The Orchidium Coalition
Background: The Orchidium Coalition emerged from the ashes of persecuted histories, comprising various "orc" species that have faced prejudices and been repeatedly dispossessed of their homelands. Born from the collective histories of the Ledans, Øztazians, Varkonar, Ghan'Tuk, and other such races, the coalition stands as a united front in the galaxy, challenging the deeply entrenched stereotypes that have plagued them for ages.
Ethos: The "orcs" are united by a fierce sense of resilience, a yearning for rightful representation, and a determination to reclaim their rightful place in the cosmos. Contrary to widespread notions of them being spiritually barren and uncultured, the Orchidium Coalition boasts vibrant traditions, intricate art forms, and a deep-rooted sense of community.
Sub-organizations:
- TechTide Guild: Orchestrating the technological prowess of the "orcs," this guild spearheads innovative projects and engineering marvels that often surpass the achievements of many renowned species.
- Cultural Preservation Society (CPS): Dedicated to preserving and promoting the rich cultural tapestry of the "orcs," CPS regularly organizes galactic exhibitions, musical events, and art showcases.
- Homeland Restoration Initiative (HRI): Advocates for the rightful return of "orc" territories and resources that have been wrongfully seized over the eons.
Structure: The Orchidium Coalition is led by the Council of the Diaspora — a representative assembly comprising delegates from each of the "orc" races. The council is responsible for policy-making, diplomacy, and ensuring the collective voice of the coalition is heard amidst the cacophony of galactic politics.
