Can't wait for the real competition to start and to see the results, even if it is very likely going to take some time after closing this thread

I really read everything already, and due to that I can support that it's quite a lot to read

But there's a lot of great stuff in here so it should be worth the time

oh damn, i was planning on making a suggestion today but I guess i won't make it in time, well no can do.

Oops, it seems I don't have much time before the competition closes, so I'll have to make it brief. If you'll have additional questions, feel free to ask them.





Name: Coalition of Independent Planets (C.I.P.)



Race: Humans - splinter group of the United Empire



Homeworld type: Ocean



Alignment: Good







About the faction:



The faction is mainly composed of people originally from the United Empire, who, for various reasons, decided that they don't necessary agree with the Empire's current policies, be it expansionism, little regard for individual lives of its citizens, or regarding the galaxy as one large dust mine. Because, even though they parted ways with the Empire in peace, the Empire wouldn't take kindly to them settling a world in the Empire's own territory, they were forced to look for another homeworld beyond the known space. Eventually, they found it in a lush ocean world and after some effort, the first colony was set up.



However, the colony was located on the edge of Sophon space, a factor unknown to the colonists at the time. The a group of Sophons very soon discovered that the planet, originally not inhabited, is freshly colonized and seeing that the colonists possess a similar drive to explore and to understand the world, they decided to make contact with this new civilization. The first contact was relatively smooth (if any first contact can be called smooth), largely due to the colonists being already aware of some of the other factions' existence (United Empire already had it's first contact with other spacefaring civilization some years before). The Sophon group, after some debating, decided that they'll gift some of their technology to the colonists to help them in obtaining resources from the planet and to aid them in colonizing additional planets.





Graphic:

The Sophon technology is the reason for the shape of Coalition's ships - they don't have angles like the Empire's vessels, instead they have more curves. The color, however, is more black and orange, instead of blue and white (similar to SoaSE's Vorastra titan). The shape of ships tends to have a sleak design of a stealth bomber.

Competition is now over. Thanks everyone!
