Name: The Navitas or simply Navitas 
Government: Oligarchy
Three Ruling Members; Rostov Vasieli, Gerrard Halcroix, Anil Chanda

History: Following suit with the rest of the solar system, the Neptune colonies declared independence shortly after Mars. This declaration went largely unnoticed however due to the other conflicts closer to earth, leaving Neptune out of the loop. The Neptune colonies weren’t completely spared from the violence however. Large Naval battles were fought around the planets and large scale land campaigns were fought over control of its moon colonies. The conquest of Triton by Chinese forces left the colonies on that small moon obliterated and littered with destroyed military hardware. While the numerous naval battles around the ice giant itself have left hundreds of destroyed ship carcasses in orbit around the planet . Although the battles around the ice giant were very bloody the colonies in the planets atmosphere remained mostly intact and unscathed. This allowed for a new government to be adopted quickly and without much distraction. Three major national groups make up the majority of the colonies: The Russians, French and Indians. These three groups formed an oligarchy and have one representative from each national group that come together to debate laws and make policy. This relationship has been a friendly one, Russian and French paramilitary along side indian military troops defended indian installations on the triton and participated in naval battles above the planet. The combined military of Neptune was nearly decimated however and for defense the planet now relies on paramilitary groups to act as both the police and military for the new Navitas colonies.

Society: Navitas is largely “sea-faring” community, the colonies floating in the atmosphere use ships for everyday use. Every family, man, woman and sometimes child have their own personal ships to get around in. There is a high level of travel everyday between the different structures making the colony as a whole extremely well-connected. Navitas citizens see each other as close friends and it is common to to know someone where ever you go in the colony. The three cultures have mixed almost seamlessly, music, cuisine and dance have been converted into a fusion of the three. Because of the unbreathable and downright hostile atmosphere, living is done in large ultra resistant structures. These structures are usually domed shape and sport many different radial smiler domes. More often then not, there are collections of domes connected via large bridges and “highways” for quick and easy travel. There are living domes floating in the high to mid troposphere to combat the pressure and temperatures from the planet below . Atmospheric domes use repulsor magnets that allow the dome to stay floating in place, while air intakes convert the constant gale force winds into energy through turbines. Due to the high hydrogen content in the atmosphere using combustion based propulsion on planet is strictly forbidden, citizens get around using sails an archaic but effective method. Because of the high winds sails can be used to attain blinding speeds and transfer people and goods around neptune very quickly. In the living domes in the high troposphere personal travel is hazardous because of the increased wind speed, only a very select few human pilots can maintain control of their crafts at this speed. Most of the piloting and navigation is done by computers and is human assisted, but a large number of personal craft are still completely human piloted and seen as sport craft. A number of orbital stations serve as trading hubs for bringing supplies down to the planet and point of entry for foreigners. Navigating the hazy expanses of neptune without the proper know how or navigation charts can be deadly. All foreign ships must dock at these stations and travel down to the planet by way of the space elevator, rental sails are available for a price once in atmosphere. 

Entertainment: Sport is an important part of Navitas culture, sport is the only thing that Navitas citizens come to odds with. Sailing, Football ( Soccer), Basketball, Baseball……most of the earth based sports have been retained in Navitas. Betting is common and each living dome usually has its own sports team. There are also clubs and bars all over the different living domes.

Technology: Blue Water Propulsion and Ballistics 
 The company was founded on the Neptune colonies and specializes in advanced propulsion and weapon systems, because of the need for non-combustion propulsion.

Magnetoplasmadynamic thrusters: is a form of electrically powered spacecraft propulsion which uses the Lorentz force, the force on a charged particle by an electromagnetic field to generate thrust. Currently in the late research and close the development phase. 

Magnetic Acceleration weapons: Using causeless tungsten rounds, rounds are magnetically propelled at blinding speeds, aiming more for penetration and stopping power. This method requires no combustion, rounds are electrically propelled with minimal heat gain. 

Repulsor Magnets: These are constantly in a state of research, due to the need for a more energy efficient method to keep living domes in the air. The repusor uses a polarity opposite to the planets magnetic field to keep the domes in the air.

Military: Due to the lack of a colony wide military force, the government has allowed paramilitary groups to become both the police force and military for Navitas. The groups must adhere to stringent conditions and regulations before being recognized as a paramilitary group. These regulations are in place so that one group does not try and overthrow the government through force ( Although, what citizen of Navitas would want to do that?). Each group trains and ultimately funds itself and members, as a result each paramilitary organization has a different standard of training. These groups do receive hardware and some funding from the government but are mostly self contained.

Notable Paramilitary groups:
Navitas Defense force ( Police trained)

Second Sons ( regulars)

Abakumov and Gupta Special Solutions Group (Specialty Trained shock force)

Navy: Usually re-purposed civilian ships fitted with weapons ( Auto-cannons, Missiles, large caliber cannons). The Navy consists of privateer vessels of varying classes, any civilian captain who wishes to serve is given his pick of weapons for his vessel.
