CCG for Nepleslians
Species: Nepleslian
Home Planets: Nepleslia, Damascia, Rok'veru
Government: Yamatai Star Empire
General Information
Nepleslians are the descendants of the original humans that colonized the planet. These colonists were from Damascia, and those colonists were from Rok'veru. It was generally agreed that Rok'veru was the original homeworld of the humans, until archeological evidence and the mere existence of the Nerimians and the Fenyaris placed this theory in jeopardy.
Nepleslia itself is a very developed world, and the Nepleslians are very familiar with and accustomed to machinery. Many Nepleslians have cybernetic implants and mechanical augmentations.
Nepleslia is distinguished within the Yamatai Star Empire by the talented engineers and ship designers, as well as the disciplined soldiers that it provides to the Empire.
Appearance
Nepleslians, while mostly human, also tend to be mostly male. Why the female birthrate is so low is unknown, but is suspected to be due to a super-Y-chromosome that evolved over time, which dominates the reproductive process. Some Nepleslians, however, may be mutants or part alien. A very large assortment of strange alien races resides in Nepleslia and its sister planets, many of which are from other universes and dimensions.
Culture
Nepleslian culture tends to be rather prone to violence and corruption. Criminal street gangs rove the many mega-cities, fleeing (or sometimes directly attacking) police forces. Acts of terrorism are common, and the government's idea of "welfare" is to drop bags of cash into crowded city squares, causing riots and fighting. Most of the population has some military experience, and that makes the riots and gang wars all that more lethal.
Gambling and betting are very popular, and brutal fighting events are commonplace.
An illegal slave trade also thrives on the planet. Unlike on Yamatai, slaves are treated as prisoners or even cattle on Nepleslia, and often consist of POWs, hostages, and children of other slaves.
Not all hope is lost for the planet, however. Small pockets of civilization still exists on the planet, where the police maintain law and order by being even more ruthless than the gangs that they were trained to fight.
Military
The Third Fleet of the Star Army, currently garrisoned at Nepleslia, is truly a veteran fleet. Some of its soldiers have fought in everything from the Chaos Hive War in YE 21 on Ayenee and the Battle of Nepleslia in YE 26, in which a SMX invasion force was successfully repelled after heavy losses by both sides.

In addition, Nepleslia maintains its own planetary defense fleet.
Politics
Nepleslians owe their allegiance to either a crime boss or to the planetary government, which is ruled by a military "Emperor" who is generally corrupt and unable to break from the coercion of the crime bosses, as the crime bosses often threaten the government with terrorism and anarchy in order to promote their goals. The Nepleslian government, in turn, swears fealty to the Yamatai Star Empire. In return, Nepleslia receives military protection and a promise from the Empire not to meddle in the planet's internal affairs.
Industry
Nepleslians rely on automated production for most of their goods. The planet is heavily industrialized, with almost zero land-based vegetation on the planet's surface. Some commodities that the Nepleslians do produce themselves are mecha, starships, medical supplies, and weaponry.
