Eliestrian Nebula

AKA, 'Twin Council' ('Draconis Collective' & 'Eliestrian Mists')

Overview:

 ]]]]] The inhabitants of the Eliestrian Nebula, having recently finished conducting First Contact Protocols with the Omnet, and having been forced to co-operate with each other by their recent awareness of the Greater Galaxy, have but recently come to terms with what it means to be a member of the Greater Galaxy, and the responsibility that they feel their membership requires of them. Still shocked by the 'new' ideas of Matter and Energy, these sentience are showing an unprecedented desire to take their rightful place within the Galactic community, and have started to make headway towards achieving their goals. Still mildly 'shell-shocked' about the new ideas called 'Matter' and 'Energy', these sentients are showing a fascination with the physical side of the Galaxy.

Q-dex:

T 112.6874/1089.684A M 090.7985/599.20 {Psychic / Weave Classification}

]]]]] Due to recent advances within Omnet capabilities, this Q-Zone has been more properly classified. No longer is the Q-Dex Classification of the TSR an unknown value. Notably, due to recent quantum fluctuations within this Zone, the esoteric capabilities of the inhabitants of this Zone increased by a minor degree. (Added to an already high esoteric focus, these modifications have increased the mystical capabilities of the native sentients to levels unheard of within their own histories.)

Technology:

 ]]]]] The science of physics, and its application technology, are a relatively new phenomenon within this Zone. Thereby the technological capabilities of the inhabitants are considered minimal.

[Omnet Reference: the functions of TFP Synthetics are seriously degraded within this Zone. It appears that the temporal capabilities of Synthetic processors are disrupted to such a degree as to cause an inability to function in that manner. What other effects there may be have not yet been determined.]

Magic:

 ]]]]] The esoteric sciences, and their application, magic, have been developed unto a highly capable system of effects. There is believed to be very little that these sentients can not achieve within the esoteric realms.

]]]]] Among the Scythe-Draconis, esoteric effects take upon the appearance of biological functions (i.e.; 'breathing flames' upon an opponent.) Meanwhile their non-individual effects seem to take the appearance of biological technology.

]]]]] Among the s'Laerin, esoteric effects take upon the appearance of dealings with beings of spiritual natures (i.e.; dealing with the dead, the spirits, and/or the gods.) Even though this apparent aberration is of minor concern, no further action will be taken in the study of these magics.

Size:

 ]]]]] The current 'size' of the Eliestrian Nebula is estimated to be approx. 70 stellar systems worth of 'space'. Only three stellar systems are believed to actually reside within the Nebula. As for the Nebula itself, there appears to be a large number of free-floating 'collectives' of substance (Matter and/or Mana). These 'collectives' of substance are deemed to be a navigational hazard.

Population:

 ]]]]] The current census information provided to the Omnet, by the Scythe-Draconis, numbers the population of the Scythe-Draconis to be approx. 32 billion. The previous numbers given were due to errors in the translation effects employed by the Twin Council, and we apologize for any misunderstanding that may have taken place.

]]]]] At present, the population estimate for the s'Laerin is unknown. [Omnet Reference: Not even the s'Laerin know how many of their people there are within the Nebula. Not that they try to keep track.]

Climate and Geography:

 ]]]]] As such things mean little to these inhabitants of the nebula, this information is not considered to be relevant. As for those who wish to visit, we must warn you that outside of artificial breathing apparatus, there is no naturally occurring breathable gases within the Nebula.

Flora and Fauna:

 ]]]]] Information on the life-forms within this Zone is difficult to categorize or classify as there is such a degree of difficulty in isolating a creature of energy or essence in a mass of substance very similar to itself. As such, information on the life-forms of the Nebula, while known to exist, is impossible to collect.

History:

 ]]]]] The history of these two species is long and convoluted. Due to the nature of such subjects, the Scythe-Draconis have requested that such information be withheld from the Omnet’s databases for the time being. Reasoning for this request is currently unknown, but the request is being respected.

Government:

 ]]]]] As the governance system vary greatly between these sentient species the collection of this information is considered speculative at best. As such information is considered of especial interest, we have made every effort to gather such information. Due to the nature of the sentient we are dealing with, errors are known to happen. We, the Omnet, take no responsibility for the correctness nor the validity of information listed within this section.

Foreign Policy:

]]]]] Currently, the Draconis Collective is seeking military and diplomatic liaisons with the neighboring Empires, primarily for the purpose of increasing their technological awareness (Showing a high fascination with Biological technologies.)

]]]]] As the Scythe-Draconis are looking for exo-territorial alliances, so are the s'Laerin. Differing from the Draconis Collective in that instead of military alliances, the s'Laerin are looking for exchanges of esoteric knowledge and techniques.

]]]]] Seeking as they are to involve themselves in differing fashions, neither seem to conflict with each other in achieving what they desire. [Omnet Reference : Anyone who allies themselves with the Scythe-Draconis or the Draconis Collective will be approached by the s'Laerin (Eliestrian Mists) for the purpose of a non-aggression treaty. The s'Laerin do not wish for the Scythe-Draconis to be able to bring in 'alien' allies to their internal conflict.

Domestic Policy:

]]]]] The laws and regulations of the Scythe-Draconis can be summed up by this simple phrase, "What is mine is mine, what is yours is yours, and never shall they meet unless we both will it." All in all, a simple concept with a complex application. Territory and property are considered to be part of the owners being, thereby any attack or slander versus their property will be dealt with to the fullest extent of their capabilities. Side note: This means that if you trespass, or you steal, they can kill you if they want to. And most of the time they will want to.

]]]]] On the other hand, the s'Laerin have a minimalistic governance system that can be said to follow a simple rule, "Do no harm, lest it strike you back." Again a simple concept, but a dangerous application. Side Note: This means that whatever you do to others will be done to you, Good or Bad. Hope you like what you do to others, they will do it to you.

Society:

 ]]]]] The society of the Scythe-Draconis is based upon three pillars (House Allegiance, Clan Allegiance, and Personal Ability.) Having many Houses, many Clans, and many definitions of ability, the social structure of the Scythe-Draconis has proven to be beyond comprehension by visitors. This is thought to be caused by the fact that the Scythe-Draconis still retain a large amount of instinctive behavior from their ancestral beginnings.

]]]]] As to the society of the s'Laerin, there is only one definition that can be applied. They do not have a society. They do what they want as long as it does not interfere with what another is doing. Upon the few instances of interference, the individuals determine what they want to do.

Languages:

]]]]] The languages of the Scythe-Draconis are many and varied. It is deemed safer to use a translation effect, rather than try to learn a language one might be killed for knowing.

]]]]] As to the s'Laerin, the only language they use is a form of telepathic communication.

Religion:

]]]]] The Scythe-Draconis are known to have no known religious beliefs, and they scorn those who do.

]]]]] The s'Laerin have a complicated and complex pantheon of gods and spirits that are at various times opposed by, then assisted by, each other.

Economy:

 ]]]]] The economic capacity of the Scythe-Draconis is based upon a non-modifiable, non-reproducible substance that is considered indestructible. This substance appears to be a variant of Blackvoid, but it is unknown if that is true, as the Scythe-Draconis consider this substance to be theirs and theirs alone.

]]]]] As expected, the s'Laerin do not have an economic system more complicated than that of bartering services.

Military:

 ]]]]] The military capabilities of the Scythe-Draconis are considered to be unmatched in their mystical characteristics, but very weak in the physical characteristics. The Scythe-Draconis are seeking to overcome this limitation through alliances and trade agreements.

Sports and Leisure:

 ]]]]] Unknown, and probably unknowable.

Major Population Centers:

 ]]]]] We do not believe that either species has a major population center, as such we have not listed such information within this entry.

Chronic Problems:

 ]]]]] The only known societal problems within the Draconis Collective is their inability to adapt to changing ideas. They desire everything to stay the same as it was. Doing something without precedent is for the s'Laerin, not the Draconis. But, as the activities of the Draconis have shown, what the s'Laerin do, so can the Scythe-Draconis. [Precedence being established and all.]
