Military Reform and Equipment Improvement Program- Ongoing

The Copper Republic is having a large military reform, with the most notable changes being:
-Major changes in gear; most equipment is being remade,
-Change from 4 years of training to 5 years; this will make soldiers much better,
-Improved production of soldiers and machinery; numbers of units will double or even triple.

MagNet Detected Alien Activity on Mangalorian Surface
MagNet detected strange towers being built on the poles and the equator. The old "friends" of the CR are finally back. Plan C is coming along perfectly...

The Copper Republic is currently at its highest, with fast antimatter production via particle accelerators, the Black Sail space station and most importantly with the [DATA CLASSIFIED]. The Republic is also going through a major military reform in proper to defend against the incoming Marauders. It will improve ALL CR’s weaponry to be one of the best in the entire Cluster.

The Copper Republic, also called the Mangalorian Republic, is an advanced civilization that is stated on a planet called Mangalore, that orbits around the Aquila Boreas system. The system is a part of the so called "Cluster", a set of four-star systems (one being Aquila Boreas).

The civilization is made by Mangalorians. They have a presidential democracy. The current president is Anderson v' Vall.

The main resource on Mangalore is mostly copper, which is not that ideal for space-traveling vessels, so how are they able to build them? Because they don't use copper in the first place. They use an advanced alloy called Mandarine Alloy. How did they create it? Before its creation, they used normal titanium. With the titanium, they built space vessels able to transport asteroids to mining depots to deconstruct them, yielding many useful minerals like even more titanium, gold, and many unknown substances like the so called "Rotenite". With some of these minerals they created Mandarine Alloy.

In standard year 3107 (today is standard year 3121) the war between Barland and the Incursion ended. It resulted in Barland becoming the most powerful nation on Mangalore. In 3108 the Mangalore Merging Project (MMP) was created. It made all nations on Mangalore to merge, creating the Copper Republic. The governments decided this was an exceptionally good decision as they considered merging all civilization's nations into one was crucial for further expansion.

As of this change, the Copper Republic started rapidly expanding. It invested particularity in research and development of technologies. Many new where discovered, granting possibilities for the Copper Republic to expand even further. There was also focus on developing the military. Resistance against their rapid expansion was expected, so it would be handy to have a decent military force. No resistance has arisen though.

The third of May 3120, Anderson v' Vall was elected for president. He still is currently Copper Republic's president and this is not likely to change for a long time, as thanks to his decisions life on Mangalore has gotten much better. Many think that having a single leader that rules over the whole civilization is foolish and may create chaos. In this case, the Copper Republic's president serves only a representative purpose. Vall however has a much higher impact on the decisions of the Republic due to his military experience and that the Republic can highly rely on him.

Mangalore is a planet 6.364km in radius and with about 9,79m/s² of gravitational acceleration. It has a toxic atmosphere, preventing invaders from... invading. The average temperature on Mangalore is 41°C (100,4°F), which gives the planet a hot climate. The temperature on Mangalore slowly rises, with one 1°C every two to three months. It is unknown what causes this to happen.

It also has a natural satellite called Niver. It is a lifeless and barren wasteland. It has an atmosphere however, which is composed out of sulfur. It is a reliable source of a metal named Desh. Normally prehistoric plants die and they get burrowed. Then they decompose and get compressed, becoming coal. Desh is: "a light and flexible metal. Its surface is very reminiscent of coal." It most probably was weird plant at some point.

This all leads to a conclusion that Niver was an archipelago thriving with plant life and other organisms, but then an unknown catastrophe struck, leaving the moon as the wasteland we all know today.



Niver looking as dead as always.

Mangalorians are intelligent humanoid species that live in the Copper Republic. Their scale-like skin has a saturated orange-brown color. Their hair is mostly black or very deep brown, but also blond is far from uncommon. They are very resistant to gasses other species count as poisonous, like mustard gas.

Standards of life in the CR are remarkably high. MagNet (internet) can be accessed everywhere on the planet, meaning that citizens can easily communicate with one another. Crime rates are minimal, as police forces are very frequent in cities and most Mangalorians are above that. There are no un-employed or homeless people, as 98% of the entire population has a job and an accommodation. There are many engineers, electricians, physicists, scientists and overall, very educated people, thus explaining the CR’s technological superiority over many other civilizations.

Behaviour
Citizens are very friendly to each other and other races. The only potentially offensive thing they might say to another race’s citizen is a little, non-serious joke.

Language
To communicate with other races, they use the Standard Communications Language, or just called Standard, which is English. Mangalorians have their own language, which is called Pretanese, as it was created by Pretania. It is a mix of modern English and German, and in some cases Dutch.

Religion
Mangalorians have a religion, but it is not as frequently present as in the old times. Mangalorians just treat their religion as an instance that shows them how to be a good person.

Clothing
Because of the hot climate on Mangalore, Mangalorians wear jackets, T-Shirts, jeans and sometimes shorts. They are also known for wearing masks all the time. This is because for two reasons. One: even native species that evolved on Mangalore are not fully immune to its toxic atmosphere; it is very easy for Mangalorians to get infected when not wearing a mask. Two: because of pollution that exists in large cities and settlements.

Settlements
Studies have shown over 75% land on Mangalore is a settlement. Large cities are quite common. The largest ones are built in the Rocklands, more specifically- Rock Basins. They are large, flat areas surrounded by hills and mountains. This grants a natural protection for cities, as no known ground-based vehicle would be able to climb these formations. Cities that happen to not be situated in one of these basins use not only a thick but simple brick wall, but also Reaction Fields. Reaction Fields are large areas which upon activation emit extremely high heats, which evaporates any object that happens to be on one of these.

Other Data
Average IQ: 164
Average Height: 185cm (6ft)
Average Life-Span: 100 SY

The Copper Republic has its own flag. The gear represents Copper Republic's technological superiority, the white represents its passiveness, and the copper representing its military power. The colors passing the gear means that military power and passiveness co-operates with technology.

The Copper Republic is a surprisingly good militarily developed civilization. They utilize top-tech gear that can destroy practically anything. Their most favorite weapon are ICBM missiles. They picture them as a staple of their military. No other civilization in the Cluster has so well-developed self-propelled munitions. They utilize professionally trained soldiers with advanced equipment. When a war starts all people that are between 27 and 48 years old are issued to join the military.

Numbers
The Republic is currently undergoing a military reform, that is also increasing the number of soldiers from 2,2 million to 12 million or even more if needed.

Equipement
The Copper Republic has classified all information about military equipment to prevent copying from other civilizations.

Types of Warshuttles
Warshuttles are space equivalents to warships. They are large spaceships with multiple purposes.

From smallest to largest:
Corvettes- the smallest warshuttle type, they are fast and maneuverable ships.
Destroyers- these are used to escort larger warshuttles. They are often armed with autocannons and silos that fire small guided missiles.
Frigates- a medium sized ship. Most often used for granting additional firepower to cruisers and battleships.
Cruiser- a smaller version of the battleship. Used to protect the capital ship.
Battleship- a powerful warshuttle able to cause the most damage, their armament are most often high-caliber cannons. If no larger ship is present, they take the role of a capital ship.
Carrier- a warshuttle used for carrying, arming, deploying, and recovering fighter-class spacecraft. They most often take the role of the capital ship, as there are the largest ships in a conventional fleet.
Supercarriers- even though none have been built yet, they are much larger versions of a regular carrier.

Elite Forces
The Copper Republic has many different special operations forces and military agencies, but the most notable are:

Whiplash
The Whiplash has elite soldiers that wear dark, badass looking combat armor and utilize advanced equipment. They primarily use the Whiplash Attack tactic, which revolves around a fast and devastating attack. Every soldier has 4 years of specialized military training, and is older than 30.



The Borderlockers
Elite soldiers trained for the most secret operations. They can be used as infiltrators, negotiators, interrogators, inspectors and much more. These units are also used for protecting Copper Republic's political leaders such as the president or the marshal, their families, and homes. They know all languages, including Cutternian, Batonian, Kreaggerian and many more. They are most often older than 30 and have an officer rank. They also wear these badass looking black capes and a GI-C7 helmet-non-combat cap combo.



The Plague
The Plague is made of elite, genetically modified soldiers called Plague Doctors. Their organism can fix breached blood veins very quickly, making them unable to bleed. They don’t need nearly as much oxygen as normal Mangalorians, as they need only about 20% of the regular amount of oxygen, however they can still breathe in a normal atmosphere. They possess strong regeneration, making them much more durable than regular soldiers. One of the most notable abilities of Plague Doctors is their improved reflex and agility, making them able to easily dodge melee attacks. They have a hidden “sixth sense”, which is detecting incoming danger like an attack from behind. Even with many bullet wounds and other damage, Plague Doctors are capable of combat, as they are extremely resistant to pain and shock. Plague Doctors are experienced in chemistry and biology, being the reason why they primarily use chemical weapons like Mallitite tipped bullets and knifes. They themselves are fully immune to Mallitite and diseases. They are most often older than 30 years old and have an officer rank. Plague Doctors have many roles, they are great at tackling infected or biologically enhanced enemies. During an epidemic they help with working on a cure to the disease. If they find it, they are commissioned to treat infected citizens to cure them. There is also a variant of Plague Doctors, being Plague Snipers. They are as well genetically modified, possessing the same abilities. Plague Snipers are skilled marksmen that take out enemies from afar and are excellent assassins.

The Copper Republic was the first faction to mine asteroids for resources. They constructed vessels to capture asteroids and bring them to mining stations orbiting nearby asteroid belts.

Other Celestial Bodies
The Copper Republic has discovered and analyzed all celestial bodies that contain intelligent life in the Starpoint cluster. They all have been identified by the Copper Republic as homes to their respective races. Other major celestial bodies are quickly detected by the Copper Republic, after which they send probes to analyze the object. Then they log its existence and their location in the cluster. The Republic has entire maps showing each major planet and star in the cluster.

The Atom Rearranger
Recently, the Copper Republic discovered a very weird object on their planet. A rhombus-shaped machine. In an approximately 200m radius from the machines core, everything was changed into steel. The trees, the ground, everything. The Copper Republic was able to successfully hijack it, turning it off. After a bit of research, the Copper Republic discovered that the machine had a code in it. It was a template of a particle of steel. They replaced it with a template of a mandarine alloy particle, activated it, and in about 48 standard hours the steel changed into mandarine alloy. This means that the machine can change a substance into another substance given enough time. This made the Copper Republic able to have infinite mandarine alloy. The machine was transported into a sealed area where the object could rearrange substances without damaging anything else in the process. All information about the object is unavailable, only specific personnel know about its existence, like the marshal or the president. The origin nor the creation date of the machine is known. It was definitely not built by any known civilizations that lived in the Starpoint cluster, as none have the tech that advanced. Scans show that it has about 3000 years. Thanks to The Atom Rearranger, the Copper Republic has much more resources it can use.



Dyson Swarm
Plans to build a Dyson Swarm around Aquila Boreas, built out of small satellites that harvest infinite energy are in the works. Every developed civilization is going to receive a part of the Dyson Swarm for personal use. Confirmation for building the Swarm from other factions are still yet to come.

IHSVT
Another instance of advanced Mangalorian tech is their extremely efficient and compact FTL engines. Their full name is Interstellar Hyperlight Superplasma Vacuum Thrusters. They utilize a substance called superplasma achieved using Rotenite, which reaches otherworldly temperatures. It is theorized that these can melt spacetime itself. They are also very compact, can go as small as 75cm by 75cm in size. IHSVTs are used in nearly all Mangalorian vessels.


MagNet
MagNet is a complex network of satellites that orbit Mangalore. It is mainly used for commercial use, like television. But it also can be used for military operations. MagNet is able to find anything, and launch an ICBM at it. It also monitors the whole planet. MagNet is able to locate enemy bases, vehicles, armies, and even singular targets.

MagNet is also capable of self-defense. Every single satellite is equipped with a Plasmatic Beam Cannon, which makes it able to destroy enemy ships that get to close (too close being over 1000km).

Terrance and Danny
Assisting MagNet are Terrance and Danny, two sentient AIs used to inspect messages sent through MagNet to other planets. Terrance is able to check if a message contains top-secret data that cannot be sent to other planets. This is made to prevent spies from sending important data to other civilizations. A problem arises if data is encoded, making Terrance ineffective. This is where Danny comes in. He is able to decode literally anything, no matter its complexity. After decoding he then sends the message back to Terrance, who checks the decoded message if any suspicious data is included. Both AIs act insanely quickly and are able to inspect millions if not billions of messages at a time. For more information check the Privacy and Defense section.

Mallitite
Copper Republic's R&D has recently discovered a new liquid substance; Mallitite. It is extremely hazardous and corrosive. Injecting it into a living organism will result in it being instantly killed and literally melted. Even its gasses are extremely lethal. It was also discovered that Mallitite is extremely effective against Hive’s mutations. They simply evaporate in contact with Mallitie, making it a very useful weapon against the Hive. Its major downside of Mallitite is its complex production and high cost, however Mallitite is constantly being researched and new, more efficient ways to produce it are discovered. Bullets can be tipped with Mallitite.

Standard Time Counting System
Standard Years where invented by the Copper Republic and are used all over the Cluster. One standard year is exactly 365 days. Today is SY (Standard Year) 3121.

The NTD Security System
The NTD security system is the ultimate security system. It is extremely useful in androids and computers, which makes them unable to be hacked into. Digital currency can also be kept safe by NTD. Even the most sophisticated computer in the entire Starpoint Cluster entered critical state when trying to hack into the system. This security system was implemented into computers, banks, and basically everything, making the CR invulnerable against hacking attacks. NTD was not made by Mangalorians, but rather by a yet to be discovered race...

A giant, massive object was discovered orbiting around Luvunov (Vela Alcyoneus's main star) around the habitable zone. At closer glance it seemed like a large gas giant, with multiple moons orbiting around it. The gas giant was named Wardenios and has 24 different moons, five of them able to support life. Wardenios officially Copper Republic's property. The Copper Republic claims the ownership of Wardenios and all of its moons. The Copper Republic heavily co-operates with Wardenios's inhabitants and will protect them. Any attempt of taking over the celestial body or its moons will result in war.

List of Wardenios and its moons:

Wardenios
A large, blue-brown gas giant. Its atmosphere is made out of around 40% hydrogen, 20% oxygen, 10% nitrogen, 10% chlorine and 18% Xenon Gas. The rest 2% are many other gasses. As a fact, a human is technically able to breathe on it, excluding the enormous atmospheric pressure and powerful winds, and of course the hydrogen that may catch on fire.

Studies have shown that the gas giant has... an ocean, and in fact, a surface. After passing the extremely dense clouds, you can see a giant body of liquid covering the entire planet, with massive floating island-like boulders (these do not count as a surface). The composition of the ocean is unknown, nor the composition of the surface. Scans report that the ocean may be made out of ammonia-rich liquid water, and the underwater surface may be rich in substances like uranium, gold, platinum and titanium.

List of the main moons of Wardenios:

Alpha
It is Wardenio's largest moon. It is also in fact habitable. It has a surface covered in dense foliage, and it also has large seas. Its temperature ranges from 29°C (84.2°F) to 36°C (96.8°F). Its mass is 98% of Mangalore's mass.

Alpha is home to the Alphalians, offensively called Peamen or Peas. They are humanoid, they have light-green skin and elf-like ears, making them similar to stereotypical goblins. They are vegetarian, that means they only eat vegetables, fruits and plants. Due to their chloroplast-rich skin, they are also capable of photosynthesis, although it is not enough to keep them sustained. Alphalians have early space age technology, making them able to fly to all Wardenios's moons, which they in fact did.

Beta
Wardenio's second largest moon. Its whole surface is covered in a giant body of water. The largest land masses on Beta are only 2km x 2km. They are also very rare. Average temperature: 31°C (87.8°F).

Home to the Betalians. They are humanoid mammals that adapted to breathe in water and on land. They have an aerodynamic head and flipper-like feet, making them able to quickly swim in water. They are able to build large oil rig-like structures, and they can construct houses, fabrics, military bases and other buildings on them.

Gamma
Fourth largest moon of Wardenios. It is a rocky and volcanic wasteland; ironically actual intelligent life was able to appear on it. Average temperature: 48°C (118.4°F). Its surface is composed not only of ash, but also iron, coal, platinum and plutonium.

Home to the Gammalians. They are humanoid beetles that wear power armor. As bizarre is it is, they are a pretty advanced race, being able to produce the strongest and most advanced of weaponry.

Delta
A geostationary moon, which means that always only one side of the moon is facing Wardenios (similarly to the Earth and its Moon). It is a swampy moon with lots of meadows and wetlands.

Deltalians live on it. The Copper Republic is yet to establish any positive contact with the Deltalians. All attempts of landing on Delta were terminated by supposedly GtA (Ground to Air) missiles and all ships sent by the Copper Republic had to evacuate. The munitions didn't react to any aerial infrared countermeasures, which means the missiles work on a different principal when it comes to targeting enemies. One ship with two pilots and one security guard was shot down, and all connection with it was lost. The ship has yet to be recovered and its crew was probably killed by Deltalians. Because of this we still can't identify what they are.

Omega
The third largest moon of Wardenios. It has no atmosphere and has a red, rocky surface. So that means it cannot support life, right? False. Probes sent to Omega have successfully discovered that there are colossal underground cave systems with oxygen and nitrogen, which means they are probably habitable, though it is unknown if it has any intelligent life. The red tint of the planet's surface is the result of high amounts of rusty iron that the surface is composed of.

List of other moons of Wardenios:

Epsilon
-A moon with multiple lava pools and lava seas, no atmosphere. Mainly composed out of basalt, granite and aluminum.

Zeta
-Icy and cold. Has a ring made out of ice cubes. No atmosphere. It is a great source of ice and water.

Eta
-Referred to as a giant lump of titanium and tin.

Theta
-A rocky and crater-full planet. Mainly composed out of copper.

Iota
-A pretty large moon with a thin atmosphere made out of sulfur. It has tons of Ion and Tritium.

Kappa
-A large ball of uranium. Has a dense atmosphere made out of hydrogen, about 135km high.

Lambda
-One explorer made a joke that this remote rock is the exact definition of "nowhere".

Mu
-Just Mu. It is questioned whether or not it is an actual moon, or is it just a large asteroid. Has two even smaller celestial bodies orbiting around it, being Nu and Xi.

Nu
-Orbits around Mu. Made out of coal and diamonds.

Xi
-A very weird and unknown moon, it is boiling hot and is extremely radioactive. It is advised to orbit it at a minimal of 10km above its surface, or even not orbit it at all, as sometimes it may spit out large volumes of magma at a range of 20km.

Omicron
-Has a corrosive surface. Has many ponds of acid.

Pi
-Nothing special, an asteroid.

Rho
-Also nothing special, an asteroid.

Sigma
-Asteroid.

Tau
-Asteroid.

Upsilon
-Large asteroid.

Phi
-Almost a moon, but still an asteroid.

Chi
-A very large asteroid, has an extremely thin atmosphere made out of oxygen.

Psi
-Orbits around Chi, an asteroid.

The Copper Republic also created a federation that unites the races of Alpha, Beta and Gamma, called the Wardenios Federation. Here for more information.

A planet orbiting at the outer rims of the Paragon Lund star system was discovered by the Copper Republic. Called Hemodis, it is a small planet 4.271km in diameter, with no atmosphere and a rocky surface. It is a very unsettling place. Its surface temperature is –271 °C (-455.8 °F). It is very dark on Hemodis, as it is so far away from its two stars. Small electrical discharges may occur on Hemodis, their cause is unknown.

This leads to a conclusion that Hemodis is not worth mentioning and is not very notable, but one fact invalidates this claim. Hemodis has an 8,42km high mountain. Its top produces a radio signal, which appears to be some kind of transmission. Most of the transmission is just static, but every 4 standard days at 8:00 PM instead of static a unique recording is transmitted. The recordings are different every time. How they exactly sound is yet to be revealed. The source of the transmission is unknown, as the point from which the signal is emitted produces extreme radiation in a range of 40km. The Copper Republic is still researching this phenomenon.


Hemodis in all of its glory.

The Copper Republic detected a 4km in diameter large object, which appeared to be some kind of celestial body, orbiting around the Asteropaios Void star system. At first glance it seemed like a black hole, but it was vastly different. It had little to no gravitational pull, and its “surface” instead of a black, empty void, it resembled a view from space.

It was identified as a wormhole. It is unknown where the wormhole teleports, but reports state that MagNet connections need to lead through the wormhole. The DTaLS (Distance Tracking and Logging System, an appliance that calculates the distance between two objects) noted that the distance between the ship that gotten through the wormhole and Mangalore was... absolute infinity.

Two theories were made about this fact: the first being that the distance is too large for the DTaLS and it simply causes it to malfunction. The second, more exiting theory, is that the DTaLS works perfectly fine, and the fact that the distance is absolute infinity means that the wormhole perhaps leads to... another universe...

The wormhole is owned by the Copper Republic and any ship that will attempt going through it will be destroyed. Currently, the wormhole is just called The Wormhole, maybe a name will be made for it in the future.

The Wormhole closed on September 30th, and no ship is able to travel through. It is unknown if the Wormhole will ever open again.

The Copper Republic conquered other celestial bodies in the cluster.

Utis
Utis is a terrestrial planet in the Aquila Boreas star system. It is not habitable, as the composition of its atmosphere is approximately 34% oxygen, making most intelligent species like the Mangalorians unable to breathe on it. No intelligent life was detected on Utis yet. Currently Utis is just an extraction source for the Copper Republic to access resources from. It is heavily defended by MagNet, like most other celestial bodies owned by the Copper Republic do.



Current Name: Utis

Stryke 766
Not exactly colonized nor conquered, there is a large space station in Stryke 766’s orbit, and a smaller one in Nauria 766’s orbit, which is Stryke's moon. The Copper Republic is aware of the fact that the Tribalians inhabit this moon, and have plans to befriend this civilization in the future.



Current Name: Stryke 766
Size: 16.975km in diameter

All Copper Republic’s inhabitants must obey the laws below. They are treated very seriously by the government and if they are not obeyed, the criminals will be sentenced to jail or sometimes even worse.

Basic Laws: no stealing, no murdering, no sexual relations with minors nor animals, no incest. Punishment won’t be executed if killing someone was an act of self-defense. No sexual relations with external species.

All civilians are allowed to enter the military, with the requirement being 5 years of professional training. If one has a high enough rank, one can choose a specialization they are willing to have, such as pyrotechnics.

All civilians have to attend to a school to get a certificate if they want to use a gun. One cannot have mental issues or hostile behavior to allow usage of a firearm. There are set rules for what weapons civilians can carry. The caliber cannot be higher than 9mm and cannot be automatic.

An industry can be created only with the permission of the military. All actions taken by an industry have to be allowed by the military before they are executed. Outsiders from other planets are not allowed to create an industry. If one is found it will be quickly taken down, resulting the owner being closed in jail.

Government
Just like the name says, the Copper Republic is a republic, with a president that is its leader and representative. Every two years an election is held, where all adult men and women can vote for their candidate. The previous president can also be a candidate, and they can keep their place as the president if they win the election. The president serves only a representative purpose and has almost no ability to rule, but exceptions can be made like with Anderson v' Vall. The government of the CR is extremely stable, as decisions made by the republic have to be accepted by the parlament, the military and the president before being executed.

Economy
Economy Type: Capitalism+

Copper Republic's economy is similar to regular capitalism, though there are some significant changes that help with Copper Republic's economical stability.

⚙B (Gear Brand)- most common form of currency in the Copper Republic.
Value: 4,4 USD

⚙C (Gear Coin)- the second most common form of currency in the Copper Republic.
Value: 0,44 USD

Most physical money is slowly replaced by currency digitally stored in plastic cards. Thanks to the NTD security system, banks are virtually jmpossible to hack into.

There are many threats in the Cluster, and the Copper Republic knows that. To avoid potential invaders or spies, the planet is in permanent lockdown. Civilians are able to leave and enter the planet only with permission from the military. MagNet greatly helps with that. If it detects an object that managed to escape the atmosphere of Mangalore, it will fire a Ground-to-Orbit missile at it that is nearly unavoidable.

The same goes for entering the Copper Republic. MagNet is also able to detect objects that enter Mangalore's SoI (Sphere of Influence). If the object does not have permission to enter Mangalore, a Ground-to-Orbit missile will be launched at it, most likely destroying it.

Arguably, no object is capable of leaving nor entering Mangalore's SoI without being detected by MagNet.

All connections and messages that come from Mangalore are monitored by Terrance, an extremely complex, advanced and sentient AI that analyzes all the data sent. If it identifies top-secret information, it will know exactly when, where and by who it was sent. The military will be instantly informed of this, and will send CRIC (Copper Republic Investigation of Crime) units at the location. No matter the importance of the information the sender will be closed in jail for a very long time, sometimes permanently. If the crime is severe enough the sender will even be sentenced to death and executed. What about sending data not directly through MagNet, but personal satellites? That won’t work either, as MagNet captures all signals sent from Mangalore, they don’t have to be sent directly.

If a spy if found however, before any act of violence or judgement, the spy will be offered to act as a double agent, sending fake data to the civilization they work for. This makes the Copper Republic able to manipulate the enemy in many ways. The Copper Republic will identify the civilization the spy worked for through interrogation and if fails, in other means. The spies' civilization will have a war declared against them.

Copper Republic's government tries its best to make the Copper Republic a free nation, however the Cluster does not accept this kind of kind of civilization and special actions have to be taken to ensure safety for the Copper Republic.

Behavior
The Copper Republic's relations are driven by a rule: never declare war first. As long as a civilization isn't against or aggressive towards the Copper Republic, it attempts to keep up good relations with them. The Copper Republic also respects other civilizations, which does not necessarily mean the others share the same feeling. Until a civilization isn’t considered a threat, the Republic will co-exist with it.

Things They Dislike
Unlike some other factions, the CR is a very "laid back" civilization. Jokes and making fun out of the Republic by other civilizatons is ignored, as it is considered below their level and isn't important enough for the Republic to investigate. Mangalorians are not egoistic and are not offended by rumors/stereotypes. Open threatening of the Republic will be noticed however.

Spies/Espionage. Even though they used spies once, they never appreciated the idea of espionage, and they consider sending spies a cowardly move that can be accepted at incredibly rare circumstances.

Comparisons of them to other civilization (for instance: we are supreme to you in every aspect). This again is a situation where the enemy lacks the courage to declare war. The CR likes to comment that, for instance: “You are calling sticks and rocks supreme to ICBM’s?” or “Perhaps you should declare war on us to prove that.”

The major companies, agencies and other industries in the Copper Republic are:

AVAR Corporation
Year of creation: SY 3108
Simply called AVAR, it is the largest company on Mangalore, they produce nearly all appliances used by the Copper Republic. It was founded in standard year 3108 by Josh v' Cannel.

Gunpowder Inc.
Year of creation: SY 3103
Produces all firearms used by the Copper Republic, and not only. It is known for pioneering in many firearm designing technologies.

Magnodyne
Year of creation: SY 3118
A private space agency that is responsible for creating MagNet, which was later bought by CRISP.

CRISP
Year of creation: SY 3108
CRISP means Copper Republic Interstellar Space Program. This company is owned by the Copper Republic itself and is used for doing anything space related.

CRIC
Year of creation: SY 3108
(Copper Republic Investigation of Crime) is an agency used by the Copper Republic to enforce law and deal with criminals that are on a much larger level, being too dangerous for regular police. This includes mafias, criminal industries and criminals like spies that originate from other civilizations.

Here are the most notable people that live in the Copper Republic.

Anderson v' Vall
Age: 39 SY
Year of Birth: 3082 SY
Status: Alive



Born in a small town Torlin, he is Copper Republic's president. He does not only serve a representative purpose, due to his military skill and knowledge he is able to have influence and control over factors that most other presidents cannot have. He is highly respected among the Cluster and is an instance of a competent and good leader.

Martin v' Claystone
Age: 55 SY
Year of Birth: 3066 SY
Status: Alive



Born in Copper Republic's capital Bar. He is Copper Republic's marshal, which commands the military and the space navy. He is extrimely skilled in warfare and tactics, similarily to Charles Bauer or Tezal Satin. He has a quite controversial opinion about Copper Republic's current politics. In his opinion the Copper Republic does not fit well in this kind of place, which is the Cluster. A free nation like this just isn't able to sustain itself and survive for a longer period. He thinks a great example of a great formula for a civilization are the Cutternians, their government being a stratocracy. The best idea would be a major reform of the Copper Republic, converting it into a stratocracy.

Josh v' Cannel
Age: 37 SY
Year of Birth: 3084 SY
Status: Alive



Born in the Barlandian city Yuta. At the age of 21 he started a business as a car repairing company. It was pretty successful, the word about his industry quickly circulated the nation. After the end of the Barland-Incursion war, Josh knew that after the conflict a crisis and equipment shortage would emerge. He started producing machinery that could be used in vehicles and for other means. His strategy worked, and AVAR earned a huge profit. He then used the money to improve his production like buying more factories. Currently he is a multi-millionaire.

Jebediah v' Wedgen
Age: 38 SY
Year of Birth: 3083 SY
Status: Alive



Jebediah v’ Wedgen is one of the best soldiers the Copper Republic has. He joined the late stages of the war in his early 20, fighting for Barland. He had proven himself to be a very good soldier on the battlefield. The founder and leader of division Thunderwarrior, an elite unit composed of commandoes that operate behind enemy lines. Jebediah is also injected with the PEV virus, which enchances his strengh and survivability.

“Ambition. Determination. Perseverance. Patriotism. All these traits shaped Jebediah v’ Wedgen as a strong and fearless warrior he is today.” -Anderson v’ Vall, SY 3120

“We were in trenches... we couldn’t even look out of them because of snipers that destroyed anybody that even poked a finger out of the trench. Stuck, I ordered all of my troops to wait until reinforcements show up... I looked at private v’ Wedgen. They were seeming to be planning something. I looked away and after a few seconds there was no v’ Wedgen anywhere to be seen. After some time, I heard screams and gunfire from the enemy trench. One soldier looked out and said to me: “Sir! Look!”. I standed up and saw v’ Wedgen killing 16 of enemy troops with a single grenade... and THEN he pulled the pin, killing another 6 enemy soldiers.” -Lieutenant Kyle v’ Antson, SY 3118

Otto v' Bonvell
Age: 42 SY
Year of Birth: 3079 SY
Status: Alive



Bonvell is a well known chemist in the RnD. He has a degree in chemistry and was the one that discovered Mallitite, the PEV virus and many other substances and materials the Copper Republic uses. Knows many things about chemistry and is very experienced. Otto absolutely hates Cutternians, their ideology and morals.

Colonies are used by the Copper Republic to be present on the star system the colony is located in. They are used exclusively by the military, they are used for trading, mining, defending and research. Making colonies for the Copper Republic is not exactly "Splitting a large target into smaller ones", as they are resource-wise independent from the rest of the Republic; all equipment is produced in the colony by itself. Only occasionally supplies may be delivered to them.

Vela Alcyoneus
A colony was estabilished on a giant space station (even larger than Black Sail). It orbits around Wardenios, a large gas giant.

If you have any suggestions feel free to write a comment.

-"Our warfare does not have a set tactic. Every subject requires its own treatment. One thing connects them all though; everything the enemy does may be used against the enemy itself." -Martin v’ Claystone, SY 3121
