Thelas is the second largest Elven nation in the World, second only to Menelmacar, and maybe Taurenor. The Thelasi culture itself is highly militaristic, basing massive amounts of its culture and economy off of the military machine. The Star Empire of Thelas currently is only comprised of one system, several military bases, and its Mars colony. Although at the moment small, there are plans to expand the empire into several neighboring systems.
Transportation through the Empire is provided by a combination of starships, and massive maglevs on the surface of the planets, or in a rare number of cases, between a planet and its moons: Delos. The Thelasi are also working on a group of “warp gates” modeled off of the Stargate system.
The Thelasi military is a large and effective fighting machine. Organized around the concept of bringing massive amounts of fire power to bear on a target with the greatest speed, the Thelasi Military services are well trained in deploying from space to a planet while under enemy fire.
Introduction
Background: Thelas was founded by citizens from the former independent town of Kizter, a border town, in between Menelmacari and The Empire Of The Eternal Dawn. The Thelasi left the city state of Kizter around 1500 A.D., after wandering for 23 years, they came to the continent of Thilis, inhabited by a group of primitive humans. The Humans at first welcomed the elves, who they thought of as messengers of the gods. Unfortunatly for the elves and humans, one human, Antonio Matzera, became envious of the elfish life span and technology. He riled the humans to war, and they fought the elves. This bloody war lasted for over 200 years. In the end, the humans, formerly numbering over five hundred million, we reduced to less than a thousand, living in poor conditions in burned out parts of Thilis. The humans and the elves began to reconcile under the leadership of General Theallas Nos Dagnir (Theallas, Slayer of Kin). Thus, the modern state of Thelas was born Almost a century ago, the Thelasi Empire moved into space, aboard the starship Edenbar. For a while the civilization endured upon the massive world-ship, until the Empire found a good planet to colonize, then they found the Mirimar system. Recently, several decades ago, the Thelasi Empire conquered the planet of Axara and settled on it.
Geography
Location: Thelas is located in the Mirimar system, composed of three planets and a massive asteroid shield that surrounds the system. The capital is on Axara, with a massive construction yard on the gas-giant of Delos, and mining bases on the two surrounding moons. A training center is located on the hostile world of Maximis, closest to the sun. Area:
Land: An entire planet’s worth Water: A heck of a lot Total: Your guess is as good as mine
Land Boundaries:
Boarder Countries: None
Coastline: Well… there really isn’t a coastline per say… their the space…
Maritime Claims:
Contiguous zone: The entire ocean… Territorial sea: Ever cubic foot of water… Exclusive economic zone: … continental shelf: …
Climate: Depends on the region and/or planet.
Terrain: Axara: Because of the planetary obit, Axara is a temperate world, covered by forests. With two huge ice-caps, and a relatively small rainforest band near the center, most of the planet is covered by massive forests, with trees hundreds of meters high, and sturdy enough for entire cities to be built in their branches. The Thelasi live in huge, walled, cities on the planet, cut out of the trees. Some other cities are literally built into the trees. Delos: A gas giant… Lunar 1 & 2 are barren, low gravity worlds, both of them are very functional, and not much else. Maximis: A hellish landscape. Because of its orbit, one side is always pointed towards the sun, the other side always facing space. Because of the ridge of mountains that separate the two sides, temperatures can go from three hundred degrees to negative twenty degrees by simply passing over the ridge. Also, gravity is not stable, on the irradiated side that faces the sun, there is almost no gravity, on the cold side, gravity is more than three times heavier than on Axara, or Earth.

[b]Natural Hazards:[/b] Axara: Snow-storms and massive rain-storms are common on the planet. It is also not uncommon for there to be an earth-quake Delos: Gravity storms and ion storms are common, as solar flares hit the atmosphere, and asteroids pass by Lunar 1, 2 and the Delosi Ring Maximis: The entire planet is really one natural disaster. Solar flares can irradiate the Hot Side, and flash floods are common on the Cold Side, as the snow melts, after a Solar Flare hits the planet.
