This is a response to your request in the other forum for race descriptions for the other empires in the diplomacy screen. I've written it in such a way as you've only recently met the other empire, but you know about them from their reputation as well as 2nd hand accounts. It's done from a federation viewpoint, but is fairly neutral so can be used for other empires.
If there's anything you're not happy with, too much, too little, content etc let me know. I really don't mind this job so if you like these I'll do all the minors when needed.
Roms
"Little is known of the Romulan Star Empire as much of their culture is shrouded in secrecy. It is believed they share a common ancestry with the Vulcan people, however they did not follow the example of surak and embrace pure logic. Many cultures have learned to steer clear of Romulan space, they are fiercely territorial and deal with potential threats quickly and brutally. Their intelligence agency, the Tal Shiar, is known to be ruthless and efficient, they are believed to be the primary reason few races have any reliable information about the Empire. Their vessels are often large and powerful, employing cloaking devices to avoid detection and enable them to utilise the element of surprise."
Klings
"The Klingon Empire is feared throughout the quadrant. They are a warrior race, who value honour, courage and tradition above all else. The Klingons live for combat and will rarely seek a diplomatic solution to any incident. Despite their fierce warrior ethic, the Klingons have a reputation for honouring treaties and defending allies as they would their own people. The Klingons place little emphasis on intelligence, preferring to utilise the military as their primary means of defence. Their ships are built for pure combat, they often carry heavy weapons and are highly maneuverable"
Cardies
"The Cardassian Union is one of the most ruthless institutions in the known galaxy. It is believed the Cardassians were once a peaceful, spiritual people, however their government is now largely controlled by the military. The Cardassians have apparently faced great hardship, the only viable solution has been the exploitation of other worlds to support their race. The Cardassian intelligence agency, the Obsidian Order, is known to be the most ruthless and effective of all known powers. Opponents of the Union have been known to commit suicide, rather than endure a Cardassian interrogation. Their warships are well armoured, with powerful phasers. Their commanders tend to favour rigid military formations."
Doms
"The Dominion is one of the most powerful organisations known to exist. The architects of the Dominion are known only as 'The Founders', the true nature of the founders is a well kept secret, however certain members of the Dominion are known to worship them as gods. Diplomacy and administration is the domain of the Vorta, skilled diplomats who report directly to the founders. The military arm of the Dominion are known as the Jem Hadar, genetically enhanced soldiers who are created to fight and to kill. The Jem Hadar are as formiddable warriors as one is likely to meet. Jem hadar warships are extremely maneuverable and highly advanced, utilising phased polaron technology. The Dominion have a reputation for fast and efficient ship building, producing vessels at twice the rate as many empires."
Well, thet's all the empires. Didn't bother with the feds as they'll be the only ones playable initially, however can do them if requsted. Let me know if you wanna use these gturfrey.
