Fiction:New Pepis Empire

The (New) Pepis are a human-like people of ecologists native to the "megagalaxy" (created by the cleanslate). They are not very powerful but far from the worst empire in the megagalaxy. For example, the Pepis often use armor made from plasma and steel as well as an antimatter hand gun.

Pre-Space
The Pepis are native to the planet of Pepias. During the tribal era, they created a large tribe area by conquering other tribes and cutting down many trees, and did the same to create a planet-sized city, called Pepias after the city. However, ten years before the first spaceship, the Pepis discovered that cutting down all the trees led to an oxygen-depletion on the planet. A replanting effort, named the PPE "Pepias Planting Effort", saved the Pepis from total destruction. In the decade, it was time to create an ecological, somewhat "dipomatic" empire.

Space Era
To this date, the Pepis Empire spreads 3 planets. (More on Pepias will be added eventually). The second and third planets still have a full ecosystem. "More about the PSP "Pepis Space Program" coming soon.
