The Remians

Species Name: Remians

Species Characteristics: The Remians are a fairly new race all though just 2000 years old the Remians have allready discovered advanced technology and the secrets of Space travel. Many planets have allready fallen under the Remian Empire. The Remians can breath all gasses due to a special quality in their lungs, they have the ability to refine all chemicals into, Oxygen to breath. Remians have the same qualitys as humans other then their eye colors usually are pure gold or silver. They have an Olive skin tone and usually brown hair. The Remians are master linguists capable of learning languages one hundred times faster then most races; making them excelent diplomats. All though, usually the only type of diplomacy a Remian would like is delivered by a gun and not a dictionairy. The Remians allthough being advanced medical technology are more suceptible to deseases then most species, and they starve three times faster. If a Remian doesn't get food within three days they will die of starvation.
Which explains the low ammount of actual Remian soldiers in the Empires army the elite legionaires are Remian but most of the army is made up with foreign Auxillarys.
The Remian people are driven by a urge to have blood aquisition orgys and genocides.

Spoiler:

Planets Inhabited: The Remians currently inhabit two planets and are in the process of invading the planet of Del'torus a planet inhabited by an intelligent species much like the Minotaurs of old human mythology.

The home planet being Atlas. The Remians have recently conquered the planet of Jipetto Six, Wooden men called Pinochions inhabit the planet.

Trade: The Remian home world of Atlas have the largest recorded amount of Rare metals and Ore. Most of Remias campaigns are funded by this trade, which they share with planets in nearby galaxys.
Alot of Remian society is controlled by the men and women who run the Ore trade adding a little corruption to Remia.

Muidians: The Muidians are a Race of tall fast beings that inhabit the planet of Atlas their sentient and intelligent but otherwise apes compared to the Remian empire, however the Empire facinates the Muidians and they happily serve as loyal servants and Auxillary forces.
Muidian culture is barbaric and a crude imitation of Remian culture mixed in with some of their own, they have a very pale violet shade of skin and are about ten feet tall with four long arms.
They have the strength of ten men but are normaly a gentle people who are die hard fanatics of the imperium. The Latest Emperor Merius Decidimus the Sixth has recently begun a process of educating the Muidians and testing on them to cure certain deseases the Muidians seem to be immune to such as Cancer and some mental illnesses.
The Muidians have shown a supernatural skill in flying ships, only the more intelligent of the species are allowed to fly to be safe but they'l usually surpass any Imperial pilot in no time.
The Empire uses Muidian Auxilla in Shock units and as Samnites.
Yes their constantly exploited.

Government Type: Empire, the Remians have an Empire, it originally started as a monarchy but when that monarchy crumbled a republic was formed to protect the people but that ultimately failed. A thousand years ago a series of civil wars broke out and the first emperor was crowned. Ever since the empire has flourished.

Religion: The Remians believe in many gods, once being oppresed for such beliefs by the late Vont Imperium which spread the word of Cardice the lady of blind light and deaf darkness to all planets they could through what ever means necessary. Not only did the Remians overthrow their theological oppressers but they spread the knowledge of their pantheon of gods through out the galaxy.

Telekenesis: The Remian women and men have some strange physcic powers those being the women have unatural forsight, one example being one Woman saved an entire Remian colony from a Vont Imperium invasion by readying the people a month before hand without her future sight millions of lives would have been lost. The Men of Remia have a very slight gene that is usually hereditery not many people have giving them the ability to move objects by sheer force of mind.

Military Information: Being a very military like people the Remians invest alot of their time and money in military achievements, commercial and public space travel wasn't available in Remia until the turn of the century the only Spacial vessels were Military. Remians use mostly projectile weapons and have harnested the power of raw energy to form a new kind of lazer weaponry. The most common weapon being the Heavy Machine gun AKA the Heavy Grav gun. The Heavy machine gun has the ability to fire special high presure rounds that defy gravity and well the laws of physics, the weapon does massive damage and can shoot at astonishing rates but the flaw is when someones shooting that gun your going to hear it a mile away.

Technology Achieved: Most of the technology in the Remian empire is similar to that of all people. The Remians are a leisurely people who have great military ambition and are very advanced for their young age. The greatest technology of all is the invention of teleportation which made warfare and deep space exploration the piece of cake it is to the Remians. The Remians have advanced the medical field to an extreme, even curing the common cold. But the pride and joy of Remian culture is their interstellar warships capable of mass transportation.

Alliances: The Remians being very diplomatic as well as war like only wish to expand their territory but are all ways more then happy to make allies anywhere they can. Their main Ally being the Arignians the Remians and the Arignians share a powerful friendship ever since the Arignians freed Atlas from Vontarian rule.


Rank System:
The Remian army is one of the most diciplined well equipped fighting forces in the known universe with a large rank system.

Contubernium: (tent group) consisted of 8 men.

Centuria: (century) was made up of 10 contubernium with a total of 80 men commanded by a centurion

Cohorts: (cohort) included 6 centuriae or a total of 480 fighting men, not including officers. In addition the first cohort was double strength but with only 5 centuriae instead of the normal 6.

Legio: (Legion) consisted of 10 cohorts.
Additionally each Legion had a 120 man Alae (cavalry unit) called the Eques Legionis permanently attached to it possibly to be used as scouts and messengers.

Therefore the total fighting strength of a Legion:
The First Cohort totaling 800 men (5 double-strength centuries with 160 men each) 9 Cohors (with 6 centuries at 80 men each) for a total 4,320, and an additional 120 man cavalry for a grand total of 5,240 men not including all the officers.

The basic designation of the 10 cohors was the same throughout all the Legions. They were arranged in battle so that the strongest and weakest units would be mixed throughout the formation maximizing moral and effectiveness

Cohort I: Was made up of the elite troops. Its direct commander was the Primus Pilus, the highest ranking and most respected of all the Centurions.

Cohort II: Consisted of some of the weaker or newest troops.

Cohort III: No special designation for this unit.

Cohort IV: Another of the four weak cohorts.

Cohort V: Again, no special designation.

Cohort VI: Made up of "The Finest of the Young Men".

Cohort VII: One of the four weak cohorts and a likely place to find trainees and raw recruits.

Cohort VIII: Contained "The Selected Troops".

Cohort IX: One of the four weak cohorts and a likely place to find trainees and raw recruits.

Cohort X: Made up of "The Good Troops".
Roman Legionary Ranks

The following list indicates ranks from highest command to lowest common soldier:
Senior Officers of the Roman Legion

Legatus Legionis: The overall Legionary commander. This post was generally appointed by the emperor, was a former Tribune and held command for 3 or 4 years, although could serve for a much longer period. In a province with only one legion, the Legatus was also the provincial governor and in provinces with multiple legions, each legion has a Legatus and the provincial governor has overall command of them all.

Tribunus Laticlavius: Named for the broad striped toga worn by men of senatorial rank. This tribune was appointed by the Emperor or the Senate. Though generally quite young and less experienced than the Tribuni Angusticlavii, he served as second in command of the legion, behind the Legate.

Praefectus Castrorum: The camp Prefect. Generally he was a long serving veteran who had been promoted through the ranks of the centurions and was 3rd in overall command.

Tribuni Angusticlavii: Each legion had 5 military tribunes of equestrian (knight) class citizens. They were in many cases career officers and served many of the important administrative tasks of the Legion, but still served in a full tactical command function during engagements.

Primus Pilus: The "First File" was the commanding centurion of the first cohort and the senior centurion of the entire Legion. Service in this position also allowed entry into the equestrian social class upon retirement.
Mid-Level Officers in the Roman Legion

Centurions: Each Legion had 59 or 60 centurions, one to command each centuria of the 10 cohorts. They were the backbone of the professional army and were the career soldiers who ran the day to day life of the soldiers as well as issuing commands in the field. They were generally moved up from the ranks, but in some cases could be direct appointments from the Emperor or other higher ranking officials. The cohorts were ranked from the First to the Tenth and the Centuria within each cohort ranked from 1 to 6, with only 5 Centuria in the First Cohort (For a total of 59 Centuria and the Primus Pilus). The Centuria that each Centurion commanded was a direct reflection of his rank. (Command of the First Centuria of the First Cohort was the highest and the 6th Centuria of the 10th Cohort was the lowest). The 5 Centurions of the First Cohort were called the Primi Ordines, and included the Primus Pilus. Additional ranks are highlighted here:

Pilus Prior: The commander of the first cohort of each Centuria (except the first), with the following titles for the Centurions in sequence throughout each Centuria.
# Pilus Posterior
# Princeps Prior
# Princeps Posterior
# Hastatus Prior
# Hastatus Posterior

The following chart identifies the centurion command structure of each century, cohort and legion, including their typical battle arrangement with strongest from right to left. The bracketed name in each column signifies the actual title of that officer. For example: the Quintus Princeps Posterior was the commander of the 4th century of the 5th cohort.

Low-Level Officers in the Remian Legion

Principales: The Principales would be the equivalent of modern day non-commissioned officers and had the following rank structures from highest to lowest.

Aquilifer: A single position within the Legion. The Aquilifer was the Legion's Standard or Eagle bearer and was an enormously important and prestigious position. The next step up would be a post as a Centurion.

Signifer: Each Centuria had a Signifer (59). He was responsible for the men's pay and savings, and the standard bearer for the Centurial Signum, a spear shaft decorated with medallions and often topped with an open hand to signify the oath of loyalty taken by the soldiers. It was this banner that the men from each individual Centuria would rally around. A soldier could also gain the position of Discentes signiferorum, or standard bearer in training.

Optio:One for each Centurion (59), they were appointed by the Centurion from within the ranks to act as his second in command.

Tesserarius: (Guard Commander) Again there were 59 of these, or one for each Centuria. They acted in similar roles to the Optios.

Cornicen: (Horn blower) They worked hand in hand with the Signifer drawing the attention of the men to the Centurial Signum and issuing the audible commands of the officers.

Imaginifer: Carried the Standard bearing the image of the Emperor as a constant reminder of the troop's loyalty to him.

The Rank and File of the Remian Legion

Immunes: These were trained specialists, such as surgeons, engineers, surveyors, and architects, as well as craftsmen. They were exempt from camp and hard labor duties due to the nature of their work, and would generally earn slightly more pay than the Milites.

Discens: Milites in training for an immunes position.

Munifex (or Miles Gregarius): The basic private level foot soldier.

Tirones: The basic new recruit. A Tirones could take up to 6 months before becoming a full Milites.

A Brief History of the Gaia and The Vontair Imperium

By the year 2012 the Remian nation had just discovered the secrets of space travel not advanced but enough to learn about the cosmos. Same with the Pinochions of Jippetto six who had not even learned the arts of gun powder nor wouldnt for another three hundred years. The Minotaurs of Del'torus were busy in deep civil war and had not even seen their moon.
But Vontair had mapped out the galaxy visited the stars found planets that hadn't been previously imagined and wonders and wisdoms the like of which the other sleeper races could not even imagine.
One of those being Lilianna the Lady of Blind Light, found on a abandoned colony in the ruins of some old, old nation long dead with time. Vontair explorers would later record how they found her and the things she told them.
So enamoured with her the explorers brought her back to Vontair seeing her as a Goddess. Unfortunetly so did the rest of the planet. The second her forced feet touched the ashy ground of Vontair she evaporated into a mist. Some saw her Wisdoms as words of peace but others saw it as a declaration of War.
Missinterpreting this the Imperium used their Ships for something they had never before thought of.
War.
The first planet hit was Jippeto Six the Missionaries arived on the surface perhaps if the Pinochions had been less hostile things would have been different but it was not so. They were all slaughtered mercilessly and the Vontair imperium for the first time looked on with scorn that which they called the Heathen. Fleets of warships and Vontarian Soldiers with their Elessar Counts and the Great Magister Lord himself; reigned down hell apon the primative beings spreading the word of Liliana the Lady of Light, perhaps against her, but in her direction, by gun point.
For the first time in a Millenium the Vontarians taste blood being completely pacified by the last great war a estimated million years ago. The Vontarians discover a sick twisted thing.
They Like it.
Ships launch in all directions quickly pacifying the combined might of the Gaia system even the Organized rebel forces of Remia fall before the might of the Vontarian imperium, being far more advanced then first thought Remian forces initially surender. Unfortunately for the Muidians this logic did not come as fast and many were lost in the rebellion.
For the first time ever the Remians looked on from the other side of slavery.
For two hundred years the Remians stayed shackled until one day a man by the name of Marcus Bellena led a revolt all though utterly defeated and small the rebelion managed to escape in a comandeered Vontarian Coffin ship and fled to any planet they could find, they found Arignia.
As curious as they were the Remians had no intentions of finding out where they were or who theese people were and quickly asked for help seeing the threat close at hand themselfs the Ariginians traveled with a full army to Remia in the hopes of vanquishing the Vontarian Rule.
It was sucessful completely taken by surprise Vontarian forces were routed and destroyed Remia was free once more.
In the days to come the Remians crushed all Vontarian reign on the planets of the Gaia system and eventually destroyed most of Vontair.
The war was over and the Remians realised there was alot left to learn.

Remian Troop Types

The Remian army has a wide variety of troop types each with different tactics and weapons.

Praetorian Guard: The best of the best the most elite soldiers are the Praetorian guard only citizens are allowed to join and their picked straight from the Legions mostly battle hardened veterans, they guard diplomats and people in positions of high command. Their equipment is typically the Volt spear and Volt shield with a Grav Pistol.
They wear heavy armor, clearly distinquished with their Red Coolus on the helmets.

Legionaries: The Elite troops of the Remian army, only actual Remians are allowed to join the Legions they have advanced training and equipment with heavy armor.
Their weapons include a Volt shield and Heavy Grav Gun. Remian Legionaries have a special hand grenade called the Pillum it blows up when it hits a foreign object with certain force making it impossible to throw back.

Equites: The Equites are the pilots of the Remian army whether that means driving the Cyclops the heavy Remian tank or flying Interstellar class battle cruisers such as Triton and Scylla. The Equites typically come from wealthy familys or anywhere within the Remian hierarchy.

Triari: A powerful fast attack unit for the empire the Triari carry Volt spears and wear jet packs and fly right into the thick of the fight. The triari are made up mostly of citizens and are allways used on recon missions.

Hastati and Auxillary: Most of the Remian army is made of Foreign Auxillarys and small hold farmer Hastati. They carry a similar gun to the Legionaries Gravgun but they only carry a Light Grav gun similar to a rifle their armor allthough lighter then that of the heavy shock troop legions is allmost as effective. Their the main ground troops and are mostly used to flank and out manoeuver the enemys or guard the Legions flanks.

Interstellar Travel:

The Remians pride themselfs on their Warships possibly the most advanced in the Universe
All though very similar to Vontarian Naval cruisers in design, you wont find any ship that truely runs the way a Remian Ship does.

The "Colosus" XR-12:

The XR-12 Interstellar Tanker/Baracks or "Colosus" is primarly used to carry troops from the surface of the planet to the hanger of a nearby Flagship. The stunning "Colosus" can carry anywhere from 100 personel to 1000. The XR-12 all though not being designed for combat has excelent armor and Volt Weapons capable of cutting through any small Fighter like a knife through butter.





The Manticore:

The Manticore is hands down the most useful ship in the Remian Navy doubling as a Tactical Strike Bomber, Stealth Ship, Molk transport and plain old Dog Fighting Fighter. If the Manticore had a personality, it would be that of the cocky youth who over does himself each time to take out the burly veteran. The Manticore of course derives its name from the Ancient Beast the Manticore a Lion like creature covered in quills it would shoot from all directions particularily its tail. Allthough the Remian Manticore ship does not have a tail it does not lack the firepower of those Myths of old it has cannons lining the hull and main Volt rods used to strip ships bear. They have a large cargo door used for loading platoons of men and bombing enemy forces. While the ship was not made to hold a crew above 40 it can carry around 80 bodys. The versiltility of the Manticore makes it the heart and soul of the Remian Navy, well appart from the Titanic "Titan" Cruisers.

Titans

Every Remian fleet has at its head a massive Titan ship each unique, Titans are possibly the most powerful interstellar vessel in the galaxy, due to many factors their massive size all most three quarters that of earths moon, their super charged armor constructed with the finest metals in the universe and their electromagnetic fields or their super powered weapons and highly advanced auto turret/targeting system. The Titan being so large can carry a approximate twenty million people. Each Titan is made to cover different aspects the Titan ship of Triton fleet was made to act as a mobile base of operations all though no Titan doesn't serve this purpose, just Triton was made to. The Titan Ship Scylla was built to be extremely effective in combat it even has the capability to split into four smaller ships each of great power.
While the Titan Orion was built for speed, all though all Remian ships have teleportation and Light Speed, Orion is conciderably faster.
Fleets are built around Titans, the admiral of a certain fleet can only be promoted to this rank has he spent some previous time on that fleets Titan due to their difference from other ships and essential strategic value.
Many people say that the Titan ships are the eagle herself rising from the planet to extend her reign. Being the heart and soul of the empire Titans are extremely popular and when ever the Trillions of dollar projects begin the people are surprisingly supportive.
