[[folder:Qhevak]]
The Oortian Community of Qhevak is a decentralized transhumanist Oort cloud habitat federation in Future Tech Rolepay.

* AttackDrone: Most combat synthmorphs have hordes of these for support.
* BrainUploading: Widespread.
* CoolStarship: The HAV-190 Archangel, an over two kilometer long "space fighter" with massive DEW firepower and enough nuclear weapons to raze a planet.
* DeusEstMachina: The main goal of the Entangled Order of Saint Teilhard.
* EnergyWeapon: Widespread on all levels of warfare and treated mostly realistically. Combat synthmorphs typically use self-focusing pulse lasers as their primarily weapons while warships pack high-relativistic particle beams. Almost everything in military use is also covered in multi-spectrum smartmatter phased arrays for point defence and ECM.
* HiveMind: Positively portrayed and widespread, to the point that brain to brain networking is normal for groups working on a shared problem.
* HumanSubspecies: Nearbaselines in general.
* LibertariansInSpace: Mostly, though individual habs within the Community can be quite authoritarian - albeit anyone can leave whenever they want.
* LowCultureHighTech: Kumihos and Tribeships are both ultra-advanced posthuman cultures with mostly tribal modes of societal organisation.
* LotusEaterMachine: The Oyuin Clade were founded on the premise that these are straightforwardly better than reality.
* MechanicalMonster: The MIU-43 ''Rockhound'' combat synthmorph of the Hounds of Tindalos, a heavily armored half ton robot wolf packing more firepower than an Information Age IFV. The spiderlike ''Djieien'' of Shivastra Offensive Services also qualifies.
* MohsScaleOfScienceFictionHardness: One Small Fib. FTL/FTLi is the only thing that goes outside the bounds of known physics, and even then it's vaguely based on an interpretation of string theory.
* OrionDrive: Common for warships, though the mechanical pusher plate system is typically replaced by an electromagnetic field system. The "SNAK" warheads common in space combat also use the force of a nuclear explosion to fire explosively formed kinetic darts at up to ten thousand kilometers a second.
* PrivateMilitaryContractors: Most Qhevaki forces seen outside the Community are these, due to the isolationist posture of society as a whole.
* PostCyberpunk: Mostly. Despite the cyberpunk aesthetics, traditional poverty is a thing of the past - though inequality between clades isn't and traditional humans are essentially obsolete.
* SpaceFighter: Played with - fighters exist, but are the ''largest'' widespread class of military vessel as energy weapons and fusion power get better with scale. The best known fighter class is over 2 kilometers long.
* SpaceStation: Most people live in these.
* StarfishRobots: Most synthmorphs.
* TranshumansInSpace: The premise of the nation.
* WaveMotionGun: The high-relativistic particle beam cannons used as the main guns of many warships.
