The Republic of Zeleniy. (RoZ)

The year is 2138, one of the most important government decisions in Slavic history is being debated in Russian government. The vote will determine if Russia will host a massive space colonization project, aimed specifically towards Slavic countries. Backed fiercely by the poor, Slavic ultranationalists, and several foreign and domestic government figures popular in Russia, the vote passes. While the United Nations has been convincing humanity as a whole to expand and colonize together, they greatly discourage the segregated colonization project, exclusive only to the slavs and their citizens. Still, the U.N. can do nothing but chastise Russia, as the eastern bloc, with eyes drawn skyward, combine forces to initiate The Exodus Project.


The aim is to create a colonization boom on the Russian-claimed planet of Kuteznagrad. It was a planet with a primitive ecosystem, one much like earth’s millions upon millions of years ago, along with a breathable atmosphere comprised mostly of oxygen. Russia lifted the regulations on going to Kuteznagrad, and the eastern bloc governments sold tickets that were cheap enough for the poorest of the poor to purchase, about the price of a small home in rubles. These citizens would then be shipped with their family to the colony at a set date. The first 10,000 pioneers had left Earth within a month of the initiation of the Exodus Project. By 2140, the colony had 340 million, with a growing percentage of the population being born on Kuteznagrad.

The First Interstellar war set back the Exodus Project greatly. The countries of Russia, the Ukraine, Bulgaria, and Poland were the only countries that had a government structure outside of Earth. They could still contact each other and make sure what was left of their crippled navies would be in their control. The Exodus Project became the main focus of the remaining nations. They evacuated massive amounts of people, and established a single outpost in the city of Minsk, the capital of the former Belarus, which was one of the least scarred capital cities in the eastern bloc. Moscow, Warsaw, Kiev, and Sofia, the capital cities of the remaining Slavic countries in space were targeted and destroyed by nuclear strikes.

With Earth destroyed, the remaining governments and peoples agree upon forming a unified Slavic nation, named after their new colony. The first problem the Kuteznagradan people faced was expansion. There were now atleast 500 million people on Kuteznagrad after the great evacuations, many of them forced to live in poverty. The assets required to expand the cities and the fuel needed for them was scarce, and developing new nuclear plants took up a lot of time and resources. Things looked grim for expansion on the new planet until geologists discovered a new coal-like substance. It was yellowish-brown, and burned with a great intensity. However, it gave off a thick fume that was much more potent than smoke from coal. It was dubbed Yuridium. While it was obvious this was extremely unhealthy, there was no other easy alternative. As the colony expanded into a mega-city, Yuridium darkened the skies and shrouded the planet in a yellow blanket.

The year is 2278, the time of the pioneers is long gone and history. “New” humans are much stockier due to the gravity of the planet, on average about 8 inches shorter, and have a much denser bone structure. Not only that, but the mish mash of different Slavic languages has created a single unified language, Slavnok, with variations of accents that hint to the former Slavic languages. Over many decades, the ecosystem began to perish with the changing of the atmosphere, and the city dominated nearly 70% of the planet. Air became thinner and thinner and hydroponic farms were working being overworked to max efficiency as the population of nearly 1 billion began to grow unruly. People took to the streets, rioting and looting, most of them wearing military issue gasmasks. The government attempted to turn the atmosphere back, with massive “filter” factories, but they failed horribly. The atmosphere was so thick that it took days to process enough air for a thousand people. They tried to create another colony, mocked by cynical citizens as “The Second Exodus Project”, but the resources required were just too much.

In 2279, Fusion Reactor Volgograd experienced a melt down. To this day, the Zeleniyans do not know whether it was a terrorist sabotage or an accident due to government incompetence. Regardless, it was the final coffin in the Kuteznagradan government. By 2280, the Kuteznagrad government is replaced by anarchy. Mass looting, chaos, and rioting. People flee the colony by the thousands, to other human colonies. Millions died. For nearly a decade, chaos reigned. Communities that had air purifiers warred with each other, and fallout from the Volgograd event caused sickness and death in most, but in the case of some newborns, it was a new beginning, a new type of human.

In 2292 an autocratic government funded by the rich that had hid in underground shelters, orbiting stations and space ships cracked down on the chaos. They introduced themselves by advertising a baby that could breathe completely on its own, without any respirators. They dubbed the new human, “Rhg’Zez”, one that could breathe the new air. They went on to say that it is a long road to prosperity, and it will only be followed by order. The communities that huddled in the apocalyptic conditions of Kuteznagrad had no choice to follow this autocratic government that dubbed itself “Sons of Tomorrow.”

The Sons of Tomorrow broke up raiders and bandits with hired remnants of the Kuteznagradan army, tested mothers and fathers for probability of having a Child of Tomorrow, or a Rhg’Zezian baby. It was an uneasy time, but the Rhg’Zezians slowly replaced humans in government positions in the Sons of Tomorrow and the survivors of the apocalypse. The Rhg’Zez grew to have very pale skin, little to no hair, and if they did have any it was short and usually dark, and a slight resistance to radiation. The Sons of Tomorrow cracked down on non-Rhg’Zezian breeding, and geneticists worked tirelessly to increase the birth rate of this new human substantially. A long period of rebuilding followed, with the Sons of Tomorrow being disbanded, no longer needed, and was replaced by The Republic of Zeleniy in the year 2351.The proud peoples of the new nation promised to honor their ancestors, as they spread throughout the ruins of Kuteznagrad, and took to the stars once again.

During the dark ages of the Zeleniyan apocalypse, many experiments were done on adding permanent breathing apparatuses to the Humans. While it was nothing extraordinary, it sparked a revolution that carried on into the modern ages of Rhg’Zezian science. Unrestricted by the totalitarian government that presided during the dark ages, these scientists brought in hundreds of volunteers. They had lost an eye, a limb, or organs weren't functioning properly after the chaos. It was hard work; it took decades to develop a way to add permanent synthetic body parts without the body rejecting them. A Rhg'Zezian biologist decoded this problem by tricking the body into thinking these body parts being added was not hostile. This method rose above all others, and cyborg development skyrocketed. This sparked the integration of cyborg technology into Zeleniyan culture.

The Republic developed its homeworld into a production powerhouse, buying raw minerals and exporting products. The Kuteznagrad shipyards are famous for their mass production of civilian and military space craft. It has prided itself in trade and peaceful interactions with other nations. Yet the Republic holds a planet by military occupation. The Rhg'Zez has held the jungle world of Zaa'nabar in military occupation since 2416, a world inhabited by a reptilian species, the Aranek. It is rumored the Aranek defended a sacred relic which happens to be of interesting technological composition. The Rhg'Zez took the “relic”, but the government will never admit that. They are not at war with the peoples, but they were once. Now they have military forces stationed there, oppressing the reptilians who have 60's era technology.

The Zeleniyans outlaw any AI that advances beyond the knowledge of humans, or any that actively develop the capability to learn. They are extremely xenophobic to robots, drones, droids, replicants, whatever you want to call them, the Zeleniyans detest them for whatever reason.

A company of U.S.C. origins disputes a resource claim over an asteroid field with Rhg'Zezian representatives from the Zeleniyan mining company Stoilensky-GOTSK.

The Rhg'Zez are stocky human descendants, standing on average around 5’5’’. Their bone structure is much stronger than that of a human, and their skin is pale. They have little hair on their body, and if they have any it is usually dark and doesn’t grow very long. Their eyes are normal human colors but can be extravagantly different due to mutations in genes after the Volgograd Reactor incident. Lastly, they breathe carbon monoxide/dioxide, and are usually seen with a full gasmask if associated with the military or a halfmask/transparent facemask if civilian, that is if they’re outside of any of their ships or their homeworld.


An Aranek noble leaps from the brush.

The Aranek are the conquered reptilian species of Zaa’nabar. They have smooth dark blue skin, horns protruding from the side of the neck and running down their spine, and a long whipping tail. They have long, sharp talons, a muscular physique, and long snouts with large sensory organs. The Aranek can often smell something before it can see it, and have hawk eye vision to match. These sensory organs give the Aranek a high perception, but it makes the skull a very sensitive area. If hit in the skull or tip of the snout hard, the Aranek will become disorientated. An Aranek stands around 6'8''-7'3'' in height. Females are often taller.

The Aranek number atleast 2 billion, a fraction of that number actually being citizens of the RoZ. The Rhg’Zez employ them in the military and the workforce. There are few Aranek in high class positions.
