Fiction:The Grand Orzakin Empire

The Orzakin Empire are a moderate sized empire that focuses on Honor, but will also laugh freely. The Orzakin are good allies, but beware of them as enemies, they could be your demise. Or not!

Early Days
In the Early Days of the Orzakin Empire, Orzakins Began to Form Into Small Bands that Lived in Caves. Soon, these tribes formed into cities, and began writing down their history. When the Orzakins discovered metallurgy, they began to make swords and huge monuments to Spode, who they worshipped. Things were generally going well, for now.

The Religious Wars
Some cities began worshipping "The God That Will Come." This Angered the Followers of Spode, who declared war on the Followers of The God That Will Come. Thus began a long series of eighteen wars fought in the name of each sides God. In the End, both sides destroyed each other and a new religion rose, called Pariathism, which is still the Dominant Religion.

The Founding of the Empire
The Religious Wars left many Orzakin Civilizations in Disarray, and soon, a famine struck worldwide. Many Orzakins died, but things got better. Sadly, as soon as things got better, things got worse. Gunpowder was discovered. Quickly, Swords and Spears were replaced by Guns, Cannons, and Bombs. Many Civilizations began warring with this new weapon, for they believed the other kingdoms did not have it. They did. Another massive world war began, but this time, it killed many more. All scientists were being put to work on creating better guns, which they did. Orzakins were being killed faster and faster. The Orzakin Empire might have been destroyed here if it wasn't for Sir Balten W. Figgin. He Proposed the Idea of a unified Empire to King Orcus I, the king of the Arish Empire, one of the most powerful nations on the planet. He Succeeded in Unifying most of the Empires on the Planet. The Orzakin Empire was born.

The Discovery of Nuclear Weapons
A period of rapid technological advancement began. Soon, The Orzakins discovered that you could release an explosion by splitting an atom. This Information was used to create Nuclear Weapons. A group of rebels, unhappy with the Empire, stole multiple nuclear weapons and fired them at the capitol, Dublouse. Dublouse was completely obliterated. The Rebels were defeated, and Lonsa became the new capitol.

The Space Age
About 40 Years after the destruction of Dublouse, a Flafaana, a common Orzakin Pet, was sent into orbit. Soon After, an Orzakin was. Within Eight Years, and Orzakin had been sent to each of Orzia 42's Seven Moons. Within 30 Years, an Orzakin had landed on another planet, and within 230 Years, FTL travel was invented. This opened up a new world to the Orzakins, and they were welcomed the the galaxy by alien races who had been watching them. The Orzakin Empire Started to Forge alliances.

Government
The Orzakin Government has three parts, A Prime Minister, Who is elected. A 100 member Parliament, that has 60 People Elected, 20 Appointed By the Prime Minister, and 10 Appointed by the King, and a King or Queen, who is decided by heirdom. If there is no heir, the new King/Queen will be elected as well. The Prime Minister has the power to Approve or Veto laws proposed by the Parliament. Each Elected Member of the Parliament has a 6 year term, while each appointed member has a 2 year term. The Parliament can propose laws to the prime Minister with a Majority Rules Vote. If the Prime Minister Vetoes the Law, and 60 or more parliament members approved it, the King has a chance to Approve or Veto the Law. Every Year, the Parliament has a chance to put a Vote of No Confidence on the Prime Minister, if they have 60 or more parliament members supporting it. If there is a successful Vote of No Confidence, there will be a public election for the new Prime Minister. Every 8 years, there will be a public election on the Prime Minister, bypassing the Parliament. The Prime Minister can have an unlimited number of terms, as long as he continually wins elections. The High General, who is technically not a government official, controls the military. He or she has a 20 year term and is chosen with the same process as is used in lawmaking.

Military
The Orzakin Empire has 33 Billion Soldiers in it's Military, and, in a state of emergency, can conscript able-bodied Orzakins into a sort of home-guard, who defend Orzakin Systems, but cannot be sent on an invasion without the conscripted soldiers consent.

Army
Each Soldier in the Army is equipped with a standard-issue BRCA-13 Plasma Rifle, a ALFA pulse pistol, an Electrified Heavy-Duty Combat Knife, and six homing-grenades. All Soldiers in the Orzakin Army wear bio-suits which increase strength and can take a few plasma blasts. The Army also controls Tanks and Artillery. The Orzakin Empire has many different tanks, but the most common are the Heavily Armored Goliath Tank, which can take a severe beating, and can also dole one out, but isn't exactly agile, the Medium-Armored Raven Tank, which can move at a decent pace, and take, as well as dole out, considerable damage, and the all-terrain Kappa Tank which is a light, fast tank that is meant to go through any environment, and can even stay underwater for up to 6 hours. As Artillery goes, the Orzakin's are not in short supply. They Mainly Use the Massive G6L6 Heavy Pounder, which can fire a powerful shell over a long distance, and the smaller 86G2, which can be carried by one soldier if they have a bio-suit on, and can fire grenades up to a 3/4 a mile.

Navy
The Orzakin Navy has some powerful spacecraft, but is about average an navies go. They do, however have a superweapon that absorbs the sunlight coming to a planet, as well as jam communications. This makes it so that a planet would have temporary endless night, causing some extreme cold, and wouldn't be able to call for help. The Orzakin Navy Mainly uses light, hit-and-run ships, but does have some large battlecruisers.

Biology
An Orzakin is an orange creature with Four Eyes. This Gives them excellent vision, as well as allowing them to see in the dark. They Stand about 6 to 6 1/2 feet tall, and also have wings. These Wings allow Orzakins Limited Flight, but they are not truly made for flying. Orzakins can fly about 5 Vertically and 15 Feet Horizontally. Orzakin's Have Superb Immune Systems, and almost never get diseases, as a result of living on the world of Orzia 42, which has many plagues. It is advised for non natives to wear some sort of disease protection when visiting. An also has a tiny, second heart. They can live without this one, but not without their main one. This allows Orzakins to have a lot of stamina and endurance. Orzakins also have a tail, which keeps them on balance when running. Overall, Orzakins are fairly good Physical Specimens.
