--What is your societies name? Mechalus Collective (Unless someone else can think up a better name) --Summarize your society in a few lines. This will be used on a society cover page. A Cybernetic Society. They are like the Mechalus in Alternity with a bit of Borg characteristics, but they are not aliens. --Geography Part of the Inner and bordering the Outer. --How much does your society interact with others? (I.e.) How close are you to other players? They are in contact with some neighbouring societies and are into some trade, but they were keeping a low profile since the break up of the Hegenomy. --How big is your society? Does it contain a habitable or marginally habitable planet? Does it cover multiple systems? If so, how spread out is it? You needn't give a population figure, just an estimate of The Collective control 8 systems. Due to their Cybernetic nature, the systems are habitable to them, but they only control 1 Terran type world and control 3 colonies ceased from the Hegenomy. --Is your society particularly rich or poor in any resources? They are quite resourful and efficient. So technicly Rich since they are able to acquire resources from places where most of other societies cannot. > > History --What did your society do during the rise of the Hegemony? They allied themselves with the Hegenomy, having some joint reasearch projects into Bioteks and Psionics. --What did they do during the Century of Fire? Help defend the Hegenomy and later cancelled their alliance by ceasing 3 Hegenomy systems. They recalled their forces from the war and kept a low profile ever since with limited interaction and trade with other neighbouring societies. They kept their systems heavily defended and many patrols in hyperspace near their systems. Culture --Societies often display a degree of schizophrenia regarding goals. What are a few major divisions? To people of this the Collective, technology exists to enrich the life of the individual. Robotic and Cybernetic science has soared to great heights within the star systems of this nation, providing its citizens with the opportunity to explore their inventive ideas and bring even more amazing technology into the universe. They trive for Technoligical perfection. They are like the Mechalus in Alternity witha bit of Borg style, but they are not aliens. >--Does your society have any areas (technological developments or skills) where it's better or worse then the average of Human space? They specialize in Cybernetics, Biotek, Nanotechnoly, Robotics, etc... --Is there any special emphasis towards or away from the military? They have a large fleet of Small Self-sufficient Attack Ships. (Like the Breen ships in DS9 sort of). As part of taking a low profile, their systems are highly defended by them. You might occasionaly fine some of those ships in Hyperspace Patrolling near their systems. They also have a effective grounds forces which they had used to cease the three Hegenomy colonies. --Do they have any special relation with Psionics? Mass hatred, promoted in the gene pool, etc. Since they do not pocess any Psionics in their society due to their nature, they have made a lot of experiments in Biotechnologies and Psionics with the Nexites to integrate Psionics into their society. Since the breakup of the Hegenomy, they continued with their experiments to integrate Psionics in their Cybernetic society. They were successful, but Psionics is still limited and are still trying to pefect and improve it. They do pocess some Psionic weapons and other related technologies. Due to their nature, they are naturally immune against Psionics mostly. --Are there any setup effecting aspects of your society I haven't asked about? The mechalus capital is called Aleer. Superficially at least, they resemble humans, but the differences are overwhelming: Mechalus are naturally-cybernetic creatures. Their physiology is a blend of organic and metallic elements, with veins of circutry and other components of synthetic material. The Mechalus are, in fact, born this way, the product of centuries of technological evolution since they first colonized Aleer. Also, as a twist, can say they were involved in the attack at Mar'Sara which ended making the Mar'Saran Defencive a bit paranoid in getting their military. Just to say, i suck in making up names and i do suck in writing, despect my creative ideas.
