Re: "Overall Power Ranking" of Species thoughout Knwn Space
Nice, CF.
And Kanuckistan's land forces consist of ~300'000 Regular Army/Marines, plus 9-10 Billion Militia(self-defence only) of widely varying quality(tho culture and tax credits are used to encourage better training and equipment, to good effect). Cultural aspects(along with the verified afterlife of their religion, and later teleoperated avatars) having had the questionable side-effect of spawning the Kanuckistani Adventurers' Guild.
All publicly available info.

Re: "Overall Power Ranking" of Species thoughout Knwn Space
Nation-wise, I tend to consider most ESUS-level powers fairly equal. In-character wise, we consider alliances as the basis of power, not nations. Some nations, such as... well, everyone here, have the power to operate alone, even in major multi-enemy wars, but most do not.
Our scale of power operates thusly.
ESUS-GE-Republic-GFFA. Individually, though, we have an immense amount of (healthy) respect for the Kanuckistani Navy, considering it was instrumental in winning the First Shivan War, as well as the Central Facehuggerians. Like all rightthinking people, we gibber in our beds at the thought of Mekantans, and, of course, we respect the ground warfare of the Sskiss. Among our allies, we tend to look more at their specific bests rather than what they can do overall. And, of course, general recognition never hurts. The more widely something or someone is feared, the more likely it is we'll pick up on that attitude.

It's amazing how a family can be torn apart by something as simple as a pack of hungry wolves.

I'm not mentioned? I'm crushed!
Anyway, my own datafiles on ESUS members coming up later.

Traileric Empire
Guide our souls to the Elysium Fields
Bear us home upon our shields
Lay coins across our brows and sound the bells
We're paying our fare on the river to Hell
And when our sons and mothers lay us upon the funeral pyre
Tell them we died Hellenic soldiers with our faces to the fire

Hmmm, I don't think I have much for anyone to say something of.
But, taking a page from CF's book, I'll do a IC post thingy, using the people posted who have posted in here for it.

Pyramid Facehugger would be fucking brutal. I don't know if I'll ever get to sleep with the thought of that genocidal rape behemoth rampaging through the large-eyed schoolgirls swimming in a sea of biceps that populate my subconscious.

I'm working on an IC one too.
Here's a hint: The word "food" is used a lot.

You were actually third in my OOC list for overall military strength. Right behind Kanuck, myself, and Mekanta. I didn't know enough about your nation to actually do an entry though.Balrogga wrote:*sigh*
I didn't know enough about Mekanta either, but I really wanted to include the tentacle fiend. After all, he was the second, and probably best RPer I've ever interacted with.
