That is a silly yet great idea. Spice is priceless within galactic markets, and highly sought after by the Aktangians (my nation).
I am writing the next post rn.
Logic defines machines. The lack of logic defines organics.
That is why we're responsible for creating an archive of all life, and you organics are not.
Speak for yourself lol.

Lore
The First Era:
Before humans and any other species even came into existence...There was a civilisation of hyper-advanced aliens only known as 'The First Ones', a galaxy spanning state with technology so advanced it may as well be magic. It is unknown what they looked like, but speculations state that they at some point merged with machines, becoming both of flesh and steel. With their technology they bent reality to their will, becoming gods among this empty galaxy with no one to challenge them. The First Ones spread the seed of life across the galaxy, terraforming all terrestrial worlds and giving them an opportunity to create life. It seems their only goal was for life to emerge, their architecture seemingly only fit for the purpose of creating habitable worlds. And once the galaxy was vibrant with life and habitable worlds as numerous as stars in the night sky...The First Ones vanished, maybe they left to continue their mission on other galaxies, or ascended to a higher plain of existence...The only thing that was left was small fragments of their once great nation and architecture, too advanced for anyone to use as his own. Many of the terraformed worlds went back into being uninhabitable, left to fate. But the rest flourished life into what is now this vibrant little sector of the Galaxy.
The Second Era:
Sol...Terra... Home of the humans. Once the nations of Terra united under a single banner did they begin to prosper, discovery after discovery as they crawled towards other planets within their system to call home. First was Ares, an orange planet of dunes and potential. Then Hesperus, a hostile environment filled with resources to last humanity for millennia to come. Space cities were constructed and the navy grew, and colonies were expanding at a rapid pace and technology being developed like never before... The Sol Federation was born... Soon the Gas Giants and their moons were put under the banner of the Sol Federation, each corner of the system being conquered by the proud humans.
Then they looked outside their system... The discovery of Webway nodes brought hope and the possibility that humans may colonise the rest of the galaxy. Ship after ship, and expedition after expedition the Federation sent towards these nodes. Though it would prove dangerous than it first seemed. Ships were torn to shreds as they approached the Webway nodes, some managed to make it close enough only to lost in their journey, and others appeared far from their destination and dropped randomly in the cold vast galaxy...
And like many things, the Sol Federation would not live forever. Political infighting and eventual civil war stopped any attempts to leave their home system, isolating the few human colonies that managed to establish themselves. Once the war was over, the Republic was born and the once hopes and dreams to expand their reach...Was discarded and forgotten...The colonies were left for themselves, some forgot of Terra while others clinged to the hope that some day they may return to their homeland...
The Third Era:
But now...It is time to write your own story, and shape your own path. Humanity is scattered across the stars, some have chosen to forget their old ways and create a place for themselves, while others try to find their way back home. And the galaxy is teeming with alien life as they too are expanding into the cosmos, writing their own paths...So what shall you do?

Rules
Technologies
The technologies of Nova Galactica can vary wildly depending on the aesthetics, lore, and already established sci-fi nations you choose to base your infrastructure, politics, and military on. However it is standard that all nations in Nova Galactica are space-faring with the ability to live on other worlds and achieve FTL (Faster than Light) travel using 'Webway nodes'. In Nova Galactica, nations are able to build ships that reach 1KM+ in size, though in most cases that is reserved for large nations with powerful economies as building and maintaining such ships would be expensive. FTL travel in Nova Galactica is through the use of the 'Webway', the Webway is distortions in space and time which connect one system to another, and ships are able to enter the Webway by simply accelerating fast enough into the Webway. It works similarly to Hyperlanes from star wars just with a different name, the entrance and exit fields of a Webway node are very massive which makes it hard to bottleneck and hold down a single point of exit. No gates or special facilities need to be built to use a Webway node, simply the ships capable of achieving enough speed to enter the Webway node. The speed at which you can travel from one system to another usually takes hours, and at most a day of travel.
The military aspect of Nova Galactica is mainly between planetary forces, airplanes, and space forces (Also sometimes referred to as the navy). Wars in Nova Galactica have to be Roleplayed through the use of the RMB, each action, battle, or military decision has to be published in a post to which the nation you are fighting against can respond to. This goes the same with diplomacy and character RPs, you cannot build ships or colonise a world without first posting it on the RMB. And to ensure that everyone is roughly on the same page in terms of technology and aspects of industry and military there are restrictions on certain aspects of Sci-fi that are deemed too OP and bring an unfair advantage to those who decide to employ it against those who chose not to:
Superheroes / demi-gods / heavily augmented individuals
Other FTL methods other than using the Webway
Planet destroying ships and weapons
Ships as large as planets or continents
Time travel and bending the fabric of space
Creating blackholes or other dimensions
Calling upon Gods or miracles
Using technology from a more advanced race that vanished
Mind control technology
The use and weaponization of biological leviathans / Kaijus
*Magic of any kind* (This rule is in the process of evaluation and may change)
Nova Galactica also restricts what some sci-fi franchises and universes aren't allowed to be replicated in the map due to their OP mechanics and technology:
Warhammer 40k
Doctor Who
Xeelee sequence
Culture
Dune
Marvel and DC Comics
---------------
And finally, there are basic rules that extend to all NS related RP which are:
No Metagaming - Using OOC (Out of character) information to your advantage in a RP setting
No Godmodding - Being unreasonable during RP or using technology too OP to exist within the setting
No Controlling other peoples or RPing for them - Self explanatory, only excusable if given permission by the other person.
Be Respectful - Please avoid any arguments and keep discussion and RP civil
Authority of the Owner - If I deem that your technology or RP is breaking any rules, I will ask that you divert your course or I will have to remove you from the map. You may be able to repeal any decisions I make by making a justification through Telegramming me.
Can only enter the map if in TEP - People are only able to join Nova Galactica if they are in 'The East Pacific' region, this is due to the fact it may be difficult for people outside of TEP to participate in the map.
---------------------
[b]First Contact: When a Human and Non-human nation make first contact, it is expected that both parties are not able to instantly understand each other. In Nova Galactica, both nations have to work together to understand each other's language through multiple RPs before they can hold meaningful conversations. However this rule does not really apply when its human to human.
---------------------
If you have any questions about rules or technology that I missed to discuss, you can reach out to me and I will gladly answer them.
Things like fireballs, magical metals, and spells are currently not cannon. If you wish to obliterate someone, you can do that with an orbital strike...

The map is still very early in its life, like 2 days old. But if you wanna join we would gladly have you.
Peatiktist and Arvorenia
I just talk to people I find interesting and boom, friends.
You said that you wanted to formalize relations, but nothings come from it...? Is that still on the table or no
Robots get high by spritzing small amounts of water on their circuitboards, I think. It's like humans sniffing glue.
Do you have sensation from it yet?
Ah cool cool, also how do we feel about the name Ak’k’ul it seems very foreign but they are Maya inspired so I thought it fit. My beautiful fish people.
Lol, don’t worry we have drugs in Yucanoa too.
Kavanos, Greater Rostoria, and Arvorenia
"I think so. Feels weird every now and then" Kahane said looking at his hand with a slight frown
I mean I like both names of your fishy people. I can imagine them becoming these aristocratic merchants that will sell spice and weapons to everyone on the Galactic market, probably even become the richest.
Still find it funny how spice of all things has become so valuable.
Yeah, no.
That doesn't get a robot high, that gives them permanent processor damage.
Hey, I congratulate you on the lore you put together.
I love that you made the succession of states after the collapse of Altusia look like something that took more years than months, which I applaud. It gives more coherence to the situation.
Yeah I uh...blockaded you when you CTE'd to stop the spread of cartels. Pretty sure the blockade is till up.
Lol I love how you say aristocratic merchants and not wealthy violent criminals. But yes that is true, I imagine that would be us, I'm still having a hard time with the name tho. Ak'k'ul works but it sounds weird to me.
Ah... well when I come back, if I deal with the cartels can I be unblockaded?
Thx!
It's still a big ol WIP, and I hope to continue to work on it but it probably wont be done for a while.
Hey Gran, now that you're here...
Where's Señor Drugs?
...
Who's asking?
Tbh I think weird names stand out and make it unique. In sci-fi I like aliens names that sound, well, actually alien. Usually they sound something from Earth.
Originally I was gonna go with a name like Ak'tanĞur. But then realised that it would be a pain for me when writing post and so just went with Aktangia.
As many drugs do for humans, yes.
'Weird'?
Snow starts to pace unconsciously, the tip of her tail jerking around in tiny, regular motions. I suppose . . . the main feedback a monastic gets from their staff is, I understand, not quite like touch. Or sight. Or smell. It is a sixth sense, which to me sounds absolutely normal, but for someone who has not experienced it before . . . I can see how its arrival could feel weird. -Do you wear any jewelry on that hand? Some materials can add a kind of noise or static, which should be no problem later but it might confound a psychic bond that's still so newly grown.
OOC: behold, an opening
Most definitely.
Gran Yucanoa and Paziano
I just want to reunite Levantin because I liked his borders. That's all, besides writing some in-depth lore.
Paziano search history:

Cool cool. I also may neeeeed a small favor, but I'll see, we can talk later.
Drugs are great and you know it Brethren.
Fair, the new one I have is the Ajaw Syndicate (Ajaw meaning lord or ruler in Mayan?)
