Evolution and Home Planet.
The Keiroisans actually evolved from small, furry creatures called searlugs. They were dwarf like, vaguley huminoid creatures that had extreme intellegence. Some ask why they didnt evolve faster. The creatures had been on their planet, Merios since the beginning of their world, and had adapted to it's every change. They resided in small burrows in rocky plains and hunted with their long claws and sharp teeth. The height, vaguely the size of a 4 year old, was not a dissability. This enabled them to hide behind what other tall creatures could not. The species had no defined sex, therefore was all the same gender, and reproduced on their own, about at the age of 25 months, and would lay 1-3 eggs.
They evolved about 54 milllion years later into Keirosians. The evolution was slow, and defined them male or female sex, increased the height dramatically so that the male at his max averge height was jsut smaller than a full grown man and the female was as high as the shoulders of their male counterparts and also gave them greater intellegence. The keirosians, however, lost their teeth and claws, and were primitive and didnt know how to hunt. So therefore they lived on plants and small animals. THe keiroisans also lost their fur and replaced it with coloured skin according to their gender. All keirosians were skinny, having small appetites. The race was not strong, and the first few decades of survival was difficult for the Keirosian Race. Most other aspects were huminoid, including their body design, birth other and *cough* aspects.

Intelligence.
After the first 30 years after evolution the world started to look more promising to the Keirosians. various primitive weapons were invented created from the lightweight and strong rock Keir'dor, which was abundant. The primitive weapons included slings and rocks, knives, axes, spears and other lightweight weapons. Other primitive items were created, such as blankets, primitive homes and animal skin flasks. All of this was to help the young race combat the dangers of the wild animals and the ever increasing cold of what is now know as the the Frostbite Era.

Fostbite Era.
The sun, experiencing a failure, was giving of a dramatically less amount of heat to Merios. this was causing the extreme cold. By the time this era had hit the Keriosians, the race had progressed much. They now had better-furnished weapons, agriculture, a currency and a liking of fine materials. The keriosians, to combat the cold, created vast primitive greenhouses where they would plant their crops. This era, however, was seen down apon, because the inability of going outside ended in inbreeding. This however, had no effect on the empire today.

Golden Era
After the sun had gained it's 'kick' again, it was safe to go outside. The following Era, the 'Golden' Era, was full of Prosperity, advancement and happiness.
The five main continents that made up the most of the Keirosian land created their own countries, and trading, diplomacy and wars continued. The Golden Era lasted exactly 4364 years, and was the time inbetween primitives and space age.

Merios
Merios was the Keirosian's first planet, and had five main continents. It had many small islands of course, but the cyan coloured water covered most of the planets surface. The landmasses; Haluin, The'ros, Moss'en, Kia'mau and Wea'aud were named after various primitive gods, and their shape and lanscape was mountainous, containing many rocky plains and hills. Their was also few forests, jungles and deserts, and the Kaulin river, the largest one on the planet, was a mile wide and spanned the entire Haluin Continent.
The fertile ground was scarce, but provied nutrient soil. The crops many farmers harvested was maily a wheat-like substance named Guer. The Keirosion weather was mostly sunny, save for a few rainy or snowy days. The Keirosian climate had all the same aspects as the Earth one, but had was genrally the same around the world.
Merios had no moon, and therefore, no tides, no months, and no pull. for some unknown reason, however, it kept the same aspects as earth.

History of space origin.
The Keirosians actually originated in a small, isolated star system named Antaeus five. This star system was found in dead space, not to far of the seventh spiral of the omega galaxy. Their star system held 13 solar systems, each one holding approximately 5 planets in each one. The Keiroisans, having taken over all the inhabitable planets in the star system progressed on research, and made a breakthough: 'Rift jumps', a technology which enabled them to open a mini black whole anywhere and bend time and space to reach a destination. With this technology the first pioneers were able to reach the seventh spiral, and construct the space-jump gate that would connect the galxay and the Keirosians forever.

Appearance, religion and belief.
The Keirosian believed in the great god of knowledge Mie'er. These beliefs, however, were dismissed and proved faulty in th year 11465, and from then on science took a way of life.
Keisoians vary from one to another. They are vaguely huminoid, with females having red-green skin and males having blue skin. They are all skinny, caused by their small stomachs and appetites. They can get sick like any human, but have advanced medicines to cancel out the symptoms.
In the year 45367, Bio-suits were intorduced across the empire. These suits enabled the Keirosians better protection against the elements, but also lengthened their lifespan, physical condition and space surival.

Technology and Government.
The Keirosian government is a custom kind called Meteiors. It enables the public to vote for a governing council for their empire. This council, however, made up the rules and regulations, and a kie'trate (Emperor) would judge it.
The Emperor was the supreme ruler of the Keirosian empire, and his death was usally prolonged thousands of years if he was a good ruler.
Technology was highly advanced. The Keirosain armada was very powerful, nearly each one of it's ships brimming with weapons. Currently the most powerful weapon is the RiftSpace Bomb, a powerful teleporting device that can suck anything it's near into an oblvion

Empire.
The Keirosian 'empire' was a relatively small one. It covers there whole star system and parts of the seventh spiral of the omega galaxy. Keirosians took most planets first by purifying the air and adding vegetation, and then terraforming the climate and landscape. enough until it was completely liveable by Keirosians, but if a planet was seen as hard to terraform it would have all of it's recourses extracted by orbit instantly useing the dreaded accumalator and then destroyed with quantam missiles. No use letting something go to waste, huh?


Spacecraft
The Keirosians have many, many different kinds of spaceships. they are mostly all trading and civilian ships, and all of them corporate the design of En'Miak (the architect's way) leading to sturdy infrastructure and Quantam Technology. The keirosians colours on ships are standard, each one ceremonial in their own way.
Purple: Symbol of strength. Most ships have purple all over their hulls, to show their power as patriots.
Blue: Symbol of Devotion, Blue isnt as common as purple, but is still seen pretty regualry.
Pink: Symbol of Power, this colour is used by all ships alike, expressing the feeling of confidence inb their ship.
Yellow: Symbol of Unity. Only ever seen on the Mainframe core, having the colour on any other part of the ship is forbidden.
Green: Symbol of Courage, very few ships have this colour, and you can only get the colour if you have performed a couragous feat and been awarded the colour. The colour green is the rarest colour in the Keiroisan empire, appearing once in 100 ships.
Orange: Symbol of patience, any ships that have this colour represent that the captain has an extreme level of patience and is cool-headed.

The Keirosian race actually originated from another Universe called the Omega Dimension.

Universes.

Alpha
Universe Alpha was the Keirosians first universe. They young and intellegent race entered the space age at a late time, seeign the universe in chaos. The small civilisation made a planet on surrounding solar systems and when the dreaded time of destruction came they used their dimensionn rift to escape their doomed universe

Theta
The Theta dimension was much more welcoming to the Keirosians. Desolate of all intelligent life bersides the Keirosians themselves, and full of recourses, the Keirosians spanned far and wide. Many advancments happened in that universe, and when it was time to leave, loss was felt by all.
Is it Dimension or Universe? And... they started in both the Alpha and the Omega!! AHHHHHhhhh Image

Dimension/universe. I was reading up about mulitverses and universes and stuff like that on wikipedia.

All you need to know is this. They came from another universe.

Protip: Aegis does not do what you think it does. Ditch it. Lots of people will tell you to do it.

If you want tougher ships, increase their health. That simple. Don't force people to attack arbitrary weak points.

So you're telling me that all the sentient races in these various dimensions/universes (stick to one or the other for the love of all that's unholy) just rolled over and are all tree-hugging hippies, despite there being relatively little military threat from these guys?

Bullshit. I don't buy it.

Well, okay. They have SOME military, and i admit, they have had some wars in the past, wether it be by their own kind or some other sentient race. But those wars were bloodthirsty, and frankly, soon forgotten. Bersides, those sentient races that attacked their system were usually battlefleets heading to do war with another empire, and came across the small and confined 'empire' the keirosians had.
I can safely say that with all their differences aside, The Keirosians have reached the age of enlightenment.
Plus you forget about the pirate threat. Even though most Keirosians are satisfied with their life as a citizen, some people desire more. So their pirates. Even though the Keirosian Military is small, it packs a punch. those shields you saw were not aiming people to attack weakpoints, but rather giving extra defense. Sure, their's weak points, but i don't care. I don't like the hield colour, so ill just change it.

Sorry, but I don't see a way of maintaining stable rule over hundreds of thousands of galaxies when society is sitting comfortably sitting on it's ass happy with being enlightened and the military seems more concerned with avoiding getting scratches on their ships instead of worrying about finding some way to overpower the countless mega-advanced civilisations that would already exist. There's always a bigger fish, the multiverse can't just be ripe for the taking by any old race I'm afraid. :?

I'd say downsize your background massively. Drop the multiple dimensions/universes and stick to some corner of a galaxy, a few hundred systems or something. It'd be much more plausible and easier for you to justify.

Just had a quick scan, and already it seems much better, though I still see some stuff about a Theta Universe in the Appearance, religion and belief section. Otherwise, this seems much more sensible.
