The Voyage

Their voyage had taken 1000 long years through the galaxy, and they had finally arrived at their intended destination. It was a voyage filled with sorrow and hardship as half of their fleet had been lost along the way?half of their race departed for another system, only to never be heard from again. They had set out to the planet the natives referred to as ?Earth? in hopes of finding a home, and none too soon either, for their long-range observers had just discovered the water-covered planet capable of sustaining their race when the climate-control towers had begun malfunctioning.

Those towers had been the last line of defense against the cold since their sun had begun to fade, and the days grew colder as the towers kept struggling to maintain, but they had already begun winking out as the reports came back. Millions of their people were living crammed into makeshift shelters or sleeping on crowded streets as the hospitable areas began to shrink. Even as the fleet proceeded with its evacuation countless lives were lost because the drop ships could not transport them fast enough to the fleet zones.

Along the voyage to their anticipative home things had gone relatively well, but at first the adjustment to living in such a cramped and stringent environment was difficult. Some spoke of another system with the possibilities of hospitable planet, but the observers sent to that sector had not yet returned so the risk was too great to chance, yet some insisted upon chancing the shorter journey. If their decision proved fruitful they would need only 600 years to complete the voyage, and considering the lifespan of their people that would mean two generations would be spared the rigors of deep-space travel. If their assumptions proved fruitless then it would mean there would be no salvation for those who happened to part ways.

Despite their advanced technology and capabilities of space-travel this was a risky voyage. They had never undertaken a journey such as this, and it was only through hope and chance that their ships could manage the stressful journey. Not a one wanted to consider the fate of their comrades who wanted to chance the closer system, but they had taken the same chance trying to reach the ?Earth.? When, that is if, they did reach the planet they could only hope the indigenous species would not prove aggressive and rush to the defense of this perceived threat. They merely wanted a place they could call home, and by the looks of things on ?Earth? the planet was in dire straits, but they could help if given the chance.

It seemed however, that the humans were in no mood to share their dying planet as planetary and orbital defenses began mobilizing in the chance of a global assault, but that was the last thing the newcomers desired. Their military and fleets had been kept active and well trained, but they had never faced real combat before, and from their observations the humans constantly squabbled amongst themselves, despite the fa?ade their ?United Nations? maintained of world order. They could win the war, definitely, but it would mean the destruction of most of their race, along with the devastation of the planet. War was not the desired culmination to their journey.

(Insert#1) Social Overview

(Insert#1)?s modern hierarchical structure was first introduced into their society some 4 millennia prior to the Exodus during a period known as ?Unification.? The Unification movement was heralded with the great leader (???) taking the reins of the (Insert#1)?s great capital city of (Insert#2) after a succession of bloody coups had left the city in shambles and the Empire of (Insert#3) in near ruins. In order to restore order and quickly reestablish the remainder of their routed army (Insert#2) began to organize and classify the huddled masses depending upon what tasks suited them best.

During the formation of this system only rudimentary tests and evaluations were used to determine one?s status and designation in their society, but as their technology developed they began deciphering their genetic structure and concluding the evaluations before birth. Originally there had been a modicum of resistance to such a rigid social structure, but as the years progressed and the preservation of the species became a priority ?free-will? sentiment began dying out amongst the dissenters. Once the Exodus began this ideology was considered antithetical to the species? survival.

Every individual?s genetic makeup is gauged to determine for which of the five primary classifications they shall be prepared and as time progresses a series of comprehensive aptitude and ability tests shall determine for what they shall specialize. This final specialization analysis will determine for which ?career? they will be best suited. To be accurate there are far too many specializations to list, so a brief summary of the five primary classes will detail the general duties and careers of said class.

Social Classifications

1. (Councilors)- This is the highest of the castes which consists of the governing body for the (Insert#1), i.e. bureaucrats and ambassadors for the time being amongst the highest tiers. Lower down in the food chain you find the leaders of the ensuing castes, dependent upon their capabilities. In the military this qualifies as the ?generals?, ?admirals?, and any commander no matter how far down the line.

2. (Executors)- In the upper echelons this group carries out the mandates governed by the Council, but their reach also extends into the following three tiers. They have been found the most capable of executing objective tasks without risk of usurious influence, the threat of which is considerably minor in (Inster#1) society. Concerning the military this group forms messengers, reconnaissance squads, and specialized assassin units, albeit the last have always been very few in number.

3. (Protectorate)- These are the guardians of the (Insert#1) society due to their instinctually protective nature, and the majority form the civil and military police force. The most capable of these individuals are trained and assigned as bodyguards to the Council?s members. For the most part they specialize in close-quarters combat, but extensive training is necessary to ensure accurate threat detection and planetary survivals are within their means. A smaller branch of this caste also consists of medical specialists.

4. (Academics)- This segment of (Insert#1) society is one of the largest, second only to the bottom tier, and by far because of the emphasis of technological advancement they are one of the most highly esteemed, despite being the second to lowest tier. At the highest levels they are scientists, societal planners, archivists, and researchers, but farther down they also assume the roles of teachers, accountants, technological specialists, and various other positions. Within the military they can be designated as tacticians, weapons developers, and even clerks.

5. (Laborers)? This is by far the most numerous of any tier, but that is due in main part because so many of them as classified as the lowest of preceding levels. They consist of any person who performs menial labor, such as tending machinery, performing maintenance, cleaning, husbandry, harvesting, and so on so forth. For such a technologically advanced race it would seem rather odd to find such tasks performed by living individuals and not robotic helpers, but the (Insert#1) are very traditional and superstitious. It is believed that should they resort to relying purely upon mechanical assistance for everyday necessities that their entire society will crumble. In the military this caste supplies the grunts.

(Insert) Military Overview

Blood bone and tears
Slow screw of fears
Time don't stop
When you live by the clock
Seconds are hours, minutes are days
Screw slows 'em down, mysterious ways.
