Dating back millions of years, the Qetësi [ke-tee-sea] are an ancient civilisation of humanoid aliens, who have prospered through pacifist diplomacy with their entire star system and mutiple other systems to create the unified Amalgamation, with the Qetësi at the center and head of the power.
With a unified series of systems under the single ideology of peace, the Amalgamation begun to prosper, diverting their collaborative efforts into clean industry and environmental protection. Over a period of two hundred years, they managed to achieve such a goal. Now with utopian planets, civilised beacons of peace and natural purity, the Qetësi began to create ships larger and larger - and more importantly, began to create weapons.
After much debate within the Amalgamation, and much controversy, the Qetësi began to develop weaponry after millions of years of peace. They would never use it offensive, but keep it for defensive purposes. The populace wouldn't even want the weaponry, due to such traditional and hereditary peace. Weapons crime was a problem reserved for other races.
They started at first with simple rifles, advancing alarmingly fast by creating micro-versions of their ship propulsion technology and shaping the devices into larger weapons. Eventually, they ended up with what they had set out to achieve once more.
With the newly appointed monarch, First Royal Councillor Matkë, there has been a noticable change in the Qetësi attitudes. More emphasis has been placed on the military, and finding new races with which to learn more about.
WEAPONRY
Spoiler:
The Qetësi utilise tachyon-based cannons, with a natural cyan colour to the visibly bright laser-like tracers. The smaller weapons are incredibly potent against smaller shields, with the larger weapons focusing more on hull damage - but still impacting upon larger shields with force. Smaller tachyon-based projectiles are incredibly fast, and are very effective against missiles and fighters.
The weapons require massive amounts of energy, supplied by a secondary core within a ship or base. The first core is a standard power source for all non-weaponry, of which there is an abundance.
They do not possess any missile technology, instead learning from all other races and variating their ideas to create all kinds of projectile weaponry.
Currently, the most common types of weapons are long cannons and smaller anti-fighter weaponry.
With specially adapted troops, the Qetesi military personnel underwent massive mindset reworking in order to understand war. This is now a standard procedure for all new recruits, who are selected from the docile population to serve on-board the newly constructed ships.
In terms of ground personnel, there are about two hundred thousand stationed on each planet in the Amalgamation. This is to preserve a defensive frontier and maintain order now that there are reworked mindsets running around once retired from military service. Needless to say, they are still very much docile and peace-loving.
Every planet relies on large defensive gun platforms in orbit, and the mass amounts of defensive gun batteries lying idle on their respective surfaces. They do not expect, nor wish to be attacked - or attack anything themselves. They simply realise what hostile and unstable times they live in.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Spoiler:
Appearance: Standing at an average of 5'10, the Qetësi are light blue skinned and posess identical anatomy to humans, with the exception of backwards-curved legs and hands with two fingers and a thumb. Their lungs are larger, with stronger hearts. Their blood is a dark blue. Their eyes can be golden, purple or blue, depending on their racial background. Nobles will have green eyes, usually. This is due to hereditary background.
Home Planet: Strehë - Population of around thirty billion on the giant blue planet. Population: Comprised of three races. The Qetësi, Kalgor and Vanq'us. There are plenty of mixes between the Qetësi and Vanq'us as they are both very humanoid, with the exception of Vanq'us males, who bear strong canine features - but on a humanoid figure. Political Structure: A near-flawless Democracy, with great power given to the effective Monarch - the "First Royal Councillor". Strong Influence: Peace Stability: Extremely strong sense of unity and peace through millions of years of it. Personal Freedoms:Extremely high. Foreign Relations: Have barely made contact.
Technology Focus: Environmental / Exploration Ship Exploration Technology: Rift-Field Space Manipulation. "Rift-space". It is unknown how this is achieved, due to its -highly- classified status.
Planets Spanned: 6 Preferred Climate: Paradise Worlds - they have been terraformed over millennia to be so. Oceans: Wide oceans on every planet. Mountains: Not a lot of, but the ones that stand are very tall. Wild Animals: Moderate Natural Resources: A lot of them. Highly Values: Peace, Unity, Understanding and Love. Known For: Nothing yet. Respected Profession: Medical / Artist / Author. Discrimination: None. Major Taboo: The desire to murder another. Major Social Ill: Xenophobia
Life Expectancy: 103-142 Gender Ratio: 1:3 - There are three times as many females across the entire population. Females play a major role in the military, both as soldiers and naval personnel - but mainly serving on ships. Fertility Rate: Extremely High.
It is also worth noting that the Qetësi posess very advanced terraforming technology - giving them the ability to effectively regenerate a planet. This is costly however, but has been practiced widely in their home system.
SHIP TECHNOLOGY Vanq'us-made 'Anval' Heavy Cruiser
Spoiler:
ARMOUR RATING: Strong. WEAPONRY [All of which expand out of armoured ports in the hull]: Two QA-33 Tachyon Long-Cannons, Thirty QA-L-12 Point Defence Turrets. SHIELDING: Single Core / Medium Strength
Qetësi-made 'Dreluftanije' Heavy Battleship / Capital Ship
Spoiler:
ARMOUR RATING: Very strong. WEAPONRY [All of which expand out of armoured ports in the hull]: Twelve QA-33 Tachyon Long-Cannons, Sixty QA-L-12 Point Defence Turrets, Four QA-25 Tachyon Equalizer Turrets. SHIELDING: Double core / Very strong.
Vanq'us-made 'Anë' Titan Dreadnought
Spoiler:
ARMOUR RATING: Incredibly strong.

There are currently only three of these ships in active service, and only those have ever been built. One patrols two close planets, the Kalgor and Vanq'us homeworlds whilst the other is kept stationed at the Qetësi homeworld as a failsafe defence mechanism. They possess the means to leave for another system, but it is unlikely they will unless faced by dire emergency.
The third, the Qëllim - flagship of the Qetësi fleet - is wherever the venerable qe-Lajmëtar wills it.
CURRENT SERVING ROYAL COMMANDER OF THE CAPITAL SHIP The current capital ship is the "Qëllim", an Anë-class Titan Dreadnought and the third off the line.
The honourable Royal Commander, Inari qe-Relëi commands it.
