<p style="text-align: center;">Overview

<p style="text-align: center;">The Polarian Empire of The Chiss Descendancy is a massive, orderly, cultured nation, ruled by Supreme Commander Benthamic with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ritual sacrifices, complete absence of social welfare, and keen interest in outer space. It is a military junta under the control of the militant First Order, with all of its territory comprising the overaching Eternal Empire. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.8 billion Chiss are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

<p style="text-align: center;">The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valencia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.2%.

<p style="text-align: center;">The frighteningly efficient Valencian economy, worth 426 trillion Praetors a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 202,338 Praetors, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 980,901 per year while the poor average 24,159, a ratio of 40.6 to 1.

<p style="text-align: center;">Homeless people can be found sleeping on streets in front of unoccupied second homes, soldiers are equipped with multi-million Praetor battlesuits, rumors have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing person, nobody ever seems to leave or enter the flying castle that is Valencia, and manual labourers must be willing to have cybernetic limbs to get a job. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Chiss Descendancy's national animal is the Valencian Honey Bee, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Exarchism.

<p style="text-align: center;">The Polarian Empire of The Chiss Descendancy is a totalitarian dictatorship under the Supreme Allied Commander of the First Order. Citizens don't merely obey the Commander - they view him as their timeless guide and protector. By trusting him with all political and military power, they can focus on higher learning and the finer aspects of civilized society. All citizens receive a monthly stipend of Praetors and resources such as food and fuel. Compared to the rest of the world, the average Chiss would be a member of the upper class and want for nothing. They are an idealistic people - scientists, artists and philosophers - who look down on nations such as Mallandia and Nultsia, disgusted by their "warmongering," ways. Instilled with Benthamic's arrogance, they believe it is their burden to bring enlightenment to the rest of the world.

<p style="text-align: center;">The first and foremost priority of The Chiss Descendancy is the funding of its militant faction, the First Order. Second to none, the nation boasts the largest and most powerful military in the entire GFW region, followed closely by its ally Mallandia.

<p style="text-align: center;">United under one flag, The Chiss Descendancy is comprised of six Sectors (or colonies) governed by a Chiss-designated Governor, the first and largest of them being The Thule Ascendancy. All colonies are granted the right to govern themselves while under the protection of the Valencian flag, though conditions may apply in terms of domestic affairs.

<p style="text-align: center;">Supreme Commander Benthamic has ruled longer than any of his predecessors, mostly in thanks to his previously illegal abolishment of elections and the assistance of cybernetic implants to prolong his age and thus his seemingly never-ending term in office. Due to his personal connection to each and every military unit and several government officials by way of advanced cybernetics, it was common knowledge that even in a one-on-one audience with the Supreme Commander, he was simultaneously having dozens of conversations with several other individuals. He as expressed interest in extending this connection to every Chiss on the planet. For his overpowering presence, strong arm politics, and intimidating speeches, he is often referred to as The Mad King, though mention of this secessionist-granted alternative title is strongly forbidden and punishable by death or repurposing.

<p style="text-align: center;">

<p style="text-align: center;">

<p style="text-align: center;">

<p style="text-align: center;">The Chiss Descendancy has been involved in GFW politics for countless years, fending off an uncomfortably high number foreign invaders with the help of its numerous allies.

<p style="text-align: center;">

History
Originally a diplomatic and influential constitutional republic, a corrupt leader by the name of Fog rose to power and subsequently led The Chiss Descendancy to virtual ruin. Under his rule, the economy imploded, unable to keep up with his endless demands for more powerful military technology and industry. An overt leader, he made his hatred of mankind extremely vocal, and his inevitable invasion of foreign soil led to a full scale war.

Dubbed the Blue War, the resulting conflicts united nearly all of the GFW in an effort to completely eradicate the Chiss. Fog fled the country soon after the war began, but his trusted advisers remained in power until the very end. The war dragged on for six years before the Chiss species had virtually been wiped off the face of the planet. Numerous splinter groups comprised of violent segregationist Chiss militants persisted, but the destruction of Valencia marked the end of the Blue War and the disbanding of the original Chiss Descendancy.

Unwilling to submit to defeat, an influential Chiss patriot gathered what remaining soldiers of the Descendancy he could find and led them on a mass exodus from the GFW region. The loyalists under Agathi's rule kept their existence a secret, finding shelter on an uncharted island far from civilization. Agathi sought to reorganize the remaining Chiss, building the foundations of a new military and government system, henceforth declaring them The First Order.

<p style="text-align: center;">Above: The insignia of The First Order. <p style="text-align: center;">

The First Order remained in hiding for decades, steadily growing their military power and carefully selecting new government officials under Agathi's close watch. In time, The First Order grew beyond a mere military faction and was now budding into a full scale nation hell-bent on restoring glory to the Chiss name. Soon, Agathi's wishes were satisfied, and he ordered a full scale invasion on the rebel-controlled former capital city of Valencia.

Agathi and his army of 3,000 men stormed the city and quickly exterminated every rebel there, securing the city of Valencia within hours and thus officially making their presence known on a global scale. Immediately, Agathi declared The First Order the ruling body of the reborn Chiss Descendancy and christened himself as Supreme Commander Benthamic, the direct translation of his given Chiss name.

Supreme Commander Benthamic offered the remaining Chiss outside The First Order the option to either fall into his ranks or be permanently marked as traitors to The Chiss Descendancy. Over 90% of the rebels swore fealty to Benthamic and were gladly accepted into his new army, with the vast majority of the remaining margin either fleeing to other nations for asylum or being imprisoned.

<p style="text-align: center;">"Today is the end of the Old Empire. The end of a regime that acquiesces to disorder. At this very moment in a country far from here, the Old Empire lies to the world while secretly supporting the treachery of the loathsome rebellion. This fierce machine which you have built, upon which we stand will bring an end to the remants of Fog's empire, to their cherished fleet. All remaining nations will bow to the First Order and will remember this as the last day of the Old Empire!"

<p style="text-align: center;">-Benthamic's speech to the First Order, hours before the Assault on Valencia.

The GFW ruling body hesitantly acknowledged the Supreme Commander and The Chiss Descendancy, accepting them back into the fold under new leadership. Now in control of the country, Benthamic abolished the outdated Chiss constitution and established the Imperial Senate, a gathering of elected delegates who were given the authority to act as the primary ruling body of The Chiss Descendancy with the Supreme Commander maintaining the right to veto or pass any laws immediately.

Benthamic quickly set his sights on renovating the Descendancy's military, arming each soldier with revolutionary high tech rifles and multi-million Praetor battle suits. As the military grew, scientific progress was inadvertently bolstered dramatically, and in time The Chiss Descendancy boasted arguably the most advanced military in the entirety of the GFW. The First Order remained the acting military for the reinvigorated Descendancy.

The Chiss Descendancy was officially brought into a new "Golden Age," when Supreme Commander Benthamic declared himself its eternally serving leader. Seeking to prolong his term for as long as biologically possible, he took advantage of recent scientific developments by replacing most of his organs with cybernetic devices, voiding the necessity of breathing, eating, or sleeping, and effectively replacing his brain with a miniature supercomputer which he uploaded hs consciousness to. In time, Supreme Commander Benthamic was for all intents and purposes biologically immortal, and began to devote his efforts to extending the favor first to his military and then the entire Chiss populace.



<p style="text-align: center;">Above: The young Agathi shortly after establishing The First Order.

<p style="text-align: center;">

The Chiss Descendancy thrived under Benthamic's control. With the country sitting on a massive stockpile of natural resources, the Chiss quickly became the largest exporter in the entire GFW. The Imperial Senate, noticing the booming of the Chiss population in the wake of prosperity, passed a bill to split the Descendancy into several different Sectors, each allowed to govern themselves but ultimately answering to the infallible Valencian law. Benthamic had no objections to the bill, so long as he had full authority over who was designated the Governor for each of the new Sectors. The Thule Ascendancy was the first Sector to be established, followed quickly by The Gree Enclave.

The Chiss sphere of influence had grown quicker than Benthamic and his council anticipated. The Chiss Descendancy was now comprised of six individually governed Sectors and a dominant Valencian homeland, the economy was booming, and most importantly, the First Order was now widely recognized as one of the greatest military powers in the region. Benthamic renamed the Chiss government the Polarian Empire.

<p style="text-align: center;">

International Relations

 * The New Democratic State of Edgelandia - Arguably the Descendancy's greatest ally, President Edgewalker and Supreme Commander Benthamic are a political dynamic duo on the international stage. The two nations are considered the best in terms of economical strength and military power in the GFW and constantly work in tandem to eradicate enemy threats. Edgelandian and Chiss soldiers demonstrate great respect and friendship towards each other as a result of their constant partnership.
 * The Pristine United Provinces of Nultsia - Stuck in a sort of purgatory between friendship and hostility, Supreme Commander Benthamic and President Stralam rarely see eye-to-eye with each other in political matters and have openly campaigned against each other many times in the past. Tensions have escalated to boiling point on several occasions.
 * The Constitutional Republic of Mallandia - Though Supreme Commander Benthamc effectively serves as spymaster under President Mallace, Mallandia has recently condemned the Chiss government for its aggressive foreign policies. Ranked as a high threat to The Chiss Descendancy along with Nultsia.
 * The Jingoistic States of Zoomeropolis - A recently formed nation in the GFW, Supreme Commander Benthamic has expressed interest in forming an alliance with Zoomeropolis, admiring their efficient methods. The Chiss Descendancy generously donates unused technology and weapon blueprints to Zoomeropolis in exchange for other services. Zoomeropolis is considered under the protection of The First Order.
 * The Republic of Sipsconia - Another relatively new GFW power, Sipsconia is equally favored by benefactor Supreme Commander Benthamic, who has established a similar deal to that of Zoomeropolis.' Sipsconia is considered under the protection of The First Order.
 * The Constitutional Monarchy of Samtansia - Tentions running extremely high as Samtansia was recently discovering harboring remnants of Lord Fog's empire who were declared criminals by The First Order. The situation has been resolved, but relations remain shaky.
 * The Drunk Division of Castrenya - Indifferent.
 * The Democratic Republic of The Hobolic Republic - Indifferent.
 * The Federacy of the Socialist Union of Citizens - Indifferent.
 * The Bliss Sovereign Democracy of Lechanster - Indifferent.

<p style="text-align: center;">

Sectors
All Sectors, as mentioned before, are run by a Sector Governor (or simply Governor) designated personally by Supreme Commander Benthamic. All Governors adhere to strict constitutions and are immediately taken out of office should they violate the terms of The Chiss Descendancy. Otherwise, they are largely free to rule their colonies as they see fit. They are also permitted to build their own militias and pursue small-scale military efforts that do not interfere with Chiss agendas; a luxury all but two of the colonies freely enjoy.

Chiss Culture
The Chiss people, known for their haunting blue skin and piercing red eyes generally believed themselves to be quite cultured, while in reality this was only due to their extremely high view of their own traditions and futuristic technology. In truth, the Chiss citizens knew little about the outside world, and the same could be said for outsiders about the mysterious Chiss.

Birth
Originally a very dangerous and expensive procedure, the birth process has been perfected over the years. In short, during labor, Chiss babies are quickly terminated using pulse disruptors, removed from the womb, stripped nearly all their vital organisms, and refitted with intricately designed cybernetic implants. Traditional life as humans see it is looked upon with disgust by most Chiss as most of them are technically not alive, only meeting their end once their cybernetics are permanently rendered obsolete. To ensure 100% purity, several Chiss cities are fitted with their own 100 mile radius pulse disruptors, devices that quickly slow organic heartbeats to a stop once they come within range. As such, cities such as Valencia are never visited by humans.

Organ Harvesting
In addition to the immediate harvesting of any newborn Chiss, compulsory harvesting by way of importation is commonplace. The Descendancy's leading import is that of foreign criminals, all of which are collected overseas and escorted to a harvesting facility for immediate disintegration. All organs are repurposed into a "superfuel," named Sextion Ex, most of which is used to power the nation's war droids and keep Valencian architecture intact.

Organ fuel from foreign criminals is usually treated as a poor man's fuel while that of Chiss infants is highly valuable and sought after, some of it even being used to power massive pulse disruptors.

Class System
Chiss society is broken down into three primary classes, each with their own niche in society. Those of higher classes are usually those who have the rare favor of the Supreme Commander or were simply born with greater genes.
 * High Class (Kizz'iruoli'tager) - Marked by their distinct bright cyan skin, the High Classmen are the Descendancy's rich nobles, landlords, politicians, and war veterans. Generally, only those with the brightest skin were considered High Class, though exceptions could be made depending on a person's achievements. High Classmen are fitted with the most expensive cybernetics, allowing them to live for upwards of a century. Estimated 10% of the population.
 * Military (Jamm'icun'ardeg) - A highly glorified niche of citizens, most military servicemen were born into service. Those in the military usually had the common dark blue skin and intense red eyes. From birth, their prime directive in life is to follow every command from the Supreme Commander to the word. Their cybernetics allow him to "telepathically," communicate with them individually and issue special orders. Military men could usually afford decent cybernetics with slightly above human life expectancy. Estimated 30% of the population.
 * Slaves (Vrawe'agoat'uzu) - The eternal working class of the Chiss. Almost all Slaves can be identified by their dark grayish skin, and indication of racial impurity. They are fitted with intentionally inferior cybernetics that expire after only 50 years or so in an effort to ensure no slave rebellions spring up. Their lives are entirely controlled by their masters, the rich Valencian barons of the High Class. A baron can own up to thousands of slaves depending on their wealth and business type. Each baron is assigned to a specific sector such as Information Technology or Arms Manufacturing. Depending on what baron they are assigned to at birth, the slaves drive the Chiss economy and all of its industries.

Valencia
The both luxurious and toxic capital city of the Chiss has two sides to it. On the ground, most of the Descendancy's heavy industry is maintained by millions of Slaves. The city is almost always completely drenched by pouring rain with the only natural light coming from the constant lightning flashes as no sun is visible, rendering terms such as day and night meaningless. The lower levels of the city are almost uninhabitable and workers are usually fitted with gas masks to prevent inhaling toxic fumes. A High Classman would never show their face on the ground levels, though a staggering Military population is present to ensure high worker enthusiasm. Small uprisings are common, though most of them end in mass executions performed by the government before they can even begin.

The other side to Valencia, however, is the star-studded capital advertised throughout the nation. High above the clouds, massive skyscrapers extend miles up into the sky, most of which are completely off limits to the Slave population. The upper levels of Valencia are weather-free, too high in orbit to be burdened with storms or other weather at all. On the very top of these skyscrapers, the vast majority of the High Class population can be found spending their lives in completely worry-free lavish paradise. The nobles and barons take up residence on the highest levels of the skyscrapers and in massive floating domes overlooking the planet below. Rooftops are often used as massive plazas for the rich to relax and gather in. The nation's greatest works of art and scientific breakthroughs are made in the sky city of Valencia, perhaps the greatest creation of the entire Descendancy.

High Class citizens travel from skyscraper to skyscraper with lavish shuttles named "Skyhoppers." Every building is equipped with a Skyhopper hanger bay, virtually all of them bustling with activity every hour of the day. The departure terminals are manned by strange androids that look vaguely lifelife but more machine than organic in nature. Each shuttle has a relatively large maximum capacity and is manned by two pilots and at least one protector droid.

Location/Geographical Details
The Chiss Descendancy is situated near Mallandia and Zoomerpolis. It is widely regarded as the most polluted region in the GFW, though most of its prominent cities are relatively clean. Geography within the Descendancy shows great variation within relatively small areas; the southern regions tend to be quite mountainous while the north is known to be extremely harsh and cold. Several islands jut out from the mainland, some even housing their own colonies. Valencia, the capital of the Eternal Empire, is situated in the heart of The Chiss Descendancy.

Chiss Military
The black armored Chiss military is highly respected and feared by both their allies and their enemies. With each standard soldier equipped with multi-million Praetor battle armor and a plethora of war droids to accompany them, the Chiss are among the greatest military in the GFW.

Standard Soldier


The most common ground unit, the standard soldiers are used for both defense and offense, each of them rigorously trained to work in tandem with AI-controlled allies. Their white armor was designed to blend in with their homeland's snowy climate, and some camouflage squadrons are in active service.

Several subdivisions of the standard soldier exist.
 * Firestormers - Marked by a single red left shoulderpad. Armed with distinctive personal shield generators on their backs, large flamethrowers, and standard close-quarters pistols. Typically seen being escorted by standard infantry during invasions.
 * Jump Troopers - Marked by a single black left shoulderpad. Armed with jump packs on their backs (burst jetpacks), rapid fire shotguns, two standard pistols, and one grenade. Extremely versatile and commonplace.
 * Shock Troopers - Marked by a single orange left shoulderpad. Armed with high powered rifles, shoulder-mounted rocket launchers, three incendiary grenades, heavy armor, and squad shield generators. Typically used to destroy enemy infastructure or wreak havoc on ground forces.
 * Riot Troopers - Marked by a single white left shoulderpad and distinctive black marks on their helmets. Armed with electric stun staves, two poisonous gas canisters, and one flash grenade. Typically used as the bulk of invasion forces and escorted by standard troopers. Some are equipped with personal shield generators.
 * Honor Guards - Identical to standard troopers in design but with a reversed color scheme. Armed with high powered handheld burst cannons, jump packs, electric stun batons, and standard pistols. Most often seen in small groups accompanying the Supreme Commander or other high ranking officials.
 * Pilots - Though the Old Empire treated its pilots as expendable and were generally looked down upon by other divisions, the pilots of the First Order are counted among the most important cogs in the Chiss war machine. They wear black armor similar to the Honor Guard, but are distinguished with red markings painted on each of their helmets by hand, a ceremony that dates back to the earliest days of the First Order. They are typically armed with simple pistols and rifles, but their main weapon is their personal fighter.

Vindicator Droids


Powered by harvested organ fuel, half of the Descendancy's Vindicator's prime directive is to risk their lives to defend Chiss civilians and uphold peace; the other half are programmed to completely obliterate any living thing that doesn't have blue skin. For their relatively simple programming, Vindicators are easy to deploy across the globe, with their goals ranging from serving as bodyguards for government officials to assassinating high priority enemy targets. In recent years, Vindicators have been seen leading charges into the heat of battle, serving as vanguards for the Eradicators and standard soldiers.

Chiss Pursuers


The Chiss Pursuers operate under the direct authority of Supreme Commander Benthamic. While not strictly military personnel, they are considered important within the Chiss hierarcy for their "behind-closed-doors," operations. These operations included sabotage of enemy supplies, espionage of enemy secrets, and ensuring that the greater Chiss miltary had access to an ideal amount of rations and weapons before engaging in battle. Pursuers occasionally even served as foreign diplomats, however most other nations looked upon them with severe distrust, thus leaving the duty mainly to higher ranking government officials or the Supreme Commander himself.

Chiss Drones


Perhaps the most controversial of all military units is the Chiss Drone. After the passing of legislation only a few years ago, it was decided that a small fraction of imported foreign criminals would be fitted with cheaply made cybernetics and have the contents of their mind erased and replaced with a central "hivemind." Within only a year, hundreds of thousands of Drones were completed and shipped off to war. Due to their relatively cheap production and easy assembly, the Drones quickly became the most commonplace military unit, usually only equipped with a standard issue rifle with only a few rounds of ammunition. After their ammo is expired, they are programmed to self destruct within 60 seconds, prompting them to desperately throw themselves into clusters of enemies in an attempt to eliminate as many as possible before being destroyed. After being transferred into their central hivemind controlled by the Supreme Commander, the Drones lose all former memories, essentially having their humanity erased. The Droning process was considered to be below even the lowest Chiss, thus the program was only open to human criminals from other nations such as Edgelandia and Zoomeropolis. Several unwilling nations have deemed the process a war crime in the past, however The Chiss Descendancy has ensured that the scandal is sufficiently kept under wraps at all times.

Arms

 * JB-007 - The standard issue rifle for all First Order troops. Instead of bullets, the rifle fires highly concentrated blasts of plasma; these blasts are invisible to the naked eye and travel several hundred times faster than any bullet. Troopers must still be mindful of their rifles overheating from extended use.
 * JY-900 - Standard issue close quarters pistols for the First Order. Functions using plasma blasts, just as its counterpart the JB-007. Somewhat faster rate of fire compared to the JB.
 * JU-671 - High powered, rapid fire shotguns. Uses plasma and fires at a significantly slower rate than the JY and JB, but considerably more lethal. It should be noted that the JU's cooling capabilities are far superior to its sisters'.
 * FO-895 - Mid-to-long range flamethrower used by Chiss Firestormers. Operate using organ fuel as opposed to traditional power sources. Targets may be scorched from up to 10 meters away with an approximately 3 meter radius.
 * FI-437 - Long range "rocket launcher," used by Shock Troopers. Highly volatile blasts of plasma are used instead of rockets.

Aircraft

 * Polaris Capital Ship - At around 700 meters in length, the wedge-shaped Polaris Capital Ship was the pinnacle of Chiss engineering and military superiority. With each Capital Ship being equipped with 30 turbo lasers, ion cannons, and missile launchers on either side, their primary objective was that of defense, though in very rare occasions they may be employed offensively to provide orbital support for ground forces. Currently, there are approximately 72 Polaris Capital Ships in active service, with the majority of them being docked at Icepick Base or patrolling the Valencian sky. Supreme Commander Benthamic personally commands at least one Polaris Capital Ship, the Infallible, which is estimated to be twice the size of the standard with three times the firepower.
 * Upsilon 945 Transport Shuttle - With relatively little firepower or speed capabilities, the Upsilon 945's primary purpose is to escort as many troops as possible to the battlefield in an efficient matter. Each shuttle may hold up to 50 troopers at a time with extra storage space for battlefield supplies.
 * LITH-582 Atmospheric Superiority Fighter - Commonly referred to as Vultures by outsiders. The latest in a long line of standard fighters for the First Order, the LITH-582 can be operated by one or two pilots, but is usually operated by two for maximum efficiency. One pilot assumes directional control of the fighter and operates the targeting missiles (which may be equipped with Hyperspace Disturbance Lasers, Sonic Screamers, or Nerve Bombs depending on the situation) while the other pilot operates the main rotating gun. The gun is a larger, more devastating version of the standard plasma weapons employed by Chiss ground forces and can shoot enemy fighters out of the sky or level buildings with ease. The fighter is plated with reinforced Valencian iron, preventing damage from most conventional sources. The LITH-582 is capable of travelling far into the planet's atmosphere and beyond, though it can only last so long in the full vacuum of space.
 * LITH-682 Atmospheric Superiority Bomber - A more specialized version of the LITH-582, the 682 functions as the main bombing craft for the First Order. Though the 582 may occasionally be fitted with specialized missiles, wreaking havoc on enemy forces and infrastructure in a variety of ways is the strong suit of the 682. Only operated by one pilot who controls both the steering and may dispense a barrage of specialized explosives with ease.
 * LITH-782 Atmospheric Superiority Interceptor - Lighter, smaller, and faster versions of the standard 582. Operated by one pilot with no bombing capabilities, only a basic plasma gun.

Non-Traditional

 * The Finalizer - Disguised as a harmless orbital satellite, the Finalizer is in truth a massive mobile battle station that may be situated anywhere in the planet's atmosphere at any given moment. A doomsday weapon of apocalyptic proportions, the Finalizer is powered by the sun's rays. After charging for up to a week, the considerable amount of solar power is converted into a pure beam of radiation and fired at the target. The beam cannot be seen with the naked eye. Once the beam hits its target on the surface, the entire area within hundreds of miles is completely decimated by the initial shockwave. All life is immediately eradicated by the sheer amount of radiation being discharged. A massive crater is formed at ground zero. Any and all buildings within the blast radius are ripped off their foundations and torn to the ground. The radiation left from the blast is enough to render the affected area and beyond (800+ miles depending on blast intensity) uninhabitable for centuries.
 * Pulse Disruptors - Outside of prominent Chiss cities, these weapons of mass destruction have a very important place on the battlefield. Relatively easy to set up, Pulse Disruptor machines resemble small wind turbines pointing upwards. Every few moments, Pulse Disruptors emit a wave of nerve-attacking radiation in all directions. Should any lifeforms be caught in the radius of the weapon, their heartbeat immediately grinds to a halt, inflicting cardiac arrest. Most die instantly. The radius, depending on the size, may vary from 50 to 500 meters. Most Pulse Disruptors may be remotely triggered on or off.
 * Hyperspace Disturbance Lasers - Also known as Black Hole bombs. Fired from a heavily armed cannon, this laser, when fired, creates a gravitational anomaly at its target location; the resulting anomaly resembles a black hole. After manifesting for a few short moments, the disturbance indiscriminantly begins to suck in any terrain, life forms, weapons, etc. within 50 meters. The disturbance liquefies anything caught within its event horizon. After a ten second rampage, the disturbance collapses in on itself, causing a volatile thermal implosion that annihilates anything within the 70 meter blast radius. Small-scale black hole grenades are sometimes carried by Shock Troopers.
 * Atmospheric Modification Rays - Used to a variety of different effects, the Atmospheric Modification Ray does precisely that: the very climate of an area may be completely changed by the ray's onslaught. Requiring only a short charge-up time and the proper calibrations, the target area is either completly fried or completely frozen by the ray. The ray's effects are permanent and may cause significant ecological damage.
 * Sonic Screamers - Fired from a small cannon or thrown via grenade, the Sonic Screamer emits intensely strong waves of sound to incapacitate targets. If designated, a Sonic Screamer may permanently destroy the hearing of an entire group of enemies. Most Screamers are usually accompanied by a blinding flash of light to further damage the target(s).
 * Sword Traps - Also known as Skyward Swords. Small mines placed on the ground that emit invisible motion-detecting lasers up to 50 miles into the sky. When any object (usually a foreign aircraft) triggers the laser, a tiny chip is ejected from the mine and shot upward at thousands of miles per second. After it is allowed a few moments to confirm that it has latched on to a hostlile aircraft, the chip self-destructs in a spectacular fashion. The perimeter of Icepick Base is notoriously littered with Sword Traps.
 * Nerve Bombs - Small missiles or handheld bombs that explode and release toxic chemicals into the air upon meeting its target. These toxins, depending on their dosage, may do anything from knock a group of targets unconscious to poisoning entire squads. Very rarely, toxins may cause hallucinogenic effects on the target, flooding their minds with Chiss propaganda or endlessly torturing them with incessant internal torture, causing permanent psychological damage. Impact radiuses vary.

Campaign into Samtansia (Resolved)
On October 12, 2015, in response to the recent decision made by King Sam to give Chiss refugees shelter, Supreme Commander Benthamic officially declared the commencement of a campaign into Samtansia to bring the illegal refugees to justice back in the Descendancy, by force if needed. The full official statement is below:

"The Chiss Descendancy has been a nation of tradition and justice for more years than many can boast. There was a time, however, in which the glorious homeland of the Chiss was ruled by another, my predecessor, who led the entire nation into ruin. This pretender is now long dead, but remnants of his foolish empire still remain. Many decades ago, I gave these remnants - these Chiss refugees who did not kneel to The First Order when given the chance - an ultimatum. Two choices: they may bend their knees to their new Commander and assimilate into the new Chiss culture and live a prosperous life, or they may remain illegal separatists - traitors to the Eternal Empire - and be eradicated.

Many fell in line, but unfortunately some lives had to be sacrificed in the end. It has come to my attention, however, that illegal remnants of the old ways still persist, and regrettably, right under our noses. In recent weeks, these refugees have flocked to neighboring countries within the GFW, particularly Samtansia, and have since firmly assimilated into these alien cultures. This must not be allowed to continue.

To any nations within the GFW who have dared to defy the laws of the Chiss Descendancy, heed my warning. These refugees are traitors who have committed crimes against the Eternal Throne of The First Order, and by giving them asylum, you blatantly mock our traditions and injure an already fragile peace.

To King Sam of Samtansia - you will have no warnings. Soldiers of The First Order will immediately be dispatched to recover any illegal Chiss in your nation, whether they are common criminals or wealthy businessmen, if such a thing even exists in your nation. These Chiss will be brought to justice in their homeland, where they belong. Should any nation defy the Eternal Throne - be it Samtansia or any other offender - and seek to give additional shelter to these criminals, prepare for swift retaliation.

The galaxy is ours to grasp. Let us reach!"

After a month-long stalemate, First Order forces withdrew from the Samtansian campaign following an agreement made by the two nations' leaders. In exchange for rudimentary mining quarry schematics, King Sam readily surrendered the Samtansian-Chiss refugees to Supreme Commander Benthamic. The prisoners have accordingly been retrieved from Samtansia and are currently awaiting trial in The Chiss Descendancy.
