Name as Translated: The Union State of the Four Stars
Untranslated Name: Nenpanoliz-altuxl Kikialtignahwi
Government: The current government is composed of a tricameral legislative/judiciary, and a twin system of executive and military running parallel to each other.
Economy: A strong, varied economy, relying on manufacturing and agriculture. All systems utilize a two-world system if they can manage, wherein the more ecologically sound worlds act as agricultural centers (as well as centers for tourism and limited resource extraction), while more harsh worlds are used to house larger populations. A great deal of agriculture is devoted toward raising large animals to feed the Kipaktli, who are obligate carnivores. The Moxli also eat a great deal of meat, but also eat nuts, fruits, and vegetables, as well as insects. Great factories and retail centers exist on planets meant primarily for population.
Species: Entirely Moxli and Kipaktli. The Moxli are a species of oviraptor, averaging about the size of an emu, with slightly larger legs, 3 fingered hands, and a small tail. The Kipaktli are large allosaurs, approximately 30 feet/9 meters long, and a ton in weight. They also have 3 fingered hands.
Religion: There are several dozen, but only a few major religions. Among the Kipaktli, a combination of ancestor worship and henotheism based on a god of war and the hunt (Imakwa) is dominant, while several other religions flourish as minority religions, often based on other gods within the same pantheon that Imakwa belongs to. The Moxli have many different religions with none being dominant in particular.
Languages: Itlat is the dominant tongue, originally being Kipaktli. Several other languages are present, but Itlat is a lingua franca among the NenAltKik.
Currency: The Omio. Originally out of necessity, larger pieces of currency arose so that the Kipaktli could use them effectively. These were originally femurs from animals approximately the size of Moxli. The name for these were 'omio' and they had to be specially inscribed and colored to be recognized as currency. This name, 'omio' has continued, while the actual material for physical currency has become an aluminum tablet (13 inches long, 1.2 inches wide, 1/8th of an inch thick) for all major denominations of omio.
Technology: While the Moxli are capable of delicacy, the Kipaktli have a rather more difficult time of it, just due to their immense strength; as a result, most technology is extremely resilient and capable of handling a great deal of stress without breaking (or ceasing to function if something does happen to break on the exterior). Kipaktli-sized technology is not only resilient, but usually nearly unusable for something not the size of Kipakt, not only due to the different scaling for size, but due to the greater strength required to manipulate the technology (for instance, even just pressing buttons requires a great deal of strength on the behalf of a human or Moxli).
22 Points
Note on Populations: I'm counting the Kipaktli as counting as .4 billion for every 1 billion of population, because they are extremely large.
Total Population: 140 billion Moxli, 42 billion Kipaktli
Total GDP: 47,000
1 Home Sector – Xostontu (Yellow Sun)
Population: 40 billion Moxli (singular: Moxi), 8 billion Kipaktli (singular: Kipakt)
GDP: 14,000
The Xostontu System contains the home planet of Tlali, Tlali's moon Metz (terraformed), the red planet of Ezhwaxi (terraformed), and the terraformed moons of the various gas giants in the system. The system also has extensive mining in its asteroid belt and upon the less inhabitable worlds near Xostontu.
2 Core Sectors - Kwapitztikekat (Harsh Winds)
Population: 35 Billion Moxli, 6 Billion Kipaktli
Warp Gate
GDP: 11,000
Cost: 6 Points
The Kwapitztikekat system is so named because of its unusual natural features that make plotting hyperspace routes nearly impossible and that 'blow' ships off course, like unusually harsh winds. Thus, only the existence of its warp gate allows for incoming and outgoing ships to make it there safely and not end up within the heart of the greenish star Ahmo-Noxtli (“Unripe Fruit”). The discovery of the warp gate in the Xostontu system immediately led to the warping into the Kwapitztikekat system and allowed for the system to be colonized as much as it is.
Texoti (The Blue One)
Population: 30 Billion Moxli, 14 Billion Kipaktli
Hyperspace Junction
GDP: 12,000
Cost: 8 Points
Texoti system is dominated by its namesake star, Texoti, a star that has relatively recently gone into the blue giant phase, allowing for the NenAltKik to utilize this system for tens/hundreds of millions of years. The planets and habitable moons in the system are larger than most in other systems and harsher in climate, making the system more friendly to Kipaktli than to Moxli, leading to an abundance of Kipaktli, especially in relation to the other systems of the NenAltKik. The presence of a hyperspace junction allows for the trade of many of the resources present in the system and its 12 planets, 40+ moons, and millions of asteroids. The capital planet of the system is Toxa (“Our Home,” notably in the Kipaktli language and definitely intended to mean the Kipaktli's home, not the Moxli's).
1 Midrange Sector - Eztenkitontu (Bloodied Sun)
Population: 25 billion Moxli, 2 billion Kipaktli
Hyperspace Junction
GDP: 8,000
NCP: 5
The Eztenkitontu system has its namesake star, a red dwarf, as the heart of the system. It is a younger system in the NenAltKik, and is dominated by Moxli immigrants with a smattering of Kipaktli soldiers and entrepeneurs. The capital planet is Bogega, a word from one of the Moxli languages, Polelo.
1 Colony Sector:
Colony – Hweyixal (Far Nest)
Population: 10 billion Moxli, 12 billion Kipaktli
Pop/GDP Bonus
GDP: 2,000
NCP: 3
Hweyixal is the most recent acquisition of the NenAltKik, and is still under a military governorship, as the system was invaded by the NenAltKik approximately 7 decades ago, and war was made on the native species, a group of aliens known as the Slurmians, a group of worm-like creatures with a primitive spacefaring civilization. The NenAltKik general in charge of the expedition to the Hweyixal system initially made war as the Kipakt do, expecting a quick victory and a return to normal relations. So, Tewktyao (“Lord of Battle”; a term equivilent to general) Neltiktlamin invaded one of their mining colonies on a moon, in order to utilize whatever existing infrastructure was there to start up a base in the system. The Slurmians, however, had no willingness to surrender and make peace, and instead launched into a war of attrition. The NenAltKik continually tried to make peace, but the Slurmians ignored the pleas and kept trying to destroy the invaders. So, Neltiktlamin opted to do what the Kipaktli do in the face of resistance that does not crumble: completely obliterate the foe. They then launched a war of complete and total annihiliation. What little knowledge that could be extracted, was, while every Slurmian was put to the sword. Hatcheries were set aflame, hospitals bombed, civilians gunned down from gunships, bombing campaigns against cities that didn't break immediately, computer espionage to steal data and shut off power and launch the Slurmians own weapons against themselves. It took 16 years to completely wipe the Slurmians from the universe, but the NenAltKik completed the job. However, in spite of a complete victory, Neltiktlamin was eventually stripped of command by a newly elected government made up of Moxli who found the idea of speciecide to be distasteful, to say the least.
This campaign, though, led to the gigantic number of Kipakt soldiers to emigrate and live in the system they conquered, while the Moxli merely trickled in. It is the only place in the NenAltKik where the Moxli are a minority and where the military governorship continues to rule the system until it is sorted and folded into the NenAltKik properly.
