Public Agenda
The goal of the empire to to spread to the stars in part to defend their systems but also to seek those whom had attacked them. The Agileans have resolved to spread the word of the unity to all that would hear it and deliver vengeance to those whom would attack the empire or it citizens.
History
The history of the Eris had been filled with much internal strife for most of the civilizations existence. Many countries formed and collapsed and war was commonplace. However within the last few centuries a new philosophy began to take root; The Unity. Its focus turned towards the sciences and spirituality. research was geared heavily into domestic affairs and to new technology rather than an economic return. This lead to cybernetics becoming more and more advanced both external and internal. Many began donning the now traditional 'masks' allowing neural connections with other Erissi and to systems. Over time the unity began to take a hold of more and more countries on Aglis, at first resulting in alliances and then integration into a world government. The unity becoming more focused on the species as a whole. The Erissi have not forsaken religion but believe more so that they were created to take care of themselves, only in extreme circumstances to they call upon their gods, other wide self reliance and ingenuity are their preferred states.
The government of the Eressi has evolved into a form of a constitutional monarchy where the members of the empires grand council are members of a specific trade or science as well as the general council to handle domestic disputes. Sciences have become a large focus of the Eressi to the point that their government can also be considered a form of technocracy. Advancement is deeply important to them and therefore they have grown quite efficient and technologically advanced.
Expansion is a.. Very careful subject for an Eris , their introduction to a space faring species was not an easy hurdle for them to get across, the barren expanse of space and the various hostile environments were only the tip of the proverbial iceberg for them. First contact was a disaster for them. A nomadic space faring species brushed by their first outposts and the result was a massacre. Since this experience their expansion into the current two star systems has been a calculated effort. Each planet that is a permanent colony is only set up after a planetary defense shield is erected and Aglis itself received the first.
After the first contact disaster The Eris dug in for a time but over time the unity began retooling itself to spread into the stars, slowly they will set up defenses for their holdings, never again will a planet be slaughtered by an outsider, they will not allow it. There is only one response to an attack on their people, the vengeance of the unity.
Advantages
- The Erissi possess a high technological level, though unknown when compared to others.
- They start with planetary shields.
- Erissi are eager for advancement.
- Erissi are cautious by nature.
- Erissi possess hardy immune systems, due to adaptations from the marshes of their homeworld.
- They camouflage very well in environments, this carried over to their technology.
- The unity has brought an unrivaled stability and great neural web.
- Erissi are methodical expanders, opting to set up defenses then inhabit worlds.
- Arid environments are extremely lethal to the Erissi without protection.
- The nimble nature of the Erissi may make them seem fragile to other races.
- Erissi are cautious by nature.
- The unity is a concept they want to spread to most outsiders.
Technological Level
The empire devotes a high degree of its resources to advancement both on a domestic and militaristic level. Over time this has become a one of the core elements of the movement known as the 'unity' in the Agilean empire.
The Planetary Defense Network
The planetary defense network (PDN) is a series of technologies designed to protect a planet in the event of a catastrophic disaster or alien invasion. Developed after the first contact massacre at Inos, its primary purpose is to project a planet wide shield around the world while not inhibiting light from reaching the world it is protecting. Multiple projection sites are scattered around the world allowing the shield to be weakened manually in spots to allow transit while keeping the barrier up.
The Arc Gate
The arc gate was developed to the rising costs of FTL technology after colonizing the Ezesa star system. FTL drives bogged down trading fleets and making transport of good lett efficient. In response the Esir developed the arc gate. Two orbital platforms are set up to punch a hole in subspace that can be activated at will or left on for easy transit without FTL drives. This reduced the number of ships needed for good transport and improved ship flow to worlds .
The Arc Projector
To further increase travel efficiency The Eris developed a mobile arc gate known as the "Arc Projector" this ship is one of the few non military vessels equipped with an FTL drive its primary purpose is to get to its location and deploy. She ship must remain stationary while it powers up the ring. Once powered up it will tear a hole in subspace that will appear on the other synced projector on the other end of the field allowing for safe transit.
Erissi Robotics
Robotics are a common tool of the Eris sending them to more hostile environments for salvage and mining but also with some military applications as well.
Cybernetic Tech
The Erissi have developed advanced cybernetic technology that allow neural links to others of their species as well as interactions with their own technology that do not require physical input.
The Neural Interface Network
The Neural computer network, a common source of employment for people within the empire outside of the military, infrastructure, and political spheres is a large network hosted by billions in 8 hour shifts. Erissi that connect to the multiple hubs scattered through empire space agree to share memories and host some of the huge amount of data the Agileans have accrued. This in turn allows the system to be used by most anyone in the empire though some data is kept very secret and on its own neural networks. It is often called the memory network as the information is 'experienced' rather than read.

Religion
Many Erissi practice a form of spirituality and worship the goddess known as Katira or 'The creator Katira' thought to be the progenitor to the Erissi. The role of the sciences even plays a part in the religion as it is believed that the goddess created the Erissi so that they may think and act for themselves and to use their own ingenuity.

Foreign Relations
Foreign relations with the Agileans can range from rough to cordial. Often the empire will seek collaboration with species that are less advanced than themselves, opting to help elevate them and gain their trust thus integrating them into the empire while allowing some form self governance. This will often be overseen by the Heralds of the Unity.
Those of equal advancement or higher advancement might gain the interest of the empire if only to close the gap for their own safety. They may still ultimately try to propose a spot within the unity to them.
Hostility to the empire is met with the same on their own part and those known to have attacked empire holdings will dray heavy ire from the unity.
Agriculture & Industry
Agriculture is a highly automated industry with some oversight from the Erissi themselves, often farms will be enclosed in machinery that will tend to the crops. Within cities some food is grown in large skyscrapers known as 'Crop Towers' and overseen by workers both AI and Erissi.
Industry likewise has become highly automated by some form of AI with oversight by Erissi.

Education
Education within the empire is a high priority, often citizens will have considerable resources to pursue a career path. Given the neural links of most citizens programs exist that will analyze the mind for the most efficient and desirable career.
