Nation Name- The Septonium Concordant
Location: Galactic Northwest
Capital Planet-
The Capital of the Septonium Concordant is Taoshe, it is a lush green planet with a temperate climate. The planet is a mixture of lush multicolored grass like expanses, Alpine territories topped with blue snow and large rough oceans. The coastal territories and the oceans is a big contrast from the beautiful expanses of the inner regions. Storms are frequent along the coast and it rains most of the 24 month year, making the seas extremely rough. This is due to the gravity of the binary star Shao XI and the planets 3 moons. Taoshe is the Executive center of the concordant and is also home to the central military headquarters.
Planets-
The core four planets in the empire lie within the binary star system of Shao XI are Taoshe, Haloh, Icarus and Jalag other worlds are named based the date at which they were found, allied or conquered. The concordant does maintain large space stations in the large expanses between planets.
Taoshe- Center of government, seat of military and political power. Three moons ( Tao 1-3) are frozen methane balls.
Haloh- The agricultural center of the Concordant and home to the top architectural and engineering universities. Haloh is the heartland of the concordant 50% of its surface is farmland. Haloh is also the trading capital of the Concordant and home to many of the International corporations of the concordant. This is a major tourist center because of the large amount of history.
Icarus- The largest and most desolate planet in the system, made up of large deserts and giant gorges, canyons and mountains. The lower hemisphere is a weapons testing ground for the military while the upper hemisphere is home to the diplomatic universities of the Concordant.
Jalag- A large manufacturing world, protected by the three other core planets. Jalag is home to the biggest naval port in the Concordant. Jalag is a major manufacturing world and is home to the majority of the weapons plants that service the military
Leader-The current chairman of the Concordant is Valag Timonus
Government- The Septonium Concordant is a Republic with a large senatorial body, laws and other decisions of the state are governed by this body. Senators are chosen from the ranks of the military, selection is based on merit and honor in combat. The Septonium Concordant is a military state, the military funds, directs and oversees all actions made by the state. Non-military assets and military assets share a nice relationship and cooperate readily, helping in anyway they can in non military matters. It is not uncommon for military transports to transport building materials for civilians builders and it is common to see the military pull in civilian help for humanitarian missions. The Concordant's second largest body is the diplomatic corps which handles all foreign relations and non-combat missions. Because of the slow recruitment and training time for recruits the concordant cannot sustain large military campaigns. Peace and Diplomacy have become paramount for the concordant and military action is seen as a very last resort.
Population- The radiation given off by the binary star makes most of the planets in the system inhospitable. With the exception os the Aradites, the native population of the Septonium Concordant there are savage feral beings that inhabit other worlds in the system. The total population of the Concordant is 10 billion.
Species-The Aradites are the only species in the Septonium Concordant, they are a odd humanoid like species that have adapted to their radiation rich environment. The binary system Shao XI is home to 12 worlds, four of which are inhabited by the Aradites, the rest are inhabited by feral beasts which are the mutated remnants of past civilizations.
Race Name- Aradites
[hider=]
[hider=]
Habitat- The core planets all have temperate climates with long winter and spring like seasons. Aradites can adapt to almost any climate but prefer cooler temperatures typically associated with alpine terrain.
Appearance- Aradite physiology is not to distant from human although a bit taller, they exhibit all the same reproductive organs and have all of the standard circulatory organs. Aradite skin is hard and leathery but appears smooth, slightly changing hue based on their mood. The Aradites have complex eyes that have a bright yellow/green color, their evolution as nomadic hunters has sharpened their eyesight and has given them a small amount of natural night vision.
Physiology-
-Tough leathery skin
- Resistance to radiation
-Bright complex eyes
Personality- Aradites are honorable people who share a very strong nationalist bond . They are generally very accepting to outsiders and are polite and respectful , not wanting to offend any other being. Aradites are very easy to spin up however; giving them the stigma of being very hotheaded and brash. Aradite men usually are very headstrong and brave, competing to be chosen for senatorial slots or top positions in the Diplomatic Corps. Women are held in very high esteem in Aradite culture, venerated as symbols of beauty and elegance. Women compete alongside men for the same positions and are often more successful.
Lifespan/Birth/Aging- Aradites live for three to four centuries, the constant radiation given off from the binary stars has made them age extremely slow and has lessened the physical impact of aging. It is not uncommon to see a 200 year old Aradite who still looks like his 23 or 25 year old human equivalent. Child birth is very similar to human child birth except for the lack of an umbilical cord and belly buttons. Mating is usually for life due to long lifespans , it is not uncommon for a male to court a female for weeks even months before formal dating begins.
Language- Aradite language is Demioi, it is very elegant and smooth, native speakers often blend together words and speak very quickly making translation extremely difficult to the forgien ear. There are two Dialects of Demioi, Daimet and Dai'kat. Daimet is the informal version of the language and is spoken in everyday life, Dai'kat is dated and extremely formal. Dai'kat is only spoken at formal events and briefings.
Culture- Aradite culture revolves around honor in combat, honor in family and honor is life. Honor and prestige is very important in Aradite institutions and is the most common way to earn promotions and other merits. It is common for men and women to fight alongside each other in battle. Aradite women are fierce and elegant warriors along with being symbols of beauty, it is common to see wives and husbands in the same regiment or even squad.
.
Advantage Traits- Honorable. respectful, disciplined
Disadvantage Traits- Hotheaded, Naive, Some can be rather stuck up, Due to long life span Aradites do not reproduce much.
Other Traits- Large, ornate and sometimes glowing tattoos along with piercings are becoming more popular with the Aradite communities in the core worlds.
[/hider]
Currency- Septonian Dari
Culture:
--Aradites are known for being extremely liberal in allowing use of Alcohol and certain psychedelic drugs. The military allows the use of both alcohol and drugs while on deployment as long as it does not effect their combat readiness.
-- When showing up to formal events, it is Aradite culture to bring gifts like food and wine. This can include a large amount of gifts and can sometimes overwhelm hosts.
Advantage Traits- The Septonian military is excellent, tempered by years of fighting feral beasts on the nearby worlds, each raw recruit enters a battalion with a year or two of actual combat experience. The Soldiers and Marines are extremely disciplined and field the best equipment known to the empire.
Disadvantage Traits- Debate in the senate is common, therefore it takes a long time to get major bills passed.
- Aradites share a strong nationalist bond that can lead to hostility.
- Some citizens can be rude, stuck up and prejudice towards other species
Other Traits- The Septonium Concordant has beautiful planets and is great a terraforming, they have a very open building style resembling the style of ancient Rome and Greece. Aradites are hospitable people and are generally very nice, even if they are a bit easy to rile up.
Most core planets distill there own wine, liquor and spirits, it is very strong and said to cause hallucinations and euphoria due to the ingredients. The ingredients are a closely guarded secrets among the families.
Aradite romantic novels are very long and drawn out, very similar to the dating style of the Aradites. These novels are very popular among some other species but are seen to be too long and slow for others.
History- When the Aradites evolved into a humanoid being they immediately began hunting and gathering, quickly becoming nomads. These nomad groups eventually met each other and created small settlements and attracted more people into these settlements. As time progressed Governments formed and nations were established around these former nomadic tribes, as the nations grew conflict between these nations became inevitable. A bloody period of war started, including three world wars and countless small conflicts over land and resources on the planet. The victor of these conflicts and the superpower on the planet was the Septonious family a strong a charismatic house known for their ruthless military and wealth. The family began to conquer the planet and by the end of the late modern age the entire planet was under Septonian control. The Septonian leadership installed the senate into the government and removed all the power from the monarchy and placed it in the hands of the senate, Most of the senators were old veterans from the different campaigns of conquest and a few scholars. Most of the senators came from the millitary's marine battalions and the diplomatic corps. The Septonium Concordant has since expanded to is current reaches and is still fighting ancient colonial battles with separatists. The Concordant has a long and friendly relationship with its neighbors, The New Arcturus Republic and The Fringe Commonwealth. The concordant has been trading partners with the two since the beginning of the Septonian space age, and has even fought for the Republic during their civil war. Septonian forces also played a minor role in the "Duchy conflict", providing special reconnaissance for NAR forces.
Military- The military is broken into three separate branches:
Operations Branch: The Operations branch consists of the Navy, Army and Marine forces, these forces encompass the armed wing of the Concordant and preform three separate duties. The Navy serves in an offensive role and a transport/ exploration role as well as being the primary deployment platform for the Marine battalions. The marine battalions are the primary shock troops of the concordant, their primary duties are lightning fast raids and specialized offensives. They lack the ability to hold and occupy terrain however and deploy with limited resources. Occupation of territories is the army's primary duty, they deploy with a regiment of combat engineers to quickly build fortifications and other defensive structures. They are trained as military policemen to combat civilian threats along with military targets. Against specialized forces however the army lacks the same operational capability.
Diplomatic Branch: The diplomatic branch is the main voice of the concordant, some of the best minds in Foreign policy and galactic relations make up the Diplomatic corps staff. The Diplomatic Branch maintains a small fleet of specialized diplomatic shuttles and cruisers. Their primary duty is conflict avoidance and conflict resolution.
Agriculture/Colonial Branch: The A&C Branch is strictly a exploration and terraforming branch, their only duty is the exploration of new worlds and terraforming operations on other worlds to be colonized. They maintain a large fleet, second in size to the Operations branch. A company of marines is assigned to the A&C branch and all their vessels are unarmed.
Septonian Marines: Joining the military is a life choice for most Aradites, choosing to attend military academies at a very young age. Once accepted the new candidates are put through an intense curriculum of military history, tactical applications and operations, galactic history, Galatic culture and daily physical training. By their 5th or 6th year in the academy candidates are given the first round of bio- enhancements, these include mitochondrial and protein stimulants for increased muscle growth and computer assisted optical implants for another 10% boost in natural night vision. The curriculum continues until their 16th year when they are given their second and final round of enhancements. Veins and arteries are widened and a second small synthetic heart is implanted allowing for a higher blood flow and clotting speed, all marines have a identical scar under their left arm pit from the procedure. After graduating from the Academy, new marines are assigned to training platoons and sent to the neighboring worlds of Falkaide XXI or Harum VI to combat the feral beings there. This serves as operational training and tempers new marines to combat, the surviving marines are then relieved by the next group of fresh marines and are assigned to operational battalions. Marines spend 18-19 years in training including school and devote most of their lives to the military. Marines are heavily armed aiming for shock and awe, their weapons are made up of carbines , personal defense weapons and heavy shoulder launched rockets. However, they can be seen using a wide range of weaponry. All marines carry light shields to help against energy based attacks but are very weak.
Septonian Army: The Army follows the same pipeline as the Marine candidates but are deployed to the contested planet of Gaiconda to fight the insurgency there. Surviving soldiers are assigned to operational companies and relieved by the next group of new soldiers. Soldiers carry a wide range of weapons and deploy with large surpluses of gear, they are heavily armed with main battle rifles and machine guns along with a wide range of artillery.
Septonian Navy: Space travel is relatively new to the Aradites, what they lack in raw knowledge however they make up for with technology and mathematics. Aradite vessels are built from scaled durasteel under a sloped alloy like armor. vessels are commonly narrow at either and and smoothly bubble around the scaled durasteel to help kinetic projectiles glance off. All vessels have light to medium shields, able to absorb one or two energy based strikes before failing. The navy maintains the intelligence service for the concordant and a special warfare branch made up of 3 platoons of special forces and special operations operators.
JIIC ( Joint Internal Intelligence Command): The intelligence service for the concordant sometimes referred to as the "Laucomb" or hole by citizens. The JIIC tries it best to stay below the radar, even evading the Concordant's security measures. The JIIC is completely independent of the military branches and has its own leadership and funding, JIIC case officer and operators are considered some of the best trained operators in the Concordant.
Aries class : This is the biggest class of vessel in the fleet, carrying 12 missile pods, two forward facing magnetic accelerated torpedo tubes, 30 point defense turrets ( 10 fore, 10 mid, 10 aft) and space to carry a fighter squadron and a marine battalion with all of their gear and vehicles.
Carrier : 6 missile pods, one forward facing MAT, 20 point defense turrets, space for a fighter squadron and 2 companies of Marines.
Septum class : Three 120mm cannons , two forward facing MAT, 10 point defense turrets, capable of laying mines
Lahai class : Two 120mm cannons, One forward facing MAT, capable of laying mines,
Blackhole class: Excellent stealth and electronics suite, capable of laying mines, one forward facing MAT, 3 missile tube
Shrike Fighter:
Faulk Fighter-bomber:
Septonian weaponry: All Aradite weapons are magnetically accelerated, which fire a small caseless projectile, these rounds are often high explosive or armor piercing tipped.
MAT= Magnetically accelerated torpedoes

The United Front of the Old Order
(Also known as: The Black Faction, "The Blacks", Blackcoats)
"The Imperium Will Rise Again"
Description and history of the Arcturus Civil War:
WARNING: THIS HISTORY IS NOW OUT OF DATE. NEW STUFF HAS BEEN INTRODUCED THROUGH PIRATEPAD. THIS WILL BE UPDATED.
The United Front of the Old Order is the standing coalition of the rebels in the currently raging Arcturus Civil War. Formed six years ago at the beginning of open conflict, the United Front has command of nearly all rebel forces, with the exclusion of the Transorg terrorists and anti-human alien rebel forces.
As its name suggests, the United Front is an alliance of various different rebel parties and factions, the two most organized of these (Though not necessarily the largest) are the Imperial Restoration Faction and the National Old Order Vanguard Party(NOOVP, or NOOV-Party), the two share power over the rebel armies of ultra-nationalists, reactionaries, monarchists, conservatives, human supremacists, fascists and separatists.
The rebellion is rooted in deep and growing divisions between the majority human population and the increasing minority alien population of the New Arcturus Republic. Faced with an increasingly more powerful alien minority concerning politics and business, a pro-alien federal government giving more and more rights to aliens and a deteriorating economic situation due to unemployment amongst humans (Many corporations finding aliens a more efficient worker), many humans became disillusioned with the current state of the Republic. When the conservative human voters constant attempts to roll back reforms failed in the presence of a pro-reform parliament, political dissent rose sharply. The situation was so rapid that the government did not even know they were in a crisis until there were civilian protests, marches and even riots in some more particularly anti-alien communities and cities.
The situation was rapidly spinning out of control at a rate not seen since the fall of the Imperium. Shortly after the first wave of protests, socialists and communist elements within the human lower classes demanded fair treatment in the workplace, with aliens now finding themselves in the economic position humanity had prior to the economic and social reforms. The union's and socialists marched shortly after the reactionaries did, the marches followed by worker strikes and further rioting.
The first act of serious violence was when the socialists and reactionary protesters clashed, forcing police to pacify the city located on the capital world itself. The government went into damage control, trying its best to pacify the protesters and (Unknown to anyone else but the government, who went to lengths to keep it secret) the increasingly agitated military.
The protests and violence in the major cities died down for a time however the social and economic issues were never really resolved, simply put on hold. Despite peace returning, underneath the supposed return to the status quo was a growing anti-government rebel sentiment across all worlds. Obscure and otherwise powerless political parties started gaining in popularity and votes, the ultra-right and board line illegal NOOV-Party gaining as much as 15% of the votes in the elections. There was a resurrection in the romanticist movement and returned interest in Imperial and Duchy culture. Racial gang violence was at an all time high on Magnus Terra. The government of the Republic merely postponed the inevitable by closing the lid of a boiling kettle.
The momentary peace was finally ended by an otherwise unimportant court case involving violence between Vatani refugee's and a human citizen whom was killed by the refugee's when they assumed the human was coming to once again harass and beat them. The courts favoured the Vatani due to previous incidents of similar nature being associated with ethnic violence and the refugee's walked away free. The enraged human populace of the local area rose up in protest, causing a chain reaction across the entire republic. Once again the people marched through the cities but in numbers than dwarfed the first time. The major cities of New Arcturus and Magnus Terra attracted millions of human protests. The NOOVP continued to rise in popularity and its membership sky-rocketed. It formed its own private paramilitary, the National People's Vanguard (NPV, also known as the Blackcoats) which went on to form a 100,000 man march, the blackcoats goose-stepping down main city roads while waving old flags of the Imperium and playing patriotic marching music. In Magnus Terra and Palatine, the protests were actually supported by the planetary and local government who even helped finance the logistics of the rallies.
The protests were then joined by even more humans and aliens, gathering in the millions to perform counter-protests. When the government brought in enforcers and national guard to finally stop the madness, any sense of order and calm was finally destroyed. The infamous Republic Culture Centre Bombing occurred which ended the 'protest stage' of the rebellion. Two miniaturized thermo-nuclear bombs were detonated on the Republic Culture Centre, A superstructure located in the middle of one of the largest cities on New Arcturus, killing 2.4 million people.
Global martial law was declared on numerous worlds, stock markets crashed across the republic (and even other nations like the grand duchy) and interstellar panic ensued. Predicting a colossal backlash, the government had loyal military forces and fleets deployed, tanks rolled down town streets and government loyalist militia's armed to the teeth. Two weeks later, a second bombing occurred on Yeth, destroying the Yethari Cultural History Museum and surrounding area (Luckily they were only conventional bombs).
A month later, the most unlikely rebel action occurred. A small district in the very heart of the capital of the republic declared independence. Communist radical forces declared the formation of a "Free Arcturian State" from a single building. A fifty day siege continued until the area was bombed by the Arcturian Air Force. Over 12,000 were killed in the fighting and following bombing. Less than a day after the siege ended, numerous similar 'Free States" begun forming across the republic, both communist and reactionary aligned.
While the Arcturian military dealt with the communist and reactionary rebel compounds, reports from the intelligence agencies were coming in to the government warning of an imminent military coup against the republic. Moved to act immediately, the Republic prepared for a now very real possibility of interstellar civil war. Following intelligence reports, the Republic successfully cracked down on a military conspiracy, arresting a large number of military officers. The conspirators were handed over to the agency for interrogation.
Embolden by the successful crackdown on an attempted coup, loyalist military and militia forces advanced onwards recapturing most of the rebel territory. Roughly 45,000 people died in these campaigns. Even with these government victories, the rebellion continued to grow in size and radicalism. A campaign of smaller bombings begun against smaller targets ranging from Vatani refugee camps to train stations. Finally, the rebels made their next major move since the nuclear bombing. On the anniversary of the first blackcoat march, Adrian Heinlan, leader of the NOOVP made a daring speech at a romanticist festival, the NOOVP leader calling for a "march on New Arcturus". And so the NOOVP coup begun.
140,000 blackcoats armed with assault rifles, machine guns, legged humanoid drones and trucks made their march towards the capital of the republic. During the coup they captured a number of smaller cities and towns before eventually being halted by the military. The 140,000 blackcoats engaged the army in a few scattered guerrilla battles until eventually they retreated when the army moved in tanks, gunships and mechs. Adrian Heinlan was captured, arrested and then jailed for high treason.
Despite the failure of the coup, while in jail Heinlan only grew more popular, and both the death of numerous NOOVP members and the banning of the party acted as a martyrdom. While the major NOOVP leaders were even in hiding or prison and their followers waiting their return, the major rebel activity was now acted out by the Imperial Restoration Faction. Though previously remaining quiet in the fighting it had been using its time and resources to gain contacts and supporters in local governments and military forces. It thought that now was the time to mobilize, both with the republic in chaos and the NOOVP unable to move. Augustine Arcturus, nicknamed "Fashti XIX" returned to the New Arcturus Republic (He lived in the Grand Duchy) to proclaim himself the rightful emperor and ruler of the Imperium.
Upon the arrival of the self declared emperor, the Republic realized their intelligence agency was correct. Numerous military bases and fleets of the republic went dark, appearing later in a joint proclamation declaring the Republic an illegitimate government. The government knew now that civil war was inevitable. Reaffirming their presence in the rebellion, the NOOVP led another bombing campaign, its greatest success being the assassination of the former Prime Minister, killed when two members of the NOOVP disguised as media personnel detonated hidden explosives on their bodies while shaking hands with the Prime Minister.
Though not considered the actual first battle of the civil war, the first conflict between rebel-aligned military and loyalists was on the world of Palatine. Many local state governments and the planetary government of Palatine were clearly sided with the human rebels and there were already talks of secession from the republic. Alien minorities and loyalist human militia's knew full well what was going to happen, so they struck first. The loyalist militia's armed with weapons from the federal government attacked the state and planetary government without orders from the capital or loyalist military.
An isolated however global conflict broke out on Palatine, loyalist militia's and aliens fighting against rebel militia's and the state/planetary military. In a twist of fate, many Palatine soldiers and officers loyal to the republic ended up siding with the rebels that day once the militia's begun performing more questionable actions to stop the rebellion that were not too dissimilar to the rebel militia's. The isolated conflict continued on up to until the interstellar civil war broke out, by then merging into the larger conflict (The federal government hesitated to join the war on Palatine, fearing if they did so, it would merely convince other state and planetary governments to rebel).
By this point, the Imperial Restoration Party now had its own army behind its back, Palatine's army and state government were now virtually already at war with the republic and Magnus Terra was awaiting the return of the NOOVP. The next rebel move was sudden and quiet enough the the government could not once again stop it. Adrian Heinlan simply walked straight out of prison. Before the government could stop his unlikely escape, he was already heading towards Magnus Terra, whose planetary government had sworn their support to the NOOVP cause.
When Heinlan arrived, Magnus Terra officially declared independence from the New Arcturus Republic and in the same announcement declared war. The civil war had officially begun. In a rapid blitzkrieg, the Magnus Terra forces along with blackcoat and militia support overrun 70% of the loyalist forces on the planet, laying siege to the rapidly retreating loyalist army and militia.
The Republic assembled their forces, sending a fleet and army straight towards Magnus Terra to put an end to the civil war before the rebels could organize into an interstellar front. Following intelligence contributed by the same agency that took down the military conspiracy, the republican fleet jumped straight into...
A trap. Set for them by the same intelligence agency that captured and arrested so called 'rebel' conspirators (Actually loyalists meeting to work out a plan to find and shut-down the rebels inside the military). The same intelligence agency that also 'captured', 'imprisoned' and then freed Adrian Heinlan, who they work for. In a infamous battle that acts both as a shocking defeat to the republic and a rally call for revenge, half of the fleet sent to pacify Magnus Terra switched sides half way through the battle over the planet.
The republican fleet, pressed between the Magnus Terra fleet and the betrayal from their own was obliterated in orbit, heavy casualties for both navy and army with only a few smaller ships escaping the trap. Immediately after the treacherous battle, the rebels declared the formation of the "United Front of the Old Order", with an alliance between the NOOVP, Magnus Terra government and Imperial Restoration Faction signed.
Despite the rebel cause growing rapidly in numbers and strength, the betrayal over Magnus Terra had an unwanted side-effect for the rebels. It was then used by the savy Republic media and propaganda departments as a call to arms. Waves of patriotic and enraged republican civilians human and alien alike eagerly signed up as troops to fight in the civil war. The Republic was no longer going to hold back, and now was going into full war mobilization.
After the founding of the UF, rebels mobilized across the Republic. An imposingly large chunk of New Arcturus declared independence. While the republic fought at the capital and continued besieging Magnus Terra, rebel fleets carried armies to assault Ishkaar, homeworld of the Ishkaaran xeno's. After a year of civil war fighting, the war turned around as the Republicans regained their military and naval strength to launch a sustained offensive. For the next two years, the Republic would lead a number of successful military campaigns against the rebels, forcing the rebels out of the capital city and cutting off rebels on New Arcturus by breaking the rebel blockade. Republican morale soared as they pushed forward, breaking the rebel blockade on Ishkaar next and liberating the Ishkaar capital from rebel occupation.
By mid-point through the war (3 years ago), the tide of the war once again moved. Palatine finally declared independence from the republic, joined the UF and declared war on the republic. The Palatine loyalist fighters were being pushed back by the famous Republican Field Marshal Raelburn Erwing Lehm, now a UF Field Marshal. In space, the equally famous Admiral Torman Javen Javenson launched his daring fleet assault directly into the heart of Republican space, forcing the Republic to call ships back from blockading Magnus Terra to fight him. Admiral T.J Javenson went on to be known as "Steelhull" for his dauntless persistence and fearless commanding from the front, despite being an admiral.
To relieve UF forces further, Field Marshal R.E.Lehm was redeployed to Magnus Terra to fight the famous Republican General Argus Bradley. The two commanders essentially deadlocked the entire planet and the war stagnated.
By the current day, six years since Magnus Terra declared independence, the war has gone on far longer than anyone would have imagined and with no end in sight. The rebel and loyalist armies continue to swell with numbers and the battlefields with corpses. Not even the use of tactical thermo-nuclear weapons have removed the fighting spirit of either side. Fighting continue's on Magnus Terra, Palatine, New Arcturus and Ishkaar following a renewed UF assault on the planet. Even Yeth and Aurolia are now targets of the civil war.
A new morning rises over the planet of Ishkaar and UF rebel forces awaken in the ruined cities with sounds of patriotic music blasting away. As they prepare to launch another offensive against the enemy entrenchment, a third and far more brutal force approaches from far beyond the Republic.

Faced with an increasingly more powerful alien minority concerning politics and business, a pro-alien federal government giving more and more rights to aliens and a deteriorating economic situation due to unemployment amongst humans (Many corporations finding aliens a more efficient worker), many humans became disillusioned with the current state of the Republic. When the conservative human voters constant attempts to roll back reforms failed in the presence of a pro-reform parliament, political dissent rose sharply. The situation was so rapid that the government did not even know they were in a crisis until there were civilian protests, marches and even riots in some more particularly anti-alien communities and cities.
The situation was rapidly spinning out of control at a rate not seen since the fall of the Imperium. Shortly after the first wave of protests, socialists and communist elements within the human lower classes demanded fair treatment in the workplace, with aliens now finding themselves in the economic position humanity had prior to the economic and social reforms. The union's and socialists marched shortly after the reactionaries did, the marches followed by worker strikes and further rioting.
The first act of serious violence was when the socialists and reactionary protesters clashed, forcing police to pacify the city located on the capital world itself. The government went into damage control, trying its best to pacify the protesters and (Unknown to anyone else but the government, who went to lengths to keep it secret) the increasingly agitated military.
The protests and violence in the major cities died down for a time however the social and economic issues were never really resolved, simply put on hold. Despite peace returning, underneath the supposed return to the status quo was a growing anti-government rebel sentiment across all worlds. Obscure and otherwise powerless political parties started gaining in popularity and votes, the ultra-right and board line illegal NOOV-Party gaining as much as 15% of the votes in the elections. There was a resurrection in the romanticist movement and returned interest in Imperial and Duchy culture. Racial gang violence was at an all time high on Magnus Terra. The government of the Republic merely postponed the inevitable by closing the lid of a boiling kettle.
The momentary peace was finally ended by an otherwise unimportant court case involving violence between Vatani refugee's and a human citizen whom was killed by the refugee's when they assumed the human was coming to once again harass and beat them. The courts favoured the Vatani due to previous incidents of similar nature being associated with ethnic violence and the refugee's walked away free. The enraged human populace of the local area rose up in protest, causing a chain reaction across the entire republic. Once again the people marched through the cities but in numbers than dwarfed the first time. The major cities of New Arcturus and Magnus Terra attracted millions of human protests. The NOOVP continued to rise in popularity and its membership sky-rocketed. It formed its own private paramilitary, the National People's Vanguard (NPV, also known as the Blackcoats) which went on to form a 100,000 man march, the blackcoats goose-stepping down main city roads while waving old flags of the Imperium and playing patriotic marching music. In Magnus Terra and Palatine, the protests were actually supported by the planetary and local government who even helped finance the logistics of the rallies.
The protests were then joined by even more humans and aliens, gathering in the millions to perform counter-protests. When the government brought in enforcers and national guard to finally stop the madness, any sense of order and calm was finally destroyed. The infamous Republic Culture Centre Bombing occurred which ended the 'protest stage' of the rebellion. Two miniaturized thermo-nuclear bombs were detonated on the Republic Culture Centre, A superstructure located in the middle of one of the largest cities on New Arcturus, killing 2.4 million people.
Global martial law was declared on numerous worlds, stock markets crashed across the republic (and even other nations like the grand duchy) and interstellar panic ensued. Predicting a colossal backlash, the government had loyal military forces and fleets deployed, tanks rolled down town streets and government loyalist militia's armed to the teeth. Two weeks later, a second bombing occurred on Yeth, destroying the Yethari Cultural History Museum and surrounding area (Luckily they were only conventional bombs).
A month later, the most unlikely rebel action occurred. A small district in the very heart of the capital of the republic declared independence. Communist radical forces declared the formation of a "Free Arcturian State" from a single building. A fifty day siege continued until the area was bombed by the Arcturian Air Force. Over 12,000 were killed in the fighting and following bombing. Less than a day after the siege ended, numerous similar 'Free States" begun forming across the republic, both communist and reactionary aligned.
While the Arcturian military dealt with the communist and reactionary rebel compounds, reports from the intelligence agencies were coming in to the government warning of an imminent military coup against the republic. Moved to act immediately, the Republic prepared for a now very real possibility of interstellar civil war. Following intelligence reports, the Republic successfully cracked down on a military conspiracy, arresting a large number of military officers. The conspirators were handed over to the agency for interrogation.
Embolden by the successful crackdown on an attempted coup, loyalist military and militia forces advanced onwards recapturing most of the rebel territory. Roughly 45,000 people died in these campaigns. Even with these government victories, the rebellion continued to grow in size and radicalism. A campaign of smaller bombings begun against smaller targets ranging from Vatani refugee camps to train stations. Finally, the rebels made their next major move since the nuclear bombing. On the anniversary of the first blackcoat march, Adrian Heinlan, leader of the NOOVP made a daring speech at a romanticist festival, the NOOVP leader calling for a "march on New Arcturus". And so the NOOVP coup begun.
140,000 blackcoats armed with assault rifles, machine guns, legged humanoid drones and trucks made their march towards the capital of the republic. During the coup they captured a number of smaller cities and towns before eventually being halted by the military. The 140,000 blackcoats engaged the army in a few scattered guerrilla battles until eventually they retreated when the army moved in tanks, gunships and mechs. Adrian Heinlan was captured, arrested and then jailed for high treason.
Despite the failure of the coup, while in jail Heinlan only grew more popular, and both the death of numerous NOOVP members and the banning of the party acted as a martyrdom. While the major NOOVP leaders were even in hiding or prison and their followers waiting their return, the major rebel activity was now acted out by the Imperial Restoration Faction. Though previously remaining quiet in the fighting it had been using its time and resources to gain contacts and supporters in local governments and military forces. It thought that now was the time to mobilize, both with the republic in chaos and the NOOVP unable to move. Augustine Arcturus, nicknamed "Fashti XIX" returned to the New Arcturus Republic (He lived in the Grand Duchy) to proclaim himself the rightful emperor and ruler of the Imperium.
Upon the arrival of the self declared emperor, the Republic realized their intelligence agency was correct. Numerous military bases and fleets of the republic went dark, appearing later in a joint proclamation declaring the Republic an illegitimate government. The government knew now that civil war was inevitable. Reaffirming their presence in the rebellion, the NOOVP led another bombing campaign, its greatest success being the assassination of the former Prime Minister, killed when two members of the NOOVP disguised as media personnel detonated hidden explosives on their bodies while shaking hands with the Prime Minister.
Though not considered the actual first battle of the civil war, the first conflict between rebel-aligned military and loyalists was on the world of Palatine. Many local state governments and the planetary government of Palatine were clearly sided with the human rebels and there were already talks of secession from the republic. Alien minorities and loyalist human militia's knew full well what was going to happen, so they struck first. The loyalist militia's armed with weapons from the federal government attacked the state and planetary government without orders from the capital or loyalist military.
An isolated however global conflict broke out on Palatine, loyalist militia's and aliens fighting against rebel militia's and the state/planetary military. In a twist of fate, many Palatine soldiers and officers loyal to the republic ended up siding with the rebels that day once the militia's begun performing more questionable actions to stop the rebellion that were not too dissimilar to the rebel militia's. The isolated conflict continued on up to until the interstellar civil war broke out, by then merging into the larger conflict (The federal government hesitated to join the war on Palatine, fearing if they did so, it would merely convince other state and planetary governments to rebel).
By this point, the Imperial Restoration Party now had its own army behind its back, Palatine's army and state government were now virtually already at war with the republic and Magnus Terra was awaiting the return of the NOOVP. The next rebel move was sudden and quiet enough the the government could not once again stop it. Adrian Heinlan simply walked straight out of prison. Before the government could stop his unlikely escape, he was already heading towards Magnus Terra, whose planetary government had sworn their support to the NOOVP cause.
When Heinlan arrived, Magnus Terra officially declared independence from the New Arcturus Republic and in the same announcement declared war. The civil war had officially begun. In a rapid blitzkrieg, the Magnus Terra forces along with blackcoat and militia support overrun 70% of the loyalist forces on the planet, laying siege to the rapidly retreating loyalist army and militia.
The Republic assembled their forces, sending a fleet and army straight towards Magnus Terra to put an end to the civil war before the rebels could organize into an interstellar front. Following intelligence contributed by the same agency that took down the military conspiracy, the republican fleet jumped straight into...
A trap. Set for them by the same intelligence agency that captured and arrested so called 'rebel' conspirators (Actually loyalists meeting to work out a plan to find and shut-down the rebels inside the military). The same intelligence agency that also 'captured', 'imprisoned' and then freed Adrian Heinlan, who they work for. In a infamous battle that acts both as a shocking defeat to the republic and a rally call for revenge, half of the fleet sent to pacify Magnus Terra switched sides half way through the battle over the planet.
The republican fleet, pressed between the Magnus Terra fleet and the betrayal from their own was obliterated in orbit, heavy casualties for both navy and army with only a few smaller ships escaping the trap. Immediately after the treacherous battle, the rebels declared the formation of the "United Front of the Old Order", with an alliance between the NOOVP, Magnus Terra government and Imperial Restoration Faction signed.
Despite the rebel cause growing rapidly in numbers and strength, the betrayal over Magnus Terra had an unwanted side-effect for the rebels. It was then used by the savy Republic media and propaganda departments as a call to arms. Waves of patriotic and enraged republican civilians human and alien alike eagerly signed up as troops to fight in the civil war. The Republic was no longer going to hold back, and now was going into full war mobilization.
After the founding of the UF, rebels mobilized across the Republic. An imposingly large chunk of New Arcturus declared independence. While the republic fought at the capital and continued besieging Magnus Terra, rebel fleets carried armies to assault Ishkaar, homeworld of the Ishkaaran xeno's. After a year of civil war fighting, the war turned around as the Republicans regained their military and naval strength to launch a sustained offensive. For the next two years, the Republic would lead a number of successful military campaigns against the rebels, forcing the rebels out of the capital city and cutting off rebels on New Arcturus by breaking the rebel blockade. Republican morale soared as they pushed forward, breaking the rebel blockade on Ishkaar next and liberating the Ishkaar capital from rebel occupation.
By mid-point through the war (3 years ago), the tide of the war once again moved. Palatine finally declared independence from the republic, joined the UF and declared war on the republic. The Palatine loyalist fighters were being pushed back by the famous Republican Field Marshal Raelburn Erwing Lehm, now a UF Field Marshal. In space, the equally famous Admiral Torman Javen Javenson launched his daring fleet assault directly into the heart of Republican space, forcing the Republic to call ships back from blockading Magnus Terra to fight him. Admiral T.J Javenson went on to be known as "Steelhull" for his dauntless persistence and fearless commanding from the front, despite being an admiral.
To relieve UF forces further, Field Marshal R.E.Lehm was redeployed to Magnus Terra to fight the famous Republican General Argus Bradley. The two commanders essentially deadlocked the entire planet and the war stagnated.
By the current day, six years since Magnus Terra declared independence, the war has gone on far longer than anyone would have imagined and with no end in sight. The rebel and loyalist armies continue to swell with numbers and the battlefields with corpses. Not even the use of tactical thermo-nuclear weapons have removed the fighting spirit of either side. Fighting continue's on Magnus Terra, Palatine, New Arcturus and Ishkaar following a renewed UF assault on the planet. Even Yeth and Aurolia are now targets of the civil war.
A new morning rises over the planet of Ishkaar and UF rebel forces awaken in the ruined cities with sounds of patriotic music blasting away. As they prepare to launch another offensive against the enemy entrenchment, a third and far more brutal force approaches from far beyond the Republic.

Name: Selena 'Killjoy' Oakland
Age: 23
Occupation: Mercenary
Appearance:
Personality: Selena, Preffering the name Sel, is a quiet and determined young woman. She chose the life of a Merc. out of necessity, not out of a wish for fame. Sel understands just how hard her carrier path can become and she is capable of getting threw high stress situations. Her Rock hard and intuitive personality has helped her throughout the beginning of her Mercenary carrier. On the job she is ruthless, take every and all precautions. Off the job she tends too loosen up a little. Many of her old squad partners were left clueless when trying to determine whether she was more frightening with a gun or with a bottle in her hand. Despite her one vice she is otherwise an average Merc., organized, rugged, and ready for action.
Home System: Unknown, Sel is an orphan, and has never wished to uncover the identities of her true parents. She is content with living life on her own. Or rather, she is used to it.
History: Much of Sel's young life was spent jumping from orphanage to orphanage. She has spent time in the Duchy, Commonwealth, and even the All party. Her time in the latter is what is responsible for both her robotic leg and eye. (See Equipment) On her 18'th Sel found herself in Old Order space. She attempted to join their military force after hearing it provided a trustworthy and steady income. After not too long however she found that military life wasn't for her. All she cared about was the pay check, and often times even that did not come. After a few years Sel went AWOL on one of her missions. She was using the name Clarice Selbridge, a soldier that is currently MIA in the opinion of the Order.
Afterwards Sel's life hit a slump. For a while she simply wandered, no real destination or direction, that was until she found herself in an All Party colony in the outskirts of the system. It was not long before she was given an ultimatum. 'Ascend' or die. Those were her choices. She chose ascendance. As a result she has gained a small edge over other soldiers, one she uses on a regular basis. (Again, it is in equipment, sheesh, so impatient.)
Sel then fled Party space, and soon found herself on the battle fields once again. This time she was fighting for the Duchy, some sort of uprising, she did not care, all she cared to see was her pay check, and a hefty one it was. She traveled to Vatan where she has spent her most recent years fighting against the very force she started her carrier fighting for. (The Old Order) She is now an official mercenary, her name isn't extremely well known, but it does carry some weight in the more rugged sectors. Selena Killjoy Oakland, formidable but inexperienced.
Equipment:
Robotic left leg: Capable of applying as much pressure as the leg of a Duchy Gn'mok, equipped with a shotgun withing the heel. Ammunition loaded into side of calf. Automatically becomes 'active' when leg is raised above the hip. Any excessive pressure on the base of the heel will cause the device to fire one it is active. Automatically deactivates upon lowering below the hip.
Mechanically enhanced left eye: Capable of processing information 3 times quicker than the average human eye. Vision increased by 2.5 times. Capable of infrared, and night vision. Unlike the the leg this eye is susceptible to effect from EMP. Hooked up to the nerve endings in the arms and shoulder, increasing hand eye coordination by 157%.
Regular mission gear: (This will be in addition to any gear required for a specific mission)
5 stun grenades, 2 emp grenades.
High powered combat rifle, fires 'cluster' bullets that explode within the body; also compatible with standard ammunition.
Long ranged rifle, fires Stun Shells used for debilitating enemies they work exceptionally well against robotic units for they take the same effect as EMP rounds.The rifle is also compatible with standard ammunition. 2000 meter scope. Tripod. Silencing technology.
Short range stun gun.
Abilities: Cool head: Able to keep her wits about her in most high stakes scenarios.
Quick wit: Clever with a good joke and quick on her feet (mentally and physically)
Quick: Other than her bionic leg, she is lacking in strength, she makes up for this in quickness.
Accurate: She is rather skilled with her aim.
Weaknesses:
Inexperienced
Physically Weak
No sexual experience (I think it is a weakness :P)
Sexually confused (She may be a little bi curious)
Quick Temper: Over certain things she can be quick to anger, when she is angry she is blinded to most things she would notice when level headed, also her robotic equipment, for some reason, tends to short circuit when she becomes angry.
Out dated: Her robotic improvements are considered outdated, and often need maintenance. She performs self maintenance, but whether this is helping or hurting is yet to be seen.
IT IS DONE (ish)
please give me any advice you wish to give in order to improve my cs :)
