Black Wind Principality
The Black Wind Principality is the Empire of the Undeath. The Undeath are human symbiotes to an alien virus that is completely in sync with their metabolism. Their skin is a light blue and their hair is many colors due to the toxins of the Virus. Their eyes are also luminescent and glow when there is an absence of light. Undeath need to eat and drink like any other race but are capable of going for hours without breathing. They are the only known race that can survive for short periods of time in space without a space suit. When an Undeath reaches adulthood they effectively stop aging. They are able to sustain life for eternity. This does not mean they are immortal as they can die of an unnatural end.
Culture
Undeath operate in a feudal society. The Queen would hand out planets to lords. The lords are the great eccentric inventors of the empire. In return for great inventions that can be mass produced for the empire the queen would grant them a planet to fund their research. The planet would be passed down the family line as the inventors killed themselves in their experiments. Below the Lords were the regional military leaders the Generals. They oversee their respective region and are paid by the lord’s family. Bellow the Generals are the vassals who would take care of individual counties. The peasantry would be those Undeath who work the factories and fields, they are well paid for their skills at maintaining the machines that make up the Principality.
Military
Most of the black Wind military is local militia. Each planet builds and maintains its own fleet and army. Star ships are not uniform and are almost always unique. Each ship is a personal masterpiece of the technician that designs them as the ships are built by the generals individually. Most Generals compete with each other to build the best ships and technology for their lord as masterpiece ship come with hefty bonuses. What is known is the Undeath love of plasma cannons and pulse lasers. Plasma batteries eat away at the hulls of ships when they impact and pulse lasers are rapid fire lasers that operate much like a machine gun of the FSA.
