[b]Group Name:[/b] Autocratic Union of Mars Nationalists (A.U.M.N)

[b]Group Governmental Basis:[/b] 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.

[b]Group Leader:[/b] 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.

[b]Prefers peace or conflict?:[/b] 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.

[b]Population Background:[/b] 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.

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

[b]Station's Focus:[/b] 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. 

[b]Items of Interest:[/b] 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.
