The Galactic Reich of Pelagis

[Myroria]

The Galactic Reich of Pelagis is controlled by the Empeurer, Meneldur Tar-Ilium XX. It encompasses 10 major planets, countless small ones, and perhaps millions of space colonies on planets either not controlled, or not claimed. It's most recent aquisition is the Sunican System, orbiting PYS (Pelagian Yellow Star) 4,688,544, known by the inhabitants of the Sunican System as the Sun.

The Major Dominions

Pelagis (Image)

Brief description: An ecumenopolis (world spanning city) orbiting the star of Pela, a yellow star. Pelagis is slightly farther from Pela than Earth is from the Sun, but it still hospitable. It is the capital of the Pelagian Empire. Pelagis is constantly orbited by the Imperial Pelagis Navyguard, which is comprised of 3 large, 15 kilometer long capital ships, countless normal sized ships, and thousands upon thousands of Heavy Raptor fighters, who's pilots even consider themselves expendable. The greatest part of the Navyguard is the enormous Pelagis Protection System, which is the size of Iapetus (a moon orbiting Saturn).

Moons, if any: Four: Peluna, Atlantis, and Nova Pelag, the natural ones, and the PPS, the artificial one.


Taijitu (Image)

Brief description: Named after the mythical origin of the Pelagian civilization. It is the second most important world in the Empire because of it's position of being the only major world with a large source of Ununquadium, which is used to power the secondary shields of the PPS.

Moons, if any: None.

Earth (Image)

Brief description: Like many planets with previous intelligent life, the Earth was subdued and told that the Pelagian Empire had, in fact, lost the war. The Pelagian Empire has replaced every leader with a person from Pelagis, which convieniently has the same type of race as Earth (perhaps originating from the same place, say our archaeologists).

Moons, if any: The Moon, as it is known by the native population.

Orestes (Image)

Brief description: A desert engulfed planet that is known to have extinct life. It is believed Orestes, which orbits the star PYS 483,647, is one of two places where the Pelagian Civilization is known to have originated from.

Moons: One, Ganymede.

Top speed: 7,000 kilometers per hour

Capital Ships

Massive Starfighter Command Ship (MSCS) (Image)

Infantry Units of the Galactic Reich

Imperial Stormtrooper (Image)

The main stormtrooper used by the Pelagian Army. They are covered in white or grey armor (this was implemented after an embarrassing assimilation at the Expedition of the Fold). They also have an air filtration system in their helmet, which is capable of converting everything from Methane to Radon into breatheable air.

Weaponry: One heavy blaster rifle, one blaster pistol, six energy grenades.

Space Trooper (Image)

A heavily armed stormtrooper meant to go on EVA combat for short times. Good assaults have been known to disable SSCS' in war games.

Weaponry: Two heavy blaster rifles, one energy grenade launcher, twelve energy grenades.

Imperial Marine

The Imperial Marines are infantry troops serving aboard Imperial Navy ships. They are recognized by the orange shoulder pauldron they wear. They are experts in combat and sabotage aboard capital ships as well as being able to deploy in small tactical squads and cause massive damage to the ships and kill or capture everyone aboard an enemy vessel.

Weaponry: Blaster rifle, rocket launcher and thermal detonator.

Imperial Pilot

Imperial pilots are the soldiers who fly Imperial craft such as the Raptors of the Imperial Navy.

Weaponry: None.

Imperial Gunner (Image)

Imperial gunners are members of the Imperial fighter corps who man the various weapons of the Reich's capital ships, military bases and most famously, on the PPS. The Imperial Gunnery Corps often consisted of recuits from the fighter corps that were either still in training or washed out. They were tasked to use their skills with weapons to handle the powerful turbolasers and ion cannons of Imperial vessels such as MSCSs. On the PPS, the gunners (often called PPS gunners) have the additional job of maintaining a careful balance of energy in the battle station's superlaser. The most distinguishing part of the gunners are their large black helmets with a slit-like visor, designed to protect their eyes from the bright flashes of light from turbolaser and superlaser fire.

MSCS/SSCS Pilot (Image)

These pilot the huge MSCSs and SSCSs. Often up to twenty are needed in the cockpit at any time.

History

The Pelagian Thalassocracy was officially formed in the year 2103 (1863 in Earth years) when the Myrorian Imperium formed a colony on Orestes. By 2150 (1910) the Imperium had control over the entire planet and renamed itself the "Pelagian Thalassocracy". In 2167 (1927) the Pelagian Thalassocracy reached the nearest star. 2187 (1947) was the first time the Thalassocracy reached Earth, in what they knew as "The Roswell Incident". From 1947 until 2008 the Pelagians on Earth layed low, eventually managing to replace the major world leaders with their own. In 2008 Earth Years they launched the Earth Invasion, which ended in less than a week. The Pelagians won a resounding victory. The Earthians were quite pained about being conquered, so to increase their loyalty the Empeuerer Meneldur XIX terraformed Venus in 2301 (2061). In that year they also established their first permanent wormhole connection, between the Centauri System, the Pela System, and the Sunican System. All of them were located at roughly 5.6 AU from their respective star. By 2400 (2160) the Pelagians declared war on the Centauri, who attempted to kill some civilians aboard a freighter and invade the capital planet.
