[CHAR] Final Stations (Sci-fi Nation RP)

[scifidude47]

Does your group have a name? If so, what is it?: Agricoli Terra

What sort of government would your group lead towards? (Feel free to describe in detail): Not necessarily a government, as they don't desire any REAL power, they tend to have an attitude of "help when you can, but help yourself first." They tend to solve debates by popular vote.

Does your group have what most would consider a leader? If so, what is their name?: Garret Myers, he founded the Agricoli Terra company, and built the station originally as a small farm for interplanetary travelers to purchase food and other materials.

Does your group prefer peace over conflict?: Yes. They tend to only fight if it's to defend their crops from being stolen.

What is the general background of your station's inhabitants? Soldiers? Scientists? Farmers? Get creative!: Farmers, with a few scientists studying "Astro-Botany."

Does your group believe in benefiting the greater good or looking out for oneself?: Looking out for oneself first, then helping others if you can.

What area of space-survival does your station specify in? (Choose between Agricultural, Technological, Industrial, Military, or Exploration): Agricultural.

Did anyone in your station bring any items of interest? (This doesn't include normal rations, clothing, or tools. This is for items that you may not normally find on your average space-station; such as an orbital cannon, defunct cloning facility, or samples of The Crawl. Do your best not to make it too overpowered. For example; you can have an orbital cannon, but it either doesn't have ammo or is broken.): Garret Myers carries with him the only firearm in his station; a semi-automatic pistol with twelve bullets. Beyond that, his station mostly contains different kinds of seed samples, along with a variety of crops and animals. Before the station launched, they were able to install a very small aquacultural room on the station, but it only supports an average population of fish.

Group Name: Autocratic Union of Mars Nationalists (A.U.M.N)

Group Governmental Basis: Founded on the basic principles of fascism and republicanism, the A.U.M.N has formed a system of government that mixes the two ideologies. The group functions on a single goal: the advancement of those originating from the Mars colony, no matter the expense of others. Having felt oppressed and unrepresented by the governments on Earth and with a horrifying plague advancing, the colonists united in an attempt at carving out their own power in the galaxy's weakest moments. The foundation of the A.U.M.N can be traced to it's current leader, Sir Godwin D'Agincourte. Although there is no official documentation of rules and regulations, all authority rests in Godwin's hands and thus, his word is law. Seen as a supreme leader who saved the men and women of Mars from the destruction of the Crawl through the theft and reclamation of a government station, the Mars Nationalists offer their allegiance with little reluctance. The most loyal are given higher positions of power and authority over others, which has unfortunately created a political spectrum within itself where the appointed officials are sucked into a world of intrigue against one another in order to climb the ladder and gain D'Agincourte's favor. Godwin has no clear successor but it is assumed that the high officers underneath him will vie for dominance once the time comes.

Currently, previous officers of the law on the Mars colony are seen as the A.U.M.N's military force, training more civilians to handle weaponry and face combat should the need arise. Most of the colonists give them the utmost respect and a majority of these officers are given positions of power by Godwin, further reinforcing his rule with their access to equipment and their expertise.

Group Leader: Godwin D'Agincourte. Born and raised on the Mars colony, Godwin's future was seemingly limited. Although he had dreamed of a career in the arts and had sought a higher education, his family simply could not afford the luxury of sending him to Earth or another metropolitan planet. Instead, Godwin spent most of his life as a colony police officer, following in the foot steps of his father and keeping the population of mostly miners and agriculturists under control along with the rest of the Mars security forces. It wasn't until the Great Mine Collapse, where PlexiCo's largest mining facility collapsed and had trapped over one thousand workers, that Godwin became interested in politics. While the corporations of Earth ignored the pleas for help from it's workers, the nations of Terra were too caught up by red tape to do anything. The colony of Mars watched as time went by and one by one, the workers succumbed to starvation and fatigue.

Organizing a political union of workers shortly after, Godwin worked hard at petitioning the Earth governments to grant the Mars colony independence from it's corporate contracts. The union was unsuccessful in almost all of it's attempts for years to come and the population of the red planet started to become restless as their plight was continuously ignored by those in power. Secession Day, a holiday currently celebrated by the A.U.M.N, was the day in which the workers of Mars and it's new politicians had come to the conclusion that they were a nation in their own right, and could no longer depend on others for political freedom. Deciding to strike out on their own, the Autocratic Union of Mars Nationalists was formed and officially seceded from the nations and governments that laid claim to the planet, and ignored all previous obligations and contracts to the corporations which employed and sponsored them.

Although large portions of the population disagreed with this rising movement, the A.U.M.N held various positions of power on Mars and cut those who refused to align themselves off from what ever they had originally belonged to. Despite the fact that the A.U.M.N was headed by Godwin at the time, he was mostly seen as a figurehead and adviser at the most, representing the spirit of those in the Martian plight. It wasn't until the Crawl began to tear it's way toward Mars that Godwin became something more, when he organized the raid and capture of a passing space station that belonged to the New Italian Government of Earth. Executing most of it's inhabitants, the colonists who had allied themselves with the A.U.M.N took over the station and escaped certain death, taking their families with them, and abandoning those who didn't pledge their loyalty to the cause.

Prefers peace or conflict?: The A.U.M.N's interest are of the highest priority and thus if their success depends on taking materials, supplies, or even entire stations, the extremely loyal population is willing to fight and die for the benefit their brothers, sisters, and leader, should the command be given. However, Godwin D'Agincourte is entirely willing to cooperate with other stations as long as his people benefit the most out of what ever deal is made.

Population Background: Although a majority of the station's inhabitants were simply colonist miners and farmers, a lower percentage were security forces and police officers with official training and equipment access. Seeing the possibility of rising hostility from the last survivors of Humanity, Godwin has ordered that this impromptu military force start regulating and structuring itself whilst also training other colonists for the inevitability of station based warfare.

The few Italians on board who were not executed are regarded as sub human among the A.U.M.N and are only left alive due to the interest in their knowledge. These people include the Head of Security, the Captain, Navigator, Plant Manager, and Head of Archives, along with a small number of factory workers to be used as expendable leverage. It is assumed that these men and women would betray the A.U.M.N at the drop of a hat, considering that they are prisoners. There is no doubt that they will be executed once they are no longer useful.

Greater good or self benefit?: The A.U.M.N is entirely self beneficiary.

Station's Focus: The station that the A.U.M.N inhabits was stolen from the New Italian Government of Earth. The station itself was seemingly created to serve the purpose of the military at an industrial level, the New Italians likely aiming to mass produce weaponry to fight the Crawl. The station mostly consists of factory levels, machinery, and assembly plants. Most of this is rendered useless as there are no materials on board the station. However, there are also two blueprint rooms which contain the schematics and information on how to make weaponry and armor from the Italians, a mess hall and crews' quarters for the previous occupants, and a very small armory for the previous security staff.

Items of Interest: Aside from the factory station itself, the current occupants brought with them a few things which could give them the upper hand if need be. The entire police force, consisting of thirty five men among the few hundred colonists, are each equipped with their own rifle and sidearm along with ammunition for both. However, they also brought enough sidearms to arm twenty more men and enough ammunition to last two firefights or so if all fifty five combatants are in battle.

[Catchphrase]

Group Name: Epsilon Robotics and Security

Group Government: Works like a business, the Board of Directors make the decisions based off of what they think will get them enough resources.

Group Leader: The Board of Directors is made up of 5 people, Head of Security John Stone, Head Of R&D Stella Krieg, Head of Resource Management Alice Jones, Head of Business Henry Hall and Head of Diplomacy Erving Strand. They each work together to ensure they get the best deal out of everything.

Peace or Conflict?: Conflict mainly because it gets them more business.

Population Background: The company was mainly based on Earth, and supplied the militaries of Earth with weapons, robotic drones and defence turrets. When they left Earth, the employees and their families left. Mainly High ranking scientists, a few businessmen and a handful of guards.

Greater Good or Self Benefit: A bit of both, they'll protect others, but only if they pay them.

Station Survival Tactics: Focuses on Industrial

Items of Interest: The ten guards each have riot armour, riot shields and batons. It has 2 turrets at the main entrance, each with semi auto guns with 10 bullets each. There is also a half tonne of raw metallic ore in storage.

Sounds fine, Catchphrase. Adding.

[gowia]

Does your group have a name? If so, what is it?: The Guild of Enlightened Intellectuals (The GEI)

What sort of government would your group lead towards? (Feel free to describe in detail): The government of the GEI is cell based oligarchy. There is a 'Committee' of 5 cells. This is the 5 largest cells in the GEI. The Committee then votes on actions that will affect the GEI, however each cell deals with the sectors and people it controls personally away from the prying eyes of government regulation. People always artificially created in the GEI, and are referred to as drones, however to maintain genetic diversity DNA is taken from from people whom have the furthest chance of any relation to one another. Once a Drone matures it is assigned to one of the two sectors. The first is the Theory Branch; where the hyper intelligence of the Drones is put towards developing new technology. Then the Service Branch; here drones work to make the station habitable. Producing enough food to live as well as maintaining the station and it's technology. Before put through an accelerated education process according to the tasks the Drone will be undertaking. After being assigned and educated, Drones are then courted by the different cells. Cells are unions of Drones that work to the betterment of their own Drones and barter using the technology their members create to try and give their own cell members the best lifestyle within the GEI. The five largest cells are 'Omega', 'Beta', 'Zeta', 'Foxtrot' and 'Romeo'.

Does your group have what most would consider a leader? If so, what is their name?: The current Committee members are Drone O-124, Drone B-111, Drone Z-8, Drone F-1 and Drone R-39

Does your group prefer peace over conflict?: Peace

What is the general background of your station's inhabitants? Soldiers? Scientists? Farmers? Get creative!: Scientists for the most part, but with a small contingent in existence to allow the scientists to work without needs.

Does your group believe in benefiting the greater good or looking out for oneself?: They look out for oneself.

What area of space-survival does your station specify in? (Choose between Agricultural, Technological, Industrial, Military, or Exploration): Technology

Did anyone in your station bring any items of interest?: The GEI has secured samples of the Crawl hidden away in vaults without anyone elses knowledge. As well as a series of cloning apparatus that has been repurposed to be the tubes in which new Drones are grown.

[datadogie]

Does your group have a name? If so, what is it?: Wendell United Survivor Operations (WUSO)

What sort of government would your group lead towards? (Feel free to describe in detail): Democratic, but Hierarchical, With Talos mainly at the top, especially in combat times. In descending order:

Descending order structure

-Jennifer Valentino (Talos squad; squad leader) (Part of Talos)

-Talos squad; Team Leaders (Three) (Part of Talos). They specially report to Jennifer Valentino any urgent situations or current ongoings that may need her attention. Otherwise, they generally just monitor WUSO.

-Elected SPL (Survival Party Leader) (One) (Part of the WUSO Civil Council). One is voted for democratically between the current SPSes and Talos squad, with Talos squad having a veto card. The SPL manages the six SPSes, and is in charge of reporting ongoings to a Talos squad team leader. The order between the SPL and Talos squad infantrymen change in times of combat, with infantrymen having more infuince than SPLs. Once combat is over, SPLs are once again higher in the structure.

-Overseer (One) (Part of the WUSO Civil Council) (Part of Talos). The overseer is a selected member of the Talos squad infantrymen that takes part in the WUSO Civil Council, as part of a safety measure. In case anything is said in the council that is quite urgent, ommited or had been plain forgotten to say to a Talos teamleader by the SPL, he will report in. He also is there to ensure that there is no corruption, etc, forming in the WUSO Civil Council. Generally is a part of Talos Squad infantrymen, so therefore has no difference in rank in the hierarchical structure, and serves with them.

-Talos squad; Infantrymen (Twelve (Including overseer)) (Part of Talos). The order between the SPL and Talos squad infantrymen change in times of combat, with infantrymen having more infuince than SPLs. Once combat is over, SPLs are once again higher in the structure.

-Elected SPSes (Survival Party Subordinates) (Six) (Part of the WUSO Civil Council). They are voted by citizens of WUSO and generally are a small working council of six (plus the SPL, see above) and manage new things going on, and get to decide on/vote on new rules, etc.

-SPSLs (Survival Party Security Leaders) (Two) (Part of the WUSO Civil Council). The two highest ranking members of the small policing team of WUSO, attending to discuss security matters, etc.

-The next would come the citizens, and that's already clearly defined.

Does your group have what most would consider a leader? If so, what is their name?: Jennifer Valentino (The squad leader of WUSO squad Talos.) See above.

Does your group prefer peace over conflict?: Whilst generally everyone revolves around peace, Talos squad themselves are not entirely against war. If they know for sure that war is coming, they won't fight against the inevitable, even though those they are in charge of may.

What is the general background of your station's inhabitants? Soldiers? Scientists? Farmers? Get creative!:

Talos Squad

Talos squad is a special operations squad of the Wendell Army. They were in a Space station in orbit around the colony Wendell when the planet started to fall to the Crawl, and used docked ships essentially as big engines, moving the station around to pick up surviving ships that escaped from the planet surface. However immoral it was, they focused generally on specific groups of ships, picking up survivors that had skills that were needed, IE, Industrial works. Without maintining a good repair status, the ships would fall apart and everyone would die to lack of oxygen. Along with this, they did manage to pick up a few greenhouse ships, in order to sustain said oxygen, however it was mainly industrial, along with the odd pack that happened to end up attached to the station.

Citizens; Industrial

The vast majority of citizens on the station are industrial types; mining, welding, metalsmithing, etc. Almost 96% of them were picked up fleeing Wendell, however some were picked up off of astroids and adopted into WUSO. Generally, they follow the survival specialists, and in this case, that meant Talos squad.

WUSO Security forces

The WUSO security forces are a group of around twenty-five men and women run through a training course made up by Talos squad in security, and then just assigned to do security work. Seven of these men did not need training, as they were already security on the space station, so they serve as four corporals, two sergeants and a lieutenant (both sergeants are rotated, so one goes to a WUSO Civil Council meeting with the lieutenant, and then the next, and then the first again.) Generally, the whole security team is quite bad, save for the corporals, sergeants and lieutenant. Only the corporals, sergeants and the lieutenant are armed with pistols, the rest have batons and an incapacitant spray.

Does your group believe in benefiting the greater good or looking out for oneself?: Mixed feelings. Generally, the group wants to benefit everyone, however if needed to, Talos (who are ultimately the ruling group of WUSO) can simply just order a breakoff, despite what everyone else wants. Of course, this'll probably cause hate and upset to spread amongst those WUSO citizens wanting to stay and help others, however they all have to remember that really Talos squad had saved them from Wendell's falling. That, and each Talos member is a very well trained veteran with the only real weaponry on the station, who can probably take thirty untrained men with their fists alone before falling. The number goes higher with a knife, and higher with the guns added. Nobody wants to go up against that.

What area of space-survival does your station specify in? (Choose between Agricultural, Technological, Industrial, Military, or Exploration): Industrial, however Talos squad adds a lot of military (though few numbers) into that. If they set up a proper training course for people to stand up and be part of some sort of WUSO military, they'd probably be well trained and strong men and women. Unfortunately, they don't have the proper equipment to do that, and they wouldn't want to anyways.

Did anyone in your station bring any items of interest?: One major thing brought along was Talos squad and their weapons/equipment. Other than that, the only real item of significance brought along was a RAD, a nuclear bomb that can be remote detonated or set on a timer. However, currently, Talos (who have possession of the device) have had no place to actually use it, so they just store it.

You're good!

Now that we have 5, I'm just gonna wait for a little while longer to see if we get another member. If not, we're starting and the RP will be closed to future applications.
