Howdy hey, this looks super interesting and I was wondering if it was at all possible to still reserve a slot. I'd understand if you said no, there's like 20 people here. I was considering something related to the asteroid belt if that was acceptable, probably involving Ceres, Vesta, and such things but its mentioned that the Belt State is still a thing so I'm good with whatever.

Hansa Cartel



Subject: Faction







Culture: Mistery shrouds the Hansa Cartel, as much as it did with now disappeared Futokai Society. However, this Organization model stablished a complex etiquette as a neutral ground for interactig with the very diferent backgrounds of the Cartel agents. Some of the cartel highest directives are great collectionists and philantropists, and that seems to be a value greatly appreciated in the Cartel elites. Honesty, loyalty, dedication, cooperation, intelligence, and subtleness.
Many subgroups included in the Cartel have very peculiar cultural perks, that are, however, not relevant to the executive funcions of the Hansa Cartel.

Military: The Cartel forces are not an army. Instead, they control an heterogeneus group of gang members, terrorist cells, paramilitar groups and spy and saboteur agents.
Unoficially, the Cartel operates a large fleet, composed mainly of small fast vessels., utility and industrial civilian ships as well as some big cargo ships,

Name: The Navitas or simply Navitas
Government: Oligarchy
Three Ruling Members; Rostov Vasieli, Gerrard Halcroix, Anil Chanda

History: Following suit with the rest of the solar system, the Neptune colonies declared independence shortly after Mars. This declaration went largely unnoticed however due to the other conflicts closer to earth, leaving Neptune out of the loop. The Neptune colonies weren’t completely spared from the violence however. Large Naval battles were fought around the planets and large scale land campaigns were fought over control of its moon colonies. The conquest of Triton by Chinese forces left the colonies on that small moon obliterated and littered with destroyed military hardware. While the numerous naval battles around the ice giant itself have left hundreds of destroyed ship carcasses in orbit around the planet . Although the battles around the ice giant were very bloody the colonies in the planets atmosphere remained mostly intact and unscathed. This allowed for a new government to be adopted quickly and without much distraction. Three major national groups make up the majority of the colonies: The Russians, French and Indians. These three groups formed an oligarchy and have one representative from each national group that come together to debate laws and make policy. This relationship has been a friendly one, Russian and French paramilitary along side indian military troops defended indian installations on the triton and participated in naval battles above the planet. The combined military of Neptune was nearly decimated however and for defense the planet now relies on paramilitary groups to act as both the police and military for the new Navitas colonies.

Society: Navitas is largely “sea-faring” community, the colonies floating in the atmosphere use ships for everyday use. Every family, man, woman and sometimes child have their own personal ships to get around in. There is a high level of travel everyday between the different structures making the colony as a whole extremely well-connected. Navitas citizens see each other as close friends and it is common to to know someone where ever you go in the colony. The three cultures have mixed almost seamlessly, music, cuisine and dance have been converted into a fusion of the three. Because of the unbreathable and downright hostile atmosphere, living is done in large ultra resistant structures. These structures are usually domed shape and sport many different radial smiler domes. More often then not, there are collections of domes connected via large bridges and “highways” for quick and easy travel. There are living domes floating in the high to mid troposphere to combat the pressure and temperatures from the planet below . Atmospheric domes use repulsor magnets that allow the dome to stay floating in place, while air intakes convert the constant gale force winds into energy through turbines. Due to the high hydrogen content in the atmosphere using combustion based propulsion on planet is strictly forbidden, citizens get around using sails an archaic but effective method. Because of the high winds sails can be used to attain blinding speeds and transfer people and goods around neptune very quickly. In the living domes in the high troposphere personal travel is hazardous because of the increased wind speed, only a very select few human pilots can maintain control of their crafts at this speed. Most of the piloting and navigation is done by computers and is human assisted, but a large number of personal craft are still completely human piloted and seen as sport craft. A number of orbital stations serve as trading hubs for bringing supplies down to the planet and point of entry for foreigners. Navigating the hazy expanses of neptune without the proper know how or navigation charts can be deadly. All foreign ships must dock at these stations and travel down to the planet by way of the space elevator, rental sails are available for a price once in atmosphere.

Entertainment: Sport is an important part of Navitas culture, sport is the only thing that Navitas citizens come to odds with. Sailing, Football ( Soccer), Basketball, Baseball……most of the earth based sports have been retained in Navitas. Betting is common and each living dome usually has its own sports team. There are also clubs and bars all over the different living domes.

Technology: Blue Water Propulsion and Ballistics
The company was founded on the Neptune colonies and specializes in advanced propulsion and weapon systems, because of the need for non-combustion propulsion.

Magnetoplasmadynamic thrusters: is a form of electrically powered spacecraft propulsion which uses the Lorentz force, the force on a charged particle by an electromagnetic field to generate thrust. Currently in the late research and close the development phase.

Magnetic Acceleration weapons: Using causeless tungsten rounds, rounds are magnetically propelled at blinding speeds, aiming more for penetration and stopping power. This method requires no combustion, rounds are electrically propelled with minimal heat gain.

Repulsor Magnets: These are constantly in a state of research, due to the need for a more energy efficient method to keep living domes in the air. The repusor uses a polarity opposite to the planets magnetic field to keep the domes in the air.

Military: Due to the lack of a colony wide military force, the government has allowed paramilitary groups to become both the police force and military for Navitas. The groups must adhere to stringent conditions and regulations before being recognized as a paramilitary group. These regulations are in place so that one group does not try and overthrow the government through force ( Although, what citizen of Navitas would want to do that?). Each group trains and ultimately funds itself and members, as a result each paramilitary organization has a different standard of training. These groups do receive hardware and some funding from the government but are mostly self contained.

Notable Paramilitary groups:
Navitas Defense force ( Police trained)

Second Sons ( regulars)

Abakumov and Gupta Special Solutions Group (Specialty Trained shock force)

Navy: Usually re-purposed civilian ships fitted with weapons ( Auto-cannons, Missiles, large caliber cannons). The Navy consists of privateer vessels of varying classes, any civilian captain who wishes to serve is given his pick of weapons for his vessel.

////////Name: Vesta Free State
///////Subject: Faction
//////Location:Vesta and Pallas Family Asteroids, several resource asteroids and space stations; Main Belt; Solar system

////History: The Vesta Free State was originally a small group within the Belt State in the early days who were critical of the former's actions. Not wanting to follow the same path as the Belt State they hoped to break away while the Solar War was still young and avoid serious harm. Unfortunately the conflict escalated before they had a chance. By the time the dust settled the solar system was in shambles, including the Belt State. Finally seeing their chance they people of Vesta broke away from the Belt State and formed their own nation. Having come out surprisingly intact from the war Vesta found itself in a powerful position in the Belt and quickly absorbed the other asteroids in the Vesta family into its growing sphere of influence. Less than a decade later Peacekeepers from Vesta were fighting to restore order to the chaos riddled corridors of Pallas and in doing so forged a binding alliance between the second and third largest objects in the asteroid belt. Attempts to take Ceres, and with it control of the seat of power of the Belt State, were shut down when the Belt State recovered faster than expected. The Vesta Free State decided not to risk war with resources as thin as they were at the time and simply moved to consolidate its power base at home. Using its rich resource base the VFS quickly began rebuilding its infrastructure in order to assert its independence against would-be invaders.

///Culture: The people of the Vesta Free State are a fiercely nationalistic and precision oriented people. They see themselves as genuine proof of the Belter ideal unlike the Belt State who they have come to consider Insular and foolish; too busy plotting revenge against Mars to truly thrive on their own and reach prosperity. They do not find mars to be truly to blame for the chaos in the belt anymore than fire is responsible for burning down one's house instead of the person who started the fire. They instead view what they consider "the old order" to be responsible for the chaos of the Solar War and have great disdain for those remnants of the former power blocks: Belt State and Venus included. They have managed to retain the obsessive attention to detail that kept early colonists alive in an environment where minor oversights killed. The VFS also has a pronounced futurist bent, always seeking the bleeding edge in efforts to bring about true prosperity. It is a common practice among Vesta citizens to alter their children's genome in the womb to get certain desired traits. While this is a widespread phenomena its not a societal requirement nor is it particularly encouraged.


/Technology: The Vesta Free State makes extensive use of genetic engineering in many areas including the vat grown minds in their infamous "War Golems" as well as in the general populace to limited degrees.

For anyone curious, yes i'm still here. However my absence has been due to moving houses. I'll resume activity later this week since moving's delayed my ability to work on my own app or on starting the RP. Meanwhile Iso, you should start reviewing apps and accepting if you're available.

I also updated the candidate list with some bits of system-wide lore and modified the back story for Eridani a bit, making the GIS the major patron for the colonial mission to eridani in a non-aligned movement of sorts that had various organizations that were all put on the same colony ship and left to their own devices. What could possibly go wrong?

@Willew

The warp gates aren't really controllable in the regard you have it. Making a warp gate isn't possible from sol [in the time epoch this RP takes place, at least] and I find it a little unfair to block off a entire group of players. However the situation of warp gates and their mechanics i'll explain when I have the time like how I explained FAL's mechanics. Perhaps one of the centuari folk [be it newsun or maxwell or anyone else with interest in a extrasolar colony in the centuari multi-star system] may be able to arrange a decent set-up with you on the matter. For instance HEAVEN might find use for a cartel.

//////Name: Andraste
/////Subject: Planet – Gas Giant
////Location: Epsilon Eridani - second gas giant
///Geography: Andraste is easy to describe on Lucifers advice; there is gas, like, a ton of gas. I mean we're literally talking about enormous amounts of gas here. Its land mass it’s close to none, and the only crawling and disturbed core of this mini, failed husk, tries desperately to get things going on the hypothetical surface, with the hot metals and minerals of its.
Andraste takes around 2354 earth days to cross the space in a perfectly circular orbit, whilst spinning at a doubtlessly low velocity around its own axis. It has two moons, both of them inhabited by the Federation of Lucifer.
//Atmosphere: The atmosphere of Andraste is particularly dense, composed mostly of Hydrogen (H2 87%), helium (He 12%) and other minor gases (like methane 0.87% and ammonia 0.12%). The composition of the clouds varies with depth and increasing pressure. In the upper layers, with a temperature ranging between 100–160 K ,the clouds consist mostly of ammonia ice. The inner layers are instead composed of helium and hydrogen, at 290–235 K temperatures. The winds often create heavy storms, whose monthly courses are highly prevedible and generate great wealth for the tourist stations orbitating around Andraste.
/Fauna: N/a
Other: There are currently eight known orbital stations around Andraste, six of which are mere commercial and touristic piers. Of the left three, two are exploiting colonies, and one is the second orbital center of the DRAMA, currently under construction.
This planet is also well known for its wonderful rings, claimed by the royalty and nominated ‘human natural patrimony’, thus preventing its legal exploitation. To sustain the control measurements of its state, the government has funded a monthly cruise liner to visit the natural oddity. Thanks to this, and thanks to the ‘field AI’, capable of remembering over ten billions particles in a 3D field, the Central monarchy can both keep track of the rings and produce a small profit at the same time.

//////Name: Lucifer
/////Subject: Planet - Moon
////Location: Epsilon Eridani - Andraste
///Geography: Originally a barren planet, though very active, and self sustaining. It has been analyzed that Lucifer has an inner structure incredibly similar to that of earth, with an inner core divided in two sections; moreover it has been calculated that its surface is around 2/5 of the earth’s one. The main difference between the two geological environments is the core, whose minor activity generates only a mild gravity field, almost incapable of keeping a constant environment, thus making the temperatures on the surface variate largely. After initial analysis, it was discovered that the surface of the moon was full of mountains (but without traces of streams or lakes, having never been water on it), whose genealogy is still being analyzed. The poles are really different from each other: whilst the northern one is never irradiated by solar rays, the southern one results being the hotter location on the moon.
Today Lucifer has undergone four hundreds of years of terraformation, and despite the numerous wars that had scarred the population and the planet itself, today Lucifer can slightly be considered like the old earth, having the ‘Spyres’ created an electromagnetic field which engages and creates a better and larger atmosphere.
The concept of ‘year’ has radically evolved from the old days of earth-centrism. Now that the human race was no more on a planet, but a satellite depending on a larger mate, for year is commonly intended the time which the moon spends orbiting around the gas giant. It takes 25 days of 36 hours to circle vertically (due to the perpendicular orbit on respect of Andraste’s one) around the gas giant, and thanks to this is possible to look at the big and overwhelming surface of the neighbor around eighteen hours a year*. An another reason adducted for such innovative way of calculating time can be derived from the time Andraste needs to do a complete circle around Epsilon Eridani: around 2354 earth days. Being Andraste orbit perfectly circular around the star, the effects of its movements across the cosmos change really little for Lucifer; or at least, decisedly less than how much does the moon’s orbit itself.
//Atmosphere: The atmosphere of Lucifer was originally thin and scarred. Being no actual ozone strate present (or any other kind of so resistant gas) to protect the land, sustaining life was practically impossible, as the satellite was constantly irradiated by strong solar ultraviolets. Originally, most of the moon’s atmosphere was composed of thin strates of oxygen, and other minor gases, but after the radical terraforming changes the moon undergone, today the moon can perfectly sustain life.
The atmosphere is very earth-like, though climates are really restricted to the temperate and boreal ones.
/Fauna: Several peculiar dead bacteria were found inside the original ice of the moon, which will be the protagonists of the 'Hazardous leak'.
Other: N/a

//////Name: Eris
/////Subject: Planet - Moon
////Location: Epsilon Eridani - Andraste
///Geography: A barren and dead moon, with a core whose only capabilities are a slow rotation motion. The surface is cospiciously furrowed by the violent landings of meteors, which created huge craters. However, this natural formations helped the first colonists in building more easily their town-domes, thanks to the deep holes in the ground, necessary for the underground sustainment facilities.
//Atmosphere: There’s no atmosphere, and gravity is kept dare to anyone. Every city built here has elaborated underground facilities to furnish the population with an artificial and local gravity field. This total absence increases the damage brought by wandering asteroids and meteorites, whose impact is much bigger and dangerous than normal. However, since the conquest of the Liberal Democratic Socialists governments by Queen Lilia II, the surface has undergone radical changes and terraforming, to sustain planetary protection artillery against asteroids, and great artificial fields facilities.
Inside the town-domes (most of which of elliptical shape) are present around 15 earth-like biome varieties, and its impossible to find genetically mutated conifers and spruces. As well as mutated humans.

I'd like to see more info, the picture gallery of military personnel and vehicles fails to explain the concept of the faction to me and it seems that for the past couple weeks it's almost entirely what you've worked on. Sure they like war and are likely militaristic due to their origins, but I know nothing of their society like why they're a elective monarchy or how their culture has developed.

I am aware you app is a work in progress, but you need to progress your app in other areas outside of military before I can do any early acceptance.

///////Subject: Faction/////Government: Stratocracy////History:///Culture: The fleet boasts a culture that had a diverse origin; while always a “navy” culture, the various original members of the fleet brought with them their cultures from the various countries that made up the NAU, although Americans and Brazilians made up the bulk of the fleet’s personnel. Over the centuries these cultures blended together into what could be considered a homogenous blob. Honor, loyalty, science, efficiency, hard work, and equal opportunity are all core values of the fleet. Honor and loyalty are especially important to members of the fleet; in the past ‘honor duels’ had to be outlawed due to the alarming number of fatal injuries they had caused.//Military:/Technology:Other:


Everything is in check; while technology has no information the culture and military sections explain well enough what their tech is like and I am aware of the .1c propulsion which for your guys is fine due to their unique circumstances.

The only area that i'd like to see filled out more is their history section, however I know the basics of it through chatzy enough. However you probably should fill out the history section so other players know that some people from their fleet deserted while they were at Eridani around 2310 or so.

Well, if I can join, I call from the '[Desert world]'!//////Name: Setekh./////Subject: Planet.////Location: Epsilon Eridani.///Geography: The planet has some craters, that are as large as 60 km and smaller than 10 km. Since Setekh has no oceans and hence no 'sea level', it is convenient to define an arbitrary zero-elevation level or "datum" for mapping the surface. The datum for Setekh is arbitrarily defined in terms of a constant atmospheric pressure. There is 610.5 Pa (6.105 mbar), on the basis that below this pressure liquid water can never be stable (i.e., the triple point of water is at this pressure). This value is only 0.6% of the pressure at sea level, which forms the zero elevation datum for our planet. Note that the choice of this value does not mean that liquid water does exist below this elevation, just that it could were the temperature to exceed 273.16 K.There is a dichotomy between the northern and southern hemispheres. Most of the northern hemisphere is flat, with few impact craters, and lies below the conventional ‘zero elevation’ level. In contrast, the southern hemisphere is mountains and highlands, mostly well above zero elevation. The two hemispheres differ in elevation by 1 to 3 km. One distinctive feature is the fretted terrain. It contains mesas, knobs, and flat-floored valleys having walls about a mile high. Around many of the mesas and knobs are lobate debris aprons that have been shown to be rock-covered glaciers. There is also large river valleys and outflow channels that cut through the dichotomy.The river valleys and outflow channels are empty of course, but this could lead that Setekh once had water. The idea of how Setekh got to the wasteland of where it's today is that, a large comet hit on the side of the planet, which caused it to move by a couple of feet. Which caused the planet to go dry faster and after the planet was empty of water, the sand began to form. //Atmosphere: The atmosphere of Setekh has around 96% carbon dioxide, 1.93% argon and 1.89% nitrogen along with traces of oxygen and water. The atmosphere is quite dusty, containing particulates about 1.5 µm in diameter which give the skies the light tan color when seen from the surface. The scale height of the atmosphere is about 10.8 km (6.7 mi) because the surface gravity of Setekh is only about 38%, an effect offset by both the lower temperature and 50% higher average molecular weight of the atmosphere. The solar wind interacts directly with the ionosphere, lowering the atmospheric density by stripping away atoms from the outer layer.Methane has been detected in the atmosphere of Setekh with a mole fraction of about 30 ppb; it occurs in extended plumes, and the profiles imply that the methane was released from discrete regions. In northern midsummer, the principal plume contained 19,000 metric tons of methane, with an estimated source strength of 0.6 kilogram per second. Volcanic activity, cometary impacts, and the Aasiths are among possible sources. Methane could also be produced by a non-biological process called serpentinization involving water, carbon dioxide, and the mineral olivine, which is known to be common on Setekh. It could come from a byproduct of electrical discharges from dust devils and dust storms or the result of UV radiation. Setekh also has a metal-poor core, generating a weak magnetic field and allowing more solar radiation into the atmosphere. /Fauna: [only if the world is valid for alien life]Other://////Name: Aasiths./////Subject: Intelligent Species.////Location: On the desert planet of Setekhin the Epsilon Eridani.///Physiology/Biology: Due to Setekh having a metal-poor core, generating a weak magnetic field and allowing more solar radiation into the atmosphere. To deal with this, they evolved some form of metallic "exoskeleton" to protect themselves. Their reflective plate-like skin makes them less susceptible to long-term, low-level radiation exposure, but they do not possess any sort of "natural armor". Their blood has a dark blue colouration because of that. It was differcult from the Aasiths to devolpe a nose or the ability to smell, so their eye sight got better. The lower class (the poor and homeless) had to lived in the surface because of that, their eye sights are better than the Aasiths living underground.//Psychology: /Technological limitsOther:


Too WIP to accept for now; however the properties of the planet you have will be official.

The desert world is now named Setekh!

Despite being only slightly larger than earth, the planet is completely hostile to human life. The planet’s atmosphere is being constantly flayed by the star it orbits, there is no solid surface other than lava and the radiation levels are extreme. However, the cold side of the tidally locked planet is the perfect temperature for the formation and support of an ingenious rock superstructure that spans for tens of miles in every direction; even tens of metres below the surface lava layer of the planet. This strange structure, colloquially known as ‘Limbo,' is said to be home to the elusive and fearsome ‘Berith's Hellions’ rebel group, granting them shelter within it’s massive span of caves that provide vital protection from the inhospitable elements above. /////Name: Elysium////Subject: Planet///Location: Alpha Centurai//Geography: Elysium is Alpha Centurai's Water World. The entire surface is covered an a single super-ocean that reaches a maximum depth of 236km, far exceeding the depth of the oceans of Earth. There is very little solid ground to speak of, any that exists are simply the result of mantle anomalies that cause jagged and jutting icebergs to protrude from the water surface, from the exotic ice mantle itself. These icebergs can reach many hundreds of metres above the surface, but are too steep, small, and rough for any Human habitation. /Fauna: Elysium is number to a multitude of bizarre and unusual creatures. The majority of these are ocean-dwelling organisms, though some airborne creatures exist, using Elysium's jutting ice structures as nesting grounds and places of respite. Some of these strange animals include: or 'Sheet-Feeders' are small, nearly microscopic creatures that have spheroid bodies and a ring of nine, short tendrils circling their bodies. They have, strangely, two mouth-like cavities lined with a set of hundreds of tiny grasping mandibles. These mouths can be found on either side of the tendril line that crosses the Sheet-Feeder body. These creatures display an unusual behaviour when large quantities come together: they align themselves and grasp on to the tendrils of their neighbours with their own; this happens in massive numbers, the result being a huge sheet of tiny creatures that filter the water for particles of nutrients. /Atmosphere: Largely CO2, O and H20 Vapour. Trace amounts of other gasses. Other:///////Name: HEAVEN (Holy Ecclesiarchy And Venerable Elysian Nobility)//////Subject: Faction/////Location: Elysium////Government: Ecclesiarchal Dictatorship///History: The nation of HEAVEN is a relatively new establishment, though the current leadership caste often insists that HEAVEN is eternal, and has always been. The original voyage to Alpha Centurai saw the foundation of a very different nation upon Elysium, one that was constructed entirely upon floating, domed cities that drifted on the currents of the planet; the name of this precursor nation has since been eradicated (or lost, as the nobility caste of HEAVEN will convince you). It is generally accepted that the original colonies of Elysium were led by a man named Harlan Egris, a designated colony leader and an integral part of the NAU's extrasolar colonisation committee. The colonies were run through a mostly democratic system (with an advisory council for good measure) with a huge focus on education and research; and excelled in their designation for a time. The Solar War, however, radically changed the fate of Elysium: when contact with Sol was lost, one of the upper advisory council families began to accuse Egris of being an abomination and a spiritual threat to the people of Elysium. At first, the wild accusations were given little credit, but as they persisted, they gained popularity and credibility within the colonies of Elysium. The rumours concluded with a short but violent coup de'tat. Egris was executed, as was his advisory council on charges of Heresy and Crimes Ggainst God, and the Elohim family took full control of Elysium and it's colonies with the full support of it's populace. They established themselves quickly as eternal rulers of the planet, declared themselves Gods among mortals and founded the extant nation of HEAVEN in place of the colonies. //Culture: How an individual is treated and how he acts in HEAVEN is entirely dictated by their place in the hierarchy: the majority of the civilians fall into the lowest class, and they are widely regarded by other nations within Alpha Centurai and Sol as an oppressed populace, though they are often blissfully unaware of it themselves. They are convinced that they must work tirelessly for their masters in order to gain access to an arbitrary 'Promised Land' upon death. HEAVEN is presented as a utopian society, supposedly with no crime and with art in abundance; the sad reality is that all criminals are brutally executed without trial and Elysium 'art' is mostly imported from other cultures secretly, giving the oppressed populace the illusion of freedom.The upper caste of HEAVEN, however, lead far different lives. They engage in hedonism copiously, and you can often ring them atop their personal silver spires in the cities, hosting orgies and drinking themselves to blackout on the finest wines, taking part in frighteningly sadistic activities and ritual killings. Their self-indulgence knows nearly no limits; they never have to work as all of their needs are met by the lower caste who work themselves to death for no pay, simply because they are misguided by those who claim to guide them. While the Elysium colonies before the onset of HEAVEN were domed, the new leadership has seen a few drastic changes to this paradigm. The domes have since been removed, and the populace have been forcibly (often at great pain and expense) modified to be capable of filtering oxygen through the thick, steamy atmosphere. The city of Eden has also been recently constructed, serving as the pride and joy of the Elohim family. /Technology: Teachnology of Elysium has always had it's roots in art and aesthetic. It is less functional, but more designed to impress and convert. military technology focuses on intricate armours and ostentatious laser weaponry. These assets do little in practice, but HEAVEN knows that to win a battle, the enemy simply needs to believe that you are capable of more than you are. Other://///Name: Berith’s Hellions////Subject: Organization///Location: Hell//History: The Hellions are a shady, dangerous, and outright frightening group of rebels and defectors from the society of HEAVEN. Most have roots in the lower caste, but a select few broke away from the upper caste, disgusted by the lives they were choosing to live. Stories tell of warriors as fierce as demons descending from the sky, borne of Hell itself, to wreak havoc upon their brethren in Elysium. The truth is, however, that the Hellions are simply advocates of freedom; a group composed of those who see past the oppression of HEAVEN and are willing to do anything to push past the veil that it has so cleverly placed upon itself. The Hellions were formed and are still led by one Berith Hellrunner (by birth ), the child of Harlan Egris, the leader of the original colonies of Elysium. After his execution by the deposing forces of HEAVEN, he and his mother fled off-world in search of sanctuary, but could find none within reasonable distance of Elysium. For a time they seemed doomed to die alone, drifting between planets of Centurai; it was only by sheer luck that in a last ditch effort, scans of the cold side of Hell revealed an igneous superstructure that seemed suitable for habitation, albeit barely. Other fleeting supporters of the Egris family soon tracked and discovered the frightened mother and child in the structure now known as Limbo and made it their goal to set up a suitable sanctuary within. This base of operations becomes home to the Hellions years after, when Berith was old enough to fend for himself. It is said that every year, the Hellions descend to Elysium to pull away worthy individuals from the oppressive society of HEAVEN to join their ranks. Nobody really knows if this is myth, or hold some credit, however... /Information:Other://///Name: Eden////Subject: City///Location: Elysium//History:/Information:Other://///Name: Limbo////Subject: City///Location: Hell//History:/Information:Other://///Name: The Burning Ones////Subject: Organization///Location: Elysium//History:/Information:Other://///Name: Berith Hellrunner////Subject: Character///Location: Limbo / Hell//Appearance:/Biography:Other://///Name: Aamos Sonnellion ////Subject: Character///Location: Limbo / Hell//Appearance:/Biography:Other://///Name: Arkiel Elohim////Subject: Character///Location: Elysium / Eden//Appearance:/Biography:Other://///Name: Koriel Elohim////Subject: Character///Location: Elysium / Eden//Appearance:/Biography:Other://///Name: Uriel the Watcher////Subject: Character///Location: Eden / Elysium//Appearance:/Biography:Other:.

WIPLocation:: The moons of Jupiter and SaturnGovernment:: Military AuthoritarianHistory:: The Jovian league draws its roots from early colonization efforts of old earth. As colonies began to spring up through the moons, earth began calling for resources to sustain itself. At first the Jovians were more than happy as they were just a colony of their home world, earth. As time went on an they became more and more abused, a sort of national pride kicked in and they began a bid for independence. Families of the miners of Jupiter and Saturn began leaving earth which bolstered numbers and the ships they brought seemed to bolster the Jovians resolve. The taxation of heavy metals and gasses began towards earth did not help the situation on earth. When the Solar war began, the CCZ arrived in large numbers to take over the resource rich moons and machinery that at the time, has been untouched by the war. They were somewhat well received as the Jovians felt like they had some security. The GIU would tear that security down in a heart beat as they arrived in force, causing fighting right in the Jovians living room. As the two fought it out, various colonies were occupied by marines from both sides until the third earth faction arrived. An NAU fleet arrived and for a while, they fought it out but as they began to tire, the Jovians made a move on the occupied colonies, from within. It was luck that the colonies weren't bombed from orbit as they began liberating the worlds, the fleets started receiving word of earths fall and that their war was over and a cease fire was created. The Jovians were now in the middle of a culture war as the earth forces began merging peacefully in to the colonies they once occupied militarily. At first it was harsh and people didn't trust one another but after two hundred years, the old wounds had healed as the old generations died out. There would still be some finger pointing to this day and the occasional extremist would raise their voice but one thing would always arrive to snuff it out, the Jovian military. Made up of all factions, the military grew into a juggernaut with a sole purpose of not allowing another solar war to ravage the only home these men and women have. Numerous rulers have come and gone but none have ever been allowed to lead without the backing of the military. Some colony leaders have lasted mere days before vanishing or being publicly executed to be sure people to understand how serious they are about their mission, to protect the Jovian LeagueCulture: Various cultures have taken root in the nation that are traced directly to the old super nations of earth. One dominant belief is shared through them though, the defense of the league itself. There is no one religion that shapes any ideology or any one figurehead that is revered as a grand leader of old. There is an criminal culture that has formed in the bowels of the nation that has formed everything from black market weapons dealers to mere gangs that fight for food.Military:Technology:Other:====================================================================================================Subject:: PlanetLocation:: JupiterGeography:: Old craters now filled with green fields with settlements dotting the surface. both small and large canyons stretch for miles with cities built into the more shallow and wider ones.

Much of the culture can be seen in its building styles that vary from race to race. The city itself is very calm and reserved as the police patrol it heavily. This place is one of the few Idyllic places in the League.Other:Being the Capitol of the Jovian League and named after the man who first discovered the planet, the city is an impressive display of craftsmanship. Large pillars line streets with ornate crafted lamps. Huge sky scrapers and massive arrays of mass transit systems define this city as one of the biggest in the League. The city is built in a circular pattern with an underground city that supports it. Huge underground power stations fuel the busy world above it. The Capitol building itself is underground for protection./////Name:////Subject: Character///Location://Appearance:/Biography:Other:====================================================================================================Subject:: PlanetLocation:: SaturnGeography:: Numerous plains flanked by light mountains.

The world is full of open colonies and its underground facilities aren't even half as big as the ones on Ganymede. The reason for this is that the world had many domed colonies at the point of Terra-forming. The world has few, but heavily populated large cities that are partially underground. The buildings are close together and have massive enclosed foot bridges from building to building. Mag lev trains move throughout the city on a very complex rail system that has become more and more crowded as the cities slowly expand. Few settlements exist outside the major cities but usually have less than two hundred colonists, making these settlements nothing more than a footnote. Name:: KarstownSubject:: Capitol CityLocation:: TethysCulture:: Karstown is a heavily populated city but the majority is Ethnic NAU descendants. Other: The Karstown settlement was established shortly after the solar war ended and the League was in its infancy. The NAU portion of the fleet spearheaded forming a more NAU affiliated colony and at the time the man the colony was named for, Randy Karson, was one of the proponents of a more unified nation. His desire to tear down those barriers was so strong that he ordered families to be spread throughout the league to every world to promote unity so that the original ideology that formed the nation in the first place, to never be conquered or destroyed, would require no interior racial hatred. To this day, the planet is still more ethnic NAU than any other race.====================================================================================================/////Subject: Planet////Location:///Geography://Atmosphere:/Fauna: [only if the world is valid for alien life]Other:====================================================================================================/////Subject: Planet////Location:///Geography://Atmosphere:/Fauna: [only if the world is valid for alien life]Other:====================================================================================================/////Subject: Planet////Location:///Geography://Atmosphere:/Fauna: [only if the world is valid for alien life]Other:


While currently your lore is incomplete, especially in regards to military and tech [I know some bits about their capabilities from what I gleamed off the app sheet and what I know from OOC, however] you're accepted.

The population count of the city you have seems a bit small; feel free to up the numbers to a couple million if you want.

And as a note, feel free to make the plants any color you like; Isotope's genetic engineering of plants has opened the door for more radical modification of plant life. Not to mention already today there's plants that glow in the dark.

[Complete]~~~~~~~~~ Watson Faction/Artificial Intelligence Tyre, Earth, Sol; [Triton, Neptune, Sol] <either nonexistent or only the groundworks of a construction project Watson is in direct control of all its agents. They are just extensions of itself, like limbs are to you and I. Watson is a series of servers and at least a miles' worth of network cabling. Watson also stores routines in its drones, as well as in data center spaces that it rents from local governments under a shell corporation, "Watson Data Industries". Any forces Watson has are defensive in nature. These mainly consist of a few land, air, and sea drones near Tyre. There is also a micro-satellite parked in geostationary orbit above Tyre. In the bunker itself, there are lethal laser and machinegun turrets, explosive traps, and blast doors. Most of its technological innovation is in the digital medium. Most of that is just Watson's day-to-day processing of information. While Watson has a small fleet of unmanned vehicles, they aren't quite enough for complete independence - Watson sees humanity's infrastructure as sufficient and more economical for most of its purposes. On top of that, its drones swing from making incredibly elegant decisions one moment to making incredibly basic mistakes the next. Usually these mistakes are a result of unaccounted-for external variables that Watson can't react to in time.The other main technological innovation that Watson has are the advanced PDA's that he distributes to his human agents. The PDA's have powerful communications antennaes, many digital, audio, visual, and chemical sensors, and have been locally adapted for power and data ports. They are Watson's eyes, ears, and mouth.

The ships seem a bit advanced in design; although this may due to the deisgn more than actual advancement.

We can work out the details on the history later, since the attacking of the palace will have fun consequences that I need to think through. However the titan-like's name I am going to modify a bit if it's okay with you. [Yumogesi is my proposed name]

Will wait before accepting since your app is still too WIP to accept.

Looks good to me, although the early accounts of the history seem a bit dubious with the any weapon aspect; genetic modification has advantages, but a guy with a rifle is going to take down a super human who is bare handed unless the weapons used were like, swords or something.

Other that that, accepted.

Faction Mistery shrouds the Hansa Cartel, as much as it did with now disappeared Futokai Society. However, this Organization model stablished a complex etiquette as a neutral ground for interactig with the very diferent backgrounds of the Cartel agents. Some of the cartel highest directives are great collectionists and philantropists, and that seems to be a value greatly appreciated in the Cartel elites. Honesty, loyalty, dedication, cooperation, intelligence, and subtleness.Many subgroups included in the Cartel have very peculiar cultural perks, that are, however, not relevant to the executive funcions of the Hansa Cartel. The Cartel forces are not an army. Instead, they control an heterogeneus group of gang members, terrorist cells, paramilitar groups and spy and saboteur agents. Unoficially, the Cartel operates a large fleet, composed mainly of small fast vessels., utility and industrial civilian ships as well as some big cargo ships,EDIT: TYPOS,TYPOS EVERYWHERE


Seems fine to me outside the warp gate control; of which I mentioned earlier.

Just mind the internal consistency principle; other players can use similar tech if they choose to do so.

Other than that, semi-accepted; i'll wait until the warp gate control aspect is taken out. Uranus being used as a spot of activity is okay by me.

Name: The Navitas or simply Navitas Government: OligarchyThree Ruling Members; Rostov Vasieli, Gerrard Halcroix, Anil ChandaHistory: Following suit with the rest of the solar system, the Neptune colonies declared independence shortly after Mars. This declaration went largely unnoticed however due to the other conflicts closer to earth, leaving Neptune out of the loop. The Neptune colonies weren’t completely spared from the violence however. Large Naval battles were fought around the planets and large scale land campaigns were fought over control of its moon colonies. The conquest of Triton by Chinese forces left the colonies on that small moon obliterated and littered with destroyed military hardware. While the numerous naval battles around the ice giant itself have left hundreds of destroyed ship carcasses in orbit around the planet . Although the battles around the ice giant were very bloody the colonies in the planets atmosphere remained mostly intact and unscathed. This allowed for a new government to be adopted quickly and without much distraction. Three major national groups make up the majority of the colonies: The Russians, French and Indians. These three groups formed an oligarchy and have one representative from each national group that come together to debate laws and make policy. This relationship has been a friendly one, Russian and French paramilitary along side indian military troops defended indian installations on the triton and participated in naval battles above the planet. The combined military of Neptune was nearly decimated however and for defense the planet now relies on paramilitary groups to act as both the police and military for the new Navitas colonies.Society: Navitas is largely “sea-faring” community, the colonies floating in the atmosphere use ships for everyday use. Every family, man, woman and sometimes child have their own personal ships to get around in. There is a high level of travel everyday between the different structures making the colony as a whole extremely well-connected. Navitas citizens see each other as close friends and it is common to to know someone where ever you go in the colony. The three cultures have mixed almost seamlessly, music, cuisine and dance have been converted into a fusion of the three. Because of the unbreathable and downright hostile atmosphere, living is done in large ultra resistant structures. These structures are usually domed shape and sport many different radial smiler domes. More often then not, there are collections of domes connected via large bridges and “highways” for quick and easy travel. There are living domes floating in the high to mid troposphere to combat the pressure and temperatures from the planet below . Atmospheric domes use repulsor magnets that allow the dome to stay floating in place, while air intakes convert the constant gale force winds into energy through turbines. Due to the high hydrogen content in the atmosphere using combustion based propulsion on planet is strictly forbidden, citizens get around using sails an archaic but effective method. Because of the high winds sails can be used to attain blinding speeds and transfer people and goods around neptune very quickly. In the living domes in the high troposphere personal travel is hazardous because of the increased wind speed, only a very select few human pilots can maintain control of their crafts at this speed. Most of the piloting and navigation is done by computers and is human assisted, but a large number of personal craft are still completely human piloted and seen as sport craft. A number of orbital stations serve as trading hubs for bringing supplies down to the planet and point of entry for foreigners. Navigating the hazy expanses of neptune without the proper know how or navigation charts can be deadly. All foreign ships must dock at these stations and travel down to the planet by way of the space elevator, rental sails are available for a price once in atmosphere. Entertainment: Sport is an important part of Navitas culture, sport is the only thing that Navitas citizens come to odds with. Sailing, Football ( Soccer), Basketball, Baseball……most of the earth based sports have been retained in Navitas. Betting is common and each living dome usually has its own sports team. There are also clubs and bars all over the different living domes.Technology: Blue Water Propulsion and Ballistics The company was founded on the Neptune colonies and specializes in advanced propulsion and weapon systems, because of the need for non-combustion propulsion.Magnetoplasmadynamic thrusters: is a form of electrically powered spacecraft propulsion which uses the Lorentz force, the force on a charged particle by an electromagnetic field to generate thrust.

Magnetic Acceleration weapons: Using causeless tungsten rounds, rounds are magnetically propelled at blinding speeds, aiming more for penetration and stopping power. This method requires no combustion, rounds are electrically propelled with minimal heat gain. Repulsor Magnets: These are constantly in a state of research, due to the need for a more energy efficient method to keep living domes in the air. The repusor uses a polarity opposite to the planets magnetic field to keep the domes in the air.Military: Due to the lack of a colony wide military force, the government has allowed paramilitary groups to become both the police force and military for Navitas. The groups must adhere to stringent conditions and regulations before being recognized as a paramilitary group. These regulations are in place so that one group does not try and overthrow the government through force ( Although, what citizen of Navitas would want to do that?). Each group trains and ultimately funds itself and members, as a result each paramilitary organization has a different standard of training. These groups do receive hardware and some funding from the government but are mostly self contained.Notable Paramilitary groups:Navitas Defense force ( Police trained)Second Sons ( regulars)Abakumov and Gupta Special Solutions Group (Specialty Trained shock force)Navy: Usually re-purposed civilian ships fitted with weapons ( Auto-cannons, Missiles, large caliber cannons). The Navy consists of privateer vessels of varying classes, any civilian captain who wishes to serve is given his pick of weapons for his vessel.

A faction on a gas giant- who would've expected that?

Accepted; however this means now that repulser magnets can be used by other players on other gas giants; but they must have gravity similar to earth's in order to work right.

This is just my initial thing. The history still feels kinda bad to me, I'm probably going to re-write it at some point but the gist of it will remain the same. I'm probably gonna go more in-depth with some stuff but that's all TBD. I'll fluff out the government some more in its own log post. But its late, I'm tired, here goes nothin. ////////Name: Vesta Free State///////Subject: Faction//////Location:Vesta and Pallas Family Asteroids, several resource asteroids and space stations; Main Belt; Solar system/////Government: Limited Franchise Federal Republic////History: The Vesta Free State was originally a small group within the Belt State in the early days who were critical of the former's actions. Not wanting to follow the same path as the Belt State they hoped to break away while the Solar War was still young and avoid serious harm. Unfortunately the conflict escalated before they had a chance. By the time the dust settled the solar system was in shambles, including the Belt State. Finally seeing their chance they people of Vesta broke away from the Belt State and formed their own nation. Having come out surprisingly intact from the war Vesta found itself in a powerful position in the Belt and quickly absorbed the other asteroids in the Vesta family into its growing sphere of influence. Less than a decade later Peacekeepers from Vesta were fighting to restore order to the chaos riddled corridors of Pallas and in doing so forged a binding alliance between the second and third largest objects in the asteroid belt. Attempts to take Ceres, and with it control of the seat of power of the Belt State, were shut down when the Belt State recovered faster than expected. The Vesta Free State decided not to risk war with resources as thin as they were at the time and simply moved to consolidate its power base at home. Using its rich resource base the VFS quickly began rebuilding its infrastructure in order to assert its independence against would-be invaders.///Culture: The people of the Vesta Free State are a fiercely nationalistic and precision oriented people. They see themselves as genuine proof of the Belter ideal unlike the Belt State who they have come to consider Insular and foolish; too busy plotting revenge against Mars to truly thrive on their own and reach prosperity. They do not find mars to be truly to blame for the chaos in the belt anymore than fire is responsible for burning down one's house instead of the person who started the fire. They instead view what they consider "the old order" to be responsible for the chaos of the Solar War and have great disdain for those remnants of the former power blocks: Belt State and Venus included. They have managed to retain the obsessive attention to detail that kept early colonists alive in an environment where minor oversights killed. The VFS also has a pronounced futurist bent, always seeking the bleeding edge in efforts to bring about true prosperity. It is a common practice among Vesta citizens to alter their children's genome in the womb to get certain desired traits. While this is a widespread phenomena its not a societal requirement nor is it particularly encouraged.//Military:The military of the Vesta Free State is primarily based around its strong fleet which is essential to defending the wide area of the asteroid belt from invaders or privateers seeking to muscle in on VFS holdings. Being a predominantly space based power their ground forces are not very extensive and lack much in the way of indirect fire artillery or heavy armor. Even with artificial spin the gravity on Vesta and Pallas are lower than that of earth and many other worlds, to account for this most of their forces make use of powered armor to lower the strain on the soldier. The Military of the VFS Is divided between Vesta Fleet Command which oversees the spaceborne units of the military, and Vesta Fleet Strike which covers all ground based operations.


A break way state of the belt state. Belt state ain't going to like this one.

I suspect there probably has been some unpleasant conflicts in the intervening time.

Accepted as I feel the military and culture gave good info on the technology.
