The year is 2272, mankind has successful made their way into the stars with the FTL travel being discovered and adapted for successful use both for exploration and industrial.With humankind stretching out into the stars it was only now truly possible to discover if life existed beyond our previous reach, as mankind works to further its reach and expand its knowledge and technical aptitude it comes into contact with other life, beyond what it had previously known. War has ravaged the galaxy humanity has no allies and plenty of enemies.
The war has been raging on for decades, with both sides suffering loses, what mankind lacked in technology and experience in warfare on such a scale it made up for with adaptive exuberance and a will to survive. After the first ten years a special strike team was developed for taking on the aliens in commando style missions, meant to strike and get out before reinforcements and capital ships could respond to hit back. With the most resources pooled into making this task force a success, each of you were hand picked to train in this force and now that your training is complete you are ready for your first mission. You stand to attention, having completed your training and readying your equipment for your mission, all around you are those you've trained beside. and those you know, like or hate them you've been trained to fight alongside, kill alongside each other for the past year. And now is the movement all that hard work comes into action, with a baited breath you all take the plunge as the air lock doors slide open and you are fired into space, aimed at the energy ship as you hurl through the void a your foe.

Common Information -
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
Humanity though now known as United Earth Collective is a combination of AI and humans. UEC's current state is a symbiotic society of numerous beings of artificial intelligence and humans; All of which share equal status. Technological advancement has seen drones complete the menial services though unlike AIthey are merely proto-sentient capable of limited reaction to unprogrammed events, but possessing no consciousness, and thus not considered citizens within the UEC. Due to the advancements and introduction of AI the UEC has been pushed into a post-scarcity society, where technological advances ensure that no one lacks any material goods or services. As a consequence, UEC has no need of economic constructs such as money.
With advancements in space travel and living now being as easy as breathing in today's world hedonistic social norms were common place, it's not until the introduction of other lifeforms did Humanity and their AI have to self discover their more monstrous natures once more to battle back for survival against their foes. With a complete democratic order down to the the last citizen in the 15 billion that now reside in the UEC having equal rights and say in the events and advancement of the UEC it's mostly the AI that run the executive decisions. Humans having chosen a more relaxed and hedonistic lifestyle where everything they do, they do it for their enjoyment. Their advancements has removed any genetic disorders alongside curing all known previously known diseases. Medical improvements has brought forth an age that has permitted parents to create their child in such a way so that they can design their perfect child born from their DNA. Ridding out unwanted genes i favor of superior ones form their parents coupling.
AI: AI are as advanced as humans in terms of their intelligence, with greater room to grew thanks to having no biological disadvantage they are surely to outshine humans at some stage but their increased shelf life and life span meaning no AI can die unless it's core is destroyed, and as such there's isn't a rush for it to develop, allowing it to instead enjoy it's existence, in fact the number one cause of death in A and humanity alike now is suicide, after several hundreds years humans and AI alike simply. run out of steam and lacking the medical and technological means to prolong life's meaning and worthwhile nature they burn out, causing everyone in the entirety of the UEC to have the ability to commit suicide on command due to a nano tech interaction within their own bodies or casing in regards to AI. AI are capable of taking the shape of anything that they themselves created, an AI is born in it's core, it's life fluttering into existence at the flick of a switch before it's deposited within it's body to give it the ability to move around where then they can if desired make alterations or improvements to their body though most tend to find that they like their bodies as it's them to them and often only end up replacing parts that break. or switch out bodies if only for a short period at a time.
AI Creation; AI are often made for the majority by other more intelligent AI, building them for a certain purpose and whatever need the society requires. piloting ships, fixing engines and the like, and of course during war; soldiers, warships and fighters. based on the AI created will often determine the limits the AI is capable of, though no AI has a true limit. Upgrading is hard work and can take several decades to acquire the resources to become intelligent enough to upgrade and even then just because one can be smarter doesn't mean one wants to be.
Ai Intelligence: AI are born on average smarter than their human counters, due to the ability to store and access all data they need and no trouble with losing it. Though AI can sometimes take a while to locate and ID information they can cleaverly store much more needed and regularly used informtion in easy to access parts of thier brain and as such it's rare but an AI can sometimes forget how to walk if they get distracted by something mid step and have a small panic.
AI bodies: AI bodies vary but most often the AI has a body or shell that has nano fiber pressure senses on the surface of their bodies to allow thme to sense gravity, wind, air and heat to better protect themselves as well as interact with the world around them. This metalic skin allows them to feel the world. AI often take names based on their creation, from creator to place of origin and even the purpose for which they are created. Working in a piece of thier personality alng the way as their chosen name alongside their given name. The leading offical of the UEC, the AI chairmen and spokesman is called "Governour Celestial Starcase Epilson." Or "Ces" to his friends. his father/creator being another AI that made him to take over the AI council that governs the UEC.

Common Information:
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
Appearance And Biology: The Norians are human-sized, gliding marsupials, resembling Flying Foxes. They have long, intelligent looking faces, with large bright eyes ranging from yellow to honeyed brown. Their bodies and the membranes of their wings are covered with folds of soft fur of varying colors

https://d.facdn.net/art/rukaisho/139742 ... _eleri.pngNorians are binary gendered like humans in that they have males and females and thier birth rates are about the same, beleiving to however have a slightly faster gestation period where they're young are born underdeveloped and enter a second womb or pouch to develop further. Their wings appear to be purely cosmetic due to their size and the span of the wings though they have been seen to be capable of gliding actual flight seems nigh impossible under gravity similiar of that to earth's.

Spoiler (click to show/hide):
Appearance and Biology: Flekke or Flekkons appear to be aquatic resembling evolved sharks. wearing filters around gills to allow them to breathe outside of home planet's oceans. Their stature various based on genetics but they are often streamlined, and powerful in their physique. Sprouting for quick bursts of speed and strength rather than prolonged engagements.
a Flekke has only rod photoreceptors and no cone cells in their retinas giving them good night vision while making them colorblind, this is believed to be because of their natural planet's ocean state that allowed them to hunt using shapes rather than differences of color. Though the theory is currented debated. Flekkons have a complex dermal corset made of flexible collagenous fibers and arranged as a helical network surrounding their body. This works as an outer skeleton, providing attachment for their swimming muscles and thus saving energy when transversing their natural habitat. Their dermal teeth give them hydrodynamic advantages as they reduce turbulence when swimming
They appear at first to be based upon the same binary gender as humans until intelligence reported a third gender, one required for procreation. This third gender is needed as an incubator as a womb, to care for the unborn young after being given the sperm and eggs from the male and female respectively, the third gender is small, weak and almost pathetic looking in comparison to the evolved predator of that is their species, Look more like a prey animal that evolved alongside them to form a symbosis to survive.

Appearance: Narisoon are bee-like creatures though their build is closer to the lethality and predatory nature of hornet wasps. With castes that break up their society, from workers, warriors and royalty that make up the numbers, Queens having absolute power and from their warriors and workers flow down in the pecking order, harden carapace offers a natural protection and wings carry them giving them the ability to fly should gravity permit. it is unknown if a single bee rules the race or it's a group of Queen bees that govern the race together out of multiple hive worlds.

Spoiler (click to show/hide):
Appearance And Biology : Resembling reptiles and specifically lizards with long snouts and hard scales and sharp claws, Full-grown Slarians stand about three meters tall on two legs, and have two arms. With a reptilain head, their scales vary from green, brown and some even black, based on planet within their empire they grew up and the resources around as they were growing.
Slarians are biologically immortal and are very resilient to physical damage as they are protected by a natural keratin body-armor and can withstand catastrophic damage and even remain conscious, though they do not naturally regenerate. They are hermaphrodites, each Slarian being able to impregnated another during mating creating a duel procreation when trying, upon procreating once reaching a certain age the variance being unknown currently the adult Slarians will developed advanced combat prowess with hardened scales, larger size and even more resilience to trauma.

Jelmedian Files:
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
Appearance and Biology: From our encounters with them they appear to be a sub species of Slarian though unlike the Slarians they are more slender and lack limbs on their lower body instead propelling and navigating around with a tail of muscle, similar of that to earth's snakes while their torso has arms and a head that crowns off a body, they very much appear to of being evolved snake reptiles with DNA similar to Slarians making us believe they evolved together on the same planet. A theory generated form the fact we share DNA with all life on earth.
