The Human Empire has Fallen! Recently the Human Empire took a major blow and having to draw back its border, has left many planets free from previous ownership. Many were terraformed by the humans themselves, however there were quite a number of already inhabited planets which they subjugated.
And you are one of the subjugated planets that has finally been freed from the tyrant of the humans. After several years of rebuilding your people and your world, it's time to once again head for the stars and do whatever you're bloody planning on doing amongst the stars.
Or perhaps you're one of the human worlds. Maybe you're hoping to rebuild the human empire and reestablish the galaxy spanning rotten, corrupt, I mean glorious and advanced Human Empire. If that's not your objective, maybe you want to be a independent planet yourself and are satisfied with the status quo.
Traits & Stats Life: Moral
- Once it's gone, your civilization falls to anarchy (aka you loose)
- Recoverable via NPC interaction Civil Action roll.
Power: Leader's Influence
- Used as per normal at your leader's location.
- When a fleet with your Capital Ship destroys a enemy fleet or you conquer a enemy world, you gain a PP (victory = influence).
Each bonus trait can only effect one thing (Building, Defense, Attack, Looting & Mining, Science or NPC Convincing) and you can have up to two Bonus Traits of the same type (or do one of each and be true jack of all trades, your choice, pick wisely)
Civilization Creation Life and Power total should add up to 10 (not 10 each!)
Main Traits should add up to 7
Two +1 Bonus Traits or one +2 Bonus Trait.
Description should contain all your fluff, important people, species, spaceships, history, etc.
