[OOC] Faction:Martian Front (The Luna Wars Were a Thing)

[Rhymer]

Trying to wait for the other guys to post IC before posting some more.

[ArenaSnow]

I think, along with RP'ing the new horizon order, I'll try to integrate the situation in Elysium with one of the company's offices.

[ArenaSnow]

@Legion02, I updated my CS so I am wondering, which type of exosuit are you ordering? There's normal ones, combat ones, heavy combat ones now...

[Inlaa]

I'll be posting a "the next morning" type of thing very soon that... really isn't me taking any actions. I'm waiting to take actions until after more people post, yeah. Just introducing characters / concepts / fluff.

[ArenaSnow]

I decided to add another extra information section; manpower, with the amount of people available for each type of thing for each location/reserves. The number will go down based on random desertions to anti-government rebellions and casualties, and it might go up if there is something that can cause that (ie, deals for people, refugees seeking work, etc). It's a weakness for the company, so unless something special happens the number will go down. Note that not all men for each section are actually being used.

That said, I didn't bother to count them up, I think it amounts to the lower thousands.

[Legion02]

@ArenaSnow The heaviest you got. Should have detailed that, sorry.

Tullheart Prosthetics and Technology-TPT Corp

Faction Type: Large Corporate Entity

Tullheart Prosthetics and Technology had an humble beginning in the early days of Mars. Work accidents, vacuum exposure, and several disabilities caused by mild cerebral hypoxia led to high demands in Medical and prosthetic technologies. The costs for such treatments were just above the pay-grade of most Mars colonists. David Tullheart founder, was an Researcher/inventor who striked out on his own, after his crude, simple, yet effective designs were deemed to "inhuman" to be marketed properly to the populace. He took out a large loan, after receiving an contract from an Elysium hospice for wounded colonists. The alternative, low cost, and durable nature of the prosthetics was well admired by customers, and orders sky rocketed. Thus TPT was born from an great profit margin in the first 8 years of entrepreneurship.
In most recent years TPT has dived into the AI, and Robotics markets with great success.

Leadership

Hider

CEO-Salandra Tullheart

Hider

Salandra Tullheart is purported to be the last member of her family, a series of serial killings wiped out her family of 4 excluding herself. She is young, impatient, and brilliant. Her fiery ambition to rebuild and consolidate has inspired the investors to help revitalize the Corporation.

Head of Security-Anderson Vanhorn

Hider

Heavily invested with prosthetics after a security incident nearly lead to his death. Anderson has been the most recent HoS for the last 5 years. He has also been responsible for the most recent build-up in Security forces and training.

Head of Engineering-Greg Thasslethain

Hider

Greg has been an hard working well trusted employee of TPT for years, 15 to be exact. He keeps TPT corp working, regardless of time or day. His specializations mainly lay in vacuum repair management. The planet side workload is usually managed by his employees

Special Operation Unit Leader-Kailie Sojurn

Hider

A former Skyguard Soldier, Kailie is well versed in both Vacuum and planet-side operations. She is the tip of the spear for TPT's security forces.

Orthodoxy

Hider

A diverse expansive corporation with intermediate amounts of internal intrigue.
Over the years TPT has been creating a web of influence rather than using raw power as an bargaining chip.

They have a weaker standing "military" than other factions since their focus has never had to be outright war with other factions. However in recent years Security has been beefed up majorly so. To the point of it being practically a small army.

Several incidents have led to the deaths of some Management and almost the entire Tullheart family(The CEO's, founders, and proprietors).

The current goals of TPT is diplomacy, stability, and expansion.

Military

Hider

Primary

Hider

Security Officer- Equipped with a nonlethal hypodermic needle pistol/rifle. Basic ballistic armor, and an Squad communications head set. These men and women aren't meant for lethal wars and advanced squad tactics. They "hold down" the fort per say until the heavy guns arrive.

Secondary

Hider

To be updated

Special

Hider

-Diamond Dogs
A recent experimental military product from RnD, these hounds are entirely artificial robotics aptly named for their crystallic eyes and blue-hued metallic-alloys. Their speed is super-natural to say the least, a Diamond Dog can maintain 140Km/hr. They can also climb, hide and ambush with ease. Capable of holding several different weapon mounts Diamond dogs are dangerous, and versatile.

-Special operations unit
A recent installment to security SOU is compromised of the elite. Most notable this unit is know for hosting many soldiers with extreme and trans-human prosthetics and cybernetics.

Holdings

Hider

HQ/Corporate Tower/Compound is located at Elysium. The compound is also host to the RnD and Design Processes of TPT.

Holds enough shares in another player's Space Elevator to use it freely(Within reason/limits), also holds an airport at the space elevator's location, for equipment transfers from and to. Also hosts a high tech multipurpose foundry for the production of Prosthetics, implants, robots, AI.

Research Space Station near a debris field Deimos Orbit. Built for the research of multipurpose AI Navigational systems, and Drone stress testing(Includes combat drones owned by SkyGuard).

Mars Orbit communication satellites, mainly used for information and software communication between all Prostehtic implants on the planet. Also broadcasts TPT's Vid Channel. What most people don't know is that the satellites are also equipped with a series of sensors, they are if need be eyes in the sky.

Notes: For the holdings section, I do have some well I guess questionable/not set in stone holdings. For the space elevator shares thing, I'll PM a certain player about it, then update. About the Drone testing facility, its all civilian stress tests to military standards aka no live munitions/fireworks happen. Also not set in stone until GM approves it. Also plan to shove in pictures on this Faction sheet in the near future, and flesh out military of course.

But other than that everything seems solid to me. Can't wait to get into some action!

[Rhymer]

@cowboycommando Reviewing your sheet, looks good. Just format it properly (one color scheme please!) and post to Characters tab. Also note that any structures in space would be owned by Skyguard but could be in use by a private corp...especially if that corp was in the pocket of the Armada. Jump in on the RP whenever you want.

[ArenaSnow]

Early morning with a busy day, so I got something up quick to get the ball rolling at least.

[Legion02]

@Rhymer Question: it seems that almost all factions are heading for a very militaristic goal. So here's a proposal: New Horizon would find a new kind of ore. It's superconductive, making it excellent for fast processing and storage. So it would be used to start producing AI's and AI controlled drones, who would be networked together for increased efficiency. ((much like the Geth from Mass Effect 3)) I just wanted to ask if that would be OK with you. Because I don't want my corporation to be pulverized by terrorists and such.

[Rhymer]

@Legion02 If you want to start RPing a new AI branch that's fine. The ore can come from off-world though, you'll have to go through SKYGUARD channels to ok the import.

[Legion02]

It would be mined from Digsite Alpha and be concidered one of the riches of Mars. I already set it up a little with Dr. Maison who went to Digsite Alpha to examine the special ore they seemed to have found.

@Legion02

Ok. Proceed.

[Elitestpotato]

@ArenaSnow Any plans to address the ambush set for your convoy?

[ArenaSnow]

I'll be managing that along with other things on the same post, as well as updating numbers for market info. It's on my primary list of checks.

[Elitestpotato]

@ArenaSnow Ah okay. Just wondering.

[CowboyCommando]

Alright, I've posted an updated/expanded Faction sheet in characters, I hope to be posting today. Hope to have some cool collabs with you peeps in the future as well :D.

@CowboyCommando

Sheet looks great. Wondering what your CEOs backstory is...

[Inlaa]

First joint post made. We've been working on it over the last couple days via PM. Turned out pretty well.

This is how I'd like to do joint posts for things like action scenes and such if anyone ever wants to make similar posts with me in the future.

EDIT: Also, I am shamelessly using TSDC's header format. It's a really nice format.

@Inlaa

That's awesome. Adopted your heading format. I recommend we all do.
