Fiction:Vanara Nomads

 We will endure. 

"The foundation of our civilization is one of balance, without balance we only have extremes that lead us astray. We must be ready for peace and war, to think logically and feel passionately, progress and maintain, be free and restrained. We must walk this knifes edge for only in this way will we know the true path of survival."

- Vanara Imperial Doctrine

Early History
The Vanara are relatively new to the Milky Way having seemingly just appeared in space on their three world ships(Leviathan, Behemoth, and Ziz). Since then they spent most of their time scavenging resources and technologies left behind by other empires. Their first war was the shadow war against a race know as the Demonica, which resulted in victory for the Vanra, and the assimilation of the remaining Demonica into the Vanara group mind, and eventually into the Vanara species as a whole, resulting in a new breed of Vanarra. The Vanara then spent the rest of their time fighting the Verasien pirate fleets, which had been raiding Vanara systems. The pirate fleets were never fully destroyed, but were completely forced out of Vanarra space. The Vanara were once isolationist, only contacting other empire when they felt like it and destroying without question any alien ships found in their space, thou recently they joined the Unified Alliance of Enlightenment.

Return of THEM
The Vanara joined in the war against Ada and his force with the rest of the UAE attacking from space, though not powerful enough keep up the assault for long, they proved to be a significant thorn in Ada's side. Once they actually started to annoy Ada, he did send the Infectants and Omega Grox to Leviathan in order to deal with the Vanara. However, the Vanara managed to push back the invaders, and with new strength, continued to attack Ada's armies, eventually destroying him with the aid of rest of the UAE.

Mirus
Year One= The Vanara Empire entered the war with a rocky start. A rebel faction called the split from the main empire and attacked a UAE outpost. at first believing that the Vanara had betrayed them, the situation was eventually explained. The Vanara would latter help defend the alliance capital of Matrukoris from a massive Singularity attack.(more soon)

 * Desolation of the Bisistar

Government
The Vanara have a group mind which acts to organize the Empire by manipulating and communicating with certain individuals to enact it's will and giving the empress her power. The Empress is the one with the current power and can structure and run the Empire however she wishes as long as she doesn't abuse her power or prove to be ineffective, as long as she does not no Imperial Vanara can raise a claw to hurt her, if she were to become corrupt and ineffective the group mind would switch loyalty to the individual with the most potential as Empress and the former would losses all her power. When the Empress dies or resigns the group minds loyalty will go to her next of kin. Under her is the Council composed of leaders who are selected to help the Empress more effectively run the Empire. They can either inherit their seat in the council or be selected democratically. Various forms of nobility also hold power though it is sufficiently less. All Vanara have basic rights such as freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the ability to make appeals to the government.

Astrology
For colonies see here For the Worldships see here The Vanara were at one point wanderers of space, living fairly nomadic lives, never settling in one place for to long. However this as changed and they have establish permanent colonies. When selecting a colony Vanara will usually choose seemingly barren or very hostile worlds to inhabit. When establishing a colony the Vanara will first irradiate a large portion of land called a Rad-Zone with which to establish the colony. Vanara colonies are built into the environmental features of the planet itself to make them harder to detect and bombard, they will also create several uninhabited Rad-Zones scattered across the planet to confuse enemies. There are two types of Vanara 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. Vanara are also known for inhabiting heavily defended orbital stations. The main holding of the Vanara are their three massive Worldships Leviathan, Behemoth, and Ziz. 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. The Vanara have colonies in the Milkyway, Mirus, and Cyrannus galaxies.

Culture
The Empire 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 Empire. Military and martial prowess and pride are a huge part of it with every citizen over the age of 13 being given military training and considered part of the reserved forces. The main focus is on balance between loyalty to oneself and the Empire, with very little in the way of extreme conservative or liberal views most being fairly moderate. The architecture and general style is a strange mix of industrial, gothic, and tribal. There is large variety and great appreciation for the arts and in general a very accepting attitude toward differences. Genetic and cybernetic enhancements are very common and available for every citizen who follows the law and works hard to make use of. The most popular sport is motorcycle races and hunting. Both are tremendous affairs with motorcycle races spanning entire worldships(or in the case of the Trinity Grand Prix all three). Hunting is taken very seriously and hunting and killing some dangerous beast is a source of immense pride. The most popular music genres are gothic and industrial.

While many view the Vanara Empire as composed of races of primitive savages. However what few understand is that most of these races started out as wanders who have been tempered by the harsh realities of such a life style and learning only to rely on the necessities. As a result they tend to be very practical and rather opportunistic only making deals, entering conflict, or forging alliances if there is a very clear benefit. As most Imperial species evolved from pack hunters their is a strong pack mentality and sense of naturally occurring hierarchy. There is also a general weariness towards outsiders.

The Empire 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. While opportunistic as mentioned above, a prevailing sense of honor and loyalty makes them very staunch allies to those who gain their loyalty. Unprovoked(or even provoked) on their allies is very likely to causing brutal, ruthless, and bloody retaliation. Also heavy emphasis is place on self control, not letting ones desires and emotions wild, nor denying them, but rather controlling and directing them through dedication to positive goals and hobbies. Self reliance, personal integrity, and hard work are also highly valued believing that one must prove themselves worthy of their place.

Morality also works differently from most others, but in a perhaps more down to earth way. Rather than viewing things based of good and evil, right and wrong, virtue or sin, chaos or order, etc(which is all seen as relative). Rather that which is beneficial to the individual and group as whole is "good", were as that which detrimental is seen as "bad".

Spices
Vanara have a large variety of spices that are their primary export, even more so that radioactive materials, fuel, and weapons. Akanchi= Akanchi which translates to fire breath is an extremely spicy spice that few races can handle. Known for causing other species eyes to water just from being around it, Akanchi is also highly flammable and sometimes pack into flame producing weapons for that extra oomph. Few other races actually consume Akanchi, but many import it to deter pests as most small critter are comply driven off by it's pungent aroma.

Light Akanchi= Similar to Akanchi, Light Akanchi is less spicy none flammable version of the bright red, highly volatile spice. While potent in flavor and has a fair amount of heat it is more tolerable to most other races and fairly sought after.

Mi= Mi meaning ice in Avine, is a icy bluish spice that has calming and cooling effect. Coming in jagged blocks that can be broken down into fine powder it is used for medical purposes as a treatment for burns and mild, non-addictive relaxant. However the relaxing effect does become less pronounced the more one takes Mi.

Rozulain= Rozulain, translated as rose dust, is a green and red spice well known for it's delicious smell and flavor. Used as a food flavor, other races have expanded upon it's use in cosmetics. Rozulain is said to taste different to each person, and never tastes the same way twice.

Venlain= Venlain is a pure white spice who's name translates to colorless dust. While completely flavorless on its own Venlain naturally enhances the flavor of whatever it is mixed with making it fairly sought after.

Melange= Melange is the vary spice the Empire uses as it's currency, but has a wide variety of uses from food flavoring to fuel for vehicles making it highly sought after by other races, but also the one the Vanara import the least of making it very expensive outside the Vanara Empire space.

Imperial Codes
See here The Codes or Kodas in Avine are the rules by which the Empire is run. They dictate how different parts of the Empire are to be run and how different situations should be handled. They are to be followed to letter and to intentionally go against them is a crime to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Language
See here The Vanara do not have a language like most other races. Their language mostly consists of flashes of light created by natural bioluminescence in certain patterns to form the equivalent of words, they use certain sounds to express emotion, and changes of body posture to express intent. The group mind is more for organize and coordinate the Vanara rather then serve as a means of communication. While there is what could be called words, they can be hard to understand because of multiple, not very clear meanings. The Vanara's written language is done in a similar way with colors and patterns used to make words and letters. Most members of the UAE do have genetic enhancements to understand Vanara "language", and some even have the enhancements to produce it themselves. Vanara can also speak other languages, but it tends to come out rather guttural and slurred. Vanara language is known as Avine.

Religion
The Vanara Empire is for the most part accepting of most religions, however they do have a government sanctioned religion as a way of combining the religions of the main races in the Empire and that of their allies. However it is not required that one fallows this religion or any religion at all for that matter, every citizen free to believe as they wish. That being said cults worshiping Darklings or participate in activities detrimental to the Empire's or an individual's growth as well as physical and mental health are banned. Any religion that would be banned however is thoroughly investigated before any action is taken against it.

Technology
For more in depth look see here Most of the technology the Vanarra have was scavenged or stolen from other races. They are experts at genetic engineering and nanotech. One of the best and most feared examples of this is their ability to construct giant, radioactive beasts called Daikaiju which are used for invasion and terraforming. They are also known for their extremely effective cloaking devices and prosthetic limbs. The Vanara mostly use nuclear spin reactors for power, though various forms of biofuel as well. Accel drives are used for propulsion and most weapons are plasma based.

Species
Vanara= The Vanara are the primary race of the Empire a race of radioactive boron based therapsids. They incredibility fast and agile as well as having many adaptation making them well suited for combat. They also all have a natural occurring sadistic side that becomes especially prevalent when in combat and a rather amoral view of the universe. They have three stages of physical form. A feline like first or Advent, dragon like second or Kaiser stage, and finally a humanoid third stage.

Relations
"We prefer to stay neutral, but we help those who help us out, and decapitate those who piss us off."

The Vanara foreign policy is fairly basic, you leave us alone we leave you alone, you scratch our back we scratch yours, you attack us we attack you. For the most part the Vanara maintain neutrality in most conflicts, unless they or their allies are attacked, in which they are quiet ready to go to war, but will usually seek a diplomatic resolution if it presents itself. While allies are allowed to send what ever they want, when ever they want through their territory. Those of friendly or neutral relation must ask for permission and can only send trade goods and supplies through. Those who violate this rule are given a warning and if they do not comply are forcefully driven out or destroyed.

"You should destroy all inferior life forms, yet you chose to ally them and battle against the superior ones."

- Supreme Keizer Krad of the Vanara Singularity

"You are blind to the actions the Ugandalorians cause! You have never seen them in their true colors, only want they want you to see. But don't worry, you'll find out soon enough what true savagery is in war."

- of

"They are a strong race. We are honored to work with them in all fields, from battle to diplomacy."

"Arrogant. Your destiny lies either as slaves to our Clan Cabals, or as conscripted warriors to our service. After your Worldships are ashes in the void, and your empress a mere member of the Overmasters' harem, then you shall learn proper respect."
