Faction Name: Fonoss (note: Fonoss people are called Fonai)
Alliance: Federation
Faction Technology:
Construction technology of the Fonai are highly advanced. Huge structure with detailed carving can be found everywhere. This feature extended to their starships as well.
Phase Photon weapons (which means photon is unleashed through acceleration in subspace field):
Photon Beam >> Heavy weapons, mounted on large (sometimes mobile) platforms or starship. Simple and effective (moderate power-use / moderate firepower).
Photon Pulse >> Light weapons, use mostly by infantry due to short firing range. Moderate firepower (for infantry).
Photon Dispenser >> Photonic explosive device. It can be installed as warhead of a missile or starship torpedo.
Shield >> They use two shield types as defensive measure, Void Shield and Polar Shield. Void Shield for energy weapons and Polar Shield for projectile weapons.

Military Strength: Fonoss is more like a defensive warrior. They can construct massive fortress in short time and use that advantage to create their battle tactics. Mobile fortifications can be deployed quickly in time of battle.
Military Weakness: Though excel at construction, their hyperspace technology is quite limited. They can only travel at low hyperspace speed, thus limiting their expansion capability. Their separated shield types means that if they are not combined, they would be more vulnerable to one type of weapons.

Government Style: Female dominant class-based system with 4 standard classes; Rayal, Overseer, Ordinary, and Worker. 2 Special classes; Priestess and Warrior. Royal is ruling class. Councilors (a female and a male for each city/town) are collected in the Grand Council as governing body. A High Matriarch is elected from the Grand Council as the supreme leader with 5-Fonoss-year term. Special classes are not assigned by birth but by selective measures.
Social Flaws: Vocational advancement of skilled people in lower classes (especially Worker) tended to be low. As a result, some high skill individuals of such classes cannot fully use their skill for the greater goods of the Fonoss. Generally, Fonais are not open toward outsider due to their class-based society. Furthermore because Fonoss is female-dominant society (due to their pheromone), most Fonais tended to be indirect in conversation.
Redeeming Feature: Fonais have been exposed to more alien traders during last few decades, allowing the society to be more acceptance to outsiders. Lately, more males were able to rise up to high ranking positions (which is normally quite difficult).

Other information:
Fonais have pale skin and hair color can vary between red, brown, pale-blue, pale-green, and white. Average height is about 2.4 meters. Each Fonai has 2 hearts and 2 completely separated lungs (if one is punctured, the other can still operate). Although their appearance seems like human, Fonai skin is composed of harden chitin layer above thin fat layer (which helps Fonai resist harsh heat and UV generated from Fonoss suns). Fonai optical receptors can detect human visible light to UV wavelength. Female Fonai has pheromone gland, which uses to dominate male (which is stronger gender). Average lifespan is 111 years.
They live in 3 star systems; Fonoss, Kon, and Panit. Fonoss is capitol system which contains 3 inhabited planets; Mattia (capitol), Pron, and Kaius while others only contain one each. Orbital facilities are common sight.

Fonai Military consists of 3 branches; Fonai Navy, Fonai Army, and Fonai Law Enforcer.

HUMAN TRADER
Character: Golarf Calma
Appearance: About 1.75m height, mediumly-built. Black hair, black eyes, Asian skin.
Age: 34

Born on a distant Earther Colony, Golarf Calma grew up peacefully on a community that avoid using technology. However, he and his family were forced to move when the star collapsed - sending a powerful shockwave to destroy the planet. There was only an old starship that was still operational at the time, preventing all population of the small colony to be evacuated. About 800 of 1,200 people managed to get on the starship that waited in orbit when the star collapsed. Golarf and his mother was the last one who boarded the vessel just before the shockwave hit his home. His father in a shuttle just behind them was killed as the shockwave hit the shuttle hard. The starship was able to avoid the worst of it but still taken serious damage to the engine system. The vessel drifted for days in the vast vacuum of space until the 36th day. A huge vessel emerged from hyperspace and detected them right away.

A Fonoss science vessel who watched the collapsing star finally came to investigate an unknown signal. They found these humans barely alive. The Fonai Prime Lady decided to help them despite what other Fonai officers suggested (to leave them be). Ziron Dolthee Roj provided them with food and towed the battered human ship to a habitable planet nearby, allowing them to rebuild everything they lost before leaving to continue their mission.

A few years later, Golarf was so determined to bring himself to the stars no matter what others may think. He and a group of his friends were able to construct a small vessel capable of hyperspace travelling and named it the Lost Hope. Ever since then, he started to travel and finally found out where the Fonoss was. Unfortunately, he was not greeted well in Mattia system where the authorities distrusted strangers. In the end, he was able to make contact with a trading hub in outlying system, Panit. He then began a routine trade-run between his colony and Panit. Many of his friends began to follow his footsteps and thus the trade-route was in place. Years of prosperity had earned some trust from Fonai authorities and the trading continued to Mattia system eventually.

Trade-route came with pirates. Alien marauders started to raid the trade-route and targeted only human ships. Many of Golarf's friends were lost until the brutal pirates. So, he trained himself in the art of fighting. Golarf was a good shooter but still he needed to learn a lot more of close combat. He had been attacked by the raider twice and survived, the first by using his maneuvering skill in an asteroid field and the second by luring the raiders to board his ship and firing on it at point-blank range. Despite all odds, he still thrived from this trade-route.

Time units
Ekvin = 1 second
Livin = 50 second (Fonoss minute)
Kovin = 50 Livins (Fonoss hour)
Razvin = 7 Kovins (Fonoss quarter of a day)
Bosdar = 4 Razvins (Fonoss day)
Mu’dar = 20 Bosdars (Fonoss month)
Errdar = 20 Mu’dars (Fonoss year)
Indar = 10 Errdars (Fonoss decade)
Felhdar = 10 Indars (Fonoss century)
Sauldar = 10 Felhdars (Fonoss millennium)

Here are Fonoss Starships that I drew and scanned.

Connoi class Battlecruiser
Dachar class Light Explorator Cruiser
Chavis class Heavy Explorator Cruiser
Dichar class Destroyer
Vitar class Assault Frigate
Jazt class Bombardier Frigate

Assault Frigate is a close-range combat vessel while Bombardier Frigate is long-range attack vessel.
Explorator Cruiser is a fast warship with extreme firepower (less armored than Line battleship the same size).
