Fanon:Polaris (TheAdorableHatKid)

[Polaris, the Shrewed Snow-folk]

 

In the unforgiving coldness of Polaris, lay a race of intellectuals and scholars, who are known as being the most well rounded civilization the galaxy has to offer. They are one of the two youngest civilizations in the entirety of the Great Powers, with only Forestia being younger. They can practically do it all, invent technology, honey their neighbors with words of wisdom and compliments, they are excellent fighters in their own right, and generally have a pretty steady economy. Their only major flaw is their utter lack of specialization, which leads to more problems than one would think.

 

They are a people once beset by petty tribal infighting, and one that was hampered for centuries because of it. However, eventually, as the later millenia arrived, they started to simmer down and think. They are a race that produced many scholars and thinkers, and it is these men and women that finally put an end to the petty tribal infighting. First, the tribes were split into four, then two, and then finally, a full planetary government that thinks fondly of its tribal ways, something it shares with Forestia deeply, and has helped cool many otherwise negative feelings they have for eachother. Despite this, they have had a few wars with Forestia, as all the Great Powers inevitably do with each other.

 

The Polarisians are average in all forms of combat, short medium or long range. They are solid, but lack much specialization, leading to them having to think hard about how they win their fights. Fortunately, they ARE a race of thinkers, so this weakness is very easy to overcome most of the time. While generally tolerated by most, they can occasionally be viewed as pompous and foolhardy, as people are usually insulted by their reliance on calling themselves “the race of thought and philosophy”, as this implies, if unintentionally, that other races dont think. Even Magmux can be irritated by this from time to time.

 

Their main method of growth is, well, diplomacy, though they are not quite as good at it as the Forestians are. They dont always annex planets, but like Forestia, they prefer to make alliances and trade partners moreso than annexation. That said, they will usually annex by force if absolutely necessary, and see no issue in using more harsh methods of expansion if they are threatened in any great way. Their economy is as basic as it gets, weapons here, food and artwork there, among other things.

 

They are currently a Republic, led by President Modus Galacia Jr.

 

They are named after snow, ice, American Latin court terms, and Eskimo cultural names.
