Fiction:Aeoneonatrix

''' Hello there, welcome to our empire. All who fight for good are welcome here.'''

"Good Always Wins"

- The Motto of the Aeoneonatrix

The Aeoneonatrix Empire was established in 2760. Despite this, they already control roughly 500 systems. When enquired as to how the empire grew so quickly, Lingur, the captain of The Vengeance, answered “Most of our colonies were not founded by us, but given to us.”

History
The Aeoneonatrix reached spacefaring status in 2760. A Starship called The Starstreamer, was sent out with Lingur as captain with the mission to establish the best relationships possible with nearby civilizations. It found a nearby empire, who called themselves "the Protectors" which controlled about 475 systems. The Aeoneonatrix Empire developed an extremely good relationship with the Protectors. For 10 years, they let the Aeoneonatrix barrow their technology, on the condition they did not reverse-engineer it, and suffered great loss protecting the Aeoneonatrix's homeworld and 3 colonies from the nearby Spodists who would have otherwise exterminated them. However, one day, after not hearing from them for an unusually long time, Lingur took the Starstreamer, then heavily augmented with Protector technology, out to their home-planet to find that all of the cities there had been destroyed by another empire called the Mardor Empire. The Protector's Leader, Glinkshore’s dying words were permission to reverse-engineer Protector Technology, and take control of all of their colonies. As he died Lingur swore he'd use these gifts to ensure nothing like this ever happened again. The Aeoneonatrix empire faced no opposition in taking control of the colonies, as most of the nearby empires respected the protectors enough to avoid colonization, and force those few who otherwise would have colonized not to.

Government
The Aeoneonatrix Empire is governed largely by a single elected leader. This leader serves a term of 31.5 Earth years and has powers hindered only by a constitution and adherence to The Oath of Aeoneonatrix.

The Protection Relationship
The Aeoneonatrix are currently in the same relationship with several other species that the Protectors were in with them. The relationship is offered to any empire they encounter with fewer than 15 systems under its control, unless it is, despite its size, advanced enough to render such a thing unneeded. Though they do assist other empires, especially with defense against the Mardor, they prioritize those species that are in this relationship with them. Though they do not demand anything except that the citizens of species in this relationship take and follow The Oath of Aeoneonatrix, they are often given, and do accept, frequent monetary gifts from their client races. Species in the protection relationship are allowed to govern themselves so long as the Oath of Aeoneonatrix is adhered to.

Religion
The Aeoneonatrix Empire does not have any official religious affiliation; however, due to its negative interaction with Spodeism, religion as a whole is generally despised by its citizens.

The Oath of Aeoneonatrix
The Oath of Aeoneonatrix, known to the empire’s citizens simply as, “The Oath” is an oath by which all citizens are sworn to live. It reads: “I will always fight for good.

I will never act in support of pointless violence and destruction.

I will never allow evil to go on unimpeded.

I will always help those in need.

I will never allow what happened once to happen again.”

Lingur has elaborated "'What happened once’ does not refer to an exact replication of the destruction of the Protectors, but to the broader idea of a sapient species being annihilated. Any individuals who seek to do this are our enemies and will be prevented from accomplishing their goals."

Military
The Aeoneonatrix military is designed primarily to be as effective as possible at protecting client races.

Infantry
Aeoneonatrix soldiers are trained some in offense but much more in defense. However good one is at killing you, they’re at least five times as good at keeping you from killing someone else.
 * Standard Infantry: Aeoneonatrix infantry are armored somewhat lightly to increase mobility. This is because they are less concerned with protecting themselves as they are with protecting their clients, who they need to get to.
 * Defenders: Aeroneonatrix Defenders are heavily augmented supersoldiers. They must volunteer, or be volunteered by their parents, by age eight and are trained from childhood to be both important soldiers, and important symbols of hope for planets plagued by frequent attacks. Both the defender’s training and augmentations prioritize speed, agility, and protection over offense and strength.

Navy
There are 4 basic units in the Aeoneonatrix navy. Note: Though it often participates in battle, The Vengeance is technically a flagship, and thus not considered a naval vessel.
 * Hounds: Hounds are the basic Aeoneonatrix battleships.  They are armed with two large cannons in front that can be loaded with a wide variety of ammunition from Proton missiles and antimatter missiles.
 * Predators: Predators are bombers used to devastate enemy planets not only by dropping bombs, but also firing lasers, and, in theory, dropping planet busters. Because the Aeoneonatrix rarely attack except to take back conquered planets, Bombers are the least used unit in the Aeoneonatrix navy.
 * Shepherds: Shepherds are the outer space equivalent of aircraft carriers, and that’s one of their major functions. They also house Admirals and drop-ships.
 * Guardians: Guardians, though they have spacefaring capabilities, functionally have more in common with space stations. A grid of them typically takes orbit around a planet, and fires at any approaching aggressor. They are stationed around most planets containing Aeoneonatrix client races.

Clients
Aeoneonatrix clients are allowed to have their own Military and the Aeoneonatrix Empire does not assist in all military operations. However, there are few operations the Aeoneonatrix Empire will not agree to help with that will not cause them to disconnect the client race entirely. As a result a client race’s military almost always work with the Aeoneonatrix military unless the client race specifically requests not to be assisted.

Technology
Due to the peaceful practices of the Protectors, whose empire grew slowly due to their lack of conquest, the Aeoneonatrix Empire, who inherited both its technology and colonies, is unusually advanced for its size. Its tier is approximately 4.35, and is rapidly advancing as the Aeoneonatrix continue the process of reverse-engineering protector technology.

The Vengeance
The Vengeance is the most important ship in the Aeoneonatrix fleet. Even today, it is still the primary ship used for first contact, especially with potential client races. In addition, it assists in military and economic operations aimed at protecting client races.
