Nautrias: The only thriving planet within its Solar System’s habitable zone. The Hermitica Cluster it is attached to was discovered only 100 years ago by The Obsidian’s Hand, hiding in plain site from its not-so-distant Milky Way neighbor.

An exotic variety of aquatic life exists along its surface and subsurface layers. The few islands and small land masses that peak from its oceans aren’t populated by its natives, leaving them vacant for (very select few) off-worlders to colonize. The true beauty lies beneath. There are colorful reefs, creatures of all shapes and sizes, and a diverse community of sea dwellers thrive within a dynamic ecosystem.

Droquilian: These sentient rulers of Nautrias are characterized by a number of specific features like slick, scaly skin, webbed appendages, pointy ears, and gills along the side of their necks and cheeks. The royal caste are known to have smoother skin with softer cosmetics, a strong indicator of a sheltered life from the wild ocean.

Their history is a complicated one, rife with conflict among themselves, until other species emerged from the lower depths to challenge their supremacy. It wasn’t until the partnership formed with Obsidian’s Hand, did the Droquilian’s split into two rivaling factions:

-Puricons: While they honor old traditions above all, they mainly wish to secure their legacy as rulers of Nautrias. Zolfix leads this front and serves as a liaison between the puricons and Obsidian’s Hand. They believe in a fractured democracy, on that suits their comforts and needs above all else.

-Coalition: These droquilian are sympathizers of the other species in the Nautrias community. The Coalition was formed as a protest against the radical changes being made by Obsidian’s Hand. They demand a fair government, but most importantly, want the off-world corporation to leave their planet for good.

United Star Sector: The largest governing body in the cosmos, spanning over several charted galaxies, including the Milky Way. They enforce strict policies to regulate trade and maintain diplomatic negotiations for all USS-compliant species.

They’ve existed for as long as anyone can remember, founded by alien races that have since gone extinct. Their mission statement still burns bright, as the torchbearers of their work continue to light the way for peace and exploration.
High Command essentially functions as a large senate cabinet. Each member represents the main star clusters of charted space. Rear Admiral Gildeon Omarkei oversees the operations in Nautrias, and green lit The Trident force into action.

The Trident: Backed by Rear Admiral Gildeon Omarkei, this unconventional team of specialists are at the front lines to help liberate Nautrias from Obsidian’s Hand. They are not recognized as USS Officers, listed as peacekeeping volunteers under the droquilian coalition directive.

The Trident is nearing its second year of activity, bringing in a batch of new faces, new equipment, and new objectives.

Obsidian’s Hand: An alien corporation that’s existed before humanity’s first steps into FTL travel, established sometime during the early days of the United Space Sector. It’s rumored that Obsidian’s Hand contributed to Earth’s technological advancement that allowed them to colonize other planets. Their scope is boundless, amassing fleets of advanced ships to expand their industry across the galaxy.

Their board of representatives and CEO are classified as Synthoids, a species that achieved complete resonance with advanced technology. In the public eye, they exist as holograms that can transfer through the data stream of any Obsidian-owned piece of tech in seconds. Their onsite workforce executives are usually natives of whichever star system the company operations oversee. Zolfix, a droquilian puricon, is the co-executive for Obsidian's Hand operations on Nautrias, which is managed by by synthoid Urien Nakan.

Technology: Nautrias’ turbulent underwater environment can be a deadly arena for the uninitiated. With its strong planetary magnetosphere and dense atmospheric pressure, it can take off-worlders a full month in an acclimation chamber before they’re ready to go out into the wild. Minor gene therapy and musculoskeletal treatment is recommended if the off-worlder still can’t function after bracing the A-Chamber. Should their bodies reject, or cannot qualify for the second phase, then Tech Suits are usually issued. An off-worlder that needs a Tech Suit must have it on at all times. The exception for this of course would be the A-chamber, or a room that replicates the off-worlder’s home planet. All of these steps are usually carried out in orbit at the U.S.S. outposts’ medical facility.

Universal Translators: These are an optional privilege given via USS Medical & Research, but mandatory for all Trident members. It is a small device surgically implanted behind the ear, or wherever auditory sensory input is located on the person, allowing for real time translation. Standard USS dive suits come equipped with a more dated version of these devices that are riddled with translation errors.

Neural link: Is another optional privilege given by USS Medical & Research. This allows instant internet and communications browsing, and connects with the Universal Translator to keep its language database up-to-date.

Specialties:

Miniature drones: are a staple for recon, patching up ship and facility damage, and attacking/defending with precision.

Creature Taming: a select few have the ability to catch and train wild creatures of Nautrias to do their bidding, use various methods of brain wave tech, drones (that pulse electric shocks to keep them from lashing out), and general pet-bonding techniques.

Weapons: While laser and projectile-based weaponry can be used on topside and pressurized excursions, Sonic wave generated firearms are the preferred choice. This is especially the case on board dive vessels. Acoustic wave blasts specifically designed to hit their targets has a low risk of compromising vehicle instruments and pedestrian casualties.

Name:
>> Uruna

Age:
>> 21

Race:
>> Quirina of the Coalition

Appearance:


Profession:
>> Medic

Specialty:
>> Creature Taming

Equipment:
> High-tech laboratory kit that has a microscope and other tools you might see in a lab, as well as a special capsule that she can use to analyze the DNA or cellular structure of a specimen she wishes to study
> High-tech medical kit that has tools that allows Uruna to treat any kind of wounds on the spot and to check the vital signs of her patient
> Surgical tools (scalpels, forceps, medical gloves, syringes, threads and needles, and the like)

Personality:
>> Quiet yet bubbly, Uruna is a cheerful female Quirina that loves to look at the brighter side of things. Part of her showing a positive exterior is because of her training as a medic, that they should always show their patients positivity and hope to help alleviate their pain. She is very caring to others, often going out to make sure the needs are others are met first before hers. She works along well with people and is a very cooperative one at that, though she is quite shy and will often be nervous about making casual talk with others. Uruna found herself feeling peace when talking to creatures more than people like her.

Backstory:
>> Uruna grew up as a young girl who didn't know who her parents was. Based on the orphanage located in the Coalition Territory where she grew up in, they just found her by their door, crying as she was swaddled in kelp with her name etched on a pink shell. Uruna wasn't like the other girls her age; she was shy, nervous, and often alone. It seemed that she liked hanging out with creatures more instead of the other children. She didn't want to be taken by a random couple as she viewed the orphanage as her own home.

In time, she was seen having an aptitude in healing despite having no experience when she helped a fish to float upright when it had buoyancy troubles. When she was old enough, she was sent off to medical school to become a medic, as Uruna was very eager to help others despite her shyness.

Of course, she also knew of the Obisidian's Hand and how it had corrupted her beautiful world. Uruna can't understand how people could be so evil, greedy, and cruel as they continue to strip the resources off of her home planet along with hurting the creatures that inhabit it. She joins the Trident to help defend Nautrias from Obisidian's Hand and, hopefully, to find her parents too.

Miscellaneous:
>> Quirinae are jellyfish mermaids who, unlike regular jellyfishes, can control the millions of cells along their tentacles, letting anyone to touch them without fear of being shocked. They can control the cells to such an extent that the subtle voltages along their tentacles are useful in speeding up the healing process of a wound. The jelly-like membrane on their heads are useful from blocking blunt hits that could damage their head. Quirinae are also bio-luminescent, able to glow their bodies at will, and can even turn transparent to hide in plain sight. Quirinae belonging to the same family have the exact brightness of light and the exact shade of color they emit. Lastly, they have regenerative properties, allowing them to heal them torn membrane or a sliced tentacle back to its original form in just an hour, depending on the wound.

Age: 26
Race: Human


Profession: Enforcement Officer

Specialty: Redrix specializes in combat and peacekeeping, mostly for detainment and enforcement when things go awry. When off-duty, his tasks skew towards scouting and gathering intelligence, although much of his time is taken up by combat drills.

Equipment:
ABC-2 (Acoustics-Based Concussive pistol, used for detainment and peacekeeping)
LMR-132 (Laser marksman rifle, used for overworld lethal combat, cannot use until authorised)
DERCI (Personal recon drone, rarely used)
"Hannibal" combat suit (Underwater battle suit designed for boarding and defence against on-board small arms fire)
Reclaimed mini-music player (where did he even get this thing?)

Personality: Sarcastic and cynical, enough to come off as callous and uncaring about the spirit of Trident's mission. He is laidback and don't really take many things seriously. However, as much as he is careless about most other aspects of life, Redrix also despises the chain of command and corporate corruption from both the Obsidian Hand and Zenith Industries. As such, Redrix is very careful in practice and avoids collateral as much as possible - sometimes even refusing to fire weapons if there is too much risk involved. He sees this as a way to rebel against his superiors as he knows they cannot reprimand him within the boundaries of Trident. Redrix is otherwise enthusiastic for most missions and although he questions the effectiveness of the Trident initiative as he is a firm believer of bigger army diplomacy, but is happy to go along for the ride either way. He gets paid for a beach side vacation, test out weapons and screw over his devs either way - what could go wrong?

Backstory: A heavily genetically modified human designed for all-purpose combat and environmental adaptability, Redrix was born into testing weapons and fighting for Zenith Industries, an Earth-based combat weapons manufacturer and developer. Although Redrix was sent off to live in large cities and "live a normal life" due to ethics councils preventing more extensive tests on enhanced soldiers, Redrix had no delusions about his life being constantly under reins of Zenith. He was sent to Trident as a part of Zenith's "support for a noble cause", although it was more of an excuse to test out Zenith's new weapons systems. Redrix saw this as an excuse to pull as far away from Zenith as possible, and signed up the first chance he got.

Miscellaneous: Thanks to his extensively modified genetics and upbringing, he is taller and stronger than baseline humans, and more adaptable to extreme conditions. It also makes him feel more aggressive and tend to be more reckless in combat, an urge that he suppresses daily. Redrix is fond of old-school "retro-beat" type of music that existed early to mid 2000s. When off-duty, he can be seen listening to such tunes and collecting old tracks from his communications networks.
