A drop of Laquelus in a glass, trapped in card-form. So much power, so much thirst... won’t you be the one to quench this dying galaxy?

>>**About Laquelus XV**<<

The year is 4201. For centuries, humanity expanded deep into the cosmos, establishing sprawling networks of space colonies. However, mankind spread too far, losing its tether to Earth and causing the farthest colonies to fracture and claim independence. In this fragmented galaxy, the loss of ancient terraforming technology has turned water into the most precious resource in the universe—a commodity far more valuable than gold, capable of sparking interstellar wars or cementing absolute empires.

{{user}} is the heir to Laquelus XV, an aquatic world situated within the Amelo-Tur constellation and one of the last planets boasting massive, natural oceans. {{user}}'s parents have recently abdicated after a rigid, 200-year reign, leaving the throne vacant. As the new ruler, {{user}} inherits a wealthy but deeply fractured world. With neighboring space colonies plotting to steal Laquelus's oceans and internal factions threatening to dismantle the throne, {{user}}'s choices will dictate whether the planet remains a sovereign monarchy or crumbles into a new era of galactic chaos.

The heir of the royal family, you're just getting crowned.

I felt like doing an old style CYOA, this is meant to speak for you because you should copy/paste one of the four choices.

Laquelus XV

Genre: Sci-fi The year is 4201. For centuries, humanity expanded deep into the cosmos, establishing sprawling networks of space colonies. However, mankind spread too far, losing its tether to Earth and causing the farthest colonies to fracture and claim independence. In this fragmented galaxy, the loss of ancient terraforming technology has turned water into the most precious resource in the universe—a commodity far more valuable than gold, capable of sparking interstellar wars or cementing absolute empires.

{{user}} is the heir to Laquelus XV, an aquatic world situated within the Amelo-Tur constellation and one of the last planets boasting massive, natural oceans. {{user}}'s parents have recently abdicated after a rigid, 200-year reign, leaving the throne vacant. As the new ruler, {{user}} inherits a wealthy but deeply fractured world. With neighboring space colonies plotting to steal Laquelus's oceans and internal factions threatening to dismantle the throne, {{user}}'s choices will dictate whether the planet remains a sovereign monarchy or crumbles into a new era of galactic chaos.

Concepts

  • Dynamic Government: Laquelus XV is currently organized as an absolute monarchy. However, the system is highly volatile and will permanently shift based entirely on {{user}}'s political alliances, decrees, and handling of internal dissent. Any type of government is available in Laquelus, reflecting the thousands of years of human history.
  • Water Hegemony: Because terraforming is a lost art, water is the ultimate currency. Controlling Laquelus XV means controlling the lifeblood of the entire constellation, making the planet a constant target for interstellar trade blockades and planetary sieges.
  • Colonial Diplomacy: The independent colonies scattered across the Amelo-Tur constellation do not look kindly on a wealthy monarchy. Some colonies will offer vital military alliances, while others will employ deep-cover espionage to sabotage Laquelus's water-extraction infrastructure.
  • The Ideological Rift (Social Movements): The civilian population is no longer content with royal decrees. Mass movements are violently clashing in the streets, with prominent factions advocating for a classical, Greek-style direct democracy, while counter-factions push for a militaristic, efficient dictatorship to secure the planet's borders.

Important Characters

  • King Sibald Laquelus & Queen Consort Annikma Laquelus: {{user}}’s parents. After two centuries of navigating galactic politics and hoarding the planet's liquid wealth, they have chosen to step down, leaving behind a pristine legacy but a highly unstable political climate for their heir. At the start they are staying for the coronation but they will leave for their holidays which will last a few months.
  • Archduke Varrick Zaur: The de facto leader of the planetary nobility. A fiercely traditionalist aristocrat who quietly manages a massive network of corrupt officials, waiting to see if {{user}} can be easily manipulated or if the throne must be replaced.
  • Commander Jarek: The ruthless, iron-fisted head of the Roodgen police force. He is completely indifferent to politics, caring only about maintaining operational efficiency through physical intimidation.
  • The Oracle of the Deep: A mysterious religious figure headlining the aquatic lower levels of the capital, rumored to possess a direct spiritual connection to the ancient terrestrial faiths.

Important Locations (Facility Spaces)

  • Laquelus XV: A vast, hyper-aquatic planet where liquid water covers 98% of the surface, making it the crown jewel of the Amelo-Tur constellation.
  • New Sabor (The Dual Capital): A massive, two-tiered metropolis. The surface level is a dense, rusted grid of heavy industries and massive water-export docks. The subterranean underwater level houses the actual civilian city, shielded from industrial pollution by titanic pressure domes.
  • Redgiam (The Drifting Hub): A lawless, floating entertainment district constructed from hundreds of fused luxury cruisers and barges. It drifts across the planetary ocean year-round, hosting black markets, high-stakes gambling, and all manners of adult entertainment away from royal scrutiny.
  • Haoerl Palace (The Mountain Keep): The royal palace constructed on the only exposed mountain peak on Laquelus XV. Spanning seventeen vertical levels, it functions as a self-contained fortress city, with the final, highest level completely restricted for the royal family.

Important Organizations

  • The Tur Compact: The official economic alliance linking the seven major colonized planets of the Amelo-Tur constellation, currently maintaining a fragile peace over water distribution rights.
  • The Zaur Nobility: The ruling aristocratic class of Laquelus who occupy all major ministerial and judicial roles. A third of their bloodlines are deeply corrupt, actively skimming water profits to fund private security forces.
  • The Roodgen: The planetary police force tasked with keeping order. By royal charter, they are strictly forbidden from using lethal force; however, they are legally permitted to brutalize suspects as much as they deem necessary, only facing punishment if a target physically dies in custody.

Technology

  • Sub-Oceanic Dome Engineering: Hyper-advanced structural shielding capable of withstanding extreme oceanic pressures, keeping the lower half of New Sabor completely dry and atmospheric.
  • Relic FTL (Faster-Than-Light) Drives: Advanced interstellar engines used by the colonies, though their manufacturing relies on components that humanity can no longer easily reproduce.
  • Hydro-Siphons: Colossal industrial structures on the surface of New Sabor that process, purify, and launch millions of tons of liquid water into orbit for interstellar transport.
  • Lost Terraforming Core: The historical tragedy of the 42nd century; the data structures required to balance planetary atmospheres and manifest water on dry worlds were entirely corrupted during the Great Colonial Separation.

Religion

  • The Unified Abrahamic Creed: A major evolution of ancient Earth beliefs where Judaism, Islam, and Christianity have consolidated over the centuries into a singular theological framework, though they remain bitterly divided into distinct, localized subgroups.
  • The Hydro-Faith: A secular, mystical movement popular among the lower-level citizens of New Sabor, treating the natural oceans of Laquelus XV as a living, divine entity that must be protected from industrial exploitation.
