Alien Species in Alvin and the Chipmunks: First Contact (Alien information)
I wanted to post this info regarding the Alien species found in my fic, Alvin and the Chipmunks: First Contact. There will be many more added once the actual fic comes out (of course, that depends which AATC fic you all want me to do first, the poll is up on my profile.) For now, I will only post one species for the sneak peak of the fic. Please tell me if this is too much info, I could try to condense future updates. Also, sorry for the technical and complex word choice. I'm an extremely smart individual. Any and all OC's and species (unless otherwise specified) are my original idea and must be asked for permission before use.
The Voretox
General info
The voretox are an advanced race of aliens who's empire spans half of the Milky Way Galaxy and a few territories in the Andromeda Galaxy. A poly-theistic (multiple gods in their religious belief) religion forms a portion of their laws in their society, though most only are followed by a sect of their species known as Ardat- Yactors.
Ardat-Yactors
Ardat-Yactors are the mortal decedents of their gods and, in addition to the natural telekinetic (moving objects with ones mind) and the psychokinetic (interacting with another's mind through your own (e.g. mind reading abilities, etc.), Ardat-Yactors have heighten abilities comparable to that of a god and they have their gods powers and elements at their command, but only for the purpose of protecting the pure and punishing the wicked and the corrupt. This makes them act like medieval Knights in practice. They are feared and respected by all across the galaxy.
Government
The Voretox also have a government set up as a republic system similar to that of ancient Rome, though it differs in many ways. One key way is that the Representatives of the Voretox controlled worlds can petition the Council (the core leaders of their society) to get rid of laws they find useless or harmful.
Military
The Voretox have the largest army in the galaxy, but not the most advanced. Their ground soldiers are troopers with plasma energy weaponry and laser weaponry. Each soldier is issued a standard issue survival suit, which is almost like a metal suit, that protects them from all bullet based weapons and low intensity energy based weapons. In addition, their suits have other function depending on their role in combat. Standard troopers have a built in communications link, air filter and night vision system. Where as heavy gunners (troopers with powerful fully automatic weapons like laser mini-guns and explosive weapons like fusion energy anti-tank weapons) have personal energy shields, heavy armor, air filters, shock absorbers in arm armor (from high powered weapon fire) and a battlefield radar system. The best of the best in their military, special forces commando's (army's of one trained in the use of all weapon types and many hand to hand combat styles), of which the main OC is one, have the best tech. They have: air filters, water filters, voice translation and adjustment software, active camouflage allowing them to turn into anyone or any animal, personal shields, night vision and thermal vision, stealth generator and strength enhancing tech, making a commando twice as strong as their other counterparts. They have only one vehicle type...combat suits. These suits house one pilot (two for the air force and space force divisions) and shields them from just about anything except high intensity anti-tank plasma rounds and quantum energy weapons (more powerful than plasma.) The suits are like giant mechs (giant fighting robots in other words) and are about two to three times taller than the average human. They are built for specific roles just like the survival suits, only these house big weapons (like rifles the size of 2 full-size vans) and systems like cooling systems and hover and flight systems and tech. Voretox troopers and military personal are well respected in their society, not to a degree as an Ardat-Yactor though. Despite all this, the Voretox are not the most advanced species. Another is (I'm not spoiling the surprise though.)
Cities and Transport
The Voretox cities are gleaming jewels of engineering. They have tall skyscrapers jetting into the heavens taller than even the Empire State building stacked on it's self two or even three times. Their cities can span for miles in every direction housing anywhere from a few hundred thousand, to millions to even a billion citizens, tourists, merchants, etc. Voretox mass transit (buses, taxi's, etc.) and cars are all airborne craft with sleek futuristic designs and can go up to 175 mph running off of fusion energy cells and reactors (like all voretox machine tech.) There are also interplanetary transport hubs that move Voretox from world to world across the galaxy using slip space drives (like a hyper drive system from Star Wars.)
Fleets
Like all space traveling species, the Voretox have military and civilian space craft. The Voretox fleet is quite large, but not the largest though. That title belongs to another alien species, one that actually ranks a little lower than the Voretox with tech. They don't have combat suits, they still have their tanks and hovercopters. (Again, I won't spoil any surprises as some of these species will even have OC's in my story.) The Voretox though are praised and proud of another fact about their fleet. They have the largest ship in the galaxy, The V.R.N. Shadow of Repent. This vessel comes in at a remarkable 6 kilometers (3 miles) in length. It has some of the most impressive ship to ship ordinance and ship to planet weapons. It has plasma turrets, electron anti-fighter batteries, a main gun firing a charge capable of impacting with the force of an atomic weapon. (In newton's, units of force.) It also has a quantum catalyst cannon firing an orbital siege laser that can flatten half of a Voretox city. (Yes this vessel will be mentioned and will appear in the story.)
Biology
The average Voretox is around six feet tall. They are a Carbon based life form like humans. They even, in a way, resemble humans. Two eyes, two ears, two arms two legs, one head. They are different by their aspects of: no nose, only two nostrils; a concave ear structure, like that of a lizard's; cat like eyes; vertical eyelids, two sets, no hair, skin tone like that of a caucasian (white person.) They have a unique system of organs. They have double the organs of a human or three in some cases. Two hearts, 4 lungs, 2 stomachs, etc. They are stronger than a human outside of their suits. They have natural strength equal to that of 3 average human males, due to their many more muscles than a human. Their organ systems operate based on a fail safe system. If lets say, heart gets damaged, their body automatically starts up their second heart, which was inactive until that point in time. Voretox have a special, unique trait...they're living conduits of radiation. Their home world orbits two blue stars. In astronomy, the closer a star gets to the color violet, the hotter it gets. Over time the intensity of the two stars' heat and U.V. radiation burned away their ozone layer, which is actually NO3 instead of our O3. They were being absorbed to so much radiation that, instead of dying out; they evolved to absorb radiation. They are even healed by it. Their suits actually shield radiation from leaving their bodies, so they don't induce radiation sickness.
That is the basic info of the Voretox. To post all I have come up with including: currency, language (some words will be mentioned in the story), wars fought, Great People, impact on the galaxy, etc. would take another few pages and would probably confuse people more. This isn't even half of their species, I've had them and the galactic community planned out years ago for my first sci-fi novel. Please tell me if this is too much info, I could try to condense future updates.
