The Akropii Republic is a spacefaring nation located in the far south-east of Sector A1-0. It's known for being only made up of AI, after all its living inhabitants died in the Apocalypse War.

History

The Apocalypse War

The Apocalypse War was the largest war in Akropii history, lasting 152 years and ending in the death of all life involved. It directly led to the formation of the modern Akropii Republic from the AIs who remained after the apocalypse.

Start of the War

The war began in 769 BBT when the Relind Corporation laid siege to the colony world of Zethwri, owned by Isper Inc. Relind's goal is largely determined to have been to seize the weapons production factories, which were producing tech that Relind Corp did not have access to. Due to the remote nature of the moon Zethwri, Relind Corp was able to intercept messages and ships from spreading news of the siege. Only after two weeks, when the population was beginning to starve, did serious assaults on the occupying Relind fleet by the civilian population begin. Three days later a small craft was able to escape the blockade and make it to the nearby system Visr and relay news of the siege. Since the monthly shipment hadn't come in from Zethwri, Isper already had a fleet heading to figure out what had happened. The fleet headed to Zethwri and made contact with the smaller occupying fleet and force them to leave. Upon their arrival they found that Relind Corp had reinforced the occupying fleet with a battleship, which promptly fired upon the Isper fleet and destroyed them when they exited pseudospace. When Isper's fleet never responded after reaching Zethwri, the company correctly assumed that Relind Corp had destroyed it, and they declared war. A little over a dozen nations and megacorporations declared war on Relind Corp for their atrocities and in solidarity with Isper. Four megacorporations that had been conspiring with Relind Corp declared war on Isper and its allies following that.

Technology

Quantum Particle Traversers

These microscopic cubes come in pairs. Whenever electricity or light goes into a cube, it comes out the other, regardless of distance. This functions as a gateway, except only for light and electricity. These cubes need specialized and dangerous particle colliders in order to be produced, but aren’t hard to produce one the construction facility is completed. These cubes can be found throughout most Akropii technology for instantaneous communication. The cubes are unable to carry enough light or electricity to weaponize them. These cubes are a sort of rudimentary gate, although technically quite advanced considering how small Akropii were able to shrink them. They were invented well before the Apocalypse War but didn't come into widespread use until during it, when easier methods of production were discovered.

Pseudospace Drive

Pseudospace is the FTL method of the Akropii Republic. Pseudospace is a false-space between dimensions with 0 and 4-dimensional properties, although it lets 3-dimensional objects exist without altering or affecting them. To leave pseudospace a ship only needs to slow down and it will fall out of suspension and enter realspace. When a ship drops out of pseudospace it doesn't release any extra energy or detectable signal, it simply comes into existence as if it were already there. To enter pseudospace a ship needs to have reached the minimum entry speed, which makes it difficult to escape dangerous situations as ships often take loads of fire as they turn tail and run.

Carnifex Bioweapons

The WWD of the Akropii Republic, the carnifex missile is responsible for annihilating all life during the end of the Apocalypse War. They conatin a wide variety of genetically engineered viruses, bacteria, plagues, diseases, and pathogens. The infectious agents will quickly bring disease to the entire biosphere of a planet as they are designed to be able to infect any form of life regardless of taxonomic classification. Other bacteria are designed to consume large amounts of the available atmosphere and convert it into toxic compounds. It takes the weapon about 2 months to reduce a victim planet to a barren, uninhabitable wasteland. During that period there is ample amounts of time for refugees to flee and spread plague to other planets to a quarantine of infected planets is necessary. Alternatively, infected sites can be nuked or glassed to eliminate the infection.
