Official Name: The Reich
Demonym: Citizen
Government Type: Fascism
Leader: The Fuhrer
Galaxy: Large Magellanic Cloud
Territory: from the edge of the galaxy that is closest to the Milky Way, to the the inner region of the galaxy.
Number of systems: 5 Million
Influence Rank: 4
Capital World: Eden, an Earth like world that was among the first to be discovered by the human colonists who would later create the Reich. Now, it is very Urban and Industrialized, and houses the main government of the Reich, and the HQ of both the Whermacht and the Kriegsmarine. In orbit, it has many defensive station and shipyards that are armed, which, combined with the defensive fleet, creates a formidable defense of the capital.
Population: 150 Trillion, most are human.
Tech Rank: 8.1
FTL Travel: The Reich uses a sophisticated form of warp travel, due to Warp not being reliant upon lanes of travel which can be easily blocked, allowing for greater mobility for fleet commanders. However, warp is much slower than Hyperspace, so in order to counter-act this, the Reich has devoted much research to the improvement of Warp Technology and the speed of warp vessels. The Reich has also mapped out the Hyperspace lanes in its region to gain a tactical edge over any invading force that may use hyperspace. For intergalactic voyages, the Reich relies on wormholes.
Technological Development focus: Military and Industry
Exceptional Tech:
Kriegmaschine: An extremely advanced robotic infantry unit, capable of any function that a standard soldier can perform. Standing at 5'10, the Kriegmaschine is a common sight among Whermacht forces. The head of a kriegmaschine is an angular camera, with metal plates to protect the optics system, however the CPU is not stored in the head, but in the heavily armored chest (which can be given additional modular armor to match the mission parameters). All of its joints are capable of a complete 360 swivel, increasing the joint's resistance to damage and the overall dexterity of the drone. Drones operate together in fireteam sized groups, which can all receive orders from the BattleNet deployed from command vehicles. Kriegmaschines are capable of creating their own tactics to defeat their opponents, and unlike human soldiers, do not stop because of damage. For example, a legless Kriegsmaschine will crawl to its enemies and keep trying to kill them until the CPU is destroyed. When one Kriegmaschine's optics are damaged, the other three members of its fireteam will direct their optic's feed to the Kriegmaschine that can not use its optics, allowing it to still be capable of fighting.
Culture: Overall, the Reich has a Very Conservative cultural, with the norm being a family unit with a mother, father and many children. The Government promotes high birth rates. The Military is regarded highly within the Reich, and hardworkers greatly admired. In terms of personal gain, people are entitled to what the earn, however jobs that serve the public interest are more highly regarded. Communism is widely considered a failed philosophy, and democracy is considered to be not strong enough to fully defend its people. Music itself is similar to how it was in the first half of the 20th century.
Government: The Absolute head of the State is the Fuhrer, however there is a legislative body whos primary responsibility is to create laws. On rare occasions, when the Fuhrer strongly disagrees with a law being enacted, the Fuhrer will intervene and either adjust it or completely veto it. The Fuhrer also appoints advisors to help them run the Government, except for one, an A.I. who has been an advisor since the founding of the Reich. For every Furher, this A.I. has been the most trusted and influential advisor, and some (behind closed doors and away from government ears) say that the A.I. is who truly holds power within the Reich. Almost every suggestion the A.I. makes is followed, it holds power over the Supreme commanders of both the Whermacht and Kriegsmarine, and typically, Fuhrers who do not listen to them have much shorter reigns. They even play a part in the appointment of a new Fuhrer when the previous one steps down or dies.
Military: The Reich's Military is divided into two main branches, the Kriegsmarine, which is responsible for the naval operations of the Reich and Marine Operations, and the Whermacht, which is the army of the Reich.
The Kriegsmarine typically favors tactics over brute strength, utilizing capable support ships, interdictors and carriers. That being said, the Kriegsmarine does operate some formidable battleships, dreadnoughts and super-dreadnoughts, such as the Bismarck Class. Marine forces are similar to the Shocktroopers of the Whermact, who use quick deployment and aggressive tactics to overwhelm any weak points and pave the way for standard units. Fighters and Bombers are considered extremely important to the Kriegsmarine, and much time is devoted to the training of capable pilots. Fighters of the Reich are jacks of all trades, being agile and heavily armed, yet also quite resilient. They are also capable of fast precision ground attack. However, these fighters are quite pricey, and are a good example of the the Reich's philosophy of quality over quantity. Bombers rely on speed to get to their targets quickly and deliver their payload, and then quickly escape.
The Whermacht handles most ground operations of the Reich. Whermacht doctrine is based upon mobile warfare, and striking where the enemy is weakest or where it will hurt the enemy the most. Instead of simply trying to take a fortress, the Whermacht will bypass it completely, cut off supply routes to it and let its defenders either starve or surrender. When assaults do take place, Shocktroopers are always the spearhead of such an assault.
History: The Reich was originally a small, weak confederacy of independent human colonies in the Large Magellanic Cloud, with the strongest of these colonies being the colony of Eden. At somepoint, the colony of Eden had a shift from a democracy to military dictatorship headed by the A.I. and Human Generals. Eden began a campaign to exterminate the pirates and slavers that had been plaguing the Colonies for many years. This act rallied many of the colonies to Eden's cause, which set out to bring the rest of the colonies under its rule. This ignited a short but bloody civil war that ended with the Creation of the Reich. The Reich expanded like a tumor in the Magellanic cloud, and was unchecked by any major power in the irregular galaxy, allowing it to grow into a colossal nation.
Goals: Bring Law and Order to as many worlds as possible, promote civilization, dominate the Large Magellanic cloud and influence affairs in the other four galaxies
