While thousands died during the conflict, the AIs insist calculations show that waging a non-lethal campaign would lead to more deaths due to the inherant fragilities of the human body and that more mindstates would be saved if a harsh stance was taken.

“The Immortal State”

When you have the power to influence the minds of mortal beings, shaping humanity increasingly became the main focus of the Immortal Illuminati. Factions and disagreements arose constantly, the second world war 

When this reached it's apex in the early twenty first century, they took direct control. Resistance was swept away by the political and military forces of the immortals, power they had cultivated. Rebellion, Resistance, was met with total destruction. The Atom Bomb was the tool of choice, delivered with ease from Nuclear Submarines which were not troubled by the light of day.


Population: Rank 3 (5; +1 growth potential)

The Sirius Quadrant was a small part of the Unitary, comprising only several systems.

Transhumanism: Rank 2 (2)

The most common bodyform in the Unitary is a fist sized sphere with AG systems providing lift and a 'holoprojection' system which often displays the traditional bodyform of homo sapians. Using forcefields, these projections can interact with their environment. To primitive folk, one could mistake the average citizen of the Unitary as being capable of telekenisis.

Infrastructure: Rank 2 (2)

There's infrastructure.

Growth Potential: Rank 1 (0 + 1)

The Sirius Quadrant is a fully developed system, exactly tailored for self-sufficiency under the guidance of it's Quadrant AI.

Military Support: Rank 3 (3)

Military support is maintained at a minimum 'safe' level, as the threat of invasion by human eating alien space crabs can never be entirely discounted.

Space Fleet: Rank 2 (2)

The Quadrant only maintained the Enclosure for the Quadrant AI and it's support fleet. Additional Vessels are under construction.

Diplomacy: Rank 0

VAMPIRES?!

Espionage: Rank 3 (4)

I'm watching you

General Advancement: Rank 2 (8)

Unique Technologies: Rank 2 (3 + 1)

Zoom.


Magic: Rank 4 (6)
