Knowledge of Higher Beings, Spirituality, and the Supernatural


The Energy Being responsible for the Konigserker people has chosen only to isolate the Konigserker and protect them from other beings, but to otherwise avoid any interaction. As such, the Konigserker are not aware of supernatural powers and have no clear proof of the existence of higher beings. While religions do exist and are practiced by the Konigserker people, there is no unifying belief system and the culture is largely secular.

However, the nature of the Energy Being's protection prevents the powers of other Energy Beings or the races beneath them from affecting Konigserkers directly. While it is possible to attack them indirectly, such as by dropping debris on them, any direct action will be neutralized by the Energy Being.

The Konigserker Republic


The Konigserker Republic is a constitutional republic led by a president democratically elected by an electoral college. At the national level, it is a federation of closely tied member states each with their own government. The president holds the position of commander-in-chief of all armed forces and is the head of the executive branch of the federal government. The legislative branch is composed of a bicameral Congress, made up of the Senate and the House of Representatives, which makes federal law, declares war, approves treaties, has the power of the purse, and has the power of impeachment, by which it can remove sitting members of the government. The judicial branch is formed by a Supreme Court and lower federal courts, whose judges are appointed by the president with Senate approval, interpret laws and can overturn laws they find unconstitutional. Government officials hold office for a limited term, varying by office, and may only serve one office for a set number of terms, which also varies. All local government offices and low level state offices are held by citizens chosen by lottery to serve the current term. Consequently, local governments are highly bureaucratic organizations that rely heavily on inter-communication and strict adherence to procedure to cope with frequently changing officers.

The Konigserker Republic is notable for requiring all citizens to participate their government for a minimum of two months out of every year, including but not requiring military service. This typically involves clerical work and while it is paid it is possible for citizens to do this work while continuing in their own fields. Government participation may also include labor as part of a military civil works project and as such military bases are usually surrounded by well-developed urban and suburban residential and commercial areas for which the bases are responsible.

With the introduction of the Stargate, the Konigserker Republic has begun to operate on the interplanetary level, establishing a military organization to use and protect the Stargate. They go on regular exploratory missions and are active in the Hall of Co-Aligned Independent Planets.

Oliver Base


Oliver Base is the name of the first Konigserker installation to exist on another planet, the planet Sarras Miklagarther [sɚɻɛs ɱɪçɭɑːɢɑ̃ʁʈɝɹ]. In the past decade, Oliver Base has been the front of the Konigserker conquest of the planet in retaliation against its native peoples.

Oliver Base is extensively developed around a Mirai Stargate Platform. It possesses manufacturing and repair facilities for a fleet of ground and air vehicles; it has a full-sized airfield with tower; and eight underground silos capable of supporting orbital launch vehicles (rockets capable of escape velocities). These silos were responsible for putting up the Konigserker communication and navigation satellites over the planet and also for the worldwide nuclear strikes that effectively eradicated the entire population.

History of the Konigserker-Sarrasen Conflict


0000 F.E.
Shortly after the initialization of the Co-Aligned Planets, the Konigserker and Sarrasen governments formed a close relationship as two constitutional democracies with similar levels of technology and similar industrial development.

0003 F.E.
The KSR adapts to new technology much faster than the Sarrasens. In the interests of sharing technological and industrial advancements, the Sarrasens approve the construction of a KRA base near the Stargate.

0005 F.E.
Oliver Base is completed 2 km from the Stargate and the first duty detachments arrive.

0005 F.E. - 0009 F.E.
Soldiers from Oliver Base quickly gain a reputation for being rowdy and crude, but remain manageable and are tolerated for the considerable business revenue they produce. Oliver Base becomes the center of a somewhat disreputable suburban area.

During this time, KRA advisers work closely with their Sarrasen military counterparts, discussing weaponry, tactics, equipment, and logistics. This includes tours around the Sarrasen planet to experience the different fighting environments they might have to engage in.

1/1/0010 F.E.
While celebrating New Year's in a local bar, an unknown KRA soldier is involved in an altercation resulting in the deaths of two local Sarrasen men. The soldier returns to Oliver Base.

12/1/0010 F.E.
The KRA refuses to extradite on the grounds that barfight deaths are not criminal in the KSR.

2/0000 F.E. - 5/0000 F.E.
Sarrasen courts try and convict an unnamed KRA soldier in absentia. Following the conviction, the Sarrasen government again requests extradition. Their request is refused.

20/10/0010 F.E.
Local Sarrasen military and police attempt to forcible take a KRA soldier into custody by storming Oliver Base. They are gunned down on-base.

1/12/0010 F.E.
Sarras Miklagarther officially declares open war on the Konigserker Republic when the KSR again refuses extradition. In the next 24 hours, the KRA seizes the Stargate and establishes a perimeter around it and Oliver Base.

0010 F.E. - 0015 F.E.
Fairly even battles between Konigserker and Sarrasen forces. Konigserker reinforcements from the Stargate give the Konigserker the impetus to slowly expand to an 8 km radius around the gate. Oliver Base is expanded to that perimeter. Fighting includes the taking and slaughter of Sarrasen civilian hostages, though the KSR officially denies this.

4/5/0015 F.E.
Completion of Oliver Base's eight underground missile silos. First launch destroys Sarrasen communications satellite. Next launch takes out Sarrasen surveillance satellite over Oliver Base. Remaining silos launch MIRV nuclear strikes on population centers in the opposite hemisphere.

0015 F.E. - 0017 F.E.
16 additional multi-warhead missiles destroy satellite networks, urban and industrial centers, military bases, and government centers. Oliver Base also begins to launch their own communications and navigation satellite network.

19/7/0017 F.E.
The final series of nuclear launches from Oliver Base targets the Sarrasen capital city.

30/11/0017 F.E.
Official surrender of Sarras Miklagarther to the Konigserker Republic. Though the KSR officially accepts this surrender and missile strikes cease, the KRA continues operations, seeking out and eliminating the remaining Sarrasen population.

0020 F.E.
Official end of the Konigserker campaign on Sarras Miklagarther, though military action on the planet continues as teams continue search and destroy operations.

The Konigserker Species: Homo orciens


Homo orciens, or orc, is a humanoid species that is evidently the result of convergent evolution. The species has a number of distinct differences from Homo sapiens, but possesses nearly identical linguistic and cognitive ability due to their very similar biology. Orcs tend to be taller and heavier set than humans, with denser musculature and skeletal structures. Orcs have brains of comparable size and density to humans. Orc eyes are able to adapt to changing light levels much faster than humans, with the ability to see much better in low light, due to their ancestral cave dwelling and raiding. Orc skin tone varies widely, light or dark, from green to blue-gray. Orcs have a heightened sense of smell compared to humans and the ability to consciously control the release of pheromones. Orcs have only average hearing and an underdeveloped sense of taste. Most distinct after skin color, orcs have boar-like tusks, though little-to-no discernible snout.
