User:The Clanden

Overview
Hello there and welcome to my page!

In case you haven't noticed, I'm new to Sporepedia and excited to get into fictions with my currently nomadic nation, the Clanden Admiralty.

Where I want to take the Clanden
Right! So the nation previously mentioned is currently on an exodus from it's planets of origin. Since they haven't made formal contact with anyone yet, they're floating somewhere out in the realm of infinite possibilities (essentially nowhere).

My plan is, roughly, to get them involved in fiction that will eventually force them to settle down and eventually grow into a grounded empire. As they are, their lives are hard, but manageable and self-sustaining. This means that they won't settle down unless something changes:
 * Home One (their flagship and main population center) is crippled, forcing it to crash land on the surface of a planet that they can then settle on. Since it singlehandedly accommodates more than 60% of the Clanden population, it would be hard to take off without it, even with the other forty(ish) ships. This is one of my favorite options, especially if the events leading up to Home One crashing involved a conflict into which the Clanden were dragged.
 * Less exciting but still valid is the scenario where the Clanden Admiralty gets into relations (or trouble) with a local empire, forcing them to stay in one sector longer than they usually do, leading the Clanden to form temporary settlements on the planets. As their stay lengthens, these shabby colonies grow into flourishing settlements. Since they've already made themselves a home in the area, why leave? The Clanden Admiral will have to chose between abandoning half of his species or stay to foster a growing nation.
 * An admiral comes to the helm with a completely different approach to leading the Admiralty, and eventually settles them down on T3 planets.
 * Alternatively, an able but paranoid admiral could come to power. Over time, his paranoia would intensify, leading him to pursue erroneous traitors and spies. Eventually, conditions would grow so poor for the Clanden people that they would rise up and overthrow him, and damage Home One in the process. They would then be forced to colonise the nearest planet while awaiting repairs.
 * Clamor for reform, the worsening condition of his fleet, and desertion push the Admiral to settle on the nearest (preferably T3) planet he can find. After all, you can only live on the brink (and in space) for so long. This is by far my least favorite option, and would serve as a last resort. Honestly, it's not very realistic or exciting.

After (and if) any of these have happened, the Clanden nation (it's government type being influenced by the conditions in which it arose) would eventually grow into a persistent presence in the surrounding area.

If you have any suggestions as to where I should take my species, or would like to harbor them, feel free to send a message my way!
