The Rothnian Republic
The Rothnian Republic is a successor to the once mighty Rothnian Empire. The Rothnian Empire was a wealthy, powerful nation with massive political influence and an abundance of natural resources. By all accounts it was a modern nation with a high standard of living and enough wealth and resources to buy or conquer half the Gulf.

Unfortunately, it was also an oppressive regime. Ruled by a brutal emperor, the lives of its citizens were as limited as they were comfortable. For every new public park, luxury apartment, or brand new piece of technology there was a journalist locked up, a dissident killed, a freedom curbed. Slowly but steadily, discontent grew, pressure on the royal family to change things increased, but received nothing but pushback. When the whole thing boiled over, the Rothnian Empire tore itself apart in a civil war.

Cities died and planets burned. Countless lives and an untold amount of destruction later, it was finally over. From the ashes of the empire, a republic emerged. Far behind the rest of the galaxy, a shadow of its former glory, it nonetheless had one thing: The ability to change and hope for the future.

And change it did.

Many more years passed, but slowly, it rebuilt. Though it had lost the means to extract or refine its natural resources, they were still there to be used. Though its infrastructure was demolished, there were people willing to rebuild. Many lives were extinguished so a new generation could look forward to a brighter tomorrow.

Now, it's marching forward like never before, well on its way to reclaim the status it once had. In a few short years, it has managed to claw its way back into relevance, create a terrible foreign policy, ally itself with the Coalition of Terra, and unlearn what it has learned. In a few more, it promises to become a shining beacon of freedom, prosperity, and meddling. Rothnia lives.

Location: The faction is located somewhere in the Boötes sector, between the CIT and the Terran Coalition.

It's not exactly secret considering we talked about it in the discussion topic.

But yeah. I'll change the description a bit and mess with the colours a bit, and then I'll post it.

They don't have any thrusters?
Your ships would need a frontline tanker considering some of them are hard hitting but quite fragile.
Edit: Actually i take it back, your ships are good as they are depending on their fleet composition.

They have a propulsion system which doesn't release long flames and stuff.
If you look at them again, you'll se they have pipe like things on the back.

Screwdriver has none but I'll modify it soon enough.

You could add engine glows to them to make them look more appealing in that regard.

Maybe you will use the gradient custom exhaust sprite. It seems to fit the style.

Oh, hey, I've released some new (and some older-but-unreleased) ships.
