Background
New Horzion
New Horizon, or formally known as just Horizon was one of the very first colony worlds to be glassed by the Covenant at the star of the war. The planet itself held very little in terms of strategic or resource value, but was a pioneer world, a test that humanity was ready to expand to worlds beyond the stars.
After the Human-Covenant war, Sangheili Councillor Radumee purposed a joint venture with the UNSC to rebuild Horizon – Appropriately renaming it New Horizon.
The first challenge that was faced would have been making the planet habitable again. The solution was simple in theory, but in practice would have proven impossible if both parties did not work together as well as they did.
Over Four-Hundred terraforming units were built and deployed across the planet, slowly hydrating the scorched earth and sky, making it fertile once more.
As sections of the planet became liveable once more, Councillor Radumee revealed that he held a swarm of loyal Huragok. How he managed this was a mystery, but nonetheless proved his intentions were true. Entire population centres were constructed within months and populated just as quickly.
After two years of hard work, New Horizon was christened as the first human-alien colony in existence. Embassies for each major race were built as a way to form a better relationship so as in the worlds of Radumee: ‘The Sins of the Fathers aren’t passed down to their Sons.’
-But now, all of that will be undone.
Director Michael Knight
Director Michael Knight is a Section-I member, making everything he does highly classified and often off the books.
During the Human-Covenant War, Knight was placed in charge of securing enemy data and intel by any means he felt were necessary. He held in his command a special task force dedicated to capturing hostile individuals and making them talk.o
Often his methods were barbaric, even by Brute standards, using Thanolekgolo to burrow into the flesh of his victims. Such acts would have been terminated had they not produced the vital results that they did.
After the war, Knight had been made a Director, his focus shifted to R&D, picking at the remains of the Ark and studying biological weapons.
Councillor Radumee
Radumee was part of the Council on High Charity for most of his life. While he held a very disqunished military background, he often thought of himself more of a diplomat. A rare feature among the Sangheili.
During the Covenant Civil War, Radumee had been captured and imprisoned on Instillation 05, but was later rescued by the Arbiter.
Radumee would later prove vital in building a relationship between the humans during the inception of the Human- Sangheili alliance. However, during the Battle of High Charity, Radumee felt compelled to return and assist the repelling of the Flood incursion. – Only to see it fail.
After the war, Radumee purposed the join operation in rebuilding Horizon – showing humans and Sangheili could work together once again for the greater good.
OOC Information
Hello and welcome to Halo: Floodgate, a apoplectic take on the Halo universe. The planet of New Horizon is under siege from Flood forces and anyone attempting to flee will be shot down by UNSC and Covenant forces as part of the quarantine procedure.
However there is hope for you. Both Director Knight and Councillor Radumee are here to help... mostly. Their battling ideals as to what to do with the Flood creates a market for you to offer your services for supplies and credits. Each week they will have a new mission for you, each carrying their own rewards and risks.
Classes/Races
You are able to play as a Human, Spartan or any Covenant race. The only expectation are Huragok as these are rare resources that you can obtain. Each race has their own unique bonus, such as Humans are able to be any class, i.e Engineer, Medic and so on, whilst Spartans cannot, they have the obvious survivability bonus. These will be explained at a later time.
