Imperial Classification of Sapient Species

Sometimes shortened to Imperial Classification, ICSS is a system that the Imperium of Karadia uses to properly classify sapient species. It is actually the least complicated of classifications, focusing on the origin of a species, how far it is spread and is it in danger of extinction.

An example of such short classification note. They are four main points of such description.

Created by: Xylian Dominion.

This part describes the origin of a described specie. In most cases it is a name of civilization/beings that is responsible for their creation. But there are also other options... DAEMON - They are a product of a daemons (either created by them, or their descendants. EVOLUTION - They are a product of an magically accelerated evolution in certain environments. ??? - There is no dominant theory about their origin.

MARKED FOR EXTERMINATION

After origin a place for certain notes is made. An examples might be: MARKED FOR EXTERMINATION - Which means that the Imperium of Karadia considers this specie a problem, and is actively attempting to purge them from the face of the world. DAMNATIO MEMORIAE - The Imperium is actively supressing the knowledge about this specie existence or details about it. PROTECTED - The Imperium is actively attempting to preserve this specie, since it requires its constant attention to exist. ALL FEMALE RACE - Which means that the specie is composed entirely of females that require males of other species to procreate. ALL MALE RACE - Which means that the specie is composed entirely of males that require females of other species to procreate.

IC: Occurence: Widespread

WIDESPREAD - The specie is widespread, being a majority specie in at least several of imperial vassal states, while being a common sight even outside of it. COMMON - The specie is a common sight in Imperium, forming a majority specie of at least a single major imperial vassal states, being sometimes also encountered outside of it. UNCOMMON - The specie is an uncommon sight in Imperium, forming a majority specie of a small imperial vassal state (not required) or just encountered from time to time outside of it. RARE - The specie is a rare sight in Imperium. It does occur from time to time, but is either limited to a very small region or just spread very thinly. VERY RARE - The specie is a very rare sight in Imperium. Majority of its population never saw one alive and probably only heard about it. ELUSIVE - The specie is practically never encountered in Imperium, with majority of its population not even knowing about their existence. NONE - The specie doesn't exist in Imperium of Karadia. Its either extinct, or simply lives outside of it.

IC: Danger: Not Threatened

This part tells whether the Imperium considers the specie an endangered one. NOT THREATENED - The specie is not threatened with extinction. THREATENED - The specie is theoretically threatened with extinction. It's either limited to a single (but major) state, that could THEORETICALLY be destroyed somehow. VULNERABLE - The specie is in serious danger of extinction, for example by being limited to a single region that could be rather easily wiped out. VERGE OF EXTINCTION - The specie is almost wiped out, existing in a very small groups, often requiring targeted actions to actually keep existing. EXTINCT - The specie is no longer living in this world.
