| ==History== | | ==Classification and Characteristics== |
| Roughly 10 million [[Humans (A1-0)|Terran]] colonists arrived on the planet HD-8762-III in 1231 Post Diaspora with the sleeper ship [[Zamolxis (A1-0)|''Zamolxis'']]. However, their long journey wasn't without troubles as the ship had travelled through different anomalies which tampered with the ships computer and navigational systems. Eventually they arrived at their perceived destination and began colonization efforts. First by retrofitting the [[Zamolxis (A1-0)|''Zamolxis'']] into a city and this happened at the site that later would become the city of [[Landing (A1-0)|Landing]]. Many Boers would also start founding their own villages and claiming agricultural lands on the savanna, this become known as the [[Trek (A1-0)|Trek]]. A Council of Shareholders was created of those who had funded the colonization that acted as a provisional government and oversaw the colonization effort. Many different Terran ethnicities had followed the call [[Alexandru I Stoian (A1-0)|Alexandru Stoian]] who was the spearhead of this colonization project. He acted in many ways as their leader. The planet was renamed to Virtue and some elements of this naming still remain to the present day.
| | RP-019/T is a medium sized telluric planet. It has a relatively strong magnetic field, generated by the convective motions of its molten inner metallic core. This also means that it is a tectonic planet; 7 main plates have been identified so far, as well as many smaller ones, that are all in constant movement. This also causes notable volcanic and tectonic activity in certain areas of the planet, which have over time partly damaged the ruins in that area. The atmosphere is mainly composed of nitrogen and oxygen, with a notable component of argon, as well as small quantities of other gases, like carbon dioxide and methane. |
| ===War at Home===
| |
| {{Main|War at Home (A1-0)}}In 1240 PD on July 16th catastrophe struck as a small raiding party of 40.000 [[Mardakii (A1-0)|Mardakii]] landed on Stoinia near one of the towns founded during the Trek. From their, the feral and barbaric raiders started heinous acts. The Council of Shareholders was forced to enact martial law and the Terran population was effectively at war overnight. This came as a shock to the population who was still focused on building their infrastructure in Landing. Police Commissar [[Thys Koeremoer (A1-0)|Thys Koeremoer]] was appointed Supreme Commander and was tasked with the creation of the creation of the [[Army of Virtue (A1-0)|Army of Virtue]]. The few Terran weaponry facilities were attacked first by the Mardakii dering their first raids. As a result, the Terrans had to resort to melee combat, which heavily favoured the Mardakii. The war forced the Stoinians to use the wildlife and domesticated them even faster. The war would go down in history as the most brutal war of the Stoinians as wounds from battle were often fatal and the Mardakii desecrated Terran bodies. It wasn't infrequent for Mardakii to even eat Terran flesh. This set a dark stain on the Terran populace which they would never forget nor forgive.

|
| As the military-industrial complex was rebuilt, the war tipped in favour of the Stoinians and after hard-fought campaigns, the Terran colonists had won the war. Though both their consciousness and planet had been scarred by it. They had been reforged into something new: Stoinians. The people hailed [[Alexandru I Stoian (A1-0)|Alexandru Stoian]] and crowned him the first King of Stoinia. Renaming both their planet and themselves to Stoinia and Stoinians. The surviving Mardakii were captured and placed into a large enclosure in [[Atonement Valley (A1-0)|Atonement Valley]]. This massive enclosure would later become [[Great Mardakii Hunting Reserve (A1-0)|Great Mardakii Hunting Reserve]] after multiple series of expansion throughout Stoinian history. Ever since the Stoinians organize a [[Great Hunt (A1-0)|Great Hunt]] where the best Stoinian hunters hunt the Mardakii. These hunts would later even get televised and document how the Mardakii devolved into feral primitive creatures. This doesn't mean that the hunts were without dangers. The [[Great Hunt of 1263 PD (A1-0)|Great Hunt of 1263 PD]] was a near catastrophe with only [[Sly Marbo (A1-0)|Sly Marbo]] returning from the hunt. The trophies from this hunt were then donated to the royal family and from it was made a large cloak from Mardakii hide which became synonymous with the royal family.
| | The planet orbits it’s star in the Goldilocks Zone; therefore water is present in all 3 of its main physical states on the surface and underground. The planet’s surface is 70.8% covered by water, and the remaining 29.2% by continents. The water vapor is also responsible for the formation of large white atmospheric formations that cover a notable part of the planet’s surface when seen from space. |

|
| Alexandru I would lead his people to prosperity during he reign as they further continued to claim [[Cascanna (A1-0)|Cascanna]] and founded new cities and towns. Moving the seats of power to Trinas and Sinaia, sending his son to the [[Shintoïst Enclave (A1-0)|Shintoïst Enclave]], raising universities and hospitals, he made sure the future of his people would only shine brighter. After his death, his son, [[Andrei I Stoian (A1-0)|Andrei I]], became known as the Philosopher-King and solidified the Stoinian identity.
| | The planet has an average temperature of 15°C, with the opposite extremes of the temperature spectrum at the poles (coldest) and at the equator (hottest). |
| ===Stellar Trek===
| |
| After the [[Andrei I Stoian (A1-0)|Philosopher-King]]'s death, [[Iulian I Stoian (A1-0)|Iulian I]] assumed the throne and made it his mission to continue his father's work. He focused on making the Stoinians a spacefaring people so that the danger of extinction would be far more difficult to overcome them. In a similar effort as the Boers during the [[Trek (A1-0)|Trek]], the Stoinian people started to colonize new worlds after they invented the warp field drive. The planets of [[Osiris (A1-0)|Osiris]], [[Shetland (A1-0)|Shetland]], [[Triton (A1-0)|Triton]], [[Ossia (A1-0)|Ossia]], [[Louisiana (A1-0)|Louisiana]], [[Karelia (A1-0)|Karelia]] and [[Graia (A1-0)|Graia]] were colonized and would later form the Stoinian Core. Stoinia itself knew a mass exodus of people who migrated to these new colonies. [[Iulian I Stoian (A1-0)|Iulian I]] would mostly focus on military affairs such as building a navy and re-organizing the [[Armed Forces of Stoinia (A1-0)|Stoinian Armed Forces]]. He would also visit the many colonies gaining the nickname the '''Starwalker'' and reform the Kingdom of Stoinia into the Stoinian Star Kingdom.
| |
| ===Crusades===
| |
| {{Main|Qoxex Crusade (A1-0)|Marcavani Crusade (A1-0)}}Stoinia however, would once again face other species in battles. As the Stoinian Star Kingdom continued to expand aggressively it came into contact with [[Qoxex (A1-0)|Qoxex]] nomads, lead by [[Quxlec (A1-0)|Warlord Quxlec]], which started to raid Stoinian colonies. Stoinia itself would face the wrath of the Qoxex as well, but didn't suffer any bombardment thank to the efforts of the [[Stoinian Royal Navy (A1-0)|Royal Navy]]. After the Qoxex Crusade, Stoinia would again flourish and become a hub of science and technology. The Kings too focused on the needs of the Star Kingdom at large.
| |
|
| |
|
| [[Traian I Stoian (A1-0)|Traian I]] however, would be tasked once again to protect Stoinia. This time from the nomadic [[Marcavani (A1-0)|Marcavani]]. Stoinia too would again be save by the [[Stoinian Royal Navy (A1-0)|Royal Navy]], but would remember their visit from some orbital scarring. This lead the Stoinians to follow the Marcavani lead by [[Avanoro (A1-0)|Warlord Avanoro]] all the way east until every last one of them paid the price of scarring Stoinia. In the Golden Age, Stoinia wold further flourish as the centre of a rising power in [[Sector A1-0 (A1-0)|Sector A1-0]].
| | RP-019/T’s axial tilt allows for the existence of four seasons, which regularly repeat during the planets orbit. The first one has medium temperatures and notable humidity, the second one has high temperatures and low humidity, the third one has low-medium temperatures and notable humidity, and the fourth one low temperatures and medium humidity. |
| ===Velutarian War===
| |
| {{Main|Stoinian-Velutarian War (A1-0)}}Stoinia would fall into chaos with the death of [[Alexandru III Stoian (A1-0)|Alexandru III]] at the hands of the [[Velutarians (A1-0)|Velutarians]]. [[Kieran O'Connell (A1-0)|O'Connell]]'s government clashed with the military and no regent was yet appointed by the [[Stoinian Royal Council (A1-0)|Royal Council]] since [[Andrei III Stoian (A1-0)|Andrei III]] was merely one year old. Eventually through rallying the people on Stoinia, Grand General [[Anson MacArthur (A1-0)|Anson MacArthur]] would be elected Regent and enact martial law throughout the Star Kingdom. Relying on great military officers such as High Admiral [[Prescott Cole (A1-0)|Prescott Cole]] who devised new tactics and protocols, Regent [[Anson MacArthur (A1-0)|MacArthur]] decided to protect Stoinia at all costs. Through the [[Cole Protocol (A1-0)|Cole Protocol]] the location of Stoinia became top secret and was not to fall into Velutarian hands. The protection of Stoinia became the top priority, for if Stoinia fell, the Star Kingdom would follow. During the war, it nearly was the case. The Velutarian advance had reached [[Triton (A1-0)|Triton]] and Stoinia would be next. In a rallying cry, High Admiral [[Douglas W. Hague (A1-0)|Douglas W. Hague]] would hold the line at Triton. In what later would be known as the [[Battle of the Line (A1-0)|Battle of the Line]], High Admiral [[Douglas W. Hague (A1-0)|Hague]] turned the tide of the war. Stoinia had been saved and the following two years, the [[Anson MacArthur (A1-0)|MacArthur]]'s regency had brought the [[Velutarian Technocracy (A1-0)|Velutarian Technocracy]] on its knees. Killing off all [[Velutarians (A1-0)|Velutarians]] during the [[Butchering of Velutaria (A1-0)|Butchering of Velutaria]].
| |
|
| |
|
| The Stoinians had survived the most devastating war, losing trillions, but Stoinia was left unscathed. While helping rebuilding the planets affected by the war, Stoinia again would be the place of political reform. [[Anson MacArthur (A1-0)|MacArthur]] and [[Andrei III Stoian (A1-0)|Andrei III]] made new legislation known as the [[MacArthur Reformations (A1-0)|MacArthur Reformations]] to never allow another devastating war. Henceforth the military became an entirely separate entity from the civilian government with no oversight from it. | | The surface is covered by green vegetation that uses chlorophyll to absorb and convert starlight into nutrients for sustenance. The vegetation’s size varies greatly, from small grasses a few centimeters tall, to some special cases of trees arriving to more than 30 meters in height. The planet also hosts a very diverse ecosystem, with preys and predators, all in a strangely stable balance. |
| ===Current times===
| |
| Stoinia would not know the threat like in the [[Stoinian-Velutarian War (A1-0)|Stoinian-Velutarian War]] again. During the [[Mardakii Crusade (A1-0)|Mardakii Crusade]] and other first contact incidents, Stoinia would remain safe from harm. Protected through many defensive layers, Stoinia could continue to prosper even in times of peril. Now that the Star Kingdom has made contact with other [[List of star nations of Sector A1-0 (A1-0)|star nations]], it will be inevitable that the planet will become even more important as the Stoinian Star Kingdom itself becomes a major power.
| |
| ==Geography and climate==
| |
| Stoinia is a cascadian world meaning it has large overarching mountain ranges crossing over the continents which are littered with many cascades which form lakes. This also means the average temperature is lower than on Terra from where the Stoinians originally came from. However, the planet does have warmer Mediterranean and savanna biomes near the equator. Though they are few and far between. Landing for example is located near the ocean and has a Medditerranean climate. The [[Great Plains of Virtue (A1-0)|Great Plains of Virtue]] is the largest savanna biome on [[Cascanna (A1-0)|Cascanna]] and is famous for its inhabitants such as the Stoinian lion, savanna mule horses and rhinosaurs. The famous [[Great Mardakii Hunting Reserve (A1-0)|Great Mardakii Hunting Reserve]] however, is located just south of Trinas in [[Atonement Valley (A1-0)|Atonement Valley]]. Although Stoinia has other continents, they are far colder compared to [[Cascanna (A1-0)|Cascanna]] and are considered natural reservations and hunting grounds.
| |
| | |
| Stoinia's climate is similar to earth, though seasons such as fall and spring are very short. The effects of weather can also be seen from space. Such an instance is when winter arrives, the whole west part of [[Cascanna (A1-0)|Cascanna]] becomes completely covered by snow and it can even be seen from space.[[File:Atonement Valley.png|frame|center|Atonement Valley, the home of the feral Mardakii in the Great Mardakii Hunting Reserve.]]
| |
| ===Cities===
| |
| Because of the planet's lush natural environment, the Stoinians decided to centralise their settlements on the largest continent, [[Cascanna (A1-0)|Cascanna]], near the equator. [[Sinaia (A1-0)|Sinaia]] is located in the west, in the middle situates [[Trinas (A1-0)|Trinas]] and on the eastern part of the continent [[Landing (A1-0)|Landing]] is located. Landing is the only city on Stoinia that has a [[Spirecity (A1-0)|spirecity]] that acts as the main space elevator and spaceport for the planet. Sinaia and Trinas are both located in mountain ranges, though Sinaia like Landing is located near the ocean. Between these cities, large and broad highways are built to connect the smaller villages and towns settled in the [[Great Trek (A1-0)|Great Trek]] to the large cities.
| |
| ==Fauna and Flora==
| |
| The plantlife on Stoinia is similar to Earth and most use chlorophyll to photosynthesize. Conifers dominate the mountain ranges, while leaf and palm trees dominate the Mediterranean and savanna biomes. Not only the plantlife resembles that of Terra, but the animal species as well. The apex predator is the Stoinian lion which has conquered all biomes of Stoinia and consists of numerous subspecies. It is slightly larger than lions from Terra, however it has a more docile nature. Attempts have been made to tame this animal, but the process has been deemed a waste of time. Domestication of animals has been a success on Stoinia though. The mule horse and griresh stand as testimonies that Stoinian fauna can live together Terrans. The mule horses and its many races have become the main mount for the Stoinian people, while the griresh has become the main cattle animal. Both of these have spread out to other planets together with the Stoinians. The mule horse is nearly identical to the Terran horse, but it has larger ears which gave it its names. The largest animal on Stoinia is the rhinosaur however. Although its classification has proven difficult, biologists have concluded that the rhinosaur belongs to a new animal class: the reptomammal. Being among the last remnants of this unique animal class, it's heavily cherished by the Stoinian people and has become a tourism attraction for safari's on the [[Great Plains of Virtue (A1-0)|Great Plains of Virtue]]. <gallery mode="packed"> | |

| ==Satellites== | | ==Satellites== |
| Stoinia has two satellites: [[Ike (A1-0)|Ike]] and [[Droc (A1-0)|Droc]]. Both are small moons that are tidally locked, meaning one side always faces Stoinia while the other never faces Stoinia. Despite being barren and having no atmosphere, both moons have mining operations and small colonies of roughly 1 million miners who frequently rotate back to Stoinia. These mining operations allow Stoinia itself to be largely untouched by mining companies as space and lunar mining is far more cost-effective than planetary mining.
| | RP-019/T has one satellite, (RP-019/T)-1. The satellite is unusually large compared to its planet, and therefore orbits at a large distance from it, completing an orbit every 27.3 Galactyan days. The satellite is tidally locked with RP-019/T, always having one side facing towards it, with slight oscillations. The satellite has been visibly, although haphazardly terraformed, and now sports atmospheric characteristic similar to those of its mother planet. The surface is covered in the rests of abandoned cities and colonies overgrown with green vegetation. |
| ==Political System==
| |
| {{See also|Planetary governance in the Stoinian Star Kingdom (A1-0)}}The planetary government of Stoinia is the [[Stoinian Planetary Parliament (A1-0)|Stoinian Planetary Parliament]]. This government is unicameral, meaning that it only has one legislative body. Members of Parliament are elected officials and serve a mandate of 6 years. During their mandate they vote and pass legislation concerning matter of planetary affairs an d which only apply to the planet Stoinia itself. Things such as trade tariffs, imports, law enforcement, planetary taxes are under the jurisdiction of the [[Stoinian Planetary Parliament (A1-0)|Stoinian Planetary Parliament]] located in [[Trinas (A1-0)|Trinas]]. The head of state is the Grand Duke of Stoinia which typically is granted to the second heir of the Stoinian throne. The current Grand Duke is the the late [[Alin Stoian (A1-0)|Alin Stoian]], the brother of [[Alexandru III Stoian (A1-0)|King Alexandru III]]. This position however has more authority to it than just a planetary political figure. The Grand Duke of Stoinia can help appoint smaller nobility throughout the entire Core Sector and helps managing the fiefdoms in the respective sector as to not overload the monarch with the managing of his fiefs. Thus the Grand Duke of Stoinia is the only Grand Duke in direct relation with the Stoinian monarch in stark contrast with the other [[Stoinian Great Houses (A1-0)|Great Houses]].
| |
| | |
| The head of government is the [[Stoinian Planetary Governor (A1-0)|Planetary Governor]] who has his own executive power within the Stoinian planetary system. He too serves for 6 years, but is elected halfway the term of Parliament. In the event the Governor is unable to fulfil his duties, he is replaced by the [[Stoinian Lieutenant-Governor (A1-0)|Lieutenant-Governor]] who is elected together with him. The Stoinian Lieutenant Governor also acts as speaker of the [[Stoinian Planetary Parliament (A1-0)|Stoinian Planetary Parliament]]. One becomes Governor by winning the elections by popular vote.
| |
| | |
| The people of Stoinia also have representatives to the national government. These are the Representatives and Stoinia has six of them and represent the people of Stoinia in the [[Stoinian People's Assembly (A1-0)|People's Assembly]]. Representatives serve for 4 years and can be re-elected indefinitely to take other governmental functions within the national government. The people also have representation in the upper legislature of the [[Stoinian Star Kingdom (A1-0)|Stoinian Star Kingdom]], the [[Stoinian Planetary Assembly (A1-0)|Planetary Assembly]]. Per the Star Kingdom's constitution, each planet has a Viceroy of the appointed noble family and a Senator which represent the planet's populace in the [[Stoinian Planetary Assembly (A1-0)|Planetary Assembly]]. The Senator is elected by popular vote and serves for 8 years. However, his mandate can be ended prematurely if a planetary referendum is held to remove the person from office. The current Senator is Bogdan Basarab. The Viceroy of Stoinia is [[Cosmin Stoian (A1-0)|Prince Cosmin Stoian]], the son of [[Alin Stoian (A1-0)|Lord Alin Stoian]], Grand Duke of Stoinia. Like the Grand Ducal title, this position is hereditary and given to the firstborn of the Grand Duke of Stoinia. Legally the Viceroy can serve for life, but the position is frequently re-appointed by the Grand Duke or at the request of the people. Because the [[Stoinian Congress (A1-0)|Stoinian Congress]] is located just outside Sinaia, the Stoinian representatives are the only representative in the Star Kingdom that don't have to leave their planet for their work.
| |
| ==Military==
| |
| Because Stoinia is the capital of the Star Kingdom, it has its own [[Stoinian Home Guard Fleet (A1-0)|Home Guard Fleet]] consisting of 800 state of the art warships supported by 80 [[Moncton-class Weapons Platform (A1-0)|''Moncton''-class Weapons Platforms]]. This strong defence at all time serves as the first layer of defence should any incoming hostile enter the system. The Home Guard Fleet also polices the surrounding star systems. Even fortifications are put in place alongside a state-of-the-art planetary shield generator to prevent an easy victory for potential invaders with larger garrisons totalling over 180 million military personnel planetside. This makes Stoinia the most heavily fortified civilian world, not counting the reserve forces on the planet. All these forces are under the command of Legate Ionache Bălan who has absolute authority over military affairs due to the [[MacArthur Reformations (A1-0)|MacArthur Reformations]]. Like the overarching Stoinian governance system, the military, even on the planetary scale, is completely separate from the civilian government. Oversight is done directly through the military itself. However, in cases of emergencies, requested by the planetary government or declarations of war, the Legate becomes the military governor of Stoinia associated with the military takeover possibly by the [[MacArthur Reformations (A1-0)|MacArthur Reformations]].
| |
| ==Economy==
| |
| Stoinia is a planet filled with financial firms and brokers who now call this planet home. While it is nowhere near the economic powerhouses such as [[Cornucopia (A1-0)|Cornucopia]], [[Corillia (A1-0)|Corillia]] or [[Daonlathas (A1-0)|Daonlathas]], Stoinia remains a culturally important planet. Using this reputation as a boon for tourism. Stoinia is also known for its many prestigious universities which now might even gain transnational interest. Ethnic shops and restaurants have also filled Sinaia and Trinas preserving the original Terran culture from its original colonsits.
| |
|
| |
|
| Stoinia still holds industrial sights. While Sinaia and Trinas are focused on financial and cultural commerce, Landing still is an industrial powerhouse. While mining is now done on Stoinia's moons, the massive forgeries of Landing make many products. Even shipwright companies such as [[List of major Stoinian shipbuilding companies (A1-0)|Bianchi Interstellar Drive Yards Industries]] still have large operations in the Virtue system and have their industry based in Landing. Being in direct competition with [[Kuatis (A1-0)|Kuatis]] and [[Ceria (A1-0)|Ceria]].

RP-019/T is the nineteenth Ruined Planet discovered by the Celestial Empire Of Galactya. First located and explored in 3189 BBT during Era 2, it's now a Protected Site.
Position
RP-019/T orbits a G2 V Yellow Dwarf star called Ehithya, located approximately 19.5 light years from the Crus-Lux System. The star is located in Quadrant 11, in one of less denser parts of the Region.
Classification and Characteristics
RP-019/T is a medium sized telluric planet. It has a relatively strong magnetic field, generated by the convective motions of its molten inner metallic core. This also means that it is a tectonic planet; 7 main plates have been identified so far, as well as many smaller ones, that are all in constant movement. This also causes notable volcanic and tectonic activity in certain areas of the planet, which have over time partly damaged the ruins in that area. The atmosphere is mainly composed of nitrogen and oxygen, with a notable component of argon, as well as small quantities of other gases, like carbon dioxide and methane.
The planet orbits it’s star in the Goldilocks Zone; therefore water is present in all 3 of its main physical states on the surface and underground. The planet’s surface is 70.8% covered by water, and the remaining 29.2% by continents. The water vapor is also responsible for the formation of large white atmospheric formations that cover a notable part of the planet’s surface when seen from space.
The planet has an average temperature of 15°C, with the opposite extremes of the temperature spectrum at the poles (coldest) and at the equator (hottest).
RP-019/T’s axial tilt allows for the existence of four seasons, which regularly repeat during the planets orbit. The first one has medium temperatures and notable humidity, the second one has high temperatures and low humidity, the third one has low-medium temperatures and notable humidity, and the fourth one low temperatures and medium humidity.
The surface is covered by green vegetation that uses chlorophyll to absorb and convert starlight into nutrients for sustenance. The vegetation’s size varies greatly, from small grasses a few centimeters tall, to some special cases of trees arriving to more than 30 meters in height. The planet also hosts a very diverse ecosystem, with preys and predators, all in a strangely stable balance.
Satellites
RP-019/T has one satellite, (RP-019/T)-1. The satellite is unusually large compared to its planet, and therefore orbits at a large distance from it, completing an orbit every 27.3 Galactyan days. The satellite is tidally locked with RP-019/T, always having one side facing towards it, with slight oscillations. The satellite has been visibly, although haphazardly terraformed, and now sports atmospheric characteristic similar to those of its mother planet. The surface is covered in the rests of abandoned cities and colonies overgrown with green vegetation.
