Formal Name: The Heritage of Salnavar Informal Names: The 1% Kingdom, The Holy Kingdom, Clam Kingdom. Abbreviation: HOS Population: 76 Billion
Technology Tags:
Medical Science – Advances in medical science from this human nation allows them to keep their population maintained. However some scholars believe that this is a bad thing due to the now over-population problems facing many of the cities.
Tactical Arson – Fire, and its uses to burn and create death is something the Heritage specialises in. Flammable materials and instantly corrosive flame weaponry is the mainstay and bulk of Heritage forces.
Extremely Heavy Armour – Thick, micro-weave compound armour plating, accompanied with under-suit power jacks ensure that Merek workers, soldiers and engineers could have a steel girder fall on them that would normally crush a man, but their suits of armour would keep them preserved.
Guass Weaponry – The magnetic upgrades of both the ballista and the crossbow allow the peasants to operate crossbows and the aforementioned siegeweapons the same way, however, when they pull the trigger they activate energy unknown which can rip a man in half.
Species And Culture:
Species:
Man, with their square jaws and broad shoulders. Mankind enhabits the world of the Heritage, and are deliberately kept in the dark by their alien masters.
The Salnavar are the alien overlords of man in the Heritage. The Salnavar make sure that man is deliberately kept in the dark, poorly educated, and superstitious, as a form of loyalty. Salnavarians are however a race in constant decline. Their decline has led them to manipulate the one flourishing colonies of man into violent recruitment hovels to wage war on their species-long enemy, the Kranluthar.
The Kranluthar are brutish, deceiving, violent and angry aliens hell bent on carving as large an empire as they can inside the kingdoms planets. They have technology more advanced than that of the men on the planets in combat, but not domestically. The Salnavar in years passed had defeated the Kranluthar, but their breeding nature allows them to crop back up quickly if left unchecked. Culture:The culture of your species: their ways of life, important parts of society, etc.
Homeworld/System:
Homeworld Name: Jaheel Type: Terrestrial World Orbital Radius: 9.25 x 107 km (0.62 AU) Period: 4.00 x 103 hours (0.46 earth years) Physics: Standard iron/silicate Gravity: 10.04 m/s2 (1.03 x earth) Hydrosphere: 5 % water, 9 % ice Atmosphere: Standard breathable Biosphere: Prokaryotic microbes Civilization: Man and Kranluthar
Homeworld/System Location: 12L
Homeworld/System Description:The Jaedar System is a system of backward technology, mismatched populations and poor communication. Amidst all its problems it is often described as “more diamond than rough” due to its simple denizens, man. Jaheel is a planet into which the Salnavar has not seen fit to introduce most modern technology, although the advent of certain advanced medical technologies such as basic antiseptic agents is often an exception so as to keep such worlds' labour productivity and armed forces high in the face of the odd plague, epidemic or war. Jaheel is defined as a planet of the Salnavar that has developed late Iron Age civilisations that are moderately technologically advanced while still remaining pre-industrial, having usually progressed as far as to discover or re-discover rudimentary gunpowder weapons with augmented, pre-existing alien technology such as plasma technology. The planet possess widespread advanced farming economies and typically have dense population areas of 10,000,000 to 500,000,000 people. Jaheel is similar culturally and technologically to Terran societies in the Late Middle Ages or Renaissance periods. Generally, Jaheel will have little direct political or economic interference from the Salnavar with taxes being the only thing that realistically ends up in gaining for the Salnavar. Salnavar Directors of Jaheel will generally live on a space station in orbit of the planet to avoid altering the cultural interference, only descending to the surface to deal with rebellion or famine. This planet, and others in the system man has spread to, are populated by folk who have lost access to all but the most basic of technologies and maintain Iron Age or early Gunpowder Age societies. Farming, smithing, reverse engineering, simple labour-intensive machines such as pulleys, windmills and the like are known. These worlds are often said to be the most politically harmonious of all the planets of the Salnavar, because their peoples know their place
Politics and Religion:
Political System: Feudal Society Each peasant farms, builds or researches for his local lord. The lords all pay tribute to the local area Barons. The barons are in direct contact with the Salnavar, and tell the Salvanar of any changes, raids or anomalies in systems. The Salnavar are the deciding body in policy, mankind has no say. A common Heritage village.
Religion: Enlightened Literal Christianity, a form of Christianity with both the Old and New Testament renamed the Ancient and Practising Testaments. The Inclusion of new scripture, known as the New Testament, detailing the Kranluthar as demon spawn and the Salnavar as angels, keeps the population brainwashed.
History: In the beginning mankind landed on the Planet of Jaheel, a planet of pine forests, cold winds and barren, lifeless deserts. Jaheel had no major oceans, but a complete formation of mountain lakes and smaller swamps and rivers, all over the planet. Men knew that all ties with Earth had been lost on their journey to this planet. Due to a break in the ships FTL system half way through jumping, the ship’s crew had to learn to make do with what they had. Not only that, but also learn to cultivate soil samples, and for two hundred years the ships life devolved into a smaller society, warring amongst themselves. On the hulking colony ship they travelled on, life became savage, the vast ship became over crowed. The ship had no leadership or any plan laid out for continuing such a venture, so the planet of Jaheel was seen as a miracle when they landed. They did however, land inside the territory of a vast empire at the time, the empire of Salnavar. The Salnavar twisted man’s knowledge of aliens to their advantage, portraying themselves as gods, convincing mankind to abandon its technologies and forfeit to the alien lifestyles. This was later seen as a great betrayal, due to the fact that the Salnavar never delivered on their promises, and left Mankind alone on Jaheel for 80 years. With their systems failed, and what was left of their ship carved out to form a settlement, the people of the ship spread wide and formed hovels and towns using key parts of the ship to defend themselves.
The remains of the ship on Jaheel
The arrival of the Kranluthar on the planet of Jaheel presented many problems for man. The people on the furthest settlements found it extremely difficult to fight them, using swords and spear weaponry against terrifying weaponry that spat fire and shot beams of light. It was only when man brutally took the fight to the Kranluthar, attacking their camps in the night, proving themselves useful that they began to turn the heads of the Salnavar back to man. Man was seen at the time as useless to the Salnavar, however when reports came back that man was also a ruthless race, with foolish bravery, the Salnavar saw their use; cannon fodder. The Salnavar came back to Jaheel, now losing their war to the Kranluthar’s raids, and gave man the best in maintenance technology. Utilising hidden implants and abducting men on Jaheel; they were able to fake men having visions of technology. Man advanced its technology to learn how to create flammable explosives and heavy armour technology to openly combat the Kranluthar.
The Salnavar, in their desperate attempt to survive the brutal Kranluthar, sent man across their planets to fight their wars desperately. The Wooden Wars, where men battled across the star-kingdoms, on beaches, snow, alien jungles and against all odds, had begun. The name, Wooden Wars, came from the Salnavar, who were amazed that man was able to incorporate the most rudimentary supplies into their weapons of war that the aliens had given them. Plasma-dipped crossbow fire, burning starship fuel oil pots, alien power-cell catapults. The mere individual rabble tactics of the Kranluthar that had beaten the conventional armies of the Salnavar had caved to the brutal, unrelenting force of man.
Man fought for his right to survive, adapting in the face of certain defeat.
Man had been cast amongst the worlds of the Salnavar, which annoyed the aliens. The aliens however, too few in number, could not fight man; and still needed man to keep the Kranluthar at bay. This was described as “pestus adversum pestus” by human scholars. In the current age, only Barons are lucky enough to be contacted by the Salnavar. Barons are also the only ones educated enough by the Salnavar as to not see them as higher beings.
Colonies:
The Roule System: 9I
The Roule System is the primary production and trade facility of the Heritage. Most travel and trade representative of the kingdom will come through the Roule System, due to the proximity with the other, big, known places in the universe.
Snow dominates the north and south poles of Roule I, what is known as an ice planet in every area but its equator, the planet is small, taking a measly 4 weeks by carthorse to travel from one snow to the next. Roule I is a Salnavan source of energy, and most peasants not living at the equator are supplied cold weather farming machinery to dig deep under the ice, farming crops all year around. Roule I, like its sibling planets, has 4 space ports on its equator to maximise trading on the star ships in the province. There are four large hovel cities build on the equator, around the space ports. This is due to the ease of use and lack of travel expense transporting food to the markets and the transport shipping. Roule I is a machinery planet, hosting foundries that do not rely on the cold weather. As such, knights and levies from Roule I are never in short supply of fine, thick armour and a well forged plasma crossbow.
Roule II, its cousin closer to the Roule Star is an arid, jungle planet, and home to the Kranluthar. Known to humans as a “game world” it has thick, betraying jungles and vicious carnivores the likes of which to make a man cower in fear. For lords and Barons however, it is the perfect planet to find trophies and riches, not only that, but to honour the Salnavar, Barons will launch crusades on Roule II, hoping to finally rid the planet of its Kranlutharian population, to no avail. What outposts that do exist on Roule II are fortified space ports, surrounded by lumber mills which saw into the jungles to fuel the fires of war.
Roule III, even closer to the sun is an odd planet, only inhabited by the hardiest of men. High cliff plateaus separate kingdoms, high mountain ranges make for huge natural fortification realms, with some kingdoms only having one set of stairs up or down. Wracked by furious electromagnetic storms, sailing is dangerous, but rewarding for those who do. The planet has very few large continents, but rather hundreds of small islands with high peaked mountain castles, each operating as a fiefdom. A series of ferries connects the islands on this small planet. The ferries all lead to two, huge space ports, on the north and south poles, where the water currents are the most stable. Tsunamis can cause havoc on smaller kingdoms, but the men from Roule III are seen as hardy, active and keen to explore due to the constant search for new islands and riches. Some kingdoms in Roule III have become so over populated they have dug under their islands, deep into the crust of the planet, creating labyrinths of catacombs under the mountains they defend.
Military Specifications: Conscripted Anarchy. The tactics of the Heritage military differs severely depending on the army controlled by the lord or the baron. Mainly fighting consists of spreading as wide and far as possible, and doing as much damage to civilian areas as possible in order to turn public order against the faction they may or may not be fighting.
Military Composition: Forces in the Heritage are not required unless the Heritage is at war, when war is declared, all peasants under a lordship are injected with mind-alerting “war drugs” and given rapid gene therapy by night bots. Night bots are stealth drones used by the Salnavar to make man believe they are actively watched over and protected by god. These bots are responsible for changing man how they see fit with rapid memory-inception (visions and dreams).
Hero Character: Name: Lord Lukas Lockslybane the 17th Race: Human Age: 54 Position: Baron of the Salnavar Elective Allegiance: Salnavar Appearance: Lord Lukas was a staff officer on the colonial ship carrying the men to the planet Jaheel. He was an extremely charismatic figure, loved by all, however he was kept in stasis upon arrival to Jaheel and kidnapped by the Salnavar, to lead man and keep them controlled in the event of a human uprising against the Salnavar.
