Overmind Grisha Xenthyous
View attachment 357495
Species: The Svell

Age: 83

Home Province: The Citadel, a massive space station roughly teh size of a planet which stays on the very brink of the Centuri system where her people originated.
​

Character Bio: Born of the blood of the previous grand Overmind, Grisha was trained from birth to be ready if and when her father was not able to contyinue his duties. As such, she spent much of her early life being filled with knowledge and information, even more so than most Svellian children. She was taught everything from biology to political sciences, and was practically destined to become a major hand in the Citadel's workings if her father managed to continue in good health. She was barely out of her adolescence before she was allowed to aid the Citadel's top researchers in their studies. She crafted her first Bio-Engineered Qox at the tender age of 17, though it was not much in comparison to her later works. It took only six more tries before she crafted Krosh, who would become one of the greatest warriors their people ever knew.

Now with a true claim to her own aptitude, Grisha found herself enthralled in even more of the Citadel's workings. As the years went by and she continued growing, she even took parts in the many meetings her father held once she entered her thirties. Decades Later, Krosh would join her after becoming a recognized general.

It was during the many conflicts her father got their Empire involved in that she began voicing disagreements she'd held over his treatment of lesser races they'd endangered and abused on their quest for knowledge, and was the key point in convincing General Krosh that her Father could no longer be trusted leading them. Due to their betrayal of the previous Overmind, his enemies were able to attack the Citadel directly and end his reign.

Now taking up the mantle, Grisha is determined not to make the same mistakes her father did. Though she still finds others distasteful as most of her species and their creations do, she recognizes that open conflict with all they came across would interfere with their work and possibly even destroy them. She runs the Citadel thoroughly and effectively, but still focuses on that final goal that all who serve under her believe in as well.

The Qoxvell Coalition

Species:
The Qoxvell coalition is actually made up primarily of two species, a race of technological telepaths known as the Svell and a massive number of their bio-engineered creations which they refer to as the Qox.

The Svell
View attachment 357496
The Svell are extremely tiny, able to fit in the palm of most creatures, and are generally considered far too adorable for the cold and passive nature they have. Svell have a distinct inability to sympathize with others, as their minds tend to wander to the benefits of logic and reasoning over matters of emotions, and are therefore known for their blunt and calculative tones. They have telepathic abilities which they often use this ability to sense negative thoughts or untruthfulness, and one may tell when they are doing this due to the bright light their eyes emit when they use these techniques. Many have suggested these abilities come from their extreme brain power, as the Svell are renown for their extensive knowledge of the sciences. The creatures are known for crafting complicated systems of technology and robotics which now cover their home plant of Yuria and can be noted in the awe-inspiring architecture of their buildings and ships. Much of their tech can be telepathically linked directly to the psychic little creatures, including the humanoid suits they tend to pilot when travelling.

The Svell are hardly ever seen as the tiny furballs they are, instead they occupy humanoid mechs like these. As such, early beliefs were that the Svell were really a faction of humans who had become obsessed with technological advancement.

Many were shocked when the first Svell began revealing what they actually looked like inside the oddly shaped helmets of their suits.
But their tiny frames would not be enough to make people forget about the terrors they'd committed.

The Qox
View attachment 357190
The Qox are the pride and joy of the Svell, mutated bipedal organisms who were designed in early years by the tiny creatures on their path to technological advancement. Many Qox are assembled from the genetic materials of various other species, giving many of their bodies bulbous or sometimes lopsided frames. Despite their somewhat exaggerated appearances, the Qox are quite dangerous in many ways. Having devoted themselves to serving and fighting for their creators while they refine and perfect their genetic make up, the Qox have persisted through conflict after conflict. They strive for self improvement, allowing their creators to alter and change their bodies at will as long as they end up getting stronger. Having lived with the ideas of the Svell for so long, the Qox have become convinced that through rapid alterations they will eventually become ultimate beings.
View attachment 357492
Despite their often unsettling visages, the Qox are unparalleled when it comes to loyalty and devotion. Their previous actions in the battles they've been a part of have proven that their are many lines they have no problem crossing for their masters, as they've committed a number of grand atrocities during the previous Overmind's reign. For this they're regarded with somewhat more general contempt than their creators, as their masks are often what comes to mind when thinking of the previous Overmind's crimes.​

Population: Though the number of Svell rests at a very humble number of several billion, there are several trillion Qox serving the Coalition; the number can be grown exponentially in times of war.

Government: The Qoxvell Coalition runs by a surprisingly simple Meritocracy, where individuals simply serve where they are most useful. Svell that are better at creating vehicles create vehicles, and Qox who excel beyond their peers in the art of War become Commanders and Generals. Those who are better at commanding others eventually find their ways into managing jobs or positions of power through way of capability. The Overmind sits at the top by way of sheer mental capability, as only the smartest could consistently mediate between the millions of intellects who make up the Coalition's political party.

Planet of Origin: Yuria of the Centuri System

Capital: The Citadel, a massive space station kept in orbit on the fringes of their home galaxy. A mix raw defensive capabilities, impressive architecture, and the ability to move should their home galaxy ever be taken.

Culture:
The Coalition is a very goal oriented society, what with being dedicated to the advancement of their technology and the eventual formation of the ultimate being. There society is made up of massive groups formed through mutual interest, those who find more interest in the sciences of biology work on biology while those who focus improving every day life work on the living standard. These groups are known as Departments, and there are quite literally hundreds of them. The government running the Coalition is basically the most influential one of these Departments, as they use the workings of all the others to further their goals.

The Coalition finds no need for things like religion and the like, as they find contention with self-advancement more than anything else. Although if one were looking in from the outside, they could easily compare the Coalition's sheer devotion to creating the ultimate being with a religious fanaticism of sorts. The calm-toned Svell, however, would never agree to such an assertion.

The ruler of the entire coalition has historically been the Overmind, who was originally placed in that position on account of exceptional logic and reasoning even when compared to their own. They are required to make decisions based on the ceaseless debating and commenting the many hundreds of Svell politicians issue forth on a near daily basis. Only one of near-legenmary mental capability could possibly sort and interpret the thoughts and ideas of so many scholar-like intellects in order to come to a decision, and that's where the Overmind comes into play. The first Overmind was put into power for ending conflicts between his own people back in their medieval era, but the Overmind of today is known greatly for ending the war her predecessor's actions had dragged them into.


Civilization History:
The Svell were always a knowledgeable race, after becoming the Apex predator of their home planet through use of their tools and equipment they took their knowledgeable ventures to space. Where it took many civilizations ages to find other life, for the rapidly growing technology of the Svell, it took only two years worth of research and development.

Having catalogued many nearby planets for the resources they could obtain, the Svell were initially surprised when one of the planets they came across showed signs of life. Not only that, the species they'd discovered was only in its medieval stages of technology and were currently indulging in wars with one another.

Now the Svell knew war, despite their intelligence there was still a great sense of ambition within their people. Several wars had been started and ended in their past due to someone trying to gain knowledge before another, but this was the first time they'd seen war that seemed so....pointless. These creatures were fighting for stolen princesses or religions and other petty influences, and it seemed so utterly ridiculous to the tiny race of psychics.

The Overmind of the time did find the resources of the planet interesting, and decided those inhabiting it would be a threat if allowed to spread their ignorance past their homeworld. With those two influences a number of his supporters sought solutions to ridding the planet of its inhabitants while providing minimum damage to the resources they wished to take from it.

A number of ideas were proposed, large numbers of toxins were proposed, the first models of combative suits which would later become the humanoid mechs were designed, but it was the creation of the first Qox that would be the ultimate solution for them. The first Qox in history was created as little more than a research monkey, a testing dummy which the Svell strapped up and sent to their interstellar neighbors with texts decrying some form of common ground be found. The Svell's early theories proved true, however, as they watched the Qox be captured and killed near instantly while the primitive race began spinning tales of the demon from the sky.

So the tiny creatures went on to create an army of Qox and used them to exterminate the alien race with utmost efficiency. Those of the race that were captured had their genetic makeups stolen before being executed, as the Overmind did find benefit in some of their physical make ups.

This would be the terrible trend the Svell found themselves stuck in for the next few centuries due to their leader's actions, they'd continue slowly expanding their dominion, run into a new species which the Overmind would deem unworthy of being allowed to live. Then they'd send their increasingly powerful Qox to exterminate them while simultaneously harvesting what DNA structures they found admirable and using in each new set of bio-engineered creations. The Svell grew extremely proud of their creations, seeing how much promise was found in tampering with the creation of life. They soon became devoted to a more all-encompassing goal which would put even their own technical know-how to the test: creating the ultimate life forms. They would slowly but surely improve the Qox over time until they could take credit for creating the most powerful beings in the universe. The Qox became more and more infatuated with the ideals of their creators. And as they grew more powerful and strong with each new species added to their genetic make up, they too became invested in the growing idea of perfection.

They served the Svell not as servants or children, but as partners after that. With the Svell focusing on expanding their reach to garner more resources and information from the vast expanse of space, the Qox acted as their brutal defenders and executioners. As more and more races found their ends at this growing threat, the coalition became less and less concerned with threats posed by others. Even after coming into contact with some races who had advanced to space travel in a similar manner, the Coalition found its own power still outpaced them to a grand degree. The Overmind focused more and more on erasing what hesaw as inferior beings from the universe, and took pride in knowing he was erasing stupidty itself by destroying those who would let it grow.

However, he bit off far more than he could chew.

As their dominium grew larger the number of races they encountered grew. Though the Overmind found no issues with these initially, he found that their constant destruction of others had made their appearance known far and wide among the other races. With their own ways of life threatened by the methodical workings of the Coalition, these races retaliated all at once.

At first they had the advantage, the Qox were all hardened warriors and as long as the Svell could continue producing more of them then it would be a war of attrition which nobody could hope to beat them at. Their opponents new this as well, and targeted their stations specifically seeking to halt the seemingly endless wave of Qox. Despite many losses, enough of these dangerous plans were successful enough to finally annoy the Overmind. Now with them actually losing ground, the Overmind enacted a decree which would actively lead to his downfall.

The Svell were ordered to churn out Qox faster, it mattered not if the rushed products were less effective as long at they could continue eternally contesting the enemy. Though less powerful then their elders, these rushed Qox managed once more to halt the approach of their enemies. However, the Overmind had already lost.

By ordering the purposeful production of inferior Qox, the Overmind had insulted a great many of his supporters by actively working against a goal many of them had been working towards for generations. One of these was his daughter, who had long since found the merciless extinction of those they'd encountered in the past unnecessary. With the help of General Krosh, she allowed a massive number of enemy ships direct entry into the seemingly impenetrable Citadel, where a final battle took place. Despite the Overmind's forces retaliating with haste and fury, he was eventually dethroned that day.

It was over almost immediately after that, the planets being contested were abandoned by the Qox and it seemed as though the coalition withdrew from the fight entirely. Entire Armadas and blockades abandoned the planets or battles they were partaking in, conquered stations and planets were abandoned by the brutish soldiers and the Coalition went silent for some time.

They didn't stay that way.

It was soon revealed that the fallen Overmind's daughter had taken the position he'd left, and was now openly seeking a ceasefire. The Coalition had accepted her rise with minimal fanfare or outcry, as the Svell had grown tired of the drain of war and the Qox had been insulted by her father's actions. The main detractors had been those of her father's court who had also followed his concepts of purging the lesser minded, most of which had been turned over to the races they'd fought against to be punished for their crimes during the war.

As it stands now, the Qoxvell Coalition is keeping its distance from most space-faring cultures, most interaction being done by the New Overmind as she tries to mend the many bridges destroyed by her father and his actions. As it stands now there's hardly a being in the current space faring universes who doesn't have a reason to despise the Coaolition, but Overmind Grisha has taken steps to fix the strained situation her predecessor has left them in.

Personnel:
The Department of Military Action, when last checked at least, has a personnel count resting in the trillions.

Motto(s):
"Ensuring Advancement through Action"​

• Early Sovereign Colonies ERA - The Sovereign Colonies has a very vast history. It was the first Federation which ruled for over one million years. It is estimated to have been created somewhere between 2,000, 000 to 3,000,000 years before 1 GST. The Sovereign Colonies was the result of a coalition of every existing Nation of Seraine during the Centrion/Bivarian war. The Sovereign Colonies was created exactly two years into the war when the Centrions had lost an estimated 6-8 billion lives. The Nations of the Centrion race knew that the only way to stand a chance against the far better equipped Holy Bivarian Empire. Since the creation, the Centrion race had managed to defeat the Bivarians after 24 more years of heavy conflict. By the end of the war, the Sovereign Colonies's population had greatly reduced. More than half of the Centrion race was killed off. And the military strength was at 15%. The Sovereign Colonies, successful in their success militarily, had merged the 45 galaxies under Bivarian control under Sovereign Colonies control. Thankfully, most worlds on each galaxy had been industrialized, but the long and costly process of both repairing the Centrion home-galaxy and completely re-building every world to suit Centrion life had begun. This usured in the start of the first golden age which lasted over 100,000 years. This golden age saw the Sovereign Colonies technological industry to sky rocket as well as their military industry.
  
• Late/Post Sovereign Colonies ERA - By the Late era of the Sovereign Colonies rule, the Government, especially the president at that time, President Roonaik Malar was concerned about attempted insurgencies, and galaxies trying to claim independence. This convinced the government to re-structure it's political system so that it can run efficiently and smoothly. By now, the Golden age had stopped and people wee enjoying the post-prosperous times. Several years before the End of the Sovereign Colonies, the people had begun to feel the shock wave of political unrest. And finally, three years later, the Sovereign Colonies, who had ruled for nearly a million years, announced to the public of it's disbandment. And a new government was put in place. This new government the UNS successful re-instated the Federation and successfully ended all Sovereign Colonies rule across every galaxy.

• Early/Mid UNS ERA- Not much could be said about the UNS. For they became were controlling. As they began to restrict rights, and started setting up military police forces. The people suffered greatly as their income decreased drastically. No matter what, any signs of anti-government were brutally crushed and eliminated by the Military forces. The only good that the UNS had done was take control of numerous "territories" under UNS protection. As well as investing tons of money into the military to ensure that the army is in top-notch and can not be easily defeated.
  
• Post UNS ERA/UNS-UGF Intergalactic civil war - Five years before the UNS rule had ended, the people of the UNS had rallied together to fight against the UNS government. This was done thorugh careful planning for decades. The man who was the achitect of this rebellion was a man by the name of Scotty Faris, soon to be the first president of the UGF. He had rallied the people behind his rebel organization the United Galactic Federation. UGF. And soon had the people's support. By the time thamost of the population was willing to support a coup against the UNS, the UGF struck first. They first attacked a military base on Planet Exis. This quickly caught the people's attention as the people began to take up arms and began to fight their military government. The UNS for the first year and a half had won most battles since they were far better equipped. But, the UGF soon raided multiple military factories, and bases allowing them to gain access to tons of vehicles, fighters, and equipment. The civil war lasted for five years and claimed the lives of over 9.1 billion Centrions.
  
• Current UGF ERA - The current ruling body is the UGF. It has been over 400,000 years since the UGF had taken power from the Civil war. When the UGF first came into power, the UGF immediately, gave freedom again to the people and created tons of jobs. This brought the second golden age, which is still continuing to this day. The UGF's military industry and technology levels skyrocketed once again. This as well as medical and other industrial sectors skyrocketed. The UGF has brought tons of prosperity for it's people as the government has unanimous support of the people. The UGF had become a respectable superpower through all the advancements by the Sovereign Colonies, UNS, and by the current UGF government. They are an emprie that is far more superior than the other races both militarily and economically. But, the UGF has a very strict neutral policy which prevents them from intervening and upholding the laws of the universe. But, the UGF people are enjoying of time in which their empire's military strength is superior to the other races as well as a time of prosperity. But, there are also people within the government who wants the UGF to chae from a neutral state to an empire that will enforce the laws and it's will against other empires with military force and might. They are rich in resources and are willing to give and share the abundant natural resources with it's allies.
  
• Bloody New Years war: The bloody new years war was the result of a misfired nuclear missile during a live HAA military drill as a show of force towards the UGF during a time of heightened tensions between the two factions. The nuclear missile hit a colony killing 2.8 million innocent lives, which utterly shattered any hope of peace in the centrion race as they immediately declared war. And at 3:00 A.M GST, the UGF launched a three phased assault. The first was an all out nuclear assault on all outer sects of HAA territories, and then, the use of new revolutionary jamming spires which neutralized and prevented the HAA from striking back or ever building nuclear weapons and super weapons. The final stage was that the invasion forces were to launch a coordinated assault on all outer worlds within the UGF's reach. The war lasted for 15 years before the HAA had agreed to surrender unconditionally as the peace talks began between the two sides. Victorious, the UGF began to withdraw with several contingents of forces staying behind until all peace talks have been finished.
  
• Current time: Now, the UGF lays dorment, and has mostly withdrawn from the current state of the universe, not really wanting to be active in the current affairs of the universe, nor the council, which they have repeatedly denied invitations to join.
