Militaristic Society
|
The Metians are a race that thrive on conquest and battle. Universal dominance is their primary goal.
They move from planet to planet, system to system, conquering other races. What they lack in strength they make up for in numbers. This race is so old that they have overpopulated not only their own home planet but many of the other planets that they have conquered.
Metian society is based on equality for males and females. Metians are encouraged to work at their talents and improve them. In order for society to be efficient everyone must do their best at what they're best at. Education is free for all who want it. Child raising and educating is a social effort. Metian government is a system of General type military leaders that reside over certain areas. The Generals must come from the region they reside over and must have full knowledge of the regions strengths and weaknesses socially, politically, environmentally, industrially, etc. Generals can appoint Elite Hunters to assist in the management of sub-regions.
The military is an important part of Metian society. Service is not required but those who do participate in military activities especially at active post are honored. The history of the Metian military is taught from a young age and though not expected of all Metians, military service is encouraged. It is every Metians responsibility to protect and advance Metian society.
Metians have advanced technology which helps them in their conquest. Rarely if ever are Metians seen with out their armor. Their armor is a self-sufficient personal environment. Powered by a crystal shard generator the suit can last for a lifetime and longer. The suit is a self contained environment enabling the wearer to cross different terrain as well as operate is outer space. The suits are designed according to the rank of the soldiers wearing them. Almost every suit is equipped with a crystal shard heat rod. The rod is to be used as a last resort weapon and will quickly deplete the generator leaving the suit useless and the wearer almost unprotected. When activated the rod also activates a distress beacon.
Armor equipped weaponry is heavily based on the use of crystal shard firing weapons. Highly compressed air is usually the propellant. Energy weapons are used in hand to hand combat and most have short range.
Metian society could be compared to that of an ant or bee colony.
