The Kingdom of Dodorian Federations

In the year 1598 the Portuguese sailors landed on the shores of Mauritius, finding there an unknown species of bird, the Dodo. These sailors described the Dodo as a dumb and extremely stupid bird. While that may have been true of most of the Dodo population, Darius Dodo, the leader of the Dodos was an extremely intelligent bird.

Knowing that their days on earth were numbered Darius decided that they would need to relocate, but where to?

Then out of space an Iconian sleeper pod crashed on the island creating a mighty uproar in the Dodo population. Darius, quickly figuring out what this sleeper pod could mean, decided to bury the dead Iconians, and gathered around as many of his kin as could fit in the sleeper pod. Then in the year 1632 they set off into the unknown galaxy.

Through the long and often hazardous journey the Dodos reflected upon the slaughter inflicted by the Portuguese sailors. Slowly their minds were twisted into evil. Through their long journey they passed through the Qwarton anomaly which bestowed high intelligence upon the Dodos

Then in the year 2165 they landed on what is now known as Dodorian IV, in the Dodorian Star System. They rapidly began to form an evil civilization called “The Kingdom of Dodorian Federations”. Considering that government and politics was not their strong point, the reference to both kingdom and federations must be forgiven. Indeed it was a collection of federations paying homage to a single king, though in time the federations integrated into a single kingdom.

The kings of the Dododian Kingdom are direct descendants of Darius Dodo the Great who saved his population from extinction. The king of the Dodorians is called King Dodo.

Then as most races acquired HyperDrive from the reckless humans a Drengin scout ship equipped with hyperdrive crashed on Dodorian IV. The Dodos quickly figured out hyperdrive and managed to reproduce it.

And that is their story so far.

PS. in the year 1681 the last Dodo was exterminated

I think he meant 'There are no words... [to describe my feelings/ thoughts about this post].

Basically he is speechless.

Count on me to tell the obvious

Well, I figure that Darius must have been extremely clever to figure out how the sleeper pod worked, and to repair it.

I loved this post The poor Dodos, now they will have their chance for REVENGE! muahahahahahahahahaha! :ehm: Excuse me, I need to recollect myself.

But but... I thought it was the humans who allowed FTL than travel and that didn't happen until the 24th century. How could then the Iconians be travelling to Earth on the 15th Century? I doubt there were any open wormholes

what I gathered from the IGN site, when the Yor took over iconia the last iconians escaped in sleeper pods untill they found a new homeplanet, obviously they used cryogenic freezing or something similar, and spend millions of years in space... one of them seems to have crashed on earth in 1632

I KNEW IT!

But of course, the noble and wise Kingdom of Dodorian Federations merely wish to meet their human oppresors and get to know them.

If you give me the the values you want them to have, I'll try and mod them in. I can make them a custom no problem, but will the game recognise them if I create them as an added minor?

If it fails, I'll cut out one of the minors I dislike, change the pic, logo and name, and put them in.

(Apologies for the annoying blink)

Bloody brilliant.

Deliciously deranged dodos doing dastardly doings. Danger! Danger!

I await the first encounter between the mighty dodos and my far inferior Terran Starfleet with trepidation... truly, that day shall see great justice done unto the heartless humans.

I'll see you in the stars, Son of Darius.

really cool man

I wonder if we could make a modded custom race from my idea for one. I may or may not use it in a Metaverse game, but I think its pretty cool. give me a min to grab the link.

heres the link https://forums.galciv2.com/?ForumID=346&AID=117563&cmd=myposts#903821 El Conquest, you've seen the thread before. Marcathonas has also seen it, in a different thread though.

We want more Dodos! And iconian ship design ripoffs!

Actually I'm still trying to get that concept art done
