Species description: The Nakturians communicate as well as orientate by the way of ultrsonic signals (making it hard for them to communicate with another species as it would at best give those without the ability to hear it a headache). they can also use a similar tecnique with their tendrils, having them send out photons for them to pick up (giving the species a slightly luminiscent glow). They have also gotten four arms and are able to use them all in case of a duel; the two above hands hold a single longsword while the right lower arm hold onto a shield and the left a shortsword.




Empire History: The Nakturians are a tribal culture, focusing on individual tribal champions. When one tribe has a conflict with another each send their most skilled tribe member to duel the other, thus solving the issue. They believe in a divine life energy which exist in all living beings, as well as fires (which is why the symbol of their empire is a fire), and is channeled by feats of physical prowess, thus making a victory in single combat a divine sign. This mentality has stayed with them even as technology progressed, making melee fights extremely important to them. Tribes developed into cities however but they stayed rather benevolent towards one another, while there were sometimes repeated conflicts between a few of them they also developed an attempt to absorb one another's culture into their own and take traits from one another that they found good, answering the relative uniformity of their culture. Biologically the species has Always been predisposed towards psionics (in the form of rare "miracles" and other signs of the Divine, making those that get them highly regarded) and this has only been strengthened when they discovered the technology to bring order to the abilities. As mentioned fires are seen as Divine and their star is as such practically a god to them.

Empire Description: Eventually however the Nakturan Stratocracy was founded, led by the foremost warriors of multiple nations. They were in turn led by the Divine Warrior, the best of them all. The Stratocracy was already at the beginning a powerful federation and it quickly subjugated the other nations under the help of it's first Divine Warrior: Andlosch. Under him the science of the planet prospered and new technologies such as hyperspace travel were found. As such even the stars prove no hinder in their expansion, one world, Endcha, has been colonised already.

Military: 4
Land: 4 As most Nakturians are expected to be good warriors they can as such mobilize a large amount of skilled forces if necessary
Naval: 2  Not having met any sapient aliens yet a large fleet has not been necessary, those that they have however are equipped with the latest technology and skilled crewmen, making them dangerous to fight.

Economy: 2
Industry: 3 No big focus is put in the industry as it is considered a low status job.
Tertiary: 3 Those lower in the hirarchy are fully expected do their best to care for those higher up, the absolute lowest may not get much but in general most have at least a few to take care of them.

Technology: 3
Researched: 5 They have developed quite far in some fields: Psionics, shielding, FTL travel but are somewhat behand in others: ship weapons, Atomics.
Scavanged: 1 they have not met any precursors or their technology and thus have not gained any through scavanging.

Diplomacy: 3
Understanding: 5 They can easily get into the thinking of other cultures and appriciate them, making it easier for them to conduct diplomacy.
Espionage: 1 Neither considered honorable or productive for the kind of warfare they conduct.

Culture: 2
Internal stability 3 As the Power shifts constantly in their Stratocracy as lower class people challange those above them and advance there is not much order or stability in their system.
Marketability: 3 While there is some production of art within their empire they do not make much of it and their culture as a whole is not something aliens who are not like them would appriciate.

Quirk: Dueling, conflicts, promotions etc are usually solved though dueling.

Quirk: Peaceful Warriors, while their society is in some ways quite militaristic they still rarely go to war with one Another as they have the above to solve these things.

Quirk: Psionic Potential: They are genetically disposed towards psionics and can easier use it than others.
