Keltock... More detailed

Sun Dec 21, 2008, 10:21 AM
So the idea of my universe grows and becomes more detailed.

Setting:

Keltock plays on a gas planet like Jupiter or Saturn.
On these Planets there are flying isles, some small like a Rock,
some as big as isles, and some are as big as nations, like england.
(well i need a idea, why they are flyng, but i think i will get one soon)
the story play so far on a very small part of this planet ( because such aplante is huuuugggggeee^^)

On this Planet a Colonists Fleet from planet earth crashed. Because they
are spread by the crash , and with no contact to the home, they colonists
fall back into an age without high technology, loosing the legacy of their
race. Even the crash is forgotten after ages and ages, mistifed into religious
storys.

So the human beings of Keltock rise with the same problems, their ancestors had.
Persons with thirst for power, lead the growing Nations of Keltock in a struggle of war.
Were now in a time of a unsteady peace.

Nations:

So far i have only a idea for some nations, but their are many nations, some are smaller,
and some are bigger, so their is many space for new ideas.

Race 1:

Race one is the most detailed race so far. In stylistic devices it has some similarities with
germans. Their politic system is this of the ancient roman empire with an senate,
who elects an single man to lead the nation in war. This person is called WITAN.
(names have german background too) Their Army is overaged, the techniques are not as far as they could be.
Their ships are slow but heavy armored and their firepower is great, but firepower isnt everything.
the military is also outnumbered. But the time of change has begun. Without any known reason, the nations ground,
their flying isles begins to drop slowy. The air is getting toxic too, so to save their lives.
But the other nations dont understand, why they have to give their lands to their enemys, so the only way
ofexpansion is an agressive way. The WITAN, a young but also very intelligent and peacful man
is looking for every peacful way he can find to save the lives of his people, and sends expeditions
in the unknown regions.

Military structures so far:

Update will follow... this is everything i have translated so far...

Hmm...this sounds like the Albin Empire which is like a bunch of European princes banded together under the Holy Roman Emperor. These guys are organized, like to make krieg and keep short hair, with some regional differences.

yeah well but its only in times of great danger for the nation, and because it is an peacful nation, there wasnt many WITANs yet. But i hope because my universe is more high technique like portable Huds for field officiers and well some laser weapons for some big ships. well my english is to bad for describing it but their should be a contrast of old technics and new technics. i know that there are some similarities, but i try to avoid to many of them.

Purgatory is very old school, though. At year 450, people don't even know about radar or sonar. Alphabetic flag signaling and flashing search lights were the only means of communication, and radio is just beginning to appear. Lasers are reserved for another scary mystery race.

For names I tend to go for Wikipedia and look up the various European royalties.

Purgatory, for example, have the Capetians as the royal dynasty (which is a real dynasty in France). Valois as well. Gothoe is taken from Goth + oe. In fact, many things are taken from the real world.
