Profile Jigufor

Created by: Jay

Occurrence: STB-600 Game, Due south of the Galra

Number of Members:
7 Billion people.

Nature of Members:
Humans and genetically modified humans

The genetically engineered people are called the Leumalas. They are very strong, very smart and very durable. But they have a gestation period of two years and seem to take 25 years to fully grow up.

They are colored blue and generally have red, bronze or auburn hair. They look like very large, muscular, blue humans with craggy faces.

Recently there was a civil war. The Leumalas were one faction of the war, which was fought to prevent the core of the Confederation of Jigufor from being able to impose it's will on the other factions. The Leumalas were fighting for independence and self rule, a condition that did not hold when the war started.

The peace treaty that ended the war addressed some, but not all of the intramural problems, but mainly guaranteed self-rule for the Leumalas, which they consider a major win.

Organization:
The Planet Jigufor has numerous nations, bound together in a confederation, currently, due to a war just coming to an end.

Each nation has it's own civil and military organizations, although these are slowly fading in importance.

The Confederation of Jigufor is the court of appeal between nations and is growing it's own bureaucracy to handed needed functions.

The Biggest part of the Confederation of Jigufor is the "Space Force" a war fighting force designed and built to fight a recent civil war. So many of the functions of the Confederation are currently under Military control.


Game Role:
Jay Imports "Exo-Squad" into the Game

World Role:
A world on the far side of the Bendarri Empire.

Relative Influence:
Minuscule - the Humans of Jigufor do not yet have their own warp drives.

Public or Secret?:
In the Federation, especially in the far region, unknown.

Relative Wealth:
Compared to the Bendarri and the Galra, tiny. Compared to an individual huge.

Group advantages:
The Jigufor are a highly militarized culture, and have a lot of combat veterans

Special Abilities:
The Jigufor are very healthy, good looking people. They've have good genetic engineering for a while and less of the ethical restrictions on using them. So each couple has their children genetically treated to be "Above average" A lot of disabilities and genetic diseases have all but disappeared.

Group disadvantages:
They do not have Warp drive and have just been contacted by two forces who may not have their best interests in mind.

Special disadvantages:
They are right next to a militaristic, expansionist culture.

Relations:
The Galra: The Galra have just done a reconnaissance in force, with scout ships fanning all over the Jigufor system and blowing stuff up to measure the response. Although the Jigufor can make a fight of it, things are not looking good.

The Musari/Orions: An independent scout ship manned by Musari and Orions has made contact. They have sold their information they gathered on the open market.

The Musari want to support the Jigufor in their upcoming fight against the Galra. The Orions want to hold up the Jigufor for profits for help.

The Bendarri are considering whether they can help the Jigufor and if this will start a wr against the Galra and how much this will cost.


Area of Operation:
Far Northwest of the map.

Headquarters Location:
Codonell City on Jigufor. Looks like a strange mix of Techno-modern and Japanese classic.

The HQ of the Confederation is there as well as High Command for the Confederation of Jigufor Space Force.

The System:
Home System of the Jigufor Is called Ijobali. It's huge. It's a binary Star system with two type G dwarf stars. They orbit each other at 60 AUs. Ijo is the Star Jigufor orbits. Bali is the other star.

With fusion drives and artificial gravity, the Jigufor can move between the two.

Jigufor is Class M and has two neighbors close to class M, but not quite.

Bali has two class M planets Neoshwa and Genoshwa Neoshwa is barely class M.

The system has gas giants orbiting the barycenter and lots of asteroids and dwarf planets. It seems as if the two stars captured each other millions of years ago, throwing their systems into some disarray.

Asteroid mining is common and space cities are all over the system.

The ability to get to Neoshwa and Genoshwa in reasonable amounts of time set off a land rush.

The Leumalas were created to colonize Neoshwa, a difficult environment and support mining there. Corporations have tried to land rush areas all over the system Establishing that the Confederation rules applied to Corporations was one element of the civil war.

Public Face:
Stalwart defenders of the Good

Notable Members:
Exo-Squad 1 - A team of solders who use battlesuits to accomplish difficult missions. As the war goes on, they become very experienced and even assist in intelligence and recon work.


History of the Organization:

2343 - Jigufor discovers fusion power and begins to spread all over the Ijobali system.

2363 - The initial land rush for territory on the new worlds is in full swing.

2383 - The first generation of Leumalas are born. They are born large to facilitate getting to work earlier.

2400 - Tensions rise between the Southern Bloc, Corporations and the Leumalas and the Northern bloc. The planetary congress becomes helpless.

2403 - Several nations, corporations other factions announce that the Planetary Congress has been hijacked by the Northern bloc and declare war to force Northern bloc leaders out of power. The Leumalas join the war on the southern bloc side with promises of freedom.

The Northern bloc and allies have prototype weapons systems and vague ideas of how to space war. They struggle to adapt to the new crisis. The planetary congress is quickly superseded by a war time alliance.

2406 - Action teams liberate documents from Southern bloc nations and Corporations indicating that they have no intention of freeing the Leumalas. The Corporations feel they need the Leumalas as property to continue to profit from the Neoshwa mines. The Alliance makes a declaration of rights that includes the Leumalas. The Leumalas switch sides.

2406 - Jigufor scientists complete work on a primitive subspace telescope and discover Subspace radio. Work begins on decoding the mysterious messages, and refining this new technology.

2407 - The Alliance war machine, now experienced and built up wins the war and forces the Southern Bloc and surviving Corporations to sue for peace. The Alliance becomes a Confederation incorporating the former belligerents.

3 months after the war as demobilization plans are coming into force, Galra scouts raid Ijobali system, attacking targets chosen to gauge Jigufor military power and response. The advanced shields and weapons of the Galra are a horrible and bloody surprise for the Jigufor Space Force. Losses are heavy and enemy casualties disappointingly light.
