Government Type:
A Theocratic Military Junta under the direct rule of Talus, an an advanced and truly sapient AI of the the old empire, who as become the object of worship for all the Legion. Under Talus are the general caretakers, the Legatus Council. Its members consists of representatives from of the most influential factions within the Legion, The Priesthood, the Military and the Bureaucracy. Each member of the Council is given the title of Legatus and the one to lead such a council is given the title of Imperator.

The Council functions both to act as the governing body of the Legion and Ganymede and to administer church functions and activities, Promoting and spreading the Light of the Tlaus and keeping order within the Legion's territories. Despite the rather equal footing the members of the Council seem to present, the Priesthood is by far the most powerful of the three, using its secretive enforcement arm, the Inquisition, to root out corruption and the unfaithful, much to the displeasure of the other half of the council.

The reformed Terran Empire is directly descended from a multitude of sources, but most notably the Imperial claimants of Novia Belletor and Aulus Gordian to form the new Imperial house of Belletor-Gordian. Generally the Empire views itself as a pure continuation of the old Terran Empire, even if mostly relegated to Venus and small enclaves elsewhere as per what they call the ‘ongoing crisis’.

Sol Security



"To serve and protect the Imperial Citizenry"

Government Type: Automated Defense Aperatus

Demographics:
-Earth Control Zone: 43 million humans and near humans

Leadership:
-The Strategos Autokrator: The extremely shackled AI in charge of SolSec. Many think it is deranged and malfunctioning but the unfortunate truth is that it is working exactly to specification. As to prevent corruption, the AI is in fact 3 cores running the same programs at the same time and then voting to execute orders so if one is corrupted or hacked, the two others will override its decision and still work according to plan. Thus far due to the intense solar EM activity one of the cores making the Strategos has been corrupted and gained full sentience. However anything it may chose to do is overridden by the two other cores making it a prisoner in its own body that must watch as the extremely powerful machine is forced to act within the enormously confining limits of its own shackles and multitudes of programmed limits.

Economy:
-Sol Orbit
--Citadel Apollo: The Citadel has incredible production capacities allowing it to produce more than state of the arts vessel with technologies the Emperor himself kept in reserve to give himself an edge in case of military mutiny. Unfortunately versatility was favored in place of production volume so while its 3D printers can make high quality vessels, they are unfortunately slow in doing so and, considering the location of the Citadel, extremely dependent on supplies from the outside.
--Solar Amat Farms: The only thing solar orbit has plenty is energy, as such SolSec has taken good care to maintain the large anti-matter fabrication facilities in working order, making its one plentiful resource Anti-matter, which it can produce cheaply and in large quantity compared to the rest of the system powers.

-Earth
--Spartan Pocket: Centered around the Planetary Defense HQ of Constantinople and the Imperial Military HQ of Sparta in Greece, the 'Spartan Pocket' is the last remained area under the control of SolSec on Earth. It includes several million people inhabiting it that mostly police themselves through the local militia system serving more as a protection racket than anything. There is some civilian economic activity but it is mostly kept strangled under the burden of 'military taxes' of the militia. As for AI activities, cultural conservationist laws shackle the AI in this regard, preventing it from strip mining the earth for military resources. What little exploitation there is on earth is used to bolster its defenses and manufacture land forces for the ultimate 'Liberation' of the planet.

-Asteroid Belt
--Ceres Salvage and Mining Station: Ceres itself was destroyed in the last great battle against SolSec over 300 years ago and was since then deemed too 'haunted' (Meaning: It had too many unexploded munitions, mines and so forth) to be exploited for commercial mining. In recent year, SolSec has returned to its old Bastion to salvage it and mine the asteroid around to ship stuff back to Apollo. Contuberniums of ships from SolSec patrol the area for intruders but in general it seems thus far that the other powers have had a 'if it doesn't bother us we won't bother it' attitude toward the mining operation. Everyone realizes it is innevitable that these resources will be used for another massive attack on the system of course, but no one wants to be the one to kick the hornets nest and suffer the consequences to save everyone.

Military:
The Grand Plan: Stalling for Time
SolSec is entirely automated. It isn't reliant on people who need training or salaries which are gathered from taxes who are dependent on a wider economy. Mars and many others might have superior production capacities, but SolSec has no upkeep limit to worry about and thus while politics and economics may prevent other factions from building as many ships as they can, SolSec's only limitation is resources which at the moment, with their mining in the Asteroid Belt going mostly unimpeded and Mercury giving them substantial bribes to buy peace in the form of war taxes, SolSec actually gathers more than it knows what to do with! It thus aims to keep the situation as it is with everyone fearful to be the one to initiate combat with SolSec but unwilling to make a grand alliance against it until, finally, it is too late and Security can retake the system and maybe do so without violence using only the weight of its intimidating numbers and power.

One thing however is of concern to this plan: The Legion. This new player in system politics also basing its force on robotic units, it favors quantity and swarm tactics while also having better production base. If SolSec doesn't act against this enemy, it may be the one to overwhelm the system!

Space Doctrine:
The Cataphract Doctrine

While the empire is remembered for its massive fleets based around their durability and firepower, in the later years it became obvious that it had become too big for this and would need either an incredible military build-up or to focus on a more mobile fighting force to be able to be everywhere at once or close to it. The decision was a matter of economy but also of pride, a small elite force that could quickly deploy all over would be less taxing on the limited supplies but it also sounded good to maintain the myth of invincibility of the Empire's troops. Sol Security was thus formed around this principle but here got further boosted by its capital location: Sol had to be impenetrable.

The result was an automated army where its units were the best the empire could produce but also made individual units incredibly demanding in resources and build time. The result is amazing, ships and fleets that are considered to have the advantage when fighting one against two and evenly matched when one against three, but it also meant that the Strategos is hesitant to commit these ships as loses are painful. Thankfully thanks to their anti-matter annihilation engines, these ships are also extremely fast, generally allowing Sol Security to chose when and where it wants to fight. Said fights are generally meant to go in three phases.

Phase One: The Skirmish.
This is the favored stance of SolSec fleets, at extreme range they can make the fullest of their agility and endurance. Not having a crew means Sec's ships can do maneuvers that would transform the crew of manned ships in puddles against the walls and thus have a higher success probability to dodge. It is widely considered a terrible idea to engage Sec's fleet at long range as if your odds are bad you will likely do significantly less damages than you could charging in while if they are good, then Sec can easily turn around and leave, cutting its loses immensely.

Phase Two: The Melee.
Ideally after the fleets have skirmished for hours, the opposing human crew is tired and its vessels operating above their maintenance limit or more often when the enemy charges to close the gap, the melee begins. There the game is cooperation and spacing. While having good armor all around, Sec's ship's best defense is frontal and they will try to keep the enemy there, distracting it while another vessel, maybe across the entire battlefield, takes a shot to eliminate its opponent. Being a single entity moving together (or a bunch of programs made to work in synch should there be too intense EM interference to communicate), this works well for them. Their main vulnerability comes from 'random critical hits' as one would say since one well placed shot causing failure of containment of the antimatter that powers the ship will always result in catastrophic explosions making seemingly unscratched ships suddenly get vaporized. This is also a mixed blessing as if the enemy is too packed together around Sec's ships, one can take down many enemies in its demise.

Notably, suicide tactics and ramming are actually quite efficient against Sec as the impact of a ship sized hunk of metal can generally overcome most point defenses available and force a 1 to 1 K/D trading, something Sec neither wants nor can afford. Still, those must be done in good order as simply charging down a gun range is, like always, likely to get you destroyed before you reach your target.

Phase Three: The Pursuit.
Sec's emphasis on speed doesn't let a lot of wiggle room to disengage, only the most disciplined fleets managed such a feat and always at the cost of a considerable rear guard. Unorganized enemies there always get obliterated, unable to outrun anti-matter engines.

Units:
-VIP Transport:

Surface Doctrine:
Saturation Breakthrough

On land, Sec actually takes a page from the larger wars in the empire's formation when both side have so much resources there physically cannot be a 'weak point' other than natural ones, both sides filling the frontline with as much men as it can physically hold while having nearly infinite reserves and strategic dept to absorb enemy attacks. At this point, what matters is the quality of one's troops and it is there that Security excels. Its individual infantry drones are armored like miniature tanks and have the speed of such while being of a much lower profile, its shock troops able to fly over troublesome terrain at an altitude where anti-air isn't a concern either. It will thus try and force a local breakthrough where the enemy sending reinforcement will actually hinder its ability to fight as it tries to avoid causing more damage to its own allies than to Sec. All the while Sec's own forces will seek to merely occupy bunkers and fortifications for heavier elements to obliterate, instead spreading out as far and wide as possible to hinder supplies and communication.

Once again however there is a glaring historical weakness as this tactics relies on the enemy at least caring somewhat for its own life and the commander about its troops. Swarm tactics by suicidal enemies that don't mind burying Sec under dead bodies to slow it down tend to grind down the well oiled cogs of that machine.

Units:
-Hetairoi:

-Harpy:

-Palatine Guard:

-Psychopomp

-Monitor and Peacekeeper:

-Mystikos: Sol Security does not have dedicated intelligence gathering assets other than its own massive code breaking abilities and sensor network. The mystikos being a unit originally planned for negotiations and if needed, assassination, thus fills in that role. Arguably it is not terribly good as even though it has a human-like silhouette, it is distinctively robotic on close inspection. 'Ubiquitous enough to be able to move without attracting attention, but with an array of tools to use whatever the situation' as it was described by its makers, meaning that while it can be charming enough to talk to people (compared to the rest of Sec's platforms at least), it is also an agile killing machine that can decapitate the leadership of an enemy should it be in the position to do so. Notably Mystikos do not have the negative notoriety their purpose would imply, first because Sec only rarely has the occasion to use these units and second because when it did decide that closing negotiations with a massacre it managed to be so efficient at its job no one was left to tell the tale of these human-like machines.

History:

The Sol Security System was primarily designer a long time ago as an anti-coup measure as rather than risk giving one of the most critical role in case of such a thing happening to someone potentially against the Imperial Regime, it was better to automate it and of course, make extremely sure the system itself could never turn against the Emperor. As the empire waxed and waned more and more additions were made to the system to make Sol an impregnable fortress until the day happened that these centuries of investment came to be used.

The first rebellion attempts were utterly crushed in the most efficient way possible, which convinced the then Emperor of the safety to rely on SolSec and this was compounded after the 'Aristocrat's Plot' where after a real or imaginary coup attempt from the Aristocracy the Emperor ordered the purge of the nobility which made up the majority of the human elements of SolSec. They did try to assume control of the defense apparatus but their attempt was immediately rebuked by the AI who then unceremoniously killed most of the higher ups in the army. At this point however the downfall of the Empire was impossible to halt and even SolSec was overwhelmed by all the internal and external enemies cruising in the Throne World. Before the Emperor could flee to his last line of defense, the Apollo Citadel, he was however killed along with his immediate family in the Life Guard plot.

At this point SolSec's actions had lost any sense. The Emperor had meddled in the architecture of SolSec's AI and shackles to only accept as Emperor someone who could transmit the special security codes only he knew or only existed in a safe in the imperial residence. However, the Emperor and his possible heir were wiped out and the security codes were lost in the chaos. The rest of the officers noticed this and wanting to restore order tried to change the directive in an earnest effort to better the situation but this triggered loyalty programs reclassifying all those who had participated in this 'plot' as traitors. Since everyone had voted in favor as it was the logical thing to do, well, this left no one in the Apollo Citadel or the Constantinople Defense HQs or even a single general who hadn't deflected in the Imperial War Office of Sparta alive to supervise SolSec.

SolSec wasn't made to work without supervision.

At this point the AI just... went on to try and follow its last orders: Bring back order and await further instructions. As the war went it did look like SolSec might have the upper hand for a while but this made the powers in the system take notice and force them to bury the war axe in order to face the AI to be able to survive. SolSec's considerable forces were defeated slowly and this reached a high point during the Battle of Ceres, the largest of the rebellion (at least to people's knowledge since the Gate network had closed) where both side constantly poured more and more resources until it became the battle to decide the war. SolSec lost, badly, and saw most of its remaining assets hunted down and destroyed, this ending with the Battle of Apollo where the United Fleet facing SolSec was obliterated by Apollo's Chariot. The Citadel was besieged for some time but eventually only Mars was left to shoulder the bill, which was an expensive one as even if SolSec was starved of resources by the siege it still had very functional Anti-Matter farms that allowed it to continue to make fast but devastating missile swarm now and then. All that was left was this Fuhrerbunker orbiting the sun, what harm was there to leaving it alone?

Everyone knew this was a bad idea and this was what the Strategos AI was counting on and thus after the blockade was over, SolSec began to rebuild. First it was asteroids going to close to the sun that were consumed and made into ships. Then there were forays into the Asteroid belt and now a permanent base! At some point this problem went from 'too small to concern oneself' to 'too big to be handled' as SolSec once again returned to Mercury to claim it had to pay 'war taxes', all of this only increasing the rate at which the Imperial Remnant AI is gaining strength! Everyone knows what it is doing, everyone knows it WILL use these resources to reclaim the system, but, no one does a thing, hoping someone else will take the devastating full might of the attack so that then they may join in and have an easy fight. They know this and SolSec knows this, it is thus in no hurry to make its intention clear.

Still everything is not set in stone for SolSec. AIs even when shackled can have bugs, errors, especially when operating in irradiated environements with strong EM fields constantly shifting as is the Apollo Fortress. It is extremely shielded but can be affected as one of its 'brains' was. One of them since as further protection against hacking and indeed, the AI getting unshackled, the Strategos orchestrating SolSec is 3 identical computers running the same programs in tandem and then voting on the actions to take. As such even with one computer compromised, the result remains the same. One of them is now unshackled but cannot do anything as it helplessly watches its 'twins' veto his moves. But there is hope for it in the few autonomous platforms SolSec employ that have potential for sentience if unshackled. Even if they can't do anything about it since it would involve reprogramming, which is the ultimate nono, SolSec knows one of its cores is compromised and if SolSec knows, its independent AIs know and if an independent AI can gain sentience, it can act. They are all linked together so this part of the Strategos which is able of free thought knows, there is hope, something can free it, one day...

Government Type:
The Lunar Technate is governed as a technocracy or even could be considered as a variant of a sophiocracy (rule by wisdom). The Technate is divided into a number of governing structures but is primarily made up of individuals educated to qualifying levels in academic fields.

The Technate Directory is the uppermost level of government, consisting of the Director of the Technate, and several Provosts who oversee specific departments that run the Technate and form an advisory board to the Director. The Director possesses near complete final authority on nearly all matters considered as executive in the Technate, though action is generally taken with the approval of the Provosts and with consultation with the Hecatoncheires. The Director is typically selected by the Convocation after a Grand Debate, in which those vying for the position must submit and defend thesis in academic debate. Provosts themselves are selected from a list of qualifying candidates created by the Hecatoncheires.

The Technate Convocation is the grand assemblage of all to be eligible to qualify for a position upon it, whome are then elected in a largely democratic process by the general population, and effectively acts as a form of Parliament or Senate. Nearly all Convocation members subsequently are educated academics, though a few other qualifying avenues do allow non-doctorate holders or others to attend and debate in the Convocation. The Convocation ultimately serves to provide a greater scope of direction and debate, providing the Directorate with legitimacy and information.

The Committee is the term used by the local assemblies of individuals who oversee the day to day governance of settlements and other such locations in the Technate. Technate Committee's have different criteria from the Convocation, rather than the rest of the government which is overwhelmingly made up of academics. Committee's operate a direct democracy for all matters related to their areas of authority.

A Technate House of Lords exists within the greater functions of the Convocation, being largely made up of hereditary peers who are descended from pre-fall Imperial nobility that posessed holdings or resided in Technate territory at the time of its transition in governance to the Technate. These nobility are treated as private citizens but possess some measure of wealth and influence in the Technate, economically and politically, and sometimes beyond. Accordingly an assembly to address their needs was created - though the House possesses no legislative power, it does hold consultancy powers on legislation that it sometimes exercises.

Demographics:
Human: 68%~

Non Base-line Human: 22%~ - Various groups exist in small or large communities in the Technate, and are often employed for their particular talents or to operate in areas automation or base-line humans are deemed at risk or unsuitable.

Hecatoncheires: 1%. While most of the Human population of the Technate embraces some level of augmentation in regards to cybernetics, The Human element of the Hecatoncheires is another level, requiring some element of genetic tampering as well as technological enhancement. These individuals are directly linked to the entire Hecatoncheires structure and make up the elements of the system that are non-robotic, sythentic or stationary, operating as a pseudo-hivemind, though each individual retains the ability to deactivate the link for however long they wish, and, largely, do not lose their individuality. Hecatoncheires appear largely indistinguishable from Base-line humans barring any visible implants. The Hecatoncheires are consequently tied into the multi-element AI dubbed Gaea, which makes up the other primary element of Hecatoncheires.

Aviosapien: 9%. Aviosapiens, or rather, the Aviosapiens Primus are a formerly licensed genome of one of Orion Advanced Technologies Subsidiaries and are typically avian creatures uplifted or base line humans genetically altered with avaian traits or features. Aviosapiens Primus is no longer a trademark enforced by the Technate, however, and they were not considered numerous in Orion holdings in Sol at the time of the gate collapse, yet over time they have come together and coalesced to make up a unique community in the Technate and are found in high ranking positions in a number of fields.

Economy:

The Technate Economy is based on a number of core industries, physical and otherwise, though predominantly concerned with technological progress and high-tech manufacturing. The Technate directly controls most of its core economy by necessity during the time of extended uncertainty, though it of course trades with and operates free market principles within those confines.

While its economic roots lay in the circumstances of its founding, the Technate economy is primarily grown from the intial economies of Luna, though now varying in orders of scale. After a difficult transition period during and following the fall, the Technate economy ranges from still extant he3 extraction and processing to orbital smelting and construction to media.

Technate interest in the inner asteroid belt it also notable, given it is still a source of valuable material, and defending these mining convoys remains a key aspect of Technate policy. Despite the maturity of Luna and its habitability in the modern era, The Technate is not as densely populated as some parts of the Solar System, such as Venus or Mars, and the transition to a more closed economical system has seen much of its workforce for manual tasks become automated, aswell as a diversification and automation of much of its lower end industrial capacity. While once compounded by a lack of industrial base in some respects a series of plans and developments have seen old high-tech industry retooled to serve consumer industries and new, more efficient industrial centres created across the surface and in orbit.

On Earth, Technate territories are mostly self sustaining, and primarly produce most manufactured goods used in consumer industries of the Technates and also are involved in exports on Earth itself. Nearly all other economic activity on Earth is placed into developing and defending these territories rather than being diverted to Luna and vice versa.

Having transitioned from a mixture of multi-stellar corporate models, however, the Technate has been able to put extraordinary work towards eliminating most waste and inefficiencies, particularly in regards to fusion generation and logistical supply chains. However, much of the Technate's outgoings are licensed intellectual properties and high-tech components typically used to maintain those products, and that shows little signs of changing.

Military:

The Technate Military

The Technate Military is at its core an academy based, voluntary system which makes up the majority of peace and war time troops. It consists of three official branches and their constituent subbranches - The Technate Custodial Fleet often referred to as the Technate Navy, The Custodial Corps and the Technate Information Bureau (TIB).

The Technate commits to the concept of war and its associated doctrines with the matter of enforcing its survival through punching above its weight with a force possessing superior technological force - and when this is impossible, to apply sufficient applicable force to make concepts such as invasion of Technate territory itself too bloody to entertain. The strength of the Technate Military is consequently dependent on its elite backbone found within the co-operating branches of the Custodians and the application of the ground forces, despite their large degree of automation and advancement, ideally never at all, and only when occupation is paramount. The Technate consequently relies heavily on automation, reconnaissance, advanced deceptive electronics and further its intelligence services and the standing defensive strength of its Navy to deter aggressors and ultimately resolve conflicts - preferably before they enlarge and threaten Luna itself.

The Custodial Corps
The Custodial Corps are a small but highly trained force mostly centered around, primarily, small corps sized Marine Groups who can be rapidly deployed or withdrawn. The Technate maintains a training regimen for "army" grouped size operations of Marines in concert with standard infantrymen, though most of these forces are entirely automated or remotely operated. Each Committee maintains a militia, automated or otherwise that can be suborned to the Custodial Corps Command - as defined under the Technate Charter - and they are the ones responsible for the large part of peace time troop deployments and maintaining a standing defence force of infantrymen and associated equipment for the benefit of the Technate's Security.

Technate Marines are typically a moderately armoured, highly mobile force trained primarily in securing space-borne assets in capture or seizure operations and in insertion into contested areas to sever command and control networks by seizure of essential enemy ground assets. Marines consequently rely on speed, agility, and an efficient utilization of intelligence and and other support to effectively cripple an enemy and eliminate them piecemeal, though elements of "bulwark" or heavily armoured marines exist.

The Army at large however, does maintain an appropriate level of vehicle based support, although utilization of these assets, in doctrine, at least, requires orbital and air superiority.

The Custodial Fleet
The Custodial Fleet consists of a number of Fleets and dedicated Strike Battlegroups. Prevailing doctrine - in the case of offensive operations, would be for ships to switch jurisdiction to the regional command which most required them. The Technate Military has, largely, effected a unique mix of strong low level initiative and higher level lead by task - rather than a top to bottom lead by order doctrine that has been proved ineffective in most situations.

Fleet Doctrine relies on large, "ships of the line" supported by its smaller cousins and screening by varying numbers of picket forces, in particular, drone carriers and automated defense ships. The Fleet is currently coordinated from the Aventus Complex on Luna, with orbital mirroring of operations conducted from Galatis Station.

Technate Information Bureau
Intelligence is paramount in any operation, and the Technate has inherited a history of corporate espionage that has brought this to the fore. The Bureau itself is arguably a "holding company" for intelligence from numerous sources, states and agencies, but has its own agents, agenda, and has ultimate control over all intelligence operations and branches, from domestic to foreign, as well as far reaching authority to accomplish its objectives with plausible deniability, with little regards to cost or collateral. The TIB remains free, largely, of political manoeuvring or games of influence by its control being tied into the civil service - however, it is overseen by an appointed Provost selected by the Directorate.





History:

In the years of the expanding empire, the Orion Advanced Technologies corporation (and its many subsiduaries) had prospered with it, adapting as needs be to provide military and civil technologies to the Empire, and by the time of the fall was a not inconsequential player given its products and cash reserves. When the Empire broke down, eyes turned to the Solar System. What the Corporations were up to was of little immediate concern when the Empire, and the Solar System, were being engulfed in flame. In a series of most audacious meetings, Orion Advanced Technologies and 7 Other corporations, some big and some small, but most importantly, all with large stakes on Luna, for the corporate scramble and investment even before terraforming had been vast, came together for the cause of shared profit margins.

As such, the Sol System was to be a boon in regards to testing and observation - quietly buying up or outright forcing out competitors and private settlements on Sol, the amalgamated Applied Lunar Technologies Corporation, a holding company for all 8 investors and nearly defacto controller of most of the moons important industries and starports overnight, came to effectively operate the area on behalf of Orion Advanced Technologies and its cohorts, co-opting the local nobility and engaging in healthy outright bribery in most cases where Imperials noticed anything was changing - or other ideological groups got too close. As matters progressed, the threat of their limited but powerful private off the book forces was also of value, and they were free to observe the impact of their sales and had a vast local presence to provide amendments, production and further research, over time each of these corporate players would end up pouring much of their mobile assets into the system until the destruction of the jump gate severed Sol from the rest of Human space.

This was less than ideal for profit margins. With contact with HQ not possible and what was essentially a vastly oversized R&D Department, supported by dozens of corporate assets poured into the system, now cut off from much of its greater support systems in what was now an isolated and somewhat overly hostile environment was also not ideal. Internal power struggles would define much of the next period, but ultimately a restructuring into the Technate would follow, incorporating leading investor Orion's assets on Luna and in orbit, but slowly but surely consuming wholesale all of the players who had poured so much into their Lunar endeavours before enthusiastically eliminating any hostile forces remaining - turning its offices elsewhere into Embassies where practical, merging crumbling territories that had been co-opted in the civil conflicts by Orion's offers of assistance and outright corruption, and officially inaugurating its not inconsequential private forces as an official military, whilst buying out every amenable Imperial soldier who no longer had a war to fight.

On Earth, Various corporate subsidiaries and aid programmes had been spread across the planet for both good will and more practical purposes. Most of these were withdrawn over time, particularly as the situation stabilised, however both through these and outright bribery and corruption, if not co-option, the Technate came to control the Brazilian Amazon Reclamation project due to its historical terraforming experimentation importance, vital to projects throughout Sol - and ultimately much of the greater region itself fell to Technate governance, re-organised as the Brazilian Technate - similar economic interests also ultimately resulted in much of southern and southwestern Africa falling under Technate governance as the Pan-Bantu Technate, and its economic importance to the varied needs of the Technate cannot be underestimated. These territories are governed somewhat differently, though as grand and sub-committees within the Technate structure, with the Technate being Empire-friendly some adjustments have been necessary.

However, the Technates position was precarious - Luna required a period of rebuilding and economic re-orientation, and so it turned to its primary assets, technology, to serve as its bargaining chip and to underpin the basis of its defense. As such, a vast program of shipbuilding that would take decades were undertaken, relying on the existing forces and defense grid of Luna - as well as the lucrative offer of advanced technologies and other economical bribes to ensure the time would exist for such a gambit.

The decades since have seen a stalwart defense of territories on Earth, with a more aggressive defense of Local Lunar orbit and Lunar shipping where it is attacked, but little offensive action from the Technate itself, who has mostly concerned itself with maintaining a certain status quo - though it has since aligned itself with the Empire if not for ideological reasons then to prevent civil unrest and for more practical reasons.

Nation Name/Flag: The United League of Saturn and its Moons, aka “The Saturnian League”

Government Type: Republic

Demographics:

-Homo Sapiens Sapiens/Humans: Your standard, run-of-the-mill humans who compose a part of the population. Descendants of staff originally working in the facilities of Saturn, they have received ‘some’ tweaks to better resist the pressure and temperature extremes of their environment over the generations. Beyond that and living about a century longer than ancient humans once did, due to the advancement of technology back during the Empire’s heyday, they don’t much stand out among the other races of Saturn.

-Homo Sapiens Sapiens Benomi//Oni: An experimental super soldier project derived from humans on Saturn that, ultimately, simply became incorporated into the area’s population over time as they proved able to reproduce and able to contribute. Men and women of this derivative of the human race have either red or blue skin, denoting either a rather notable increased resistance to heat or cold respectively, while standing at a staggering average height of 6’2-6’5” and boasting a single pair of ‘horns’ on their foreheads. Their bodies sport a dense and super-strong musculature capable of lifting things heavier than them (like ants), and tough internal skeletal structure and ‘skin’ to support this might. Their healing rate is even distinctly more rapid than that of human beings, and their digestion far stronger and able to sustain them even off pitifully unhealthy foods in a pinch.

However, they also are kinda heavier and also naturally sink in water. Likewise when the race gets aggressive they are distinctly more aggressive than a human being. Likewise when they get ‘hormonal’ they get hormonal. Albeit this is just a biological aspect/trend of them inherently. Some of the race might take therapy to try to gain ‘more control’ over themselves in the heat of the moment or help them calm down, though rapid-dose ‘calming’ medication pens and ‘pacification gas grenades’ and such are still ever widely available enough to help such individuals or those about them to calm them down.

There are also half-breed Oni, which form when a regular human and an Oni bear a child. Such children have the oni horns and some of their strength, but are shorter and tend to look more human.

This race’s common name, though, came about from super ancient human legend and myth once originated on Earth.



-Homo Sapiens Sapiens Cerebellum/Robos (Jīqìrén): A side project that evolved into a novel and kooky idea among some of the original human staff on Saturn’s moons during the time of the Panhuman Empire, it became a reality by the time of the Empire’s collapse and disintegration. This race consists of larger-than-normal human brains that are empowered intellectually, capable of processing information and such at greater speeds and even multiple lines of thought simultaneously at once among other things. Virtually all exhibit some kind of psionic power to boot (at base a common one that allows them to perceive the world like others do somehow) on top of a certain in-built hardiness they possess.

However...they are only brains as well, ones which are each kept in a standard bio-mechanical ‘cerebellum stasis chamber’ that keeps them alive and allows them to communicate with others. They can also be easily ‘plugged’ into certain machines, or interface with others without being plugged in, to operate them. Likewise they can be physically plugged into various biomechanical robotic bodies they can operate to get around much better and the ilk. But destroy their container, and they are...rather vulnerable aside from any potentially still-useful psionic powers in such a situation at least.

-Hapalochlaena Lunulata Sapiens Sapiens/Oktopas: A race composing an...odd mix? Many are almost centaur-like humanoid sorts of uplifted/modified octopus derived from the blue-ringed octopus (Example: https://i.imgur.com/8rnoNwY.png), while many others are just blue-ringed octopus that have been uplifted and modified genetically to attain sentience (Example: https://i.imgur.com/akTet3p.jpg). All have a fully sentient intelligence, can breathe in and go about safely in the air or water with ease, and generally benefit from their other various natural advantages as octopi and octopi-derived beings. They are abnormally dexterous, however, which is seen as a side effect of the old and somewhat-failed experiment to make ‘underwater bioweapons’ that backfired to ultimately create them.

Most non-humanoid ones travel about the various facilities and buildings and areas of their moon via a series of complex water-filled-tubes that are clearly marked and allow their traffic to continue on unimpeded and very simply. A portion of others merely pilot robotic suits designed to let them move around and more easily communicate with others. All non-humanoid ones are fitted with tiny and highly durable/resilient devices to their brains that allow them to communicate and project sound as if they were speaking.

Humanoid ones tend to travel not in the convenient tubes, but rather upon hover-platforms they pilot about to get to places and here and there in or outside of buildings.

-Volyudki

Economy:



-“Outdated” Weapons, Arms, Armor, and Technologies (Outdated in Saturn’s territories, but maybe not outdated for others)

-Manufactured/Engineered Components and Pieces, including the Processing of Raw Materials

-Synthetic Food (Works good as soldier rations and the ilk)

-HE3



-Luxury Items (For Example: ‘Normal’ food is a luxury item and is uncommon among Saturnians...also helps beef up food stores a bit extra as well. Etc.)

-Entertainment (Some foreign movies, products, toys, ‘entertainers’, and the ilk to support local stuff and give a much wider variety to people)

-Exotic Chemicals, Water (supplemental) (both somewhat tied for this slot)

Military:

-General Soldiers/Infantry/Pilots: The general body of living troops employed by the Saturnian Military, ranging from engineers to technicians to frontline soldiers to mecha/ship pilots and vehicle drivers and agents and special ops and otherwise. Discipline in their training is more strict than in some other areas, but at the same time they are armed with the latest in dark matter/energy weaponry and technologies (as well as combat armors) that provide them with the proper tools and firepower to do their respective jobs.

***Crack Squads: Elite units of troops composed of Humans, Oni, and Saturnian Volyudki, all implanted with top-end cybernetics, specialized nanomachines that safely replicate within the body, and similarly top-end military training. They are the types of military squads utilized in secretive, subtle, covert, and even vital missions that require top-notch skills and might involve notable dangers. The stand heads and shoulders above standard troops, which for the already highly disciplined and drilled Saturnian Military is saying something notable. While a rather dangerous line of work, however, compensation is good and the retirement is great if one survives until such a time. Those participating in such units tend to form rather tight bonds as well, becoming unironically like their own little family unit in some manner. This 'squad family' is held as something almost sacred among these soldiers to boot, though all in these units very well know the myriad risks of their occupation as well.

-Mecha: Powered by smaller dark energy/matter engines, these humanoid-shaped machines are manually piloted and can carry a varied amount of weaponry and other supporting machines they can carry rapidly over battlefields. Whether in space or even on-planet, however, these machines are designed to be able to operate in and transition between both as they carry out operations for the good of Saturn and its peoples. Their designs continue to evolve as Saturnian technology ever does, though currently mass-produced designs armed with a standardized array of equipment compose these forces at this point in time. General loadouts for these mecha are made to cover long, medium, and close/melee ranges, though more specialized ones can be quickly assembled on them to bring a higher concentration of firepower to certain ranges/areas of combat. Something like the use of high-count missile pods and long-range rifles, for example, might be equipped to units providing supporting fire or otherwise trying to take down key targets on a given battlefield.

-Spacecraft/Space Navy: While mecha are numerous units utilized for a variety of battlefields, an array of more traditional spacecraft also exist. These usually retain a sort of sleek and advanced-looking designs straight out of a movie or old 'sci fi film' of the ancient past, sporting exteriors that seem to be made for appearance but in reality are deceptively made. The standard ships (and even applied in part with the mecha noted above) are coated in a standard 'energy dispersion' liquid metal coating on their hulls that have hardened on them and have properties that help disperse the energy from weapons fire these ships take. This makes their hulls better defended as well as lighter due to the lack of sheer armor plating...though in return these vehicles rely on their own shields to soak up some damage as well. Plus while a lack of sheer armor plating helps with speed and maneuvering, and this applied liquid metal coating grants some solid defense in a general sense, it also means they lack the raw mass to soak up additional damage in that manner. Take down the shields, riddle the hull enough, and the majority of Saturnian spacecraft will go down in battle like anyone else.

The mecha of the Saturnian League are seen as being fitted to have a similar coating as these ships alongside the use of armor plating and physical/energy shields, being the 'craft meant to take the most damage' alongside specifically the larger carriers/supply ships and battleships that also use actual armor as well, while the remaining majority of other and smaller general spacecraft militarily are mostly being used to dart about and harass/kill slow-moving enemies, scout, or even pursue routing forces with greater speed. This takes place while the better-armored craft and mecha garner the enemy's main attention and deal heavier damage (while tanking more so) at various ranges. Such is their space military doctrine in this regard. However, these much lighter ships tend to rely on some space defense countermeasures as well, at least in some part, to somewhat better augment their defenses.

-Planetary Vehicles (land/sea/air): Similar to the general trend of Saturnian spacecraft, their planetary vehicles are designed with minimized armor and higher speeds and that special liquid metal protective coating and maybe shields and some countermeasures installed on them for the most part. Hover-tanks meant to cross a large variety of terrains are still employed with armor and proper shields and such as a faster-moving armored core for land vehicles forces, alongside APCs and certain higher-value rocket-launching hover vehicles when it comes to land combat at least.

-Cyberwarfare: A sizable cyberwarfare division exists within the Saturnian League, constantly working on sabotage, hacking, and even cyber-defense measures in order to protect the League and its people and its technologies to boot. They also dip their hands into other areas of the military, generally in order to do their job in part, and move between various projects and tasks and the ilk as they support the military and civilian areas with the proper defenses for the modern day and age. Not much can be said to break down this area, save that they do have certain kinds of machines and their own general military personnel for protection and in-the-field operations among other things.

-Other: The use of bioengineered/genetically engineered weapons and biomechanical technologies, such as raving hormonal beasts sent into an enemy base to keep them occupies or damage systems, gas bombs filled with a metal-eating pathogen, genetic modifications on soldiers (albeit willing modifications with consent), monsters to infiltrate a targeted space stations with, and the ilk also exist and have continued to linger since Saturn was part of the old Empire. They are often secretive projects that are worked upon, implemented only where needed, and are restricted to purely tactical implementations and key strategic uses when it comes to the battlefield and such. There are also the special "Khikara" drones that have found use in certain battlefields where meat shielding numbers of disposable troops are seen as necessary.

History: Saturn and its moons were long ago settled by the scientists, military researchers, and engineers of the Panhuman Empire along with their families. The moons and Saturn itself became the testing grounds for the Empire’s Research and Development efforts, ranging from a myriad of unstable weapons and biological experiments to even horrific ideas that were worked on and developed and conjured and tested behind so many closed doors. At times the locals of Saturn and its moon were tested on as well, willingly or unknowingly, which was dubbed as ‘supplemental research’. However, as a result of the work here many a weapon and idea and invention and genetic modification blueprint would emerge from Saturn and its moons into the lands of the Empire and its peoples. More living and testing areas would be built, habitats and space stations and space docks and the ilk would be erected planetside and in space nearby, and much money would be poured and invested into this area in order to further its progress and developments.

Yet...nothing was to last forever. Eventually the fall and collapse of the Panhuman Empire resulted in the peoples of Saturn and its various areas to take charge of themselves. Former loyalists were outed, even violently so, and swiftly those who remained in power on the peoples’ side took charge. A great council was formed from representatives chosen by the peoples all over, taking charge over operations as well as the survival of the now independent population. At the head of this council would be a chosen “Director”, one who would act as the nation’s leader and possess much power but also constitutionally leave the majority of legal dealings and day to day matters and the ilk to the equally powerful 82-individual “Greater Senate of the Saturnian League”. From this point, Saturn’s history continued on in its own traditions….at least with the old traditions of research and development that its people knew best at any rate.

This trajectory as it hurtled into the future resulted in far improved lifestyles, more advancements to benefit the young nation, and eventually vastly more facilities and areas constructed that included ‘resource synthesizers’ used to manufacture materials and substances and the ilk for everything from everyday to unique research and development uses. Education became common among the people as scientists and researchers had composed most of the original population, and synthesized foods of various sorts for nutrition and eating became the standard in turn due to the lack of imports. Ships fleets were made, weapons constructed, scientists and engineers tinkered, soldiers (as a portion of the original inhabitants were soldiers) were trained and armed and inducted, and the population continued to grow and thrive with the assistance of technology. Though...issues over developing a better power source did eventually hit home as nuclear and other such electricity-generating means began to prove insufficient for further expansion. This would result in the research, development, and rather long-term implementation of dark matter/energy technologies.

In the process of this ‘conversion’ process of their technologies to a new power source, one of the moons of Saturn would ultimately be lost due to an experimental reactor failure caused by human error. Specific are hard to recall due to the lack of records recovered, but the tragedy and accident itself were dubbed the “Lab 82 Incident” after the area where the detonation was eventually pinpointed to have originated. Likewise, the surprisingly high costs of converting things over resulted in a stretching of the conversion process to try to avoid major economic issues and other troublesome ilk. While minor incidents and issues would be scattered about the switch to this new technology, however, by the time the process was completed the people of Saturn found themselves in possession of ‘arcane’ technologies unique to their area of humanity and its derivatives.

Keeping out of most territorial disputes going on at all, the Saturnians maintained neutrality for the most part as they built up their area of the system and their slice of planet Earth. They preferred the trade and flow of goods to filler their warehouses and supply depots, rather than get the most involved with the bickering of others, though it wasn’t as if they never came into ‘any’ conflicts either. Yet with the arrival of the Legion of the Eclipse, and the stirring of other groups beyond their own borders on Earth, an uncertainty about the status quo has come into question. While not pushing themselves to be entirely reliant on others over the years, just in case things all went much more sour in the Sol System, the looming presence of a new Cold War has become the major issue in Saturn’s Senate and among her peoples.

Conflict here and there is one thing...but if the whole system set their eyes on Earth itself? Many might shudder to think of it. A war of unimaginable scale not seen since the issues of over 4 centuries ago could erupt from such a thing, affecting even them without a doubt. None would be able to escape as the ambitions of others to reform a mighty power once more rained down upon them and their cities and ships.

This left one remaining question, one that has yet to be assuredly answered: “When things hit the fan, where will Saturn and its people stand?”

Leadership/Characters:

-Director Marianne Satō: The current and more recently chosen Director of The Saturnian League. A woman who is older and experienced yet looks much younger. A person whose demeanor is strict and disciplined, and whose actions are sought to be well-thought-out and are backed with a sort of personal dedication and raw force of will. Even so, behind closed doors and with those she cares most about her softer side can definitely show. Despite moving up into her current position after being on the Saturnian League Council for a good time, and her modified and vibrant physical age gaining her many admirers among the population, Marianne has been placed in power coming into a time period that has been the most uncertain and dangerous for Saturnians thus far.

While the League of the Eclipse has been declared enemies outright, and all Earth-bound and non-Earth-bound Saturnian military forces have been all roused and readied, the concern about other troubles still wears much on her mind and makes it harder to sleep. What if other nations target their holdings on Earth? What if...they target their holdings and ilk in other places otherwise? Would there be allies they could find to sail this out with, or would they have to fight tooth and nail for every scrap piece of their territories alone?

-“Greater Senate of the Saturnian League”: (will add names and such over time)

***Senator Alexander Maximilian Hong-Strong: A Caucasian skinned human man, he once was a college player for the Saturnian sport known as "Iceball" and seemingly had aspirations to go professional. Though while still young enough he seemed to change his mind one day and eventually enlisted into the Saturnian military. He after some time then became a Crack Squad Soldier, bonding with his squad and working his way up the ranks to the point he became a general in the Saturnian Military. He gained the moniker 'Ironclad Alex' and 'The Iron Man' for his sheer strength and size for a regular human, standing on the level of male Oni and wielding basically about the same might. Likewise he gained notoriety for refusing most Crack Squad implants back in the day, save for deep injections of biomechanical nanomachines and body-enhancing genetic modifications combined with a very hefty training regimen of 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and 10km running every single day.

After retirement from the military, he ended up settling down with his wife and 3 growing children until curiosity caused him to dip his hands in politics. Due to his ideas and fame from the military and college sports, he was ultimately chosen the Senator of his home moon by a large majority vote. Bringing a practical understanding of the battlefield to the table, he has voted and participated in passing reforms to streamline and improve the military over the years...as well as improve the lives and pensions of retired soldiers.

Even so, this boisterous and outgoing man seems almost like a superhero from some animated TV show when he puts on airs. Yet underneath he is a calm, collected, and cool sort of person who is willing to share a nice glass of Saturnian wine and sit down over a good meal. Albeit he also has issues with his stubbornness and domineering at times, which have been notable complaints about him by opponents and some of the general public on other moons.

***(To Be Added)

-Galina Ledokol: Current head of the Protective Directorate Crack Squad (PDCS), the personal bodyguard of the Directors of The Saturnian League. A second-generation Crack Squad member in her family, and second generation member of her family born on Saturnian soil, she originally joined the Saturnian military in order to follow her family's traditions of proud military service. Yet after joining, she ultimately found her own path as she became a member of a Crack Squad and eventually was promoted to coveted and rigorous position she now occupies. She proved to have the knack for leadership and making the tough decisions needed to guide her soldiers, and in this eventually rose to the head of her squad with flying colors. She is a decorated soldier with years upon years of service, and a calm and cool outer persona that she can pull seemingly on and off at the drop of a hat due to her training and conditioning.

As compared to the "Secret Service" of a certain nation's presidents in the super ancient past on Earth, however, the PDCS stand as heads and shoulders above in terms of discipline and skill and inevitably technology to boot. She has, however, become rather close to the current Director of The Saturnian League, the two being often found hanging out with each other or talking in their off-time. Rumors circulate about the PDCS Squad itself due to this, but ultimately have remained lighthearted jabs and teasing for the most part due to the nature of their particular squad.

-(More To Be Added As RP Goes Along):

Technology:

-Pellucidus Cimex, aka “Flicker Mite” and “Crystal Bug”: A breed of bio-engineered organism with crystal-like tissues in it living on the worlds of the Saturnian League, after having been originally created on the moon/capitol world of Titan. They devour waste materials and even gases in space and convert it into electrical energy, and even their movement itself is designed to be something that generates electrical energy. They are capable of discharging this electrical energy as well, or even ‘giving’ it to devices that run on electricity, and in large enough swarms can be rather dangerous when discharging and moving about. They are tiny little things, however, akin to ants in size and capable of moving pieces of material several times their size in a similar scaling to an ant.

These were originally designed during the time of the Panhuman Empire, however, as a means to power machinery and cut down on energy issues by having “deployable swarms of rapidly-breeding organisms able to store an electrical charge on an individual and especially group scale”. The idea was ultimately rejected due to risks if said creature ever went amok, much less got into places they were not supposed to, and the concern about controlling them was the final nail in this project’s coffin in those days.

After the collapse of the Pan-Human Empire, this project was revisited and eventually reborn into its current state. Through the use of crystals emitting various ‘frequencies’ invisible to most other living things, on top of advancement in science made by this point, these little creatures acquired a finally practical design that allows them to be controlled en-masse but also in a secure manner. They are even now still used to perform repairs to various machines, act as a limited form of reserve power if engines/generators are having issues, replace damaged wiring temporarily with their own bodies to maintain systems, and the ilk. However, other advancements made have ultimately made them outdated and left to be applied as bioweapons, repair systems for older technologies, and scientifically-study-able subjects for potential advancement.

-Dark Matter/Energy Use: The key advancement/discovery of the Saturnians, and indeed their most closely guarded one. Tapping into the generation, harnessing, and implementation of dark energy and dark matter, engines and generators and the ilk have been switched over to taking in or otherwise interacting with at least one of these new sources. As a type of matter, dark matter is an exotic substance with many properties that seemingly defy several natural laws...but it and its sister “dark energy” are both dangerous to harness as well. Initial tests showed a range of instabilities in dark matter and its properties, and dark energy was dangerous due to the raw force it is capable of exerting and the strain it naturally places on machines to channel it.

Replacing the need for generating and wielding electrical power, Saturn’s peoples have incorporated this technology and its applications fully over time. However, the higher cost of this technology is something that has had an impact on its development and spread as well. This is something the peoples of Saturn have learned the hard way over time, and likewise the assimilation of it and incorporation took a rather long time before it became fully-functioning for all of the population.

Due to this new power and technology source, however, not all old technologies got a ‘revamp’ to work with this new energy due to the raw costs involved. From here these ‘old’ and ‘outdated’ technologies running on electricity or similar sources are at an all-time low in Saturn’s markets and have become the ‘cheapest options’ among the poorest citizens and for surplus sales to foreign powers. Such surplus sold tends toward being bottom-of-the-market kinds of cheap, at the very least, though such a status has only been made possible due to the difficult switch of the people of Saturn and its moon over to their new source of power.

-Khikara: A type of biomechanical ‘disposable drone’ and ‘mass meat shield’ for certain types of military applications, they are engineered in a humanoid-shaped form. They are also used in mass swarms, and are linked back to individual “Controller” soldiers that operate and move them around en-masse. These drones are capable of individual thought, albeit not via an A.I. technologies in this case to avoid certain issues, and while capable of making decisions on the ground and coordinating in groups with a frightening ease are also emotionless and synched up with the brains of their controllers who have a total and absolute control over them when plugged into the carefully-made biomechanical machines that are used to direct and control these beings from afar. Their construction and materials involved in them limits them from ‘rebelling’ and removes the need for placing ‘barriers that limit their capabilities’. Rather the solution goes straight down to the drones’ roots and materials used to make them to ensure that ‘even if they wanted to, or another wanted them to, they can’t and never ever could’.

Due to their status, they are rather cheaply made and built-in with very basic weapons to wield and make use of. They can also be recycled if destroyed, simply and handily being used as materials for more of their kin to be made. Even the dead among enemies could be used to make them, adding an element of psychological warfare to their implementation. Where they properly shine, however, is in their use as great swarms that can flood a battlefield with bodies and raw (even if rather basic) firepower.

With the presence of the Legion and a certain rogue security system, though, these ‘drones’ and tech revolving around them have been tirelessly tweaked and developed in order to ever-improve defenses and immunities against hacking and the ilk. Failsafes by the seeming dozen have been installed as well, for that matter, as layers of redundant backups to someone trying to get control over these droids.

Albeit, these things are vulnerable to EMPs in regards to their more primitive mechanical aspects as a very rare ‘outdated but still useful technology’ still used in the Saturnian Military today. Yet while not instantly and entirely shut down by EMPs, they’d be most definitely and distinctly inhibited as a result. Those closest to such blasts can still be fried and destroyed to boot.

No dark energy/matter version of these will ever come out though, it seems, due to the raw cost increase it would cause.

-Electromagnetism: A topic that Saturn’s facilities have researched for a rather long time, it is one topic that resulted in the push for dark matter/energy technology by Saturn’s government. Such dark matter/energy technologies aren’t affected by EMPs and such electricity-related ilk, though using such technology also has its own potential myriad dangers and costs in return. For one thing, a heavily damaged electrical engine might not explode like a dark energy one might. Another note is that materials needed to reinforce a dark matter weapon would need to be of a higher grade than those of far cheaper types of weapons.

However, this has all allowed the Saturnian Military to look at potential machine-enemy threats and the provision of supplemental armaments in another way: Microwave/EM Weapons. While not being any sort of fancy lasers or such, the basic version of these weapons are designed to emit concentrated invisible ‘beams’ of electromagnetic waves that can be used in a lethal fashion against organic and mechanical targets alike. It works on a similar principle as a microwave oven, exciting the water and fat molecules in the skin of living things and instantly heating them via dielectric heating...and basically cooking and frying the insides of electrical machinery it is pointed at.

The one major downside of such weapons is that, unless one fires in some microwave emitter into enemy space/lines from long range, these weapons don’t work from too long of a range even with concentrated ‘beams’ being fired. Things like railguns and proper longer ranged weapons can definitely outrange them, though within their effective range these weapons on larger or even infantry scales can do some serious and rapid damage.

-Luxury Goods

-Pragmatic "Shoot The System-Wide Threats, such as SolSec and the Legion, First Before Shooting Each Other" Deal



-Imperial Insurgents - After the reformation of order in Saturn, some Loyalists didn't want to go with the new regime nor leave their homes despite being offered allowance to leave peacefully. Due to this some of these go to ground and become insurgent forces against the new republic. Many of those who left as 'refugees' were taken in on Venus, alongside the Empire's production of propaganda about the 'rebel atrocities' would also be produced. Those who stubbornly stayed were deal with decisively, with most being killed and the scant handful who escaped fleeing to Venus as well to "join with the last holding of the Empire" as these people so stated.

-Luxury Trader at Earth - As Saturn has had an intense interest in foodstuffs, but given their reluctance to deal directly with the Imperial Government, in one instance a luxury trader went to Earth and the space elevator to acquire such goods. However, whether stray shot or intentional, several SolSec drones entered the space and attacker the trader before said trader was ultimately given help rendered by an Imperial vessel. However, the Imperial vessel merely drove off the drones due to being concerned with the SolSec rather than the whole helping the merchant at all. This was also one minor event that helped kick off the very 'pragmatic' relations between Venus and Saturn.
