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."

- Exarch Zuki upon the creation of United Persan Descendants

"The result is what is important. Use whatever means you may, even if they contradict each other, to achieve that."

- UPD General policy

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. Though not all races in the UPD are descended from the Persacron, those that are not still see themselves as the spiritual successors to their legacy.

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.

Second War of the Mirusian Coalition
While not fighting against the Xonexi Allies, the UPD did take on the Imperium of War during the course of the conflict. Reinforcing their claim on the former Tyranny Territories they had gained from the first Mirusian Coalition War against the Xonexi, they proceeded to launch their campaign against the IoW. Attacking from behind Imperial lines, they at first proved to be highly effective thanks not only to improved ships and technology, but also due to their top of line commanders and an effective strategy, providing a significant threat early on against the numerically superior IoW. However eventually they and the Imperium came to a stalemate due to the arrival of Warmaster Ionius, who was send to deal with the Persan attacks. Ionius proved to be sucessfull, though the Persans did tie up a large number of the War-Imperial, forces giving the Mirusian Coalition some breathing room in their battle against the Xonexi. Eventually however the Persan did break the stalemate at the battle of Sagittarius III, partially in thanks to their own FTL Weapons, and gained a useful strategic position at the Imperium border. However the advantage quickly shifted to the Imperium again after their sudden reveal of high-end Drakodominatus Tyranny hyperspacial superweapons that they had recovered in secrecy. The subsequent use of these weapons crippled the fleets of the Mirusians and their allies, and left the Persan wary of further attacks. The Persans decided to hold back until they had more support, which, as furure events would prove all too soon, all of Mirus would come to need to resist the rising Imperium of War.

Trapped between the advancing Imperium and the retaliating Xonexi Allies, and out of resources, the Mirusian allies of the Persan where forced into diplomatic discussions. The French demanded that the the Mirusians give back the territories they had taken from the Allies, though not much could be given back due to the Imperium of War now holding most Mirusian holdings in ex-Tyranny space. The Xonexi gave their support in the coming war against the Imperium, however any territories retaken in ex-Tyranny space would automatically go to the Xonexi themselves regardless of which faction would conquer them. They refused any attempts to mollify the deal, though the French did attempt to apply their ideal of equitable peace to the situation and establish a form of galactic government called the Covenant of Mirus. The Persan were forced to give up their own gains, but only because they had bigger concerns to deal with. They did feel as though the French had insulted their fallen soldiers by taking land from them without the loss of their own and believed they had made another diplomatic blunder. The Persan gave up their holdings, but drastically reinforced their Xonexi border. However, the Persan, at least outwardly, also began to appear more open in order to gain better access to French technologies, making use of actual diplomatic progess between the French and the Waptoria for their own gains.

Aftermath
"Never trust an enemy, even a former one, who isn't suffering the same wounds you are."

Eventually Zuki was privately contacted by the Barda Clett of the Mendel Pact and Gridlock of the Zarbania powers. Meeting in secret the three leaders discussed the Covenant and their own opposition towards it. In secret the three powers formed the Mirusian Triumvirate, an organisation that was dedicated to opposing the Covenant and creating their own form of galactic government. However the three did agree did to work within the Covenant until the Imperium of War was defeated. Later the Persan caught wind of a diplomatic meeting that had happened between the Mendel and the Eldarisian and that them the Mendel had become more open to Eldarisian diplomacy. Concerned the Zuki contacted the Persan ambassador to the Mendel as well as Barda Clett himself and discovered that the meeting had only furthered the Mendel's will to fight. Apologizing for her reaction and citing that she was merely concerned that the Eldarisian would attempt to manipulate the Mendel via diplomacy, Zuki left the matter at that. However the Persan further reinforced their anti-Eldarisian stance and issued a kill order on any Eldarisian citizen found in their territory, even offering a monetary reward to any citizen who brought in an Eldarisian head.

Further conflict came when Persan intelligence discovered that the Eldarisian had form legions of native Mirusians they had captured and brain washed into joining them. The UPD declared these natives traitors and order their soldiers to eradicate any they encountered, issuing a partial extinction order. Also they began to develop a new project refereed to as Clock Work.

Meanwhile, the Imperium had successfully fortified their borders

The Avalôtur Covenant
After the defeat of the Imperium of War the situation in Mirus began to settle down. Everyone except for the Persan who began gearing up for a full throttle war against the rising threat of the Scelus Purification, only to discover a significant lack of support. Their lobbying for the Covenant of Mirus take an aggressive stance against the Scelus was met with lukewarm reception and quietly slipped under the table. The others were simply tired of the endless warfare while the Persan seemed almost disturbingly gleeful at the idea of blasting their arch-nemesis off the map. In the Persan were left unsatisfied and began to show significant lack of interest in the Covenant. However the announcement of the Avalôtur Covenant between the Kicathian Remnant and the Galactic Empire of Cyrannus left the Covenant of Mirus fearful of Imperialistic ambitions from the two. The Mendel were quick to declare their isolation from the two with the UPD not far behind. However the message was half hearted with the Persan merely wishing to concern themselves with the Scelus and not a fellow member of the Mou'Cyran Accords.

United Gigaquadrantic Alliance
While the Persan began secreatly prepping themselves for conflict against the Scelus with the help of the Waptoria, Mendel and the Zarbanians, diving deeper into their past then they had ever before they were informed that the New Cyrannian Republic had formed of the, as an alliance meant to prevent further disagreements and infighting between the nations of the Gigaquadrant. The UPD quite willingly joined feeling that if anyone could keep peace it would be the Republic. However all was not well, the Persan explorations had revealed that their founders the Vanara had more then one precursor then the Persacron. When the Persan learned of these beings intetions the rushed a horrified message to the Waptoria, Mendel, and Zarbanians. These precursors had created the Vanara's Promen ancestors they had supplanted for one reason... food.

Da Reckoning
"We're fighting idiots, but dangerous idiots... wait was that a pizza they just launched at us? Okay so we're no longer fighting dangerous idiots. No we're fighting dangerous, grade A morons!"

The Scelus Purification's Assault
"We thought the Horde was bad, the Horde was nothing. First they come in the dead of night, slipping past your sight and into the flesh of those around you. Next thing you know you can trust no one. Friend, enemy, sibling, parent, children, lover they all could have become one of them, and they will do anything to make you one of them as well. Then they come from the void sweeping over your planet like a flood from space assimilating all they find worth while and eradicating the rest. Once their done they leave behind nothing more than an empty husk of a world as they move onto another to drain in their always moving conquest."

Return of the Devourers
"Once we thought we were predators, we believed that we were the hunters and not the prey. It's almost funny to think how wrong we were. It doesn't matter who you are Vanara, Ugandal, Raptoranean, Duetzalanian, Dragowar, Scelus it doesn't matter. As far as these... things that created our ancestors are concerned we're all just mewling foodstuffs to them. They will talk to us causally and polity as our friends before they gobble us down cookies."

- Zuki

Nidhoggr's Ascension
"NO! NO! Death has come!! DEATH IS HERE!!!"

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 government has changed a fair bit 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 Exarchs of the Trinity Council, the three most powerful rulers currently composed of Empress Zuki, Terra Prime, and Tarzer.
 * Link

Under the Trinity Council is the Alpha Senate who runs the UPD as a whole, the Beta Senate who runs the UPD in different galaxies, the Gamma Senate which rulers over different prefectures, and finally the Delta Senate which rules over different colonies. The levels of rulership in the senates are Paladins at the highest, then Knights, and then Senators. Knights are selected democratically by the people from those with exemplary backgrounds. Senators serve more of an advisory position and are promoted in by the Knights and Paladins(they are required to pass a back ground check though). Paladins are elected up by their fellow Knights and future fellow Paladins. 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 to a positions of power. As a whole the persan government tends to have broad powers, but interferes little in the day to day lives of their citizens.

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.
 * Link

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 gone through significant change in some areas 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 and improved manufacturing capabilities giving them a larger infrastructure. Of even more note is the Persan AI Network. Virtually every device has some form of learning ability from ones comparable to the simplest of lifeforms that run simple appliances and weapons, to the vast intelligence beyond the abilities of the most complex organic brains that run cities and manage fleets. All are hooked up to vast network in Accel Space processing, storing, and sharing every piece of information they encounter. Every citizen has access to this network on a day to day basis, meaning that as soon as information is known one place the whole UPD can knows it in seconds.

Blade Works
The Persan are very found of the sword and have developed several potent sword arts called Blade Works. There are three of these so called Blade Works, each having it's own style, sword type, and place of origin. Aturem Rakadas, The Serpent's Swift Blade Work= Aturem Rakadas was a the Blade Work developed on tropical, water filled Worldship Leviathen where the Katana was the most prevalent weapon. Originally developed by fishermen, Aturem Rakadas was latter taken up by the military. It makes use of and single long blade with better reach and emphasizing counter-attacks after responding to or avoiding enemy attacks, often inducing the enemy to attack and then counter-striking. Practitioners of Aturem Rakadas are highly disciplined and place emphasis on self control. The symbol of Aturem Rakadas is a long blue, green serpent as Aturem Rakadas is said to attack like the serpent, coiling, waiting, and then striking once the oppent strikes at you letting their guard down.
 * Sword Type - Single Blade, Katana

 * World of Origin - Worldship Leviathan

Ni Sukryt, The Monitor's Savage Blade Work= Hailing from the harsh desert Worldship of Behemoth where the nomads there deployed the Ulfberht as their weapon of choice. The nomads who wandered the desert developed this aggressive blade work to deal with the local aggressive wildlife, but it spread into the cities via trade, a much dirtier version was developed by the natives of the Heap. Ni Sukryt makes use of twin blades instead of a single one, taking advantage of the dual blades to force the opponent into opening themselves up for an attack with one blade and then striking with the other. Those who practice this blade work are highly aggressive with an almost berserk method of fighting. Ni Sukryt's symbol is a large golden monitor lizard as this blade work is said to be based of the fighting style of the great monitor lizards. Aggressively charging forward to force their opponent to open themselves up so they can slash them open.

Erem Arcel, The Raptor's Cunning Blade Work= Coming from the cloud and snow topped mountains of Worldship Ziz where the shepherds who wander the wilderness and monks who dwell in their monetarists choose the Urumi as their preferred weapon. Developed by the monks and shepherds working together for self defense it latter became the preferred blade work of the Vanara Empress's guards and spread from there. Erem Arcel makes use of many of the long wipe like blades of the Urumi to draw and divert the opponents attention with hypnotic movements and striking while their guard is down. The practice of this blade work is one that requires intensive training and has the wielder enter a trance like state. Erem Arcel was inspired by the hunting of the silver bird of prey which is it's symbol. Using it's bright feathers to draw it's prey's attention before slashing it open with it's claws.

Archus Severes, The Dragon's Unlimited Blade Work= An ancient blade work and the first from which all the others sprang from. It was developed on Alastor when the Vanara first evolved battling against the very species they sprang from. It has no prefered number or type of bladed used, rather the goal the Dragon's Unlimited Blade work is to develop a master of all blades no matter the number or kind. Their is also no key strata other then the mastery of all strategies, knowing and utilizing the blade in all the ways it can be wielded in combat. The basic goal of Archus Severes is develop a blade mater who can wield all and any number of blades in all possible ways, in essence a near perfect swordsmen. Only one individual has ever truly mastered this blade work, while other practitioners have only mastered it to a limited extent. As of now all knowledge of Archus Severes has been lost, with only a few obscure texts mentioning it.

Military
"Take their flesh and make it bleed. Take their bones and make them break. Take their minds and rend them apart. Take their will, their hope is lost."

- Persan War Chant

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. Their soldiers are further augmented with genetic and cybernetic upgrades that gives their bodies a form of auto-repair, bones snap back together and wounds regenerate. It allows gives them higher wound and trauma tolerance. 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, cybernetically enhanced replacements for the DaiKaiju called Pejoratives, and individuals artificially given abilities that simulate or act as a counter to essence called Espers.

The UPD is also skilled at cyber warfare and countering it. They have dedicated teams of hackers employed by their military to override enemy systems, mess with communications, and upload harmful viruses. This ability is further compounded by the data manipulation technology and that their scanners can be used to hack.

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.

While created in synthetic organic Norn Computers their conscious is contained in Accel Space and they communicated or control machine bodies by accessing other Computers. They have full rights and can make their own decisions, the UPD however has never had an issue with rouge AI despite having ignored the use of the three laws of robotics. Even if an AI were to go rouge their are plenty of loyal AIs, skill computer scientists, and capable warriors to deal with the threat.

They are of diminutive size, but no one much knows what they look like beyond that since they always cover their bodies completely. Though glowing eyes and pale clawed hands have been reported. They never speak, but will always appear when they are needed. Despite their size they show impressive strength and posses telekinetic powers. The enemies of the Persan often fear them due to their ability to appear from nowhere and their cruel vindictiveness.

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. They tend to come off as rather materialistic to those who deal with them, putting more value on material things, especially land.

The UPD is very particular about what forms of outside influence they allow into their nation, however they are not xenophobes by any means. Rather they have simply learned that a reserved attitude around outsiders until they can determine their nature. To those they trust and are close to there tends to be a fairly decent level of cultural exchange among members. To those they have found untrustworthy and have good reason to consider enemies the Persan are known for their unwavering attitude and stubborn refusal to be swayed.

"We are glad that our alliance has endured with the rise of the United Persan Descendants, which symbolises the dawn of a new age for the scions of the Persacron! Together, and with the other members of the Mou'Cyran Accords, I hope that we can help make the Gigaquadrant a more peaceful place for us all."

- Proconsul

"No matter what form they, their government, or their empire takes, we shall always stand alongside them as allies. For our allegiance to each other shall never change."

"Tradition, honor, power, unity. These are just words, and like all words, mean little. I respect them for their actions. The United Persan Descendants, like their allies, seek to free Mirus from the grasp of the Xonexi Allies and the Eldarisian Empire. They have fought bloody wars against them, and constantly free those oppressed by the invaders. I would be honored to fight alongside them against the Eldarisians, for their destruction of religions, cultures, and empires cannot be forgiven."

- Drakan Thel'Vimicelnes of the Draekar Remnant
