- The Piavene Empire -
The Piavene Home Planet
Two phrases are common when referring to the Piavene, "Size always matters" and "Expansion and Gain are the names of the game". While very small in their imperialistic efforts, and in technological gain, the Piavene are ready to go to great lengths to become great. While this may make them sound like ruthless expansionists the Piavene can be found to be very willing to negotiate at points, but if a politician or commander sees something that their race needs, they will go to great lengths to achieve it, and violence is the least of those. The Imperial government of the Piavene makes these policies universal, it is currently run by Emperor Ch'arsh. The Emperor makes the large decisions that are then filtered through the bureaucracy from rank to rank, until the orders reach those that need to hear them. These people have only recently discovered other peoples, and are willing to work with them to grow.

Troops: Scouts
Spoiler:
Scouts are not preferred fighting units of the Piavene, they wear L'yuir light armor, and rely on stealth and sniper tactics to defeat their foes. In combat, they operate in teams of 4, two snipers, and two spotters. They are generally used to protect colonies, since they can cover large areas with a few people, act as scouts, and provide sniper support.
Gear L'yuir Composite Armor Made of several layered plates of metal with air pockets inside. This armor cannot stop most small arms, but is more than effective against knives and pistols.
The All Purpose Long Range Rifle or APLLR

It uses diamond tipped slugs, which can only be loaded at a decent rate by a team of two, the rifle is carried by the shooter, while the spotter carries the shells, along with a Small Slug Rifle, or SSR.
The SSR Designed as a light weapon for those who cannot carry anything larger, or are not supposed to, such as ship security, and maintenance personnel close to combat areas.
Heavy Infantry
Spoiler:
Warriors Warriors are the staple unit of any Piavene force, when concerning large conflicts. They are most useful when boarding ships, but their armor and equipment makes them great fighters on land. They wear heavy U'Tunke armor, and use large Projectile weapons.
Gear U'Tunke armor A heavy suit of armor that is made out of super-heated then cooled rock, which, after the process is repeated many times, becomes harder than most metals. Advanced models are completely sealed, and have a closed-circuit respiratory system, but standard issue ones simply have a gas filter. Still, the suit is impervious to many types of weapons, but can still be brought down by them with focused fire.
The Heavy Slug Thrower or HST The HST just fires large slugs at high speeds, these are also diamond-tipped.
Notable Piavenians Emperor Ch'arsh The current emperor of the empire, he got to that position mainly through backstabbing, but is a decisive and capable leader.
Commander Y'hrish The commander of the Pievenian expeditionary force, which is supposed to claim new planets and technologies, he captains the Yiu'rash flagship which will be the first to be modified when new technologies are found. The force has three ships, and three captains(Other than the flag-ship.
Captain Gh'ios Captain of one of the Yiu'rash ships, happends to be indecisive, but knows people in high places, Y'hrish is smart enough to keep him in the back of conflicts.
Captain T'phrash Captain of the other Yiu'rash, can be rash at times, but gets the job done.
Captain D'lhrd The captain of the only scout cruiser which the force uses, while rarely good to the point of standing out, he does his job at the minimium.
**50 YEAR CHANGES**
The Piavenians have been pretty silent throughout the years, but show particular intrest in the Aturors, and the threat they posses. They have colonised two new planets, adding agriculture, lumber and precious metals to their list of harvested and exported goods. Their technology has advanced too, but old warships are still produced and in use, most of their advancements either saved for a time in need, or still in development.

Jesus Christ. That carrier goes overboard on everything, and then goes even further. 35000 meters long? That's over 20 miles! How does it stay together?!
Your other ships are extremely huge, too. Tone it down, sheesh.
