Still a work in progress, but here is what I have thus far. [hider=The Rossyan Directive][b][u]Faction Name:[/u][/b] The Rossyan Directive [b][u]Profession:[/u][/b] Intellectual and artistic advancements Emblem/Banner: [b][u]Affiliation:(optional):[/u][/b] [b][u]Leadership:[/u][/b] The board of directors - a body of seven elected officials that heads the organization, they serve for six year terms, with an election of at least two of them occurring every other year. [b][u]Personnel of Importance(Optional):[/u][/b] [b][u]Military/Civilian Assets:[/u][/b] Numerous asteroid bases, habitable, military, and science satellites, moon colonies, and a combat capable fleet. [b][u]History:[/u][/b] Following the Aurolian-Concordant war, further research into AI, cybernetics, and other fields of scientific study were further limited by the Aurolian government. Chafing under these restrictions, a brilliant human scientist by the name of Rossyan decided to try and circumvent these laws by creating a research facility outside of Aurolian territory. His promises of greater freedom of scientific pursuits proved to be a strong draw to scientists, with many coming to what was becoming known as the Rossyan Institute. For a time Aurolia seemed to tolerate the Institute’s existence, but this all ended when Rossyan proclaimed that he had created an artificial intelligence far superior to any that had been created before. This proclamation led to the so-called “War with no Casualties.” The Aurolian military launched a devastating attack, killing most of the people at the Institute, Rossyan included. During the battle the Aurolian military suffered no casualties as the scientists had no weapons and the AI they had created were unwilling to harm any sentient being. Those few scientists who had survived fled to the asteroid belt where, over time, they slowly rebuilt. In the decades to come they would call themselves the Rossyan Directive: their goals to pursue greater intellectual and artistic heights while upholding Rossyan’s ethical codes as much as possible.
