A raven would find Darion with word of his pending acceptance

Application Form OOC: Username: You see it Skype: (Pm if you want.) xhipsterathiestx Ideas and Suggestions?: More memes RP (Human colony): Colony Name: Federal Republic of Onyx First Planet Type: Continental Planet resembling a Terran environment, albeit with only around 50% of the world being water History: (Assuming it's a bit of a custom nation.) As the ships left Earth, the crew of the USS "Augustus" and the crew of the much smaller UUS "Everett" would find themselves off course, and far from the intended destination. Fuel was short, and there was no way to be sure another jump would send them where they needed. Their accidental destination however was a lucky break; a terrestrial planet that was strikingly similar to Earth, granted with alien flora and fauna. Setting down their ships on the surface, the two crews came together and decided that for all intents and purposes, they were all that remained of Earth. The planet was named Onyx in reference to the shiny black rocks found in abundance on the landing site of the survivors. They formed a Federal Republic, with members of the community filling offices of government on election, led by the Archon of Onyx. Eventually a few settlements would be formed, with each settlement sending two representatives to the Capital of Augusta, originally built from the scuttled ships.

Small Arms Vandorian Longsword Used first by the Order of the White Rose, the Kaedreni Longsword has been a staple weapon of Waldenian and Vandorian soldiers since their roots in the Order of Saint Lucien. The Vandorian variant features a hand and a half grip, and a slightly shorter blade length. Gladius A weapon with roots as far back as the White Rose, the Spatha was once used by the Salvus Shields for short and bloody work in tight city streets. Used as a stabbing weapon, it is often paired with a shield. The Gladius is considerably shorter, and more nimble, often called ‘butcher’s blades’ by veterans, for they are used in places where the fighting is bloodiest. Arbalest The Arbalest is a fearsome weapon. Used in sieges, the Arbalest can pin an armored man to a wall from a distance. Often used once then discarded due to lengthy reload times, it remains a formidable weapon. Zweihander An ancient weapon, the Zweihander is a massive two handed weapon which requires the strength of a well built soldiers to wield. The weight, however, is worth the effect. Known to be able to sever limbs easily and carve apart armored men, the Zweihander is a fearsome weapon carried most often by a Knight-Sergeant. Flanged Mace The flanged mace is a crushing weapon, used to cave in armor plates and bones alike. Those who carry the mace into battle rely on heavy handed and traumatic blows of force as opposed to the finer blade work of a Longsword or Gladius. Siege Equipment Hansetian Ballista From the great white north, the Hansetian Ballista is used. Developed by the Teutonic siege engineers, it was widely used by their Hochmeister Mirtok DeNurem and made a great presence at the original Siege of the Dreadfort. It is designed for accurate, long­range fire at personnel, fortifications, and ships. Kaedreni Onager The Force of the White Rose developed this weapon early in their reign. It is effective as a small catapult and works slowly against weaker fortifications at short distances. It is capable of flinging hot pots of oil and basic explosives at enemy positions. Waldenian Trebuchet The Waldenian Trebuchet is an example of a tradition of artillery warfare. Large, intimidating, and powerful, the Waldenian Trebuchet is capable of great damage to all fortifications and at long distances. Waldenian Catapult The Waldenian Catapult is simply a more advanced version of the Kaedreni Onager, working at longer range distances and with more power.
