Origin Of Their Name: "Tiefutu" is ancient, pre-Empire Irk meaning "Iron Cavalry." Although, due to the industrialized state of the planet, the name now translates to "Iron Pagoda". Tiefutu itself is also rich with Iron Ore.
History:
Tiefutu was a planet, originally discovered by the Irken Empire in section of territory that was won after the Vortian take-over. It would become mining planet, which was rich with many minerals. The tallest of Irk's miners were assigned to be stationed on the planet, as it was considered a high honour at the time. Certain sources suggest that the taller miners were simply rebellious and that their stationing on a somewhat distant mining program was to ensure a revolution would not take place. However, at the time, Irk did not acknowledge how rich the planet really was. The Empire lost contact with this world since it was on the very outskirts of Empire controlled space. There were little places of interest anywhere around it. Because of this location, no other species have investigated the planet, let alone explored or mined it.
Without the Empire's influence, the Tiefutu miners began to deviate from the traditionalist view of Irk. In the pursuit of making something of their own, they were influenced by the isolation and hardships faced upon the world. They discovered the history of the industrialized and equally militant form of government the lead Irk before the Imperial Revolution. A new government was formed, a Fascist, National Socialist dictatorship known as the Insurrection.
/ˌinsəˈrekSHən/ A militant uprising force, often ideologically based, the goes against a certain government, authority or society
The Tiefutu would resent the Empire at first for being all but abandoned and forgotten, their loyalty quickly waned in favor of an independent nation. However, they still recognized the Empire's might, that it was not to be trifled with. Outnumbered and save for what technology made availible to them to perform their functions as miners, they did not posesses the military prowess necessary to defend themselves in the event the Empire decided to reestablish contact with them. They are Irken operating as an independent state and in opposition of Empire control, which is by law, the definition of treason. The Tiefutu people were much taller than the common cloned Irken that inhabited the Empire. This was done through a product of natural breeding and evolution to the hostile atmosphere the planet was known for. Generally, the average individual on the planet is tall, muscular and athletic regardless of their profession.
Much time and effort was spent into building the nation, which became something stronger and superior by their definition. It proved that they could survive and withstand without the assistance of anyone, even the homeworld. Some years later, the Empire finally sent liasons to the planet and noticed the changes. Among them were the superior military might, natural-born citizens and heavily industrialized culture. It was expected that they would not be so easily taken by the homeworld once again and placed under rule.
The Tiefutu are not quite strong enough to openly combat the Empire and turn the tide against them out of revenge for their abandonment. Nor would they be able to lay claim to what they feel was deserved by right after all they had done without any help. Without technology and basic cooperation from the Empire, the mining colony became increasingly hostile toward those who have exploited them. However, the Empire recognized their usefulness. The Empire did operate on broken alliances and treaties, the most famous incident of this was the enslavement of the Vortian people after Irk obtained the technology they were after.
The Empire questioned whether or not to proceed with an attempt to fight Irken blood with Irken blood. Considering how the main conflict would be among clone and natural bred Irkens, they were still of the same genetics. While considered a blight and offense, it was acknowledged that Tiefutu were strong, fearless, and most intimidating, even by Irken standards. Rather than go to war, the Empire convinced them into an alliance and sent them to fight their enemies. This new breed of Irken soldier would instill fear into Irk's enemy at the very first sight of the soldiers. Combined with the Empire's offers aid through assistance with building infrastructure and boosting their economy the Tiefutu seemed to be happy to fight for their once forgotten homeland. They were offered the aid that the Empire had originally denied them.
Imperial Irk turned them into a world of mercenaries without the people realizing it. Even amongst such a population, there would always be a noticeable population of loyalist. However, the Empire had alterior motives. In actuality, despite their assistance, they essentially sent the Tiefutu's best legions, a large majority of its forces, off-world to assist in Impending Doom II. Thus leaving it ripe for an attempt to overtake and return to Empire control.
It was as if the Empire came with a peace offering in one hand to form an alliance while the other held the dagger to stab them in the back. Fortunately, the Empire did not anticipate how strong the opposition was compared to their own forces. While outnumbered, the Tiefutu residents were more than capable combatants. Word would travel fast to the legions dispatched elsewhere in the universe to assist the Empire that they turned on them. Soon, the Tiefutu Legionnaires would return to their homeplanet to push out the invading Irken forces.
The Great Tiefutu Insurrection Chancellor, Rainer, would announce the official war against Tiefutu forces and the Irken Empire. To this day, the current Chancellor Ryker promised his people that the destruction of the inferior Irken species will be soon. The surface of Tiefutu remained occupied until his rule. Tiefutu is currently unoccupied, but still a hot spot to Imperial Irken insurgency against the Insurrection.
Appearance:
The Tiefutu people are tall due to their genes and evolution on the planet. Because of the hazardous conditions of their home and the nuclear winter from several fallouts, they must wear the intimidating Tiefutu black gas masks. Most civilians wear respirators and goggles to protect themselves from the surroundings. Of all the people on the planet, there are strong distinguishable traits for every type of civilian and soldier. Due to living conditions, most clothes are thick and often Grey or Black. Some suggest that some garbs were originally white before being brought into the mines.
The antennae are removed at birth and replaced with a very thin strip of metal that resembled the base of organic antennae. They are covered in small sound wave recorders and many wires. Sound is captured, recorded and shot back into the brain to induce an electro-chemical reaction that is the same as hearing something organically. This was created due to organic antennaes suffering from frost bite caused by harsh environmental conditions. These antennae also are able to pick up transmittions that only Tiefutu soldiers can hear. Thus, making radio communication easier but harder to be received by enemies. These antennae often stick out from under helmets or simply poke out from the Driguba hood.
Most of the Tiefutu people wear double-filter gasmasks or respirators. Every civilian and soldier have the Insurrection armband on their left arm. The infamous emblem is a black badge with grey borders. A white shovel and pick intercepting at the middle represent the miner's union. The main background is dark maroon red, which symbolizes the warrior blood of the people.
Civilians:
The only civilians on Tiefutu are mothers and children. Even then, after a Smeet is grown up they are immediately thrown into an academy for their choice of career or whatever is at the highest command. Mothers are enlisted into their previous profession after the children are considered of legal age to be taught the ways of the industrial or militant trade.
Married women often wear a large helmet which have a large visor above the respirator that ends above their eyes. The visor is typically a tinted yellow, orange, grey or black. The rest of the helmet is either left visible or covered by a Driguba. (A Tiefutu piece of clothing which is similar to a long cloak. A hood goes over the head and the rest is draped down onto the body. Many females wrap the length of the cloak around them in fashionable ways, usually ending in a tie in the back. Few women have their Driguba perfectly straight.) Unmarried women wear the Nokatya-15t2 Gas Mask, the most common civilian model which is made into a black anti-shrapnel/hardhat helmet. All Tiefutu wear a variant of large combat and mining boots that have many extra pockets and pouches.
The overall attire under the Driguba for women are usually sweaters with BDU pants. For all displays of public nudity, brief, partial or intentionally erotic, is a criminal offense against the "Richer Modesty Law". Therefor, all clothes must not be revealing in any manner. Because of this law, pornography is strictly prohibited on the planet.
Tiefutu women are either moderately athletic and muscular, or very skinny depending on their profession. While most are required to remain fit at all times, even after childbirth, those who do not work in major industry or the military tend to be very slender.
The formal greeting for an unmarried woman is 'Ji-eh', which is simplified Irkenese for 'lacking of partner'.
The informal greeting for an unmarried woman who is closely acquainted or of relation is 'Ji-Zeh'. Meaning 'lacking romantic company'
The formal greeting for a married woman is 'Shi-Du', which means 'modest'.
The informal greeting for a married woman regardless of knowing her is the same.
For a husband to greet his life, it is common to say 'Ji-Ao-Nen' which can be translated as 'lacking loneliness'.
Smeets on up to early adulthood wear Drigubas that go almost down to their knees. Underneath are sweaters and pants similar to BDU requirements. Due to being strong targets of Imperial Irken insurgency, all Smeets up to early adults are required to wear the Nokatyanet-23g5 flak jacket under their Driguba. Their gasmasks and respirators have been replaced with Nokatyagert-4-th211 model gasmasks that have a third filter and plasma resistant helmet.
The common greeting for a Smeet on Tiefutu is 'Neh-Mo', which can mean 'little mask'. The disrespectful slang for them, 'Neh-Monst' means 'little creature'
The formal addressing of Smeets is 'Neht-Peng', which means 'small friend'
A Smeet female is 'Reng-u'
A Smeet male is simply 'Reng'
The word 'Reng-' is often added at the beginning or ending of many factions within both industry and military. It literally meaning 'Man'. It is the formal and informal greeting for all males regardless of relation.
Primary Industrialists:
The mining industry on Tiefutu is the main striving point of the people and its very existence. They have gone miles deep into the planet, but also have destroyed their atmosphere and environment due to such. They do not produce the minerals they retrieve at all, but rather send it off to the many factories to obtain profit.
The miners have the best boots, filters, gasmasks, Drigubas and respirators. They have baggier, but thicker pants that allow for more flexibility and movement, while protecting the legs. Military-issue kneepads are also included to allow for sitting on one's knees or crawling for long periods of time. Miners often have sweaters with large collars to wrap around the bottom of their mask filters and to ensure maximum heat for the intensely cold mine shafts. Their Drigubas also come down to just above the lens or visors. Due to dark conditions in the mine, 'eyes' of miners are usually in nightvision mode. Emitting an eerie green, orange or yellow illumination depending on the model of the device installed into the helmet or mask. Many miners are also welders, therefor some helmets have a secondary visor with light-adjusting black tint that can come down over the primary visor or lens.
The formal term for miners are 'Jumin-Reng' which translates to 'Dwelling Men'
The informal slang, often used as a slur, is 'Kia-Leh' which means 'wall breaker'. Another term which depends on region is simply 'Zieng', simplified Irkenese for 'loud'.
An official term for the cart pushers is 'Push Men' or 'Tui-Reng'. Informal slang is often just 'Tui'
Exclusive welders are dubbed 'Han-Ji', but are called 'Huowen'. The verb means 'firecrack'.
The name for the welding visor is called 'Heiye'
Secondary Industrialists:
This wing of the major industries are almost exclusively women. They produce furniture, clothing, package food and most importantly refine metals and minerals. Their appearance is similar to most civilian females, although their Drigubas are much more resistant to heat and sparks. The above-mentioned welding visor are also installed into the factory worker's helmets.
Official term for them are 'Yo-Yanji', referring to their Drigubas. It means 'hoods'.
It is greatly disrespectful to call the worker anything else beside such or their official name. However, co-workers jokingly refer to each other as 'Mayi'. The original Irken word for ant.
Tertiary:
These industrialists are teachers and service providers. They usually have experience in the Quaternary field of the industry. Their appearance varies greatly on their background, profession and what they are teaching. In most cases, teachers are typical miners that bare the "Medal of Industrial Service" award. The other side of this industry is consistent of paramilitary police, management and service providers. The paramilitary police wear dark navy blue with details of red, compared to the traditional grey and black colours associated with attire.
Teachers are known as 'Zhinehg' or simply by their names.
Paramilitary police are called 'Duo-Jiao' or in simple Irken, 'Stompers'. Another term is 'Lanse-Reng' which is 'Blue-Men'. Some high ranking officers are called executioners, 'Guizi-Shoreng'
Quaternary:
The back bone of the Teifutu empire. Little is known or documented about this least popular, but probably the most respected part of the major industry. Scientists and chemists, the Quaternary consists of those who have crafted the weapons of the future. The most famous Scientist is rumored to be Rucher II, responsible for creating the Tiefutu service rifle. Another possibly fable, but famous scientist is the chemist Rickentuf, who created the Suicide Jet. A vehicle which, after evacuating the pilot, drops its fuel tank like a napalm bomb. The fuel is actually the deadly white phosphorus allotrope that is also used in mortars and grenades. However, it leaves behind a distinctive trail of fire while the Jet is in flight. After the fuel tank is dropped, the rest of the jet separates and acts like a cluster bomb on the designated zone. As of recently, however, question is coming into the usefulness of the Suicide Jet due to it exploding upon being shot at mid flight or that its overall inaccuracy has resulted in accidental friendly fire.
Named 'Yanyin-Jireng', the media and various propaganda films refer to the workers of this branch the 'Gugan' or 'The Back Bone'.
Soldiers:
Technically, due to every individual receiving military training, the Tiefutu people have an official military force. Everyone can and will be able to protect their home, whether they be a miner or factory worker. But, the true pride of the Insurrection is the military force that proved to be strong enough to push out the dreaded Irken Empire out of the planet several times by sure brutality and tactics. Fueled by Fascist ideology and propaganda, the Tiefutu are fearless foes who pull the trigger easily due to the belief the enemy is a dog.
Most soldiers have their Drigubas wrapped around their waist in a skirt/kilt like fashion. Many soldiers use the hood as a secondary pouch for ammo or grenades. Every soldier wears Nokatekuto-5667-GH5 gasmasks with an anti-plasma Pg5-2 helmet. and backup GHTenuken respirator. While they have many filters for their gas masks and respirators, they require a large amount of oxygen due to their lack of PAKs and the fact that filters should be used sparingly. Built into their Nokatyanet-23g5 Flak Jackets are small tubes that go into the sides of the masks/respirators to replace the filter. They have a small oxygen tank built into their bodies under the stomach and above the intestines. While it makes them more like walking bombs, it allows for them to recycle the carbon dioxide several thousand times over before having to refill the canisters. During civilian or industrial membership, the canister is removed unless one is drafted back into the military or forced to fight in the fate of war.
Covered in knee and elbow pads, heavily Flak Vests and plasma resistant helmets, the Empire dubbed the Tiefutu walking tanks. The only division who does not have such advanced safety precautions are usually the First Recon shock troopers, the marksmen and snipers of the Tiefutu people. With a distinctive white Driguba meant to resemble the nuclear snow, the First Recon shock troopers are some of the tallest of their people and are also blessed with perfect eye sight. They have the lightest gear, but still have gasmasks (without a helmet) under their Driguba hoods, along with flexible knee and elbow pads. Their clothes are meant to be a lot warmer and a lot more flexible. Due to the heaviness of their weapons and their stealth operations, they are naturally hunched over despite being so tall. They are also the only part of the military to have a body suit under their gear, that protects them from radiation for short amounts of time.
'Ceng-Reng' 1-9 is the typical ranking system for all branches of the military and its soldiers. There are many callsigns to the official factions however.
'Tuji-Bing' is a stormtrooper. Slang name is 'Kui-Tou', a reference to a term first introduced in the first Tiefutu military manual meaning 'Helmet-Head'
'Jun-Tuan' is a legionnaire. Nicknamed 'La-Shen', which is the noun 'rusher', among themselves.
'Diyi-Zencha' is a first recon marksman. Simplified to 'Zen' in casual conversation, also their callsign.
These are the common names of the soldiers.
Personality:
Being extremely militant and nationalist, the Tiefutu people are rather xenophobic to non-Irkens and non-Tiefutu Irkens. Many are very proud and open. Despite laws against sexual freedom, erotica, freedom of press and lack of rights toward religion the people have been rather tolerant. However, they tend to have a brutal law system and have had their own share of civil wars, through which they mastered warfare.
Government And Ideology:
The Fascist National-Socialist dictatorship believes violence is the economy, therefor one must make their decisions precise and strategic. One prominent concept is from each according to his ability, to each according to his work and labour.
The main defensive against the opposition, which was often deployed against Irken Imperial invaders, was code named after a Tiefutu general. Vik'Ramaditya. The Vik-Defensive, as the Irkens call it, is a tactic of high mobility and destruction. It is used to multiply the success rate of even the smallest units. The Vik-Defense is a strategic combination of actions: Flanking, avoiding, surprising, overpowering and retreat or escape if needed. The main offense of the Vik-Defense is to also weaken the enemy's front line while attacking its exposed sides, all while attempting to make a strong psychological impact against the opponent.
Being rather tall and far more educated in their planets overall terrain, the Tiefutu use greater height, speed and inertial mass over an opponent on foot. Shock troopers are well-known to use guerrilla tactics in flanking, often targeting specific key components to enemy squadrons. (Engineers, medics, sharpshooters and ect.) Artillery, which is protected by trenches and bunkers filled with soldiers, attack the front line with full force. As a last resort, Tiefutu Marines suicide-charge enemy lines to attract their fire. Sharpshooters and air support then attempt to knock down the number of targets as the Shock-Troopers move in to push back the opposing force in a BlitzKrieg formation.
The Tiefutu do not care about causalities. Much of the planet being a nuclear winter, the use of WMD is expected if the tides of the war are shifted.
Habitat:
Most of the population lives in bunkers or the mines. Many of the civilians live inside the Metro systems used also for transportation for miners. The metros were originally the first mines when Tiefutu was first made an Irken mining colony to be later forgotten. Due to the mass amount of mining, unearthing of certain minerals, heavy industry based pollution, reactor fallouts and a nuclear winter caused by the First Industrial Revolution, the surface of the planet is a deadly place to venture into. Which is why most of the population is underground, where oxygen is still required due to the mining.
Language:
-Tiefutu (Primary Language)(Mandatory)
-Ancient Irken (Primary Language)(Mandatory)
-Modern Irken (Secondary Language)
-Traditional Irken
-Irkenese simplified
Reproduction:
Having separated from the traditionalistic view of the Irken Empire, the Tiefutu went into natural breeding to help them become taller and evolve to the conditions of their planet. Originally done for the sake of speeding up the pace of the mining involvement, it lead to them becoming a strong militant power. The recently appointed philosophy behind such a drastic change and act of treason against the supposed modern Irken ideal, is that the artificial is usually not the best.
Health:
Tiefutu individuals have rather strong immune systems, but still suffer and can easily die if exposed to the surface atmosphere or any toxic airborne particles. Soldiers who suffered from the oxygen canisters inside them rupturing often suffer from internal fatal wounds that field medics have a hard time repairing and maintaining. The most common war-related death on Tiefutu is the oxygen supply being cut or being exposed to the surface atmosphere during combat. The most common non-war related deaths are mining accidents and natural causes through stress in older age.

I'd say that there are two very strong elements to their culture
And that is an emphasis on family, friendship and love
As well as hatred, militantism and struggle
On the battlefield, they are asexual, they do not have kids, nor family, nor friends
Like a machine with a switch, they see only comrade and enemy
I guess you can say that the 'human' element in them is schizophrenic
They have a low value on life, since they've lost so many and life itself is a constant struggle
They had no problems with nuking themselves or anything like that
But on a civilian level, they can be passionate
In their misery and self-loathing, came music, celebration, holidays and the celebration of the middle class worker and soldier
On the field, they celebrate only death
Perhaps they simply have an emphasis on family in home life so they can appreciate it while they can
As they will die tomorrow, possibly
In the end, their entire culture is still geared toward war - in the same way as the Spartan society

A mix of both, their average infantry and grunts holding older weapons - probably the Empire's equivalent to the AK system
While special forces have weapons modeled specifically for puncturing Imperial armour and withstanding the harsh environment of their own planet
Civilian issue and personal defense weapons found in the metros and mines are makeshift, almost steam-punk like weaponry that can be compared to Metro 2033's "Bastard"
I'd say you get rid of "network" at the end there, as that is an implied logic and otherwise makes the sentence too drawn out and awkward

Wow, what a cool and detailed history! I'm amazed that you managed to think up that stuff, especially the language stuff I know is hard, since you have to REMEMBER what you wrote~ I can't tell what the link to your primary base is, though... You know, the link you gave to whatever helped you organize this stuff? It only links to your Favorites...

Yeah, thank you. This was probably one of the harder projects I have done when it comes to details.
As for the link, it used to be a template but it was deleted by its owner for some reason.

Ah, that's it. Yeah, I did that same thing for my "Di-Nein-Ge-Deng Ultimate Information and Invitation" thingy. I know that I'm terrible when it comes to all those military words, but I've hoped it's somewhat understandable. [link]

What is the punishment for a Renegade Tiefutu & What do they call a renegade in tiefutu language especially if its a woman?
The renegade Female Tiefutu is now a Logistics Co. in the 37th Mechanized Infantry Div.
Has great Tactical knowledge & Strategies for fighting against other Tiefutu as well Counter Strategies to fight against the Tiefutu.

So will the Tiefutu send an assassin or some 1 after the Niehnab to prevent her from telling the key locations of where to find the Tiefutu cities are & how reach them to the 37th Mechanized Infantry Div.?

They more than likely would.
Anyone who threatens to defect can be assassinated by a civilian, they will receive a great reward for killing a possible traitor.

How will they reach her when shes training 23rd Armored Div. Recruits at the Hardline No. 12 base let get alone close to kill her when shes in a Desert Combat Mech and has 2 Dark Fleet War Vets that have seen at least 1773 years of Combat?

The Tiefutu are signing a contract with the Basilica.
If you wish to read about Basilica's capabilities, ask *DKScharfrichter , as they are his. He will give you all of the reasonable details.
However, a couple of renegades would not be worthy of such efforts as the Tiefutu would prepare for whatever the defects leak over to the enemy.
While the exact details of what will be leaked is in question, the Tiefutu will surely be aware of the possibilities.

Theres only 1 Tiefutu renegade and wears semi-revealing clothing.
37th Armored Div. has deployed the Epsilon Fleet the 25th largest Fleet in the Dark Fleets Ship Div. A total of 17000 ships including 2 Nazikuu Class Battleships & 1 Nezukei Class Super Assault Carrier are enroute for the Tiefutu homeworld.

If the Tiefutu had cooperated with the Dark Fleet and joined them as allies this war would be meaningless, plus the Tiefutu would receive newer hardware & equipment if they joined the dark fleet.

Ooh, okay this is a cool concept. Many have before been working on 'sub-Irk' races, where speciments of the Irken race seems to have evolved into a different direction that the typical Irken, after being left to themselves somewhere else far away. Not many can make the concept work fully, but it's still an interesting concept. I like how it add different types of Irkens like we got different races of humans, after evolving different places.
I think you worked out a really neat concept here and rather original. Though pushed free from the Empire and using natural reproduction, they are not a bunch of hippies being all anti Empire. I like that. Instead we see a harsh rule, shaped by the enviroment and ideologic kinda build on the Empire's with hard for the better good of the whole race.
I also like their appearance and the changes they have gone through to survive in the harsh enviroment of the planet. And mining concepts definitely ain't used enough

Another comment! : D
Thank you, I have been wanting to do a sub-Irken sort of thing for quiet awhile. But as you said, I did not want them to be Anti-Empire hippies or flat out rebel force. They have their own well established army and they are seemingly superior Irkens in theory, but lack technology and numbers to actually combat the Empire. Unlike so many fan-made rebels who some how can take on the Empire head on, half the time.
I thought that one of the biggest things I wanted to do with the Tiefutu people was to give them a memorable, distinctive appearance, ideology and an industrialized community. I thought what would make a strong people, who evolved to such a point and harsh environment mixed with hard manual labour came to mind as the key to their evolution.

You're welcome.
Seriously though, I'm honored you used a bit of my assistance as part of their history/backstory. I was just rambling on about what I thought sounded good for them. You might want to remove "Irkghast" and "Legionnaires" and replace it with "Shock Troopers" though, Mr. Copy Pasta.
I think that technology could use a little more explanation, there's quite a bit there, but it doesn't really allude to the level of technological prowess that they are at. Having only their mining equipment and bare necessities, isolated from the Empire for so long, they had to advance somehow with what they were given, so like I suggested, mass-driven technology would be the best step. Not quite energy/plasma-based, but a step below it with mass-acceleration, especially when it comes to weapons and armament. Considering they have a planet full of heavy/dense ores, they've got the means to make the ammunition.
A little additional note to reproduction, especially if they are vying for perfection through natural means, it would be selective, as in whatever traits are desired in both parents to be found in the next generation, they are required by the state and law once given the order to do so. As for how many children they are to have or required to, and what happens if they cannot produce a genetically superior child, I'm not sure, but their entire people and nation is based upon selective breeding to promote perfection for survival. To weed out the weak without having to commit genocide by not allowing them to reproduce and their lineage ends to no longer taint the gene pool. Having children and a family is a privilege and an honor, not a right. I imagine it would be somewhat of a social status symbol that they were selected to replenish numbers and create tomorrow's next defender of their people.
Their habitat could use a little fleshing out. I get that they're underground in the tunnels and transportation systems, but surely they've built homes into the rockface or something similar. Given their hardships and essentially creating everything that use or own being isolated from the Empire, they live minimalistic in what space is available. Bare necessities to promote efficiency and reduce distraction. If it is not needed to perform their duties designated by the state or to survive, then it is not needed.
I just woke up, so this might be a little m3h, hopefully it's some helpful information that you can use. If not, I tried.

Heh, I honestly did not catch those while combing over it. It just sounds so natural for the Tiefutu, that I must have skipped over them.
I was definitely going to add a lot into the technology section, but I wanted to see if people were interested in this people and their history. Now that I see they would definitely grab people's attention, I will go into many sections much deeper soon. The technology is something I wanted to touch upon quiet eagerly actually. I had many ideas for the minerals they could use for their ammunition and what Irken-made elements that are used in their mining tools. So far, the only thing I have concreted is use of White Phosphorus and basic Welding rods.
An initial concept I almost added was that those who were deemed too unable or too weak would be neglected until death. But to be honest, I thought people would point out that it is almost exactly like the Spartan or militant Greek tradition of throwing unfortunately born children off of cliffs. Although, in the same concept, I do like the concept of the masked genocide. Which is something to expect out of a Fascist dictatorship.
I am currently making a list of landmarks and the basic structure of all the places they live. Especially the under ground, how the metros and bunkers work, along with the deadly mines. I think it would be nice to go into the civilian life along with the soldier life in terms of living.
