CharacteristicsRegarded as the best warriors and soldiers in the universe due to their almost religious devotion to war. Mintharans are known to be proud and protective of their holdings and often see it as their duty to fight for those who can't.

Mintharans are immune to all diseases and poisons and are extremely strong physically.
Homeworld: MintharMinthar is a massive planet dwarfing Jupiter in Earth's solar system and is the center of their vast Empire. Minthar is very much like Earth in gravity, atmosphere, and the terrain varies from region to region.
GovernmentThe Mintharan government is led by an Emperor and the Sovereign Council made up of military leaders and elected territorial representatives that the Emperor consults when making big decisions.
HistoryEarly HistoryEons before Humans walked on Earth, life on Minthar was thriving. The Mintharans were split into many countries with governments ranging from Monarchies, Democracies, Theocracies, and Dictatorships. Mintharan countries were often at war with one another. How ever after years and years these countries ventured into space and colonized entire worlds. After the First Mintharan Extrasolar War these nations united together and formed the Mintharan Republic.
Mintharan RepublicUnder the new Republic the Mintharans thrived and spread out colonizing systems and spreading out. The Mintharan Republic fought various wars as they colonized worlds and came into competition with other races. However the warrior spirit of the Mintharans could not be bested and the Republic seemed to win every war. The Mintharan Republic would have it's might truly tested by a fearsome force; the Kothryn Star Empire.
Thousand Year WarThe largest war the Mintharans had been involved. Fought when Humans were just learning to organize themselves into tribes, the Mintharans and Kothryns were waging an interstellar war. The war started when the Kothryn Star Empire attacked outlying Mintharan Republic worlds. The Kothryns and Mintharans did battle on numerous worlds with each side gaining the advantage but the Republic Senate was holding the Mintharan Military back. Due to the convoluted nature of the Senate the Republic was not able to strike swiftly and decisively against the Kothryns and was forced into a defensive war. That all changed after the Siege of Wayland. A Mintharan Army was being besieged by a large Kothryn force and the battle was ravaging the world. The Senate did not act to send support to Wayland and the world fell and was turned into a ruined world covered in wreckage from battle and destroyed cities. General Azrael, the commander of the Republic Military then overthrew the Mintharan Senate and named himself Emperor, he would then form the Sovereign Council made up of elected representatives and military leaders to advise the Emperor on important issues. Under the new streamlined government the new formed Mintharan Empire struck back against the Kothryn Star Empire and the Mintharans began driving the Kothryns out of their space. The Mintharans then drove into Kothryn space and began the Trinity Sieges, besieging the two fortress worlds of Kontran and Kel and the Kothryn Capital world of Kothra. During the sieges the Kothryn Emperor commissioned the World Devastator and it's massive escort fleet. The World Devastator would only drag the war out as the Kothryns managed to retake several worlds using the World Devastator and it's fleet. However the Mintharans would destroy the World Devastator in the costly Battle of Bastion, where the Kothryns aimed to destroy the Mintharan fortress world. With the World Devastator destroyed the Kothryn military began losing momentum and the Mintharan Empire finally drove the Kothryns from the galaxy.
Golden Age and Current stateAfter the Thousand Year War the Mintharan Empire took over the worlds the Kothryn Star Empire once held and increased it's wealth ten fold. Their military was strengthened and their economy flourished. The Mintharan Empire would spread out into more systems and then consolidate all their holdings. After fighting in a handful of small conflicts against other races who would challenge the Mintharans and when the Empire would spread out the Empire began a policy of isolationism. The Mintharan Empire would only get involved in other races' affairs if directly threatened, but the Mintharans would have mutually beneficial economic relationships with many races such as the Terrans and Humans. After the Kothryns resurfaced from the Uncharted Territories the Mintharan Empire would be one of the many races in the Allied Powers fighting the Kothryn Star Empire off.

The UEF was formed by the leading countries of the world, The United States of America, The People's Republic of China, The Russian Federation, Japan, The United Kingdom, France, and Germany to unite the Earth to spread out into space after the devastating Resource War (World War III) which almost ruined the Earth, after the United Nations became the UEF, small conflicts arose from countries not wanting to join the might of the UEF Military crushed all opposition and the UEF took firm control the Earth and began colonizing the Moon, Mars, and other planetoids.
UEF Army Trooper/ UEF MarineUEF Soldiers and Marines are highly trained and very disciplined fighters. They are given augmentations to increase their speed, endurance, and strength. UEF troops were highly durable combat armor that is very resistant to projectiles but energy based weapons are it's weakness. UEF Soldiers are equipped with powerful and accurate rifles that fire high powered rounds capable of taking down even the largest of foes.
UEF Orbital Drop Shock TroopersODSTs are the elite special forces soldiers of the UEF. They're armor is similar to Marines and Army Soldiers except it's black and it covers more of their body. Their helmets also completely cover their head providing more protection and their visor also displays a HUD that gives the tactical data on battles going on. ODSTs are usually sent into combat zones via orbital drop pods but are also deployed by drop ships when needed.

GovernmentA brutal dictatorship headed by an Emperor who has all authority, usually their greatest warrior.
HistoryThe Kothryns evolved on the world of Kothra which was a lush but extremely dangerous jungle world. The Kothryns were not the only sentient life forms on the world, they shared it with a race called the Vasudans. The two races clashed in several wars until the Kothryns finally began a genocidal campaign. The Kothryns wiped the Vasudans out and claimed the planet for themselves. The Kothryns advanced technologically at a fast pace and began colonizing nearby worlds establishing the Kothryn Star Empire. The Kothryns wiped out several other races through conquest until they came across the Mintharan Republic. The two Galactic Super Powers went head to head after the Kothryn Star Empire attacked the Mintharan colony world of Wayland was attacked. The war dragged on and it became clear the Kothryns would win due to the ineffectiveness of the Mintharan Senate during a total war time. After the world of Helion Prime fell to the Kothryns, General Azrael a legendary warrior and tactician overthrew the Senate. The Kothryns were then quickly dislodged from several worlds by the new Mintharan Empire. With the Mintharans closing in on Kothra the Kothryn Emperor commissioned the World Devastator a super weapon he hoped would win the war for the Kothryn Star Empire. The Weapon did work but it only extended the war. The Mintharan Navy destroyed the World Devastator and it's massive escort fleet over the Mintharan fortress world of Bastion. With the World Devastator gone as well it's huge fleet the Kothryns began losing ground again and the Mintharan Empire defeated the Kothryns. Only a few scattered fleets escaped to the Uncharted Territories of the Galaxy and there they kept the Kothryn Empire alive out of the scope of galactic affairs, slowly rebuilding. The Kothryn Star Empire would launch an all out offensive on the galactic powers to retake their holdings and defeat their hated enemy; the Mintharans. Thus began the Great Galactic War between the Kothryn Star Empire and the Allied Powers (Mintharans, Terrans, Vashrath, Humans, Bein'ru) and the Min' Taa offering their services to the highest bidder.
