Federated Star Alliance
The Federated Star Alliance is a coalition between Humans, Kitiana, Dragonair, and Tort. Each works for the greater good of the Alliance. The Alliance was formed from the remains of the shattered earth to become the largest empire in the galaxy. The alliance has a reputation for being planet hungry as the human species reproduces quickly.
Culture
Every species in the federation has its place in the empire depending on its gender and race. Human are merchants, artisans and craftsmen. Their skills are wide and vary from person to person. Humans are well known as the best diplomats in known space as they are the most charismatic of the species. Kitiana are almost identical to humans apart for their fox ears and tail. Kitiana males are cunning and brave. They are well known tricksters and make excellent barterers. They are the best Merchants in known space. Kitiana Females are calculating and cunning but tend to scare easily. They are well known for their panic attacks. They are also known as excellent researchers. Dragonair Males are much larger than the females and are capable of great feats of strength. They are well known for the ability to breathe fire. They make excellent laborers and builders as well as soldiers and mercenaries. Dragonair females look much like female humans but are usually a wide variety of colors in order to attract a mate, with two horns on their head, a small tail, and tiny undersized wings. Female Dragonair evolved from being flyers to a ground walking species. They make excellent civilian pilots and make excellent entertainers and athletes as they are very energetic. The Tort are small in stature usually from 3 to 4 feet tall. Tort males are mechanically apt and great with machines. They are often sought as mechanics and servicemen and are often seen maintaining the empire. Tort females are very motherly are excellent at taking care of children. As such they make excellent nannies and are the best of the races at the medical profession.
Military
Big guns say it all. The Alliance military is much like 20th century earth military only the tanks are bigger and the guns are louder. Alliance starships are much like the battleships of WWII and operate much the same way. The Alliance military has invested very little in the way of lasers. They primarily use Mass Drivers and missiles to utterly crush their foe.
Just like in culture the Alliance races are encouraged into certain parts of the military based on gender and race. Humans make excellent infantry for the armies as they reproduce quickly; their numbers are used to fill the ranks. They are usually the main crew of the starships. They are also the species best at piloting the anti capital ship Mechs that make up the navy. Kitiana Males are the strategists and commanders of the Alliance. They are the most cunning and thusly most suited to the command role. Kitiana Females make excellent operators for the systems on the navy ships. They are also the operators the run the systems on the mechs. When in large numbers and working towards the same goal they can overcome their panic attacks. Dragonair Males are too large to make good infantry. Their size makes the excellent Marines; in the close quarter fighting inside a starship they are legendary. Hardened and used to war they make excellent admirals and commanders. Dragonair Females having evolved from a flying species, make the best fighter pilots for the starships. Their relatively small size means the cockpit of fighters can be smaller, thus taking up less space. Tort males make excellent fighter and mech mechanics as well as technicians in space and on the ground. Tort Females make up the majority of the medical core and are very skilled surgeons.
