Name: The Grand Empire of Capitol
DATE OF FOUNDING: 2088 Union timeline
MAJORITY SPECIES: Human
GENERAL AFFILIATIONS: Founder and head member of the Ancerious Pivotal Powers (APP) former member of the Dark Triumvirate before its disillusion.
SIGNIFICANT RACES: Gene enhanced humans, remnants of the Shadowguard, some sub races which can be found here and there.
ANTHEM: Long Live the Empress
CULTURE: Totalitarian surveillance state. Citizens are given somewhat free reign over their day to day lives however are constantly monitored by the state in form of the Internal Security Forces of ISF (commonly known as the ‘Vipers’) making sure that no citizens undertake illegal activity or insurgency measures, in which the Vipers will merely take them away never to be seen again, or even worst to worst call in the infamous K Battalion.
Citizens are mostly uneducated and partake in manufacturing jobs or others all state owned and non-automated to keep it cheap. Those that do show glimmers of intelligence are inducted into heavily indoctrinated education programs for specific tasks dictated by the state. Most of this is however training for the armed forces to which they are given slightly more leeway but are still watched by the ever present Vipers.
Citizens are also heavily controlled through banking measures, as technically property and currency of the state citizens back up the currency reserves and so the rich are only so due to larger and more valuable property. With protection laws allowing them to defend themselves against outside influence in the form of security services or paramilitary forces if need be. Most media outlets are inflated beyond the ability of the average citizens to pay and thus have to rely on cheap government media outlets which heavily indoctrinate and feed the population whatever they wish.
As well as this competing urban guerrillas and paramilitary forces make sure that despite all of this the death squads that regularly oversee the dissidents of the population are also not safe from watch and retribution within the system, meaning that all ranks of the Capitol citizenry essentially point weapons at the lower ranks, ensuring everyone is closely watched by higher rankings and then overall by the constant presence of the secret police, the Vipers.
FLAG: See above. The red represents the blood of those spilled to create capitol into what it is today. While the green symbolises the opposite of the red, to show that Capitol has transformed from what it was once. The burning planet symbolises Capitols desire for revenge against the Union while the sword symbolises power through warfare.
MOTTO: Capitol Forever!
CAPITAL: Celefra
SUB CAPITALS:
Nothern Territories: Rubikon, Selene, Bel Thano
Capitol Ancerious Holdings Map:
Southern Territories: Kalaras, Veneera, Erde

LARGEST CITY: Hadrian’s keep on Celefra, one massive city sprawling for many, many miles, at the heart Capitols Imperial palace and high command.
OFFICIAL LANGUAGE: English
NATIONAL LANGUAGES: Whatever is needed to conduct business.
GOVERNMENT TYPE: Totalitarian Financial Stratocracy
How its run: Empress Inara completely rules over the proceedings of Capitol, nobody watches her and she is the de facto head of state, her word is law and is not disputed by those who are not in the advisory council. Below her is her own advisory council, compiled of 3 individuals, Grand Commissar Illian Irakis who oversees the entirety of Capitols monumental surveillance system and the head of the Vipers, as well as department for media control and indoctrination. Next is Grand Admiral Raxis Ortagian who controls and commands the entirety of Capitols space naval forces and Aerospace forces and finally Ustes Niram Head of economics who oversees the massive labyrinthine banking systems and economies currently being run inside the Empire of Capitol as well as all transactions and outside banking influences as well as acts as State Representative for the Council of Economists.
Below this is the Council of Economists, who oversee the running of the Empire. Both the armed forces and police forces answer to them however the armed forces command can override this if permission from Illian himself is attained. The council can effectively control every facet of Capitol life and every day running is left to lower and lower rungs of such, each other constantly watching those below it with almost malicious intent. However the Council of Economists also answer to Ustes Niram who is the state representative and may veto the councils decisions if need be.
In every rung of the government there are what are termed as ‘Overseers’ these individuals are totally removed from humanity and are augmented so that they may constantly watch the lives of those below them for any sign of corruption or insurgency. With only the higher echelons being able to act on this through use of the police and the various death squads within the empire. This continues on every rung all overseen by the Vipers even to a father watching his sons for signs of action against the state or even against his own customs which he doesn’t approve of.
Main rulers and people of power:
Inara Garren Empress of Capitol: Empress Inara of Capitol
Grand Admiral Raxis Ortagian: Grand Admiral Raxis Ortagian
Grand Commissar Illian Irakis: Illian Irakis Grand Commissar Of Capitol
State Representative of Finance Ustes Niman: Eustes Niman State Representative Of Capitol
MILITARY POWER:
Capitols military has evolved over the years from something which was the laughing stock of the galaxy to something which strikes fear into the hearts of every military in the galaxy. Thanks to Inara and her massive reforms Capitol has advanced in technology and training in a matter of years, building a military that rivals the allied nations and is currently waging a galactic war.
Space naval forces: Under the command of Grand Admiral Raxis Capitol’s space navy is around 8000 vessels strong along with the 3 super dreadnought class ships built in support. The naval forces operate totally separately to the council of Economists and so Raxis himself oversees its deployment and advancement. While it is still watched by the ever present Vipers and overseers each ship has a complement of Commissars who work with the Vipers to root out any sort of problem that may occur with the crew. However to be in the space forces is to be very loyal, the training and indoctrination program is very long and has helped turn Capitols navy into a cunning and powerful force to be reckoned with, while not as technologically strong numbers and tactics allow it to prevail. The Space Naval Forces also encompass Capitols Aerospace forces or CAF, including fighters and bombers planet side and fleet side, meaning they also answer to Commissars and the Grand Admiral.

Army Forces: Under the command of the Council of Economists the army is heavily linked to the banking and civilian sector. Turned from a laughing stock force made up of slaves and untrained conscripts Capitols army forces are now well trained and well equipped able to meet any threat faced by it and engage it on fairly even terms. Led by various commanders and rankings based on skill the Army still however answers to the council and so has not only Vipers watching over it but also its own surveillance force. The ISS, or Internal Security Services. While the Vipers may be secret and insidious the ISS are open, overseeing the armed forces and the banks all of the big sects watch over each other. The Army forces also encompasses the planetary defence forces or PDF elements and also Capitols Oceanic Naval Forces or CONL all fall under the armed forces and thus the watch of the ISS and command of the council.

RELIGIOUS BELIEFS: Officially none, while Capitol relied on the belief that those who were Emperor or Empress were gods incarnated, like Scar and Garren. Empress Inara violently abolished this when she came to power, while it has no official religion Capitol has opened its boarders to the EPA and the Syntagma as well as the Eos Consortium and the Eostine, both being substantial in number however neither have come to blows just yet, with the surveillance services of all rungs and backgrounds watching them carefully.
MONETARY SYSTEM:
Capitol Talum = £0.00001
The official currency of Capitol is paper money called a Talum, this is backed up by the actual population themselves instead of say gold as reserves. However private banks may still set up fractional reserves as well within the system. All civilians are currency of the state, and truly rich centres are areas of worth and value like land and how many people are living in such. However with the currency naturally being like this it is not very valuable, and so Triarch Industries has ‘lent’ its property to Capitol and such in order to build huge production industry using the currency which gives it its power house status as an undervalued currency.
Every single piece of paper or electronic money is marked so that it is constantly under watch when circulated surveillance of its movements and owners by banking AIs that control the interest rate to avoid economic crises going deep enough to cause unrest preventing corruption by the banking systems and also with a government run stock market at the head this can actually alert bankers and tycoons of stock market booms or crashes at a price of course. However to help protect the military in this environment military companies have to accept investments from banks and the oligarchy to allow them to operate in Capitol and sell to them preventing any outside influences and heavily engraining Triarch Industries into Capitols economy and forces.
CLASS SYSTEM:
Higher Rankings: These encompass those in the council and the various rungs of the councils lesser control facets. These individuals while still being overly watched by those above them are much freer to do things as they please and often own estate and therefore wealth. These individuals are very well off and so often live in luxury while constantly watched they are less harried by the state than for example those of the lesser classes. Forces officers also fit into this class and while are treated to luxury incompetence or corruption are very quickly weeded out by the Viper corps.
Surveillance Groups:
ISF: The Internal Security Forces or commonly known as ‘Vipers’ are the civilian sector of surveillance however have integrated themselves into practically every facet of Capitol society. Routing out those who are insurgents or against the state or those who simply are corrupt or incompetent they typically make those individuals disappear never to be seen again, or when the death squads turn up to a location they are typically called by the Vipers. Vipers are despised by nearly everyone in Capitol, and unlike the other security services Vipers can be anyone. From your chief of business all the way down to your own sister. Vipers infiltrate and make themselves as one of the populace reporting always about others however there are branches of the Vipers that carry out counter intelligence work and even special operations in enemy territory however these are only known to a few higher ups. The Vipers are typically seen as the unseen force from within.
ISS: The Internal Security Services as they are known or ‘Black shirts’ are the internal surveillance branch of the armed forces under command of the council. While not as extensively integrated as the Vipers they do however watch the banks and also some of the civilian populace close to the military. They however are quite widely known, wearing suits and black shirts and typically carrying weapons when the Black shirts arrive it can never be a good thing, there to take people away quite visually for interrogation or death. Those that survive never come back wholly sane and the ISS also keeps a very watchful eye on the death squads and paramilitary forces that roam the empire. They are in a term the military police but far more feared, they are known as the discreet force from above.
Commissariat: The Commissariat are the surveillance group that watches over the Space Naval forces and the Aerospace core, answering to Illian Ikrakis along with the Vipers. The two groups are very heavily intertwined in the naval forces however the Commissariat are very visual and well known. Found throughout ships and bases they are marked out by their red cloaks and unwavering gaze, any who are found wanting are taken away to be questioned or executed on the spot. However unlike the other services the Commissars interact with the naval men and so garner at least a good measure of respect, while Vipers infiltrate the space vessels and snoop around pretending to be someone’s friend the commissariat are the strict force from in front.
Hydra: Hydra are the most feared of these groups. They are Inaras personal guard, but also the most elite of Capitols fighting force. Both with many units in the space naval and army forces which while receiving orders from their superiors only truly answer the Empress. Each Hydra Guard comes in two tiers, those that serve with the forces who are more like elite infantry and those that work directly for the Empress. While all Hydra Guar swear fealty to Inara only the second tier those that work alongside the Empress are those that are above the rest. Outfitted with the best and most powerful technology Capitol can muster they are equipped with the latest gadgets before anyone else. Often sent in to keep the other surveillance groups in line they typically approach such brutally. Executing CEOs as well as VIPs violently as a warning to any who may dare defy the Empress.
Borgois: The Borgois are termed as the middle class in Capitol. Essentially those industry chiefs and bankers who own private business or run state business on behalf of the council. While still far better off than the citizenry who are seen by the higher classes as merely currency to be used and sold as seen fit the Borgois suffer from the problem their ranks entail. They are heavily watched by those above and any wrong move which leads to loss of profit or production can have them meeting the death squads that roam the empire.
Citizenry: The citizenry of Capitol are heavily repressed, while they may not know it or see it they are constantly watched by everyone above them, used as currency reserve in the economy system and are used as cheap labour for Capitols manufacturing needs. While they are exploited they are fed government controlled media and news due to highly inflated connectivity prices and are routinely overseen by surveillance to ensure they are not up to anything the state deems unacceptable, to which they will either disappear or be publically humiliated.
Slaves: Capitol used to rely heavily on its slave populace, however since Inara abolished the law stating Capitol citizens can be slaves only those who were not born in Capitol, aka immigrants, prisoners of war, war crimes committers etc. are used as slaves. While the populace remains free (but not too much extent…) Slaves are kept in prison camps that are run by private companies, these work with internal prison gangs that essentially run the place and keep order in return for some luxury materials ensuring the guards do not have to interact with the prisoners. Slaves as well as used in the Capitol armed forces, as fodder units and more, often fighting against those very people they once called brothers.
SETTLEMENT OF CITIES: Capitol often take ground. Locations so that the empire may expand and more settlements be made so the population can flourish and the influence expand. Capitol first scouts out a habitable world and deems it to be available to colonise. This is referred to the council who give the overall go ahead to colonise. The colony groups then begin building cities and infrastructure before then moving onto build more advanced areas. If that planet is in fact occupied Capitol will initiate conflict to forcibly take that planet or if with an allied force move onto suitably better areas.
ALLIES:
Leistunganos Oligarchy (Shadowblade): Long term ally of Capitol even when it was back under command of Emperor Garren, Shadowblade and Capitol have always been firm allies in the premise that together they stood a better chance against the allied forces, often trading materials and people. Once one of the 3 members of the Dark Triumvirate before its disillusion Shadowblade is now a firm ally in the APP and undertakes technological trade and joint projects with Capitol.
The Shadow Guard: While technically destroyed the Shadow Guard were another close ally of Capitol and the third member of the Dark Triumvirate. Frequently trading and fighting along with the others they however fell when they surrendered to the Trinovans. Causing Capitol to turn on them and annex the territory they once held, some die hard SG supporters still work alongside Capitol however they are all but gone.
Axioms/EPA: Another recent staunch Ally Capitol has provided the EPA and the Axioms with both manpower and military aid as well as helping the Symbol Shifting Mirrors attain Axiomhood. With the EPA now working heavily with Capitol to upgrade its technology and AI systems the two are fighting closely together in the 2nd Ancerious war.
Justicars: Deeming that Capitol was their only option to aid them in their war against the USM and Bohzes Chosen the Justicars exchanged vital FTL technology that allowed for the opening stages of the war. Trading materials and people Capitol and the Justicars fight side by side on the battlefield.
Sepratist Union: Another recent ally the Separatist Union has turned to Capitol in aid of their campaign against the IRS and are working alongside the APP to keep them out of the war.
The Immortal Empire: While not technically an ally Capitol has many joint endeavours with the Immortal Empire and is hoping to conduct further operations together to make up for the past mistakes of Capitols invasion during the 1st Ancerious War.
The Silent Ones: While again not technically a full alliance the Silent Ones offered their services to Capitol in return for raw materials and people. Now Capitol finds itself equipped with better Tachyon weaponry than before and another very capable combat ally that it can rely upon.
Eos Consortium: While not an alliance the Eosians have connections to Capitol through free reign of their Faith and membership of the APP. The Eosians tolerate Capitol and have been studying it in the aid to try and understand heretic species.
Triarch Industries: A massively strong backer of Capitol. Triarch is integrated into Capitols economy and manufacturing sectors and provides not only excellent technological and military advances and material but also helps exports its own forces to Capitols command through mercenary contracts.
CDG: Allied through the APP Capitol aims to work alongside the CDG in taking the critical stage of Tau Volaris from the allies and also in keeping the creature called the Abberation in check.
ENEMIES:
Union of Worlds: Its complete mirror opposite Capitol despises the Union of Worlds. Cast out from the Union all those centuries ago Capitol has turned from a small blight to the Union into a legitimate threat. While the Union has always sort to stamp out Capitol now the 2nd Ancerious war will truly determine the overall winner and allow Capitol to get revenge for past actions.
AGA: The Ancerious Galactic Alliance is seen by Capitol as a shell controlled by the Union in order to establish a military alliance to destroy those who do not fit into the allied concept of order. Striking at the AGA members during the opening stages has made Capitol appear as a strong opponent and together with the APP established themselves as possibly the dominant force in the galaxy.
CAE: The Confederated Alliance of Empires is also seen by Capitol as another group who wish to stamp out those empires not worthy, and with ties to the AGA are deemed as a threat, also targeted during the 2nd Ancerious wars opening stages Capitol seeks to make statements to all about both its and the APPs power.
GOALS: Capitol currently wishes to rid the galaxy of the allied forces. It wishes for a galaxy in which there are not grand rules or large councils to dictate space allocation and trade establishments. It believes that each empire is entitled to whatever it wishes, if that means conflict then so be it. With this belief and those of the APP being mirrored by the allied forces this has led to the 2nd Ancerious war. And with it the galaxy now broils in war.
GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT: Capitol considers its great accomplishment to be its rapid rise from being one of the worst empires in the galaxy to being what the allies call the largest active threat in the galaxy. Thanks to Inara not only the social aspect of the empire was reformed but the entire government, how it operates, industry, military, technology and more. Now Capitol is a power house of a warmachine and is something to be feared rather than laughed at.
ANY OTHER MAJOR INFO POINTS ABOUT YOUR EMPIRE:
Overseers: Overseers are a new ‘race’ termed and created by both Capitol and the EPA. Focusing on a surveillance state EPA helped engineer a race of humans which along with augmented AI systems have information beamed directly into their brain, essentially they watch and live multiple people’s lives at once, constantly looking for anything the state deems inappropriate. All the surveillance groups use these and so do the various rings of the government. Along with sophisticated AI the system can pick out even small things to then alert either the groups or the death squads to the infringement.
Insidious pacts: Some say that Inaras rise to power seems too ‘perfect’ and that such rapid change should well have resulted in her assassination. As well as this strange ships and sightings have been seen in Capitol space and ships bearing strange organic weapons and hulls were also sighted at the battle of Histirion fighting for Capitol. While speculation and rumours rise these sights have matched to only one known species. Draken. However with their total destruction at the hands of the Union many downplay these rumours, others however. Are not so sure…
TECHNOLOGY:
Military:
Tachyon Weaponry: Tachyon Arrow profile
As above with the amendment that Tachyon Weaponry has been successfully made stable with over 100% less explosions or accidents, it has also with the help of the Silent ones been miniaturised to put into rifles and on some other ground units.
Railguns: Heavily based off Union Mass drivers here: Mass driver turret profile
However they are not equipped with void cooling or Nano assemblers, but can be loaded with flak, penetration, HE and nuclear munitions to use against the enemy.
Missiles: Capitol missiles are just like any empires standard missiles, however they typically use a three stage fusion warhead capable of delivering up to 1000MT to the target. And can be outfitted with MIRV munitions and dial a yield in case they need to select a yield far smaller to carry out limited strikes on planeside targets. These also come in anti fighter/missile variants which while not carrying thermonuclear munitions (these can be used however) use a kinetic kill method to destroy enemy craft and ordnance.
Shields: Capitol shields are a combination of normal particle shields coupled with energy shields, able to withstand both kinetic and energy weapons to some extent before collapsing. Capitol shield generators are typically found inside the most heavily armoured areas where they can be protected from enemy fire and continue to provide shield defence.
Armour: Capitol uses a compound called Azanium, extracted from Azar ore found in abundance all over Ancerious, initially demonstrated how to do this by Triarch who also uses Azanium Capitol has mixed this with other armour composites to form its own, while not as good as some other armours it is light and cheap enough to give effective protection.
Power Generation: Capitol used to use inefficient Nuclear fission reactors however recently upgraded to Nuclear fusion through use of the Migma fusion process. Using particle accelerators to induct fusion was changed to using twin particle weapons heavily modified to instead create fusion, as the fired particles produce incredible heat as they travel through the fusion chamber they induce fusion around their paths, and with a wide beam particle cannon this can produce fusion on a very large scale.
Civilian:
Medical: Medical wise Capitols medicine sector is heavily privatised with making wealth out of peoples suffering rather than curing them. Inflated prices for drugs and medical aid reduces the normal populace to sometimes having to find either alternative care or go without altogether. All medical practices are registered with the authorities who dictate what can and cannot be done, and frequently those who are in terminal stages of illness or very close to death in old age and who are of the citizenry get taken away for human experimentation.
Security: Security systems in Capitol are aided by the use of Overseers as well as specially constructed AI units made in conjunction with the EPA. Together these tap and watch practically every device and person in the entire empire, capable of editing, changing, watching and more on practically any member of society and overseen by the various security branches of the empire it is almost impossible to go against the state or carry out insurgency within capitol especially while using its own systems.
HISTORY/BACKGROUND:
Capitol has its origins back and completely intertwined with the Union of Worlds. With Earth being unified under the Coalition of Countries and the command of the enigmatic leader known simply as ‘Scar’ he aided mankind in attaining unity as well as using beings known as Angels to do so. However Scar had very different philosophies about how to advance after unification, he believed that for the human race to truly stay unified it must be under constant state of war. Declaring war on the first true alien species encountered the Cylaurians humanity was horrified when the truth of his attack and motives were revealed by the Angels. Declaring the Angels an enemy of humanity and ensuring his control and martial law would keep humanity together, the Angels banded together and along with elements of humanity and the Cylaurians ended the civil war by toppling Scars oppressive totalitarian regime. Exiling the once Emperor and his forces from the newly emerged Union of Worlds, Scar and his loyalists fled to the outer rim of the galaxy, there they conquered multiple smaller alien races and used them as subjugated slave labour. Slowly building up an empire of around 75 star systems over the course of around 45 years. This newly dubbed ‘Grand Empire of Capitol’ was run by Emperor Scar and was a oppressive regime which enslaved the populace and placed high priority on monetary value and wealth. However when the Draken invaded the galaxy Capitol was even harder pressed than the Union to stop them. With only a fraction of the technological advancements and manpower that the Union possessed Capitol relied heavily on scorched earth policy involving large amounts of nuclear munitions. With the Draken deciding to focus their might on the Union, Capitol took the opportunity to raid the Union, stealing what technological secrets and resources they could. However before any of such could be implemented the Angels led a full scale invasion of Capitol, liberating those who were oppressed and coming to destroy the empire itself. The Emperor of the Union even killing Scar himself. However Capitol had been exploring a wormhole throughout the Draken war, delegating some of its forces to establish a foot hold in this seemingly new galaxy. After Capitols collapse in the Unions home dimension it fled fully to Ancerious, with a brief moment of bloodshed between its command structures Damien Garren declared himself Emperor. Expanding Capitols gains and engaging Union forces also making their way into the galaxy.
With the events of the 1st Ancerious war, the Union demon Sotek manipulated Emperor Garren into attacking the Immortal Empire, mustering Capitols entire war machine he struck personally 5 enemy systems, completely destroying one in a super nova. At the cost of the Emperors life and despite the losses they inflicted Capitol disorganised once again fell into political instability as its forces withdrew. However Garrens own daughter, Inara Garren managed to take power, immediately implementing massive changes, purging the command structure and armed forces of inept commanders and wealthy autocrats. Completely reforming the political and social structure in such a quick manner meant that any opposition to her was quickly eradicated, with Inara having consolidated her power well before her fathers death. Immediately delegating that slavery of Capitols own population be banned became a very rallying political move, and straight after Inara began outlining Capitols complete refit and advancement of its military but technology as a whole. Within 5 years Capitol had gone from the galaxies laughing stock into a full blown military power, with massive alliances to particular elements. Now Capitol heads the Ancerious Pivotal Powers and is instigating a full blown war against the allied forces in the form of the 2nd Ancerious war.

Army Forces: Under the command of the Council of Economists the army is heavily linked to the banking and civilian sector. Turned from a laughing stock force made up of slaves and untrained conscripts Capitols army forces are now well trained and well equipped able to meet any threat faced by it and engage it on fairly even terms. Led by various commanders and rankings based on skill the Army still however answers to the council and so has not only Vipers watching over it but also its own surveillance force. The ISS, or Internal Security Services. While the Vipers may be secret and insidious the ISS are open, overseeing the armed forces and the banks all of the big sects watch over each other. The Army forces also encompasses the planetary defence forces or PDF elements and also Capitols Oceanic Naval Forces or CONL all fall under the armed forces and thus the watch of the ISS and command of the council.

RELIGIOUS BELIEFS: Officially none, while Capitol relied on the belief that those who were Emperor or Empress were gods incarnated, like Scar and Garren. Empress Inara violently abolished this when she came to power, while it has no official religion Capitol has opened its boarders to the EPA and the Syntagma as well as the Eos Consortium and the Eostine, both being substantial in number however neither have come to blows just yet, with the surveillance services of all rungs and backgrounds watching them carefully.
MONETARY SYSTEM:
Capitol Talum = £0.00001
The official currency of Capitol is paper money called a Talum, this is backed up by the actual population themselves instead of say gold as reserves. However private banks may still set up fractional reserves as well within the system. All civilians are currency of the state, and truly rich centres are areas of worth and value like land and how many people are living in such. However with the currency naturally being like this it is not very valuable, and so Triarch Industries has ‘lent’ its property to Capitol and such in order to build huge production industry using the currency which gives it its power house status as an undervalued currency.
Every single piece of paper or electronic money is marked so that it is constantly under watch when circulated surveillance of its movements and owners by banking AIs that control the interest rate to avoid economic crises going deep enough to cause unrest preventing corruption by the banking systems and also with a government run stock market at the head this can actually alert bankers and tycoons of stock market booms or crashes at a price of course. However to help protect the military in this environment military companies have to accept investments from banks and the oligarchy to allow them to operate in Capitol and sell to them preventing any outside influences and heavily engraining Triarch Industries into Capitols economy and forces.
CLASS SYSTEM:
Higher Rankings: These encompass those in the council and the various rungs of the councils lesser control facets. These individuals while still being overly watched by those above them are much freer to do things as they please and often own estate and therefore wealth. These individuals are very well off and so often live in luxury while constantly watched they are less harried by the state than for example those of the lesser classes. Forces officers also fit into this class and while are treated to luxury incompetence or corruption are very quickly weeded out by the Viper corps.
Surveillance Groups:
ISF: The Internal Security Forces or commonly known as ‘Vipers’ are the civilian sector of surveillance however have integrated themselves into practically every facet of Capitol society. Routing out those who are insurgents or against the state or those who simply are corrupt or incompetent they typically make those individuals disappear never to be seen again, or when the death squads turn up to a location they are typically called by the Vipers. Vipers are despised by nearly everyone in Capitol, and unlike the other security services Vipers can be anyone. From your chief of business all the way down to your own sister. Vipers infiltrate and make themselves as one of the populace reporting always about others however there are branches of the Vipers that carry out counter intelligence work and even special operations in enemy territory however these are only known to a few higher ups. The Vipers are typically seen as the unseen force from within.
ISS: The Internal Security Services as they are known or ‘Black shirts’ are the internal surveillance branch of the armed forces under command of the council. While not as extensively integrated as the Vipers they do however watch the banks and also some of the civilian populace close to the military. They however are quite widely known, wearing suits and black shirts and typically carrying weapons when the Black shirts arrive it can never be a good thing, there to take people away quite visually for interrogation or death. Those that survive never come back wholly sane and the ISS also keeps a very watchful eye on the death squads and paramilitary forces that roam the empire. They are in a term the military police but far more feared, they are known as the discreet force from above.
Commissariat: The Commissariat are the surveillance group that watches over the Space Naval forces and the Aerospace core, answering to Illian Ikrakis along with the Vipers. The two groups are very heavily intertwined in the naval forces however the Commissariat are very visual and well known. Found throughout ships and bases they are marked out by their red cloaks and unwavering gaze, any who are found wanting are taken away to be questioned or executed on the spot. However unlike the other services the Commissars interact with the naval men and so garner at least a good measure of respect, while Vipers infiltrate the space vessels and snoop around pretending to be someone’s friend the commissariat are the strict force from in front.
Hydra: Hydra are the most feared of these groups. They are Inaras personal guard, but also the most elite of Capitols fighting force. Both with many units in the space naval and army forces which while receiving orders from their superiors only truly answer the Empress. Each Hydra Guard comes in two tiers, those that serve with the forces who are more like elite infantry and those that work directly for the Empress. While all Hydra Guar swear fealty to Inara only the second tier those that work alongside the Empress are those that are above the rest. Outfitted with the best and most powerful technology Capitol can muster they are equipped with the latest gadgets before anyone else. Often sent in to keep the other surveillance groups in line they typically approach such brutally. Executing CEOs as well as VIPs violently as a warning to any who may dare defy the Empress.
Borgois: The Borgois are termed as the middle class in Capitol. Essentially those industry chiefs and bankers who own private business or run state business on behalf of the council. While still far better off than the citizenry who are seen by the higher classes as merely currency to be used and sold as seen fit the Borgois suffer from the problem their ranks entail. They are heavily watched by those above and any wrong move which leads to loss of profit or production can have them meeting the death squads that roam the empire.
Citizenry: The citizenry of Capitol are heavily repressed, while they may not know it or see it they are constantly watched by everyone above them, used as currency reserve in the economy system and are used as cheap labour for Capitols manufacturing needs. While they are exploited they are fed government controlled media and news due to highly inflated connectivity prices and are routinely overseen by surveillance to ensure they are not up to anything the state deems unacceptable, to which they will either disappear or be publically humiliated.
Slaves: Capitol used to rely heavily on its slave populace, however since Inara abolished the law stating Capitol citizens can be slaves only those who were not born in Capitol, aka immigrants, prisoners of war, war crimes committers etc. are used as slaves. While the populace remains free (but not too much extent…) Slaves are kept in prison camps that are run by private companies, these work with internal prison gangs that essentially run the place and keep order in return for some luxury materials ensuring the guards do not have to interact with the prisoners. Slaves as well as used in the Capitol armed forces, as fodder units and more, often fighting against those very people they once called brothers.
SETTLEMENT OF CITIES: Capitol often take ground. Locations so that the empire may expand and more settlements be made so the population can flourish and the influence expand. Capitol first scouts out a habitable world and deems it to be available to colonise. This is referred to the council who give the overall go ahead to colonise. The colony groups then begin building cities and infrastructure before then moving onto build more advanced areas. If that planet is in fact occupied Capitol will initiate conflict to forcibly take that planet or if with an allied force move onto suitably better areas.
ALLIES:
Leistunganos Oligarchy (Shadowblade): Long term ally of Capitol even when it was back under command of Emperor Garren, Shadowblade and Capitol have always been firm allies in the premise that together they stood a better chance against the allied forces, often trading materials and people. Once one of the 3 members of the Dark Triumvirate before its disillusion Shadowblade is now a firm ally in the APP and undertakes technological trade and joint projects with Capitol.
The Shadow Guard: While technically destroyed the Shadow Guard were another close ally of Capitol and the third member of the Dark Triumvirate. Frequently trading and fighting along with the others they however fell when they surrendered to the Trinovans. Causing Capitol to turn on them and annex the territory they once held, some die hard SG supporters still work alongside Capitol however they are all but gone.
Axioms/EPA: Another recent staunch Ally Capitol has provided the EPA and the Axioms with both manpower and military aid as well as helping the Symbol Shifting Mirrors attain Axiomhood. With the EPA now working heavily with Capitol to upgrade its technology and AI systems the two are fighting closely together in the 2nd Ancerious war.
Justicars: Deeming that Capitol was their only option to aid them in their war against the USM and Bohzes Chosen the Justicars exchanged vital FTL technology that allowed for the opening stages of the war. Trading materials and people Capitol and the Justicars fight side by side on the battlefield.
Sepratist Union: Another recent ally the Separatist Union has turned to Capitol in aid of their campaign against the IRS and are working alongside the APP to keep them out of the war.
The Immortal Empire: While not technically an ally Capitol has many joint endeavours with the Immortal Empire and is hoping to conduct further operations together to make up for the past mistakes of Capitols invasion during the 1st Ancerious War.
The Silent Ones: While again not technically a full alliance the Silent Ones offered their services to Capitol in return for raw materials and people. Now Capitol finds itself equipped with better Tachyon weaponry than before and another very capable combat ally that it can rely upon.
Eos Consortium: While not an alliance the Eosians have connections to Capitol through free reign of their Faith and membership of the APP. The Eosians tolerate Capitol and have been studying it in the aid to try and understand heretic species.
Triarch Industries: A massively strong backer of Capitol. Triarch is integrated into Capitols economy and manufacturing sectors and provides not only excellent technological and military advances and material but also helps exports its own forces to Capitols command through mercenary contracts.
CDG: Allied through the APP Capitol aims to work alongside the CDG in taking the critical stage of Tau Volaris from the allies and also in keeping the creature called the Abberation in check.
ENEMIES:
Union of Worlds: Its complete mirror opposite Capitol despises the Union of Worlds. Cast out from the Union all those centuries ago Capitol has turned from a small blight to the Union into a legitimate threat. While the Union has always sort to stamp out Capitol now the 2nd Ancerious war will truly determine the overall winner and allow Capitol to get revenge for past actions.
AGA: The Ancerious Galactic Alliance is seen by Capitol as a shell controlled by the Union in order to establish a military alliance to destroy those who do not fit into the allied concept of order. Striking at the AGA members during the opening stages has made Capitol appear as a strong opponent and together with the APP established themselves as possibly the dominant force in the galaxy.
CAE: The Confederated Alliance of Empires is also seen by Capitol as another group who wish to stamp out those empires not worthy, and with ties to the AGA are deemed as a threat, also targeted during the 2nd Ancerious wars opening stages Capitol seeks to make statements to all about both its and the APPs power.
GOALS: Capitol currently wishes to rid the galaxy of the allied forces. It wishes for a galaxy in which there are not grand rules or large councils to dictate space allocation and trade establishments. It believes that each empire is entitled to whatever it wishes, if that means conflict then so be it. With this belief and those of the APP being mirrored by the allied forces this has led to the 2nd Ancerious war. And with it the galaxy now broils in war.
GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT: Capitol considers its great accomplishment to be its rapid rise from being one of the worst empires in the galaxy to being what the allies call the largest active threat in the galaxy. Thanks to Inara not only the social aspect of the empire was reformed but the entire government, how it operates, industry, military, technology and more. Now Capitol is a power house of a warmachine and is something to be feared rather than laughed at.
ANY OTHER MAJOR INFO POINTS ABOUT YOUR EMPIRE:
Overseers: Overseers are a new ‘race’ termed and created by both Capitol and the EPA. Focusing on a surveillance state EPA helped engineer a race of humans which along with augmented AI systems have information beamed directly into their brain, essentially they watch and live multiple people’s lives at once, constantly looking for anything the state deems inappropriate. All the surveillance groups use these and so do the various rings of the government. Along with sophisticated AI the system can pick out even small things to then alert either the groups or the death squads to the infringement.
Insidious pacts: Some say that Inaras rise to power seems too ‘perfect’ and that such rapid change should well have resulted in her assassination. As well as this strange ships and sightings have been seen in Capitol space and ships bearing strange organic weapons and hulls were also sighted at the battle of Histirion fighting for Capitol. While speculation and rumours rise these sights have matched to only one known species. Draken. However with their total destruction at the hands of the Union many downplay these rumours, others however. Are not so sure…
TECHNOLOGY:
Military:
Tachyon Weaponry: Tachyon Arrow profile
As above with the amendment that Tachyon Weaponry has been successfully made stable with over 100% less explosions or accidents, it has also with the help of the Silent ones been miniaturised to put into rifles and on some other ground units.
Railguns: Heavily based off Union Mass drivers here: Mass driver turret profile
However they are not equipped with void cooling or Nano assemblers, but can be loaded with flak, penetration, HE and nuclear munitions to use against the enemy.
Missiles: Capitol missiles are just like any empires standard missiles, however they typically use a three stage fusion warhead capable of delivering up to 1000MT to the target. And can be outfitted with MIRV munitions and dial a yield in case they need to select a yield far smaller to carry out limited strikes on planeside targets. These also come in anti fighter/missile variants which while not carrying thermonuclear munitions (these can be used however) use a kinetic kill method to destroy enemy craft and ordnance.
Shields: Capitol shields are a combination of normal particle shields coupled with energy shields, able to withstand both kinetic and energy weapons to some extent before collapsing. Capitol shield generators are typically found inside the most heavily armoured areas where they can be protected from enemy fire and continue to provide shield defence.
Armour: Capitol uses a compound called Azanium, extracted from Azar ore found in abundance all over Ancerious, initially demonstrated how to do this by Triarch who also uses Azanium Capitol has mixed this with other armour composites to form its own, while not as good as some other armours it is light and cheap enough to give effective protection.
Power Generation: Capitol used to use inefficient Nuclear fission reactors however recently upgraded to Nuclear fusion through use of the Migma fusion process. Using particle accelerators to induct fusion was changed to using twin particle weapons heavily modified to instead create fusion, as the fired particles produce incredible heat as they travel through the fusion chamber they induce fusion around their paths, and with a wide beam particle cannon this can produce fusion on a very large scale.
Civilian:
Medical: Medical wise Capitols medicine sector is heavily privatised with making wealth out of peoples suffering rather than curing them. Inflated prices for drugs and medical aid reduces the normal populace to sometimes having to find either alternative care or go without altogether. All medical practices are registered with the authorities who dictate what can and cannot be done, and frequently those who are in terminal stages of illness or very close to death in old age and who are of the citizenry get taken away for human experimentation.
Security: Security systems in Capitol are aided by the use of Overseers as well as specially constructed AI units made in conjunction with the EPA. Together these tap and watch practically every device and person in the entire empire, capable of editing, changing, watching and more on practically any member of society and overseen by the various security branches of the empire it is almost impossible to go against the state or carry out insurgency within capitol especially while using its own systems.
HISTORY/BACKGROUND:
Capitol has its origins back and completely intertwined with the Union of Worlds. With Earth being unified under the Coalition of Countries and the command of the enigmatic leader known simply as ‘Scar’ he aided mankind in attaining unity as well as using beings known as Angels to do so. However Scar had very different philosophies about how to advance after unification, he believed that for the human race to truly stay unified it must be under constant state of war. Declaring war on the first true alien species encountered the Cylaurians humanity was horrified when the truth of his attack and motives were revealed by the Angels. Declaring the Angels an enemy of humanity and ensuring his control and martial law would keep humanity together, the Angels banded together and along with elements of humanity and the Cylaurians ended the civil war by toppling Scars oppressive totalitarian regime. Exiling the once Emperor and his forces from the newly emerged Union of Worlds, Scar and his loyalists fled to the outer rim of the galaxy, there they conquered multiple smaller alien races and used them as subjugated slave labour. Slowly building up an empire of around 75 star systems over the course of around 45 years. This newly dubbed ‘Grand Empire of Capitol’ was run by Emperor Scar and was a oppressive regime which enslaved the populace and placed high priority on monetary value and wealth. However when the Draken invaded the galaxy Capitol was even harder pressed than the Union to stop them. With only a fraction of the technological advancements and manpower that the Union possessed Capitol relied heavily on scorched earth policy involving large amounts of nuclear munitions. With the Draken deciding to focus their might on the Union, Capitol took the opportunity to raid the Union, stealing what technological secrets and resources they could. However before any of such could be implemented the Angels led a full scale invasion of Capitol, liberating those who were oppressed and coming to destroy the empire itself. The Emperor of the Union even killing Scar himself. However Capitol had been exploring a wormhole throughout the Draken war, delegating some of its forces to establish a foot hold in this seemingly new galaxy. After Capitols collapse in the Unions home dimension it fled fully to Ancerious, with a brief moment of bloodshed between its command structures Damien Garren declared himself Emperor. Expanding Capitols gains and engaging Union forces also making their way into the galaxy.
With the events of the 1st Ancerious war, the Union demon Sotek manipulated Emperor Garren into attacking the Immortal Empire, mustering Capitols entire war machine he struck personally 5 enemy systems, completely destroying one in a super nova. At the cost of the Emperors life and despite the losses they inflicted Capitol disorganised once again fell into political instability as its forces withdrew. However Garrens own daughter, Inara Garren managed to take power, immediately implementing massive changes, purging the command structure and armed forces of inept commanders and wealthy autocrats. Completely reforming the political and social structure in such a quick manner meant that any opposition to her was quickly eradicated, with Inara having consolidated her power well before her fathers death. Immediately delegating that slavery of Capitols own population be banned became a very rallying political move, and straight after Inara began outlining Capitols complete refit and advancement of its military but technology as a whole. Within 5 years Capitol had gone from the galaxies laughing stock into a full blown military power, with massive alliances to particular elements. Now Capitol heads the Ancerious Pivotal Powers and is instigating a full blown war against the allied forces in the form of the 2nd Ancerious war.
