1) Itani, unlike the serco don't need a blade because they realize that there is no possible time they will ever need it while flying through vendetta :-P
2) Itani are of all gender.
3) Itani are Carnivores, we eat only meat and no vegatables.

here's the idea: Flesh out your own nation with random factoids that add flavor to the universe.
The rules:
All factoids are valid if entered by a player whose primary nation is the one in question, and are of reasonable scope and concept.
You may flesh out or edit another player's factoid if you and your suggestion meet the aforementioned requirements, or if your idea is just too good to let go of. However, the factoid's original poster has final rights to the idea, and may veto any changes you make.

K? Here we go:


1) Serco warriors are trained from the age of two, and given a blade at five.
2) Serco warriors may be either male or female, and female warriors are actually preferred.
3) Serco are vegan. While they see no problem with killing their enemies, consuming the flesh of any animate thing Serco, be it human or beast is cannibalism, and the flesh of anything non-Serco imparts the weakness inherent in that creature's soul.

Continue as you will.

4) Some Itani like to generalize aspects of themselves (e.g. carnivore) to all Itani

4) Serco have hair ranging from black to blonde, and are generally of dark complexion due to life on their molten homeworld of Prometheus Prime.

5) The vast majority of Prometheus Prime's surface is molten, with only small patches of hospitable land, which is either rocky desert or high, abrupt mountains. These towering rock edifices, known as "spears" by locals go from sea level nearly to the edge of the breathable atmosphere in the space of under half a kilometer. Each spear has been riddled with tunnels and vast galleries over centuries of colonization, and tacticians from all nations agree that attempts to assault the Serco on their homeworld would almost certainly fail. Thus, a strategy of containment and raids has been put in place, with only middling success.

5) Arranias was once a stark and dreary world inhabited by human settlers. During the Great War, the Itani destroyed the settlers and remade their world into a paradise.

6) Itani are far taller than any of the other races, since their homeworld has lower gravity and their ships tend to neglect the gravity plating...

7) An Itani is born nameless, and will not get his name until he or she has demonstrated their proficience in their field of study

6) Serconian's often have extremely cold attiudes to allies and enemies alike. Serconian's wont hesitate to cross blades over even the smallest of things

7)The Serco weapon of choice is the Broadsword, and their ships hvy hulls, merely to beat there enemy to death.

8) Serconians are the most orinented to the Nation than the other nations. They will sacrifice themeselves for their nation and their nations advancement over their own.

10) Serco Ale is one of the strongest, least appetizing drinks in the galaxy. Despite this fact, Serco are not known to be drunkards, the ale was simply a matter of necessity due to a lack of available drinking water.

9) Serco abhor body modification of any kind, considering scars earned in battle the only ones worth keeping, and all other deliberate modification akin to lying about one's accomplishments.

1) the Nutrals, before the war beggun, were able to reach into places no one dared in the name of trading.

2) a true Nutral sees nothing but profit in his work.

3) all Nutral Babys are givven the ferangi Book of rules at the age of 3.
if you want to read it:)

4) A Nutral home world is where he has the biggest amount of profit

5) Once upon a time Nutrals lived within all nations. but when the war came they were forced to leave from fear that they will pass sensetive information to other Nutrals in enemy nations and were banished to an isolated planed beyond the rimbs of the known galaxy. after a time they returned, taking no active part in the on-going war between the two remaining nations.
after they were banished all Nutrals have sworn not to settle down in any nation again.

Contrary to popular belief, most Neutrals can spell. But there is a small clan, within the Neutral Territories who call themselves Nutrals. They're somewhat like the gypsies of Vendetta.

The Neutral Territores are comprised of a vast network of planets and multi-solar conglomerates who, fearing domination by the Serco and the Itani, banded together to avoid being controlled by either.

Neutrals are fiercly independant.

Neutrals, despite the suggestion of their name, are willing to take the fight into enemy ground to protect themselves from future Serco or Itani agression.

Sercons can actually really truly honestly and no bs spell (they stole spellcheckers from the IN and have been deviously using them ever since).

There is a Serco Clan that consists entirely of Cyborgs and AIs.
They are not seen as 'real' Serco, but some sort of hybrid.

The frigate Gentu was actually one of these Semi Serco (known as Cyrko) whose AI was infected by an Itani electronic-warfare virus. When it began malfunctioning, it was towed out to a quarantine in Sector 16 by its compatriots in the Cyrko forces. It has been stripped of its engines and all but minimal defense cannons, and left to wrestle with the virus. Due to the battle taking place in its systems, Gentu will now fire upon all incoming vessels, Serco or otherwise.

The design of the Vulture stems back many years into Serco history. The first craft commissioned for military use, it was sent out to battle waves of Itani Centurians sent in to raid our beloved homeworld. However, as Prometheus brang fire, a traitorous pilot brought the design of the Vulture out upon the open market. As such, the vulture as we know it has been a commonly-manufactured ship design all over the known map.

Jealous of the heavy bomber building capabilities of the Neutral Territories, the Serco and Itani commissioned spies to bribe a small NT faction to bring them the plans for the Hornet and Ragnarok. In an attempt to safeguard their secrets, decoy plans for the Hornet were released that tragically hampered its agility and all copies of the original were destroyed. Unfortunately, the original designs were lost when another spy attempted to spirit them away into Itani space and was destroyed by the fury of Neutral Militia.

Serco Religion is based around the teachings of Serco's generals and her monks, and has a major martial focus.

-----------Selected Readings from the Dominion Library-----------


The Pillars of Serco
----------------

The Four Pillars of Serco are recited at waking and sleeping as follows:

-Do the will of the Lady Serco every day, from waking to sleeping, you live to serve her.
-Do not besmirch the name of Lady Serco or that of her Dominion, or through deliberate inaction cause the name dishonor.
-Rally to the defense of the Dominion when called or needed.
-Spread Serco's glory throughout the galaxy through conquest and revolution, so that all may bow before her glory and revel in her service.


Daily Prayer
----------

Daily prayers may be recited at any time of day or night by a designated Serco Monk. One line is recited, then a very short sermon on the line just recited may or may not be inserted. None are required to respond in any way. Generally there is a call to kneel, the prayer is recited, and then worshippers are called to stand again. The requirement to kneel is waived if there is any danger to the nation.

Blessings be to Lady Serco, her strength unfailing
---Sermon on valor and strength---
Blessings be to Lady Serco, her wisdom ever fresh.
---Sermon on wisdom and tactics---
Blessings be to Lady Serco, her mercy never showing.
---Sermon on conquest and victory---
Blessings be to Lady Serco, her memory always with us.
---Sermon on memory and vengeance---

The Serco's true power and strength lie inside their craft, which are custom tailored by Serco Technicians to each pilot. The craft and the pilot are meshed together with detailed crosses of memory and personality from the pilots brain to the Ship's Computer. Thus, forming a bond between pilot and craft.

Serco Technicians long ago realized the potential of the hardforged metal known as "PromPlex" that originates deep inside volcanos on Prometheus Prime. PromPlex is used in all Serco hulls to strengthen them. The Promethues is known to be made of 100% PromPlex while the Vulture Fighter, a favorite amongst Serco Fighter Pilots, has between 20-60%

I think that my character is a cross between all of these. He is an Itani, but practices in the traditional Viking spirit of Earth. He, like the Sercos, carries a sword, shield, bow, and spear for when he lands on planets. He wears a bear skin for a coat and other animal skins for the rest of his clothing. He is also like the Neutrals however, since he will only serve his home nation. Should he move, he will help anyone in that sector.

The wraith is an early prototype of the Serco Promethus. As the design was being reworked its plans were stolen by the NT, and reworked into their more fitting trader, the Atlas.

However, the Serco has kept the plans for the Promethus, and the material combination of PromPlex secret, leaving the Promethus unchallanged in its role. Other nations attempts at producing bomber never gave much result, as is visible in the poor manouverability of the Ragnarök.

The Wraith is actually an Itani design, claimed by the Serco because of its uberness. It was codenamed the "Blue Heavy".

After the large usage of the Vultures and the New Advance Bombers by the Sercos, Itani had to make another form of Fighter Class Units to combat this new threat. One of the Sercos, defiantly defected the Serco Nation and came to the Homeworld of the Itani Nation in the Vega Prime Sector, Sector 1, in a Vulture. He was named a Hero and the Itani Scientists had tests flights with it and found it was maneuverable. They built a Prototype of a Vulture and a Centurion mixed, but the test found that it was too big and it had too little weapons. Some inventor named Manious Valkyrie, proposed a prototype for a new fighter. Sleek and agile, the prototype performed very well againts training bots. Using a JH-690 Engine and 3 Small weapon ports at the front tip, it also out performed many previous fighters of the Itani Nation. Codenamed the Valkyrie, It has been in the Ranks of Many Elite Itani Combat Units and has been the first and last line of defence in any situation. After many Serco spies had tried to steal the plans, an Arms Dealer named Prolope Botica stole the designs and has been building the Valkyrie Models and Transports them to Sector 18 in the Vega Prime. In the station where he hosts the models in the Black Market.

P.S Did i break any rules?
