Meet Your New Neighbours
Hello Neighbour!
Now that you have an idea of what's involved in being part of The Peacekeeper Alliance, here's your chance to get to know some of the other species who are part of our wonderful tapestry of life!NOTICE
P'Ache Star System
The P'Ache Star System is the centre of the Peacekeeper Alliance, both geographically and metaphorically. It is where The Alliance grew from, with the Peacekeepers expanding out from there. It is also where Peacekeeper Command and the Three Pillars of The Alliance (Peacekeeper Diplomacy, Peacekeeper Efficiency and Peacekeeper Integrity) are based."Never has there ever been, nor will there ever be, anywhere like the P'Ache Solar System."
The Original Peacekeepers
The species from the P'Ache Star System are often referred to as Peacekeepers. The name originated from the Asora but it stuck, and they see themselves as bringing Peace to the Universe.
Primian
Primians are raised to have a very strong sense of duty, but also of decorum. While what they consider polite or impolite may differ from other ethnicities and cultures, as a collective they are in strong agreement on the subject and make sure everyone is aware of what standard they should be meeting. Judgemental may not be the right word, but they have been known to have a rigidity in their way of thinking.Majoran
Majorans are known for their resourcefulness, which is unsurprising considering the skills needed to survive on their relatively barren planet. Finding edible food, for example, took a serious amount of skill, and they quickly developed tools and methods for solving the problem. This resourcefulness has stayed with them and they are particularly good at practical and technical problem solving.Minoran
The Minorans are known within the P'Ache Star System for being thinkers rather than people who act. They are culturally brought up to believe in thinking things through thoroughly before making a decision. There's a popular phrase in Minoran culture which translates as:If in doubt, keep thinking.
Macran
The Macrans refer to themselves as the People of the Swamp. A lot of their planet is water, and the thick atmosphere retrains heat and makes the climate thick and muggy. The traditional Macran dress is designed to counteract this, with beads and fabrics wrapped around the head, neck and waist as decoration. The rest of the body is covered in intricate designs painted onto the skin in mud.Primary Territories
The Primary Territories is a star system which consists of 26 planets which orbit a star named by the Peacekeepers as Prime. Of these planets, six of them have native sapient species on them. These planets are varied in geography, climate and the species which call them home. Some, like Tribor, have popular resorts and holiday destinations, while others are more brutal and far less welcoming."I have often been heard to refer to The Primary Territories as my home away from home. Not that they are always the most like my beloved P'Ache Solar System, but that they are by far the most advanced and their culture most like that of the planets in my home system."
Start of the Alliance
The Primary Territories is arguably the second most important star system in The Alliance for the simple reason that it was the discovery of this star system and the connection with the Asora that prompted the founding of the Peacekeeper Alliance.
Nibs
Nibs consider themselves all to be naturally loyal and loyalty is an important part of their culture. This could come from their evolution from pack animals, but as a result they struggle with the idea that anyone would want to do anything by themselves. it is seen as disloyal to others to not give them an opportunity to join you on whatever task needs to be achieved.Borer
The Borer mostly live in the mountainous areas of Tribor, and many, especially the man, spend long days, weeks and even months out in the elements by themselves. As such they are adapted to dealing with all types of inclement weather and believe that they can power through more or less anything. They have a "this will pass" mentality which extends to all areas of their life.The Aspiration System
The Aspiration System consists of 18 planets, all of which orbit the star which is known as Aspire, and were so named by the Peacekeepers when they named the system. Of those planets, four of them had sapient species on them when the Peacekeepers arrived, and one, Solidarity, was considered habitable and settled on."There are many planets in the Aspiration System - not as many as in the Primary Territories, but still quite a few - and of all these planets, Solidarity is absolutely my favourite. No, it's not just because there are no other sapient peoples on this planet, but because it is beauty and luxury rolled into one. This is what Aspiration is all about. This is what we should all be building towards."
Something To Aim For
The planets within the Aspiration System have all been named by The Alliance after values they hold close and for everyone to aspire to.
Brugen
The Brugen pride themselves on their ability to think and create. They consider themselves more enlightened than the Nebrug and any other species on their planet (and many off-planet too). Artists, creatives, writers and performers as well as philosophers and thinkers are highly prized in their society.Nebrug
The Nebrug see themselves as exceeding in disguise. Their ability to hide, or change their colour, is something that they prize highly, and this includes a level of social flexibility and deception. The ability to disguise themselves makes them extremely illusive.The Victalis System
The Victalis System has approximately 16 planets or planetary bodies which orbit the star, known as the Victal. Only five of these planets support life. This system is the furthest from P'Ache Star System and the takes some effort to travel to, but you will find evidence of the species who originate in this star system across the Peacekeeper Territories."The Victalis System may be the furthest out, but that doesn't mean it's not worth a quick visit."
A Victorious Endeavour
When they discovered the Victalis System, the Peacekeepers were delighted with the opportunity to bring a whole new group of people into The Alliance. So they named it Victalis for the victory it was.
Vkan
The Vkan are known across the Peacekeeper Territories for their ability to adapt and change based on whatever hardship is thrown at them. This reputation is well earned, but has spread the way that it has because of the way they picked up the technologies offered by the Peacekeeper s in the form of artifical arms and other appendages.Lcha
The Lcha are reknowned for their resiliance. Their planet has suffered some major natural disasters, but the Lcha have survived through it all. This is in part because of their burrows beneath the surface, partly because they have an indifference to pain and partly because their biology and anatomy are resistent to a plethora of illness which would fell most other creatures.Clebveth
The Clebveth are quite a spiritual group of people by nature. Even those who aren't part of one of the sects or monasteries will follow one or more of the five major Clebveth religious orders. They have a tendency to be overwhelmed and find things extremely stressful, which impacts their body quickly and can cause death. They find solace in religion as a way of dealing with those anxieties.Suuu
The Suuu think of themselves as pioneers. Their very name is about forward-looking. They are resourceful and are constantly working to improve things for themselves. When the Peacekeepers landed they had already achieved a primitive version of space travel, and their pride was rubbed the wrong way by the Pachian's condescending attitudes.Terror
The Terror are known for being obtuse and difficult to work with. They have a strong set of ideas and cultural norms which are very different from those of the Peacekeepers. They may not think of themselves as difficult, but it is understood that each Terror has their own mind and it is not necessarily easily swayed.Now I've Met The Neighbours, What Next?
It's not surprising that now that you're part of The Alliance, you want to become more involved and meet some of your new neighbours. There are lots of ways you can do just that.Sign Up For Updates

We need everyone on the lookout for suspicous behaviour. One of the things we often find with new planets is that some people can struggle to understand the benefits of The Alliance and cause issues. The last thing we'd want is a couple of bad actors spoiling this exciting opportunity for everyone.Work For Your Command
Each planet that joins The Alliance has a Command which reports into the Command for the Solar System. We are always looking for willing volunteers to help out, and you may be able to work your way into being a fully-fledged member of the Command.Start A Career With The Alliance
If you are feeling particularly ambitious, then there is only one place to be. The Peacekeeper Academy is an elite educational institution which is only for the best of the best, but if you have what it takes it's the only place to be.Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I learn more about the history of the Alliance?
First off, we love the enthusiasm. But we have some great news... Now that you're part of The Alliance, you don't have to spend a lot of time worrying about boring things like history. We are forward thinking, and we're excited about helping you grow with us!Why does my planet have a number now?
Great question! In order to keep track of planets, and ensure our internal communications are as efficient as possible, we have a process for the Categorisation of Peacekeeper Planet Types. This is also where your new User ID comes from.Wait, What's a User ID and why do I have one?
User IDs are what we use to keep track of everyone within The Territories. It is assigned to you, keeps track of your Paks (your new currency) and allows you to log in to any data points. It's also what you'll be able to use to hear the latest from our Truthseekers and other important updates.I keep hearing about Truthseekers, What are they?
The question should be who are they. Truthseekers work for the P'Ache Prime Media Outlets, and travel across The Territories, seeking out information and news so that they can share it with everyone. They are always on the hunt for truth and are the best source of daily information.
Please note that all interactions with this and all future communications provided by The Peacekeeper Alliance, or received by or sent from anyone within The Peacekeeper Territories, may be tracked and recorded for training and security reasons.
