Description
Discovered in A.D 2772 by Republic colonists, more specifically the first ship to arrive at the planet was the UCRN Frigate October. It was the 3rd planet discovered in the U.P-33 system. The U.P 33 system was the first system officially discovered in over 100 years after an expansion and exploration ban created by the UCR.The UCR's prized new colonial fleet was created using the most updated and advanced technology the UCR had to offer, the only ship that wasn't a ship of the line was the UCR Frigate October, an older model of ship, just refitted for the effort (as the UCR had not been in a war in a very very long time, so their budget on their military was a lot smaller than it was on everything else)
A 1 Moon world Kaezid, or, was formerly known as U.P-33-C, was a heavily forested world, discovered on March 27th 2772, however, was not landed on until 1600, 29th of March. Due to having almost no contact with sentient life throughout humanity's long exploration into the galaxy, most humans had given up on the search for alien life, and colonial procedures for sentient extra-terrestrial life essentially become a page in the long list of procedures that was skipped over when preparing for colonization.
It was there that the colonists discovered on April 1st 2772 the Kashir (Kashirim) species. What was originally seen as a joke being played in honor of an old US tradition of April fools day, ended up delaying any form of aid or intervention from the UCR military or government. When the government finally did get involved (still on the first of april when they finally saw it wasn't a joke) they weren't ready for anything, so instead of looking up the procedures for first contact, they decided to quarentine the entire planet. nothing goes in or out, inadvertantly trapping the colonists, scientists, and marines all planetside.
It was because of this that the UCR had accidentally torn the native species in half by creating a civil war of religion between those who saw the humans coming down from the sky were angels and messengers of their gods, and those who saw the humans and invaders, and imposters of their gods. Countless times the colony would be attacked, and more of it's inhabitants would die. To the side that saw the humans as gods, there was no way to communicate with them, let alone get aid from them.
---------------------------
DESCRIPTION OF KAEZID
Kaezid is largely a forest planet, almost exactly the same size of Earth. It's polar ends are not glaciers like that of earth, but instead, it's the only place where it snows in the entire planet and has seasons like that of the planet earth. There are few plains and fields located around the planet, and there are 2 large continents on it divided by a large body of water, (which makes up for 50% of the planet).
It has an atmosphere close to Earth's own. It's atmosphere is composed of nitrogen (72%), oxygen (17.5%), argon (10%), and then trace amounts of carbon dioxide, neon, helium, methane, krypton, hydrogen, nitrous oxide, xenon, ozone, iodine, carbon monoxide, and ammonia. Lower altitudes also have quantities of water vapor.
(The human colonists could still breath the Air, but it was very oxygen rich to them, and everyone required the aid of a respirator)
The inhabitants are in a roman-like era. building large temples, cities and towns all over. (War was a very unknown concept to them until humanity arrived)

So, do the Kashirim end up like the Native Americans; their homeworld becoming dominated by Humans, and slowly go extinct, to the regret of the rest of Humanity?

Hm.
Just a thought, btw, but, you know, the universe has existed for 13 billion years. Humans in your universe have settled a fair number of worlds, just within a few centuries. You realize that at some point, Humanity is going to come across far vaster, incomprehensibly ancient alien civilization, right? Who will probably be to the starfaring Humans as the Kashirim are to man?

Yes. I've literally thought out every angle on the setting. there's 100 billion stars in our galaxy that we know of. Humanity has explored and colonized only some thousands. But the story isn't focusing on 'some incomprehensibly ancient race' right now. It's only focusing on humanity.

It's fine. I'm just prone to overthinking stories and universes. You know, it's an interesting change in perspective to look at a universe from a different point of view; Humans generally see themselves as the center of the universe and they've settled several thousand worlds, meanwhile, there's just an alien empire which has been spacefaring for ten times longer Humanity has existed, and has settled several million worlds, and is dimly aware of Humanity's existence.
I've actually managed to gauge where The Colonists universe is on Isaac Asimov's scale of an interstellar civilization.
They are at level two; the point of the first efforts to colonize and exploit neighboring star systems. Humans in your universe seem to have surpassed level one (initial exploration, colonization, and exploitation of home system) by evacuating Earth, and their discovery of the Kashirim marks the earliest point in which they are going to enter the level three stage of an interstellar civilization; possible contact, either friendly or hostile, with interstellar empires of alien species (in Asimov's Galactic Empire, only one intelligent non-human race is found even after settled almost all the worlds in the Milky Way. The Empire struggles to save them from extinction, but the species eventually leaves the galaxy for the Magellanic Clouds).

I'm not going to lie, I've always intentionally made the 'human dynasty's' expansion so small to always leave things open in the future for possible contact with another nation of sentient beings. It was purposeful, but I found myself getting WAY too far ahead of the story when I began thinking on another alien nation as the war that's about to come is going to last well over 10 years, with a lot of battles and stories to make, and then the bit afterwards.
Isaac Asimov's scale? I've done a lot of readings into Sci Fi and such, but this is news to me. iot definitely sounds like the scale is a really cool system used to judge space faring nations. WHere'd you find it??

That's a beautiful looking planet! Nice description.
I can imagine that the space exploratory period before the ban, and the one after, becoming two separate 'volumes of history'. Especially with the unexpected discovery of a sentient alien species right out the gate. What was the cause of the ban?

goeliath In reply to larqven [2014-10-22 19:35:03 +0000 UTC]
UCR had begun to overexpand too quickly, and it's outer colonies were continuously rebelling. The government, which was still fighting rebels on the outside of the FCZ, didn't want to bring more colonies that could potentially rebel, or be converted into rebel bases.
It was kind of like a parent going "Fine! If you colonies will rebel, then there will be no new ones!" As a way of cracking down on the colonies already rebelling, and controlling their own population

Ok. Is this new UCR exploratory period the beginning of the 'current' period? (I figured that Kaezid got discovered some centuries in the past?)
But if that is the case, wouldn't the squabbling and warring colonies have been hell bent to found colonies of their own? So I figured that this was an earlier period when the UCR still had reasonably good control of space faring if not the colonies themselves, and that the expense was too high and technology was too low for governments on the periphery to explore space?

goeliath In reply to larqven [2014-10-22 21:29:26 +0000 UTC]
the FCZ in within UCR controlled space, ecept for a small area at which the current starting timeline takes place. No free colonies can explore on the outside of the FCZ (except the staevik, which they have been secretly doing behind the UCR's back and their patrols in the sector) Kaezid is a very new Planet, and the Kashir species would not fully integrate into human culture for some more years to come/

Looks like this discovery is only nine years before the Free Colony wars? I figured it might be longer in that kashirim are seen serving in the human military. I figured that some generations might go by for that, especially as they are from a relatively primitive society?

goeliath In reply to larqven [2014-10-23 21:43:17 +0000 UTC]
The Free colony wars lasts a long while. One of the longest and bloodiest wars in human history. (unknown official ending date of the war). the UCR military had started cycling few Kashir into their own separate UCR military section after many Kashir warriors who fought for the humans on their home world voiced their urge to continue to fight, or serve, even after their war had ended.
Up until the UCR had joined into the free colony wars Kashir units and co-species forces were only still running in a test phase.
When the UCR fleets sent into the Free colonies to fight the Staevik were obliterated, the UCR realized they needed new fleets and an upgraded armed forces, as everything they had militarily was extremely outdated in comparison to what the Terrans, the Xenos, and the Staevik had. (which had been constantly updating their military technology to fight their constant wars, while the UCR just sat back and thought they'd be safe, and that their tech would never be outdated)
(imagine the UCR having a military much like pre- pearl harbor US had, size-wise)
After the loss of the bulk of the UCR's battle ready fleets on the outer rim caused many colonies which were previously rebelling, but put down, to once again raise arms against the UCR and it's government. The UCR mustered it's central fleet (which was the fleets with the most advanced technology, closer to the Terran's own tech) to try and put down the rising rebel force (being now backed by the staevik). The Staevik even went so far as to go on the outside of the known galaxy, around the borders of the UCR, and attack a major military planet, which had forces stationed to put down rebellions in nearby systems.
It was at this point that the UCR's military put it's test Kashir units and fleets into action, as well as the UCR becoming much like the US did after pearl harbor. In wich a rapid increase of military spending, and a rapid increase of better fleets, weapons, and armor.
(all dates are still unknown yet. working that part out.)

No. Every character introduced so far all start out in 2773. They're currently (since the story hasn't started yet) hanging out in Terra, before the 2nd Xeno-Terran war.
