building a hard-ish scyfy setting, need to flesh out some of the factions.
Humans are already done, admittedly in the ISO Standard Scyfy Human way. (Boxy ships, kinetic weapons, etc)
I have a couple alien species laid out but I'd love anyone else's ideas as to what could make a cool alien species. (trying to avoid, humanoids with rubber foreheads though)
I also need to come up with what types of weaponry/what design asthetic each would use. I'm trying to give each species a different catagory to be it's focus.
So far I've got
The Commonwealth of Democratic Systems ,ISO Standard Humans, Kinetic weapons (Railguns), roman republic style governement crost with modern democratic prinicples (senate, and two consuls form the core of the government, actual elections rather than oligarchic selection)
The Kress Magnarchy, Tripedal three gendered race, Direct energy weaponry (Lasers), Authoritarian and imperialistic society. Ruler is referred to as the High Magnate.
The kingdome of Barat, Bipedal reptillian race. Plasma based weaponry. Answeres to a constitutional monarchy.
The Grand Diet Conferential, multi-species organisation, still needs to be populated by various species, space UN (think the council from mass effect)
anyone have ideas?
