Exodus Counter-Project: GENESIS
-AREA: Salvation-
“To Protect and Provide”

History:
	
	When Legacy was first established, another splinter group formed in its wake. They were made up of people who had worked behind the shadows and assisted in building Legacy but were thrown away once their goals had been achieved. This splinter group was known as “Birthright”. This group was; however, able to siphon some resources off Legacy and founded the super-corporation “Progress United” which became massively successful and was able to purchase a large area of the Pacific Ocean including a group of small islands. 
We are Birthright. We who had lost everything despite all we had given to make the project a success. We remain to reclaim that Birthright, our Inheritance. Well, at least, we did.

	We were always aware of Project EXODUS. EXODUS was a plan we were supposed to ensure would never come to fruition. During those days before Legacy’s foundation, we were among those who ardently spoke against EXODUS. And that is what landed us here – defending what we thought was right, what we thought would be best for mankind.
	
	When they announced it to the public, they were also waiting for us to come out of hiding. They knew we would speak out once more but we stood down. Cowardly, yes, but we determined it would be the best strategy in the end. Better us here in the present to protect the world from what already is than us destroyed in the past failing to prevent something that would be.
	
	Progress United was nothing more than a façade. We were already preparing weapons to use against the unknown. During that half-century of preparation, we created a stronghold. We created Salvation.
	
	Counter-Project GENESIS was our plan to preserve what we could of humanity. Phase 1 was Salvation. Phase 2 is… well, we’ll just see.
	
	How’d we make it you ask? Salvation. What’s Salvation? Well, you’ll see.

General Information:

Survival Method: 

Hiding out in the middle of the Pacific. We do have a stronghold prepared but we never expected how many, how strong or when the invasion was to take place. Our stronghold was built assuming the threat would come a long while AFTER Exodus opened, not exactly when it opened. We were also assuming our threat would probably be human, in the form of Legacy so our fort probably won’t hold out well against the Enemy.
Location: 

We hold several islands in the Pacific along with an underwater base. A pretty big one too.

Technology:

About the same as everyone else… save for some prototype [HIGHLY UNSTABLE EXPERIMENTAL] weapons (laser cannons, railguns, coil guns).

Military Capabilities:

Majority of their forces are Progress United's corporate paramilitary. There are 30,000 personnel garrisoned at Salvation and 430,000 worldwide (a massive super-corporation [b]does[/b] need a lot of protection, especially when they plan to take down [b]the[/b] equally massive organization that launched the space race).

They also hold 500 tanks and 250 units of aircraft all stationed at Salvation. They also hold 2 aircraft carriers along with a 50 vessel fleet.

[b]Arthur Penne, 21[/b]
Head of Birthright, Director of Counter-Project Genesis, Former President of Progress United

"We will take back what they stole and we will fix what they broke. For my family's honor and the future of mankind!"

Arthur is the grandson of the late Wesley Penne - Founder of Birthright and one of the men instrumental to the founding of Legacy in 1930. He was immediately discredited for all he'd done in 1932 including the creation of key components of the radio and the proposal of several plans, many of which live on as Projects of Legacy. Wesley gained his own followers and was nearly able to delay the release of the computer in 1935. He founded Birthright in 1936 and Progress United was founded later, in 1940, starting out in the arms manufacturing industry and going on to extend to so many more fields.

With Wesley's death in 2015, Birthright was put under his father, Ross Penne who disappeared in early 2017. Arthur has only recently inherited his family's titles but knows all about his family's history, along with exactly how Genesis was supposed to go. He designed the plans at the age of 17, after all.

He has two goals - destroy Legacy and protect his followers. And to that end, he will pursue them relentlessly
