siliconsandGitHub 1b85a518ab removes character species, combines BES with normal shadekin (#6886)
i don't know why we keep doing crap like this

"oh, but it's unfair to have x"
"oh, but it's unrealistic to have x"
"oh, but we might upset people if we do x"

and then we end up massively overcomplicating the code by literal
thousands of lines of maintenance because no one wants to make up their
mind

out with the old,
in with the new,
there will be no  more shitcode for the sake of appeasement.

**Yes, this is a shadekin buff. That's temporary until powers are
converted to abilities.**
I'm tired of nerfing crap by copypaste, 120 points of healing isn't
enough to justify 120 additional lines of code.

desc = "Born from the cradle of humanity, the Orion Confederation is a coalition of human worlds spanning much of the space of the Orion Spur. \
A constitutional government, the Orion Confederation was built from the remains of Terra's pre-space governments, and the semi-independent \
colonies of Luna and Mars. \
The largest megacorporations in the galaxy are predominantly human-centric, new frontiers are established on a regular basis by OriCon's \
explorers, and territories solidify with every passing year. Today the Orion Confederation stands as the cultural center \
of the galaxy, with it's megacorporations bringing untold prosperity to the galaxy... along with untold toil and struggle. \
The Orion Confederation's hold on it's native megacorps is always tenuous; these major entities are almost left to their own affairs, \
especially in the aftermath of the Phoron Wars, in regards to one of it's flagship corporations: Nanotrasen."

desc = "What began as a minor galactic power quickly grew to a major player on the galactic scene; the Naramadi Ascendancy. \
An isolationist empire, the Ascendancy sits on a pocket of rich mineral veins that have proven to be a both a boon and a curse for a people that wanted \
to live their lives in peace. \
While most Naramadi technology resembles that of the outside world, some of it is strange and too complex \
for the likes of the Orion Confederation to copy. Their culture of 'training over technology' and praise of individual strength \
makes it difficult for other empires to relate to them, spare the Unathi and Zaddat. \
While the Ascendancy might be one of the three founding fathers of the Hegemony, they have always put a high emphasis on self-governance - \
keeping the same rules for their current allies as they do for everyone else."

a long-standing compact which now incorporates not only it's founders, but newer races to the galactic stage such as \
the Akula and Vulpkanin, and which has been a reliable ally of the Orion Confederation for over 400 years. Vikaran scientists \
were the first to crack the intricacies of superluminal travel, and their engineers the first to devise the FTL drives which are now used \
throughout the galaxy. Technologically advanced, yet diplomatically-minded, the combine's many territories span the central region of the \
galaxy's Perseus Arm. The Combine's flagship corporation is Vey-Med, one of the largest and most well-known medical megacorporations in the \
galaxy, which was founded and is primarily run by the Skrell."
