The United Republic of Adrogantia is a massive, environmentally stunning, economically powerful and safe nation, renowned for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population enjoy many civil rights and a large economy and take part in elections and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion. Education is top priority to government funding and social welfare is a secondary priority.
Adrogantia is a space fairing nation resembling the game Halo: Combat Evolved. It has its own planet with many cities in it's solar system, Morningstar, and several colonies around the Orion constellation.

History

Founding of the URA

First founded on Earth in 1908 on one of the pacific islands by people from english speaking countries. It lived in prosperity and peace, avoiding wars and conflicts and then saw Adrogantia was becoming too crowded for Earth. As soon as they developed their space program, in 2009, they designed several "sleeper ships" to carry them to the solar system they dubbed Morningstar which was rich in life bearing planets and many resources. The majority would go to the planet Adrogantia and the others would go to each of it's two moons named Thebes and Athens. The trip started in 2047 and only took about 50 years thanks to the active crew using gravity wells to speed themselves up before a slipspace jump. In 2098 they arrived and by 2150 they had their civilisation in Morningstar set up.

The Adrogantian-Aesiran war

In 2234 an exploration vessel discovered an empire of highly advanced beings. When they tried to make contact the transmitted a message saying "You shall not start a war with us again" and were immediately fired upon. Many attempts were made for an answer but all were told the same message. In 2246 war was declared on the race which called themselves the Aesirans. The war ended in a stalemate, all of the ships of both sides were destroyed or badly damaged, because Adrogantia had more ships but the Aesirans had more powerful but fewer ships. Eventually they aggreed to a summit which in 2250 ended the war. Due to the fact the Aesirans weren't strong enough on their own anymore they joined the URA. Their reasons due to the attacks that started the war was that they believed Adrogantia was one of their old enemies from long ago to destroy them.

Post war

After the war the Aesirans joined Adrogantia and introduced hyperspace engines, until then the Adrogantian ships used slipspace generators which were slower less efficent and much less accurate than the hyperdrive engines. The Aesirans wanted to help with the development of plasma weaponry but they couldn't only because the mineral that were needed for them have long since depleted, but allowed them to salvage the plasma weapons from their destroyed ships for Adrogantia's battleships. Only 3 Aesiran-Adrogantia hybrid ships were made and were named after three norse gods; Thor, Odin and Tyr, all with valkyrie class AIs (A more powerful type of AI that can only be housed in the hybrid ships' more powerful computers). All three are still in service today, given only to the most outstanding Admirals.

Adrogantia today

At the moment the scientists of both races are working on how to make plasma weaponry without the need of the mineral the Aesirans needed, also they are working on many other fields such as more advanced sub-light engines, generators for both cities and ships and unlocking the mysteries of the past. Adrogantia's priority is to advance, and this shows in its high government spending on education and research.

The Major planets

There are over a dozen systems belonging to the U.R.A, but most of them are not as important as these four:

Adrogantia

Located in the Morningstar system, the center of The United Republic of Adrogantia. New Churchill is located here and is the hub of all Adrogantian activity. Surrounded by twenty two orbital defensive super MAC (Guns much resemling the Rail Gun) guns (left over from the war, 10 are scheduled for decomission), three shipyards and two moons, Thebes and Athens. Thebes is the ASC training center in the moringstar system, for basic training before going to Sparta. Athens is the primary science and research center for Adrogantian space.

Sparta

Located in the Orion's spear system, Sparta is the center of all Adrogantian millitary operations due to it being rich in titanium, uranium, iron, diamond, aluminium and hydrocarbons. Although the ASC (Adrogantia space command) high command isn't located here it has ten shipyards and thrity six millitary bases, including the CNI (Center of Naval Intelligence) headquaters. It is the second best defended planet in Adrogantian space.

New Moria

Located in the Theta-Sol system, New Moria is a large mining planet. It is a gas giant, therfore uninhabitable, but orbited by Moria station which harvests gases and chemicals necesary for many objects produced in Adrogantia, like pharmaceuticals, plastics and some weapons.

Asgard

Homeworld of the Aesirans.

Adrogantia Space Command

Shortened to ASC, it is the organisation that is in charge of the navy, army and air force.

The Ships

The ASC ships use projectile based weaponry, its main gun being a magneticly accellerated cannon, missiles and anti-fighter gattling guns. The ASC have just recently developed shield defense so the shields on ASC ships are very weak but the main defense of ASC ships are their sturdyness, able to take many hits. But, the most advanced part of the ships are the AIs, they are all self aware but do not need regular memory wipes. Only issued to ships for war, but not frigates, the AIs do not control the ship, which the captain does, basicly they work as a first officer to the captain.

Fighters

The main secondary "weapon" of the ASC ships are the large fighter bays with Aquilla fighters, the main fighters of the ASC, and Falcon T78 heavy fighters, mainly used as bombers on ground missions. Also contained in the bays are Stork dropships for boarding and other troop transportation.

Space marines

When ASC ships need to go on groud missions or they are boarded or going to board other ships they have a a large platoon of marines and a squad of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers on some ships. This can vairy on the class of ship. Also, other than troops ASC ships carry vehicles. Ranging from the D23 Warthog LRV, a versitile light vehicle. To the M80E Matadon Main battle tank.
