Fiction:United Persan Descendants

 We have progressed beyond ourselves by discovering ourselves. 

"Our creators may be gone, their glory faded into dust. However from the dust we have risen to carry their legacy along the golden path they set out for us."

- Trinity Councilor Zuki upon the creation of United Persan Descendants

The United Persan Descendants are the reformed Vanara Empire after the transformation of the Vanara to the Naiyu Vanara and the rediscovery of their past and their Precursors. They are generally peaceful, but highly militaristic and more then willing to go to war to protect themselves, their interests, and their allies. Staunch to their tradition, but also progressive and constantly seeking to improve. They seek to progress into a bright, secure future.

History

 * Note - For prehistory see the Vanara Empire page.

Formation
The UPD was formed after the managed to reclaim their homeplanet of  with assistance from their allies and fellow  descendant races. These were the Scelus, lead by Prime Scelus Terra, who had betrayed the Horde during their attack on Vanara Empire Mirus Space, and the twin Zagreal Tarzer and Reiath. Reiath and all the Scelus except Terra were killed by the invasion force, led by Darkling Trotodrake and Darkling Acolyte Kincaido'scr. This force was composed mainly of Wasterlings and Darkling Servants, as well as an ancient noble sub-sect of the Imperium of War, whose focus laid not as much on war itself as on the slaves and other spoils they could gain from it. Under direct orders of the Dark One, assised by a squadron of Zarbanian Imperial Jaegers, and having stuck an uneasy alliance with the Leviathan Hive-Mind and Alpha Cyber Collective, the invasion force hell-bent on perventing the Vanara from retaking their homeworld and claiming powerful Persacron artifacts for themselves. However, a Persacron artifact activated by the Vanara converted the bodies of Reiath and the Scelus into spores, which immediately traveled through Accel Space, infecting every Vanara and converting them all into a new race called Naiyu, the ultimate Perscron descendant species. After retaking Alastor, the newly evolved Naiyu began to reform themselves in light of their transformation and rediscovered origins and history.
 * Note - This is not certain and subject to change once written.

Government
"To govern one must prove themselves worthy of the position of power. The worthy are not only capable, but also rule for the people not for their own ends."

The UPD has not changed much government wise from it's origins as the Vanara Empire. There is group mind which acts to organize the Empire by manipulating and communicating with certain individuals to enact it's will(this only for the Naiyu Vanara population though). However the main difference is that the top brass is dominated by the Trinity Councilers, the three most powerful rulers currently composed of Empress Zuki, Terra Prime, and Tarzer.
 * Link

Under the Trinity Councilors is the Alpha Senate who runs the UPD as a whole, the Beta Senate who runs the UPD in different galaxies, and finally the Gamma Senate which rulers over different colonies. Senators can either inherit their seat in the council or be selected democratically. As a result various forms of nobility hold positions of power. All citizens have basic rights such as freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the ability to make appeals to the government.

The UPD is effectively a stratocracy as the state and military act as the same entity. Government potions are occupied various military leaders and citizens with military service or having been honorably discharged are allowed to vote and only those who were given a station of command are allowed to be elected or inherit positions of power.

Economy
"An economy that is too controlled becomes stagnate and strangled, unable to grow. However one with no control becomes a monster that consumes everything in it's path. we must create an economy that can grow and adapt without developing into an all consuming monster."

The UPD is considered socialist, state owned and private companies existing alongside each other. In general education, power, other utilities, waste disposal, and public transport are government owned with luxury items, manufacturing, farming, and mining being privately owned. Corporations with more utility and social orientation tend be more highly valued then those that provide luxuries and are less socially oriented. Pay grade is also determined by the contribution of the individual to society, due to culture and other factors those with skills in construction, mining, etc are considered to be the most valuable members of society.
 * Link

Income is fairly equally distributed with their being a very small gap between rich and poor, most citizens being considered part of the middle class. However the economic system is not consistent throughout the entire UPD due to the highly variable situations of different colonies. The less developed colonies of Scatter Colonies tend to lean more toward state ownership due to higher emphasis on cooperation needed to survive on these harsh worlds and higher self reliance. The more developed Orb Colonies leaning more toward private ownership.

Astrology
"Adapt your world to you and the storm will smash you against the rocks Adapt yourself to the planet and the storm will pass around and over you, leaving you with only a few scars to mark it's passing."

There are two types of UPD colonies, Orb and Scatter. Orb colonies are located in the centralized Orb as its called, which is a condenced group of colonies in each galaxy they inhabit that forms the central base for their operations there. Scatter Colonies are those that are scattered throughout space. They very self-reliant affairs with their own fleets and military force for defense, though those of an Orb are reliant on the other colonies in the Orb. Many citizens also inhabit heavily defended orbital stations. The three massive Worldships Leviathan, Behemoth, and Ziz still act as one of the main holdings of the UPD. Each one is about the size of the continent of Europe and houses an absolutely massive population and has their own unique environment and even natural resources. As the UPD have maintain there colonies from their days as the Vanara Empire they have colonies in the Milkyway, Mirus, and Cyrannus galaxies. Unlike others the UPD does not adapt the planet to them, but adapt themselves to planet via cybernetic and genetic augmentation, as well as building into the natural terrain leaving very little impact of the environment.

Culture
The UPD is a mix of cultures, mostly from it's member races, but also from it's allies as well, however there a general culture within the UPD. Military and martial prowess and pride are a huge part of it with every citizen of age being given military training and considered part of the reserved forces. The views of the UPD have been tempered by harsh realities of the path that led them to this point. This has led them to be very practical, valuing things for their usefulness rather then their aesthetic value(though there is still a great love of art and media). They are well known for being highly progressive, concernd with adavancing themselves not only in technological and military capacity, but also in social capacity as well.
 * Link

The UPD puts emphasis on the abilities of the individual and nurturing such skills for the benefit of the group as a whole, believing that the differences of the individuals, not their similarities, that make the group strong. Self reliance, personal integrity, inner heroism, and hard work are highly valued believing that one must prove themselves worthy of their place.

There is great drive in the area of rediscovering their history and unlocking the secrets of Persacron technology. As a result the moment a Persacron artifact is discovered they will immediately send a reclamation fleet to retrieve and bring it in for study. The Persacron artifacts that they do have they are immensely protective of and will let few others go near them.

Another major aspect of their culture is the belief that knowledge is power and their citizens are highly educated about the forces of beings such as the Darklings, the Apathos and their nature. This has proven highly effective at combating their corruption, more so then any policy of ignorance ever could be.

Religion
The religion of the UPD has changed little in some areas since their days as the Vanara Empire. However, much has changed since the rediscovery of their history and assimilation of Persacron ideals as well as others. Still, they are accepting of other religions (or no religion at all as the case may be) as long as they do not posse a security risk, are harmful, or the religion of an enemy or hostile nation.
 * Link

Most citizens would be considered agnostic theists, believing in their gods, but not claiming knowledge as to the existence of their god thinking of it as unknown and/or unknowable. There are atheists(mostly from the Aranthrone populace) who are free to believe as they wish. However trying to make someone believe as you believe, humiliating someone, or ridiculing them for their beliefs is considered socially unacceptable and is often answered with a swift blow to the face(considered a socially acceptable response).

Technology
UPD tech is combination from all the races in their fold and whatever their allies were willing to trade with them. They are skilled at genetic engineering and nano tech, as well as having fused organics and synthetics to the point where the barrier between the two has become fully undefinable. The UPD makes use of a high level of personal augmentation of it's citizens. Genetic and cybernetic enhancements are very common and available for every citizen who follows the law and works hard to make use of.
 * Link

They use fusion reactors for power, however anti-matter reactors are used in the most important cities. For space travel the UPD uses Accel Space as opposed to Hyper Space, allowing them to avoid hyperspacial measures against them, but have a low understanding of utilizing their such measures themselves. They are also skilled at miniaturization and maximizing their use of resources, thus allowing them to make do with a smaller industrial base than most.

Advancement made from study of Persacron devices as lead to many improvements. For one improved defenses have been equipped to their ships and many of their weapon systems have been altered and upgraded. Most notably is the use of anti-matter power(though this is a rarity) and improved manufacturing capabilities giving them a larger infrastructure.

Military
The military is probably where the most changes have occurred. Having become much more integrated and refined, with most weapons, vehicles, and ships being a fusion of those of the various member races rather than each member race supplying their own troops with their own equipment, vehicles, and ships. Though highly flexible their numbers are not huge(though significant), mostly relying on their tactical abilities and competence, as well as the power of the individual units to see them through. They are also highly ruthless and willing to fight dirty to win. Along with their basic army and navy they have various special forces such as the Dark Fleet, Black Rose Psychokinetic Force, Soul Reapers Black Operations Force, and Criminal Triads they control. As well as various special projects ranging from Infinite Mobility Suits to the Progenies organism and new, cybernetics enhanced DaiKaiju.

When at war the UPD will fight their enemy for as long as necessary until a peace offer is presented, or they can present one themselves. However if an attacking force refuses peace no matter what the UPD will simply carry on until they have managed to wear the enemy down so they are no longer a threat. Though they have the power to exterminate enemy species they will never resort to such tactics. Instead they will reduce them to a few planets which they will then lock down from orbit. Preventing any ventures off the planet, but for the most part letting the conquered mind their own business.

The Axengelion were shocked and told the Empire that they would forever remain loyal to them as thanks for this gift, but act as true individuals making the decisions they wished to make.

Imprisoned Species
Species the UPD was forced to fully conquer for a variety of reasons, they are allowed to rule themselves as they see fit, but are restricted to their homeworld and any attempts to develop space flight are destroyed. After a certain level of time the UPD will release species they feel are safe enough from their imprisonment to travel through space again. Rachnid= A race of giant spiders with metallic exoskeletons capable of slaughtering Praetorian Super Soldiers. They were a savage space faring race with murderous instincts that made coexistence impossible or at least not peaceful. The UPD fought a fearsome war that was only ended when the Rad-Eater Olympians and Black Thorn Vahallans were called in, eventually driving the Rachnids back to their homeworld where they were locked down and imprisoned. This was the first incident of the UPD imprisoning a race as they relized that if they did not do something about this threat someone else would, someone who might resort to genocide and they would have to make sure the spiders were pacified so that did not happen. So far there are no plans to release the Rachnids, though they have handed some over to the Waptoria to try to establish communication. As of yet no successes has been had.

Burrok= A species who believed that they must pass seven trials to ascended to a higher plain of existence. While initially passive towards the UPD, they began to grow hostile due to the UPD's dominance over the space they inhabited. Repeated boarder violations were only the start as the Burrok began to seize resources clearly in UPD space. Demands that these action cease were met with a response stating that the Burrok believed the UPD to be one of their trials to overcome and full war was declared. The while Burrok's zealotry kept them from surrendering their passiveness ment they put up a full fight and where effectively conquered in under a month. They are considered eligible for release, though no such plans are in place.

Relations
The foreign policy of the UPD has still remained has simple as every. Remain neutral in conflicts that do not involve you or your allies, helping those who help them, respecting those who respect them, acting hostile to those who show hostility towards them, and attacking those who attack them. Boarder access and tourism is still restricted, though these restrictions are often lowered on allies who prove themselves worthy of such allowances.

There is higher emphasis on diplomacy and expanding influence. However this more so they can maintain their neutrality. However, should the diplomatic option fail and history embroiled in war has lead them to be a more than effective fighting force more than capable of making even the most aggressive enemies regret attacking them.
