All-Star Marvel: Audax Mundus Novus - Season 1 (Completed)

My apologies for not having responded sooner @Natty. I'll begin work on a Hyperion post ASAP; however, school starts up again tomorrow. So I doubt I'll be able to finish it tonight.

[Advanced] The Fall of an Empire: Space Opera NRP

I'll probably have a small Confederate task force attempting to evacuate high priority members of the empire from Almata as the sacking is underway.

[Advanced] The Fall of an Empire: Space Opera NRP

This looks very interesting. I've begun work on a Loyalist faction and placed the WIP in the Character tab.

[Advanced] The Fall of an Empire: Space Opera NRP

ACCEPTED

Faction Name: Imperial Confederacy of Worlds (Usually referred to as the Confederacy or Imperial Confederacy)

Faction Type: Loyalist

Faction leader(s): Grand Magistrate Dominacus Luprec

System(s)/Territory:

Banu System: Located in the outer rim of the empire on the edge of the Hinterlands, the Banu system contains a trio of arctic worlds, two gas giants, two garden world and a volcanic planet. A gargantuan asteroid belt stretches between the two gas giants. Banu is known for its exporting of raw materials, such as grains, metals, actinides and wood.

Pictorus System: Located in the outer rim of the empire on the edge of the Hinterlands, the Pictorus system is home to four habitable garden worlds, a gas giant and a pair of arctic dwarf planets. Pictorus is the capital system of the Confederacy and holds the largest population and is famous for its extensive naval manufacturing industry, civilian luxury products and Gladion tournaments.

Veneras System: Located in the outer rim of the empire on the edge of the Hinterlands, the Veneras System is home to half a dozen Volcanic planets and a trio of desert worlds. Veneras is widely considered the industrial heart of the Imperial Confederacy, building and forging all of the finished products and shipping them off to wherever they're needed across the Empire.

Planet(s)/Holdings:

Banu Prime: A jungle world with a population of 4 billion, Banu Prime is the regional capital of the system of its namesake. It functions as the shipping center of the Banu System and seat of local government. It possesses a significant military garrison due to its status as regional capital. Banu Prime is also home to the Confederacy's greatest scientific minds and the critical Confederate Think-tank known as the Imperial War College. They are responsible for nearly all scientific advancement within the Confederacy, civilian and military alike.

Keltori-12: The other garden world in the Banu System, Keltori is home to nearly two billion citizens. Most of its surface is covered in rich farmlands and plains. Thanks to its proximity to the sun, Keltori's weather is perfect for growing crops all year round. Keltori is the main exporter of agriculture to the Confederacy's worlds that lack sufficient sustenance farming. Military presence on Keltori-12 is small and its citizens usually rely on Banu Prime's forces to protect them from space pirates and invaders.

D17 Asteroid Belt: The primary source of raw metals for the Confederacy. D17 is home to roughly 100 million individuals, most of whom are miners, pilots and their families. The Asteroid Belt is protected round the clock by a vigilant fleet of Arcturian ships.

Alpha Tauro: Capital planet of the Pictorus System, Alpha Tauro is a lush garden world populated by nearly ten billion humans. As the seat of the government, its home to the Grand Magistrate and the Senate of Minor Magistrates. Alpha Tauro is known across the Arcturian Empire for its bi-weekly Gladion tournaments, where slaves from across the Confederacy would fight to the death to gain glory, honor and freedom. Career Gladions were common on Alpha Tauro; the most successful of them going on to become celebrities, politicians and military leaders. Gladion tournaments are the only way for a Xeno to potentially gain a seat of significant power within either the government or the military. Xenos who manage this are treated with respect, although racist undertones still exist, even among the highest echelons of society. Alpha Tauro is home to one of the largest garrisons in the Confederacy.

Beta Tauro: Another garden world in the Pictorus System, Beta Tauro has a population of roughly six billion. Beta is known for producing the naval vehicles of the Confederacy. They pride themselves on being responsible for everything from a single seat recreation spaceship to the 3 kilometer long Stardust Keltor class Super-Battleship, the flagship of the Confederate Navy. Beta Tauro is defended by a sizable fleet of active duty military vessels and various marine battalions.

Veneria: Veneria is the regional capital of the Veneras System and home to half a billion citizens. Veneria is a Volcanic world that has been terriformed to allow for relatively comfortable living within bio-domes on the planet's surface. Veneria's surface is covered in factories, forges, motor plants, ship yards, warehouses and all manner of industrial infrastructure. Its military garrison prefers to stay on the space station orbiting Veneria's moon, Yven-2.

Faction/Government Desc: Constitutional Monarchy in practice, the Grand Magistrate holds most of the power compared to the much weaker Senate. Before the Sacking of Almata, the Grand Magistrate reported directly to the Emperor; although they served the Emperor's will, the Confederacy was granted semi-autonomy in most matters. It wasn't until the Emperor disappeared that the Grand Magistrate took full control of the Confederacy until such a time as the Emperor is to reappear. Until then, Dominacus Luprec reported to no one. The Senate had very little say in matters beforehand. Now they are merely a formality.

The Senate is made up of various lower Magistrates who represent the other systems and planets' interests. These Magistrates spend their time lobbying for various political and corporate interest groups, attempting to gain the Grand Magistrate's favor so that he might, in turn, sign their bills into law. It isn't uncommon for powerful corporations to buy out a Magistrate's loyalty and have them lobby in their place. Dominacus recognizes the corruption of the system and generally ignores the less honest requests of the Senate.

History: (Feel free to make up details about the setting and the major powers. I love collaborative worldbuilding, so feel free to work with me and your fellow RPers at building the setting) WIP

Relations with the Empire and Other Factions: The Confederacy of Worlds is loyal to the Empire, even in its apparent last days. The government does not support the Pretenders and goes out of its way to avoid them; disdain for defectors is common and verbal among the citizenry. While most alien races were treated poorly under the Emperor's regime, the Grand Magistrate has become more lenient toward the Xeno since the Sacking of Almata. Currently, the Confederacy is looking to stablize borders and establish trade relationships with friendly independent factions. At the same time, they are on the lookout for other loyalists who are true to the Empire and actively seek military alliances and constant communication with them. Rebuilding the Empire's control in imperial territories is one of the top priorities of the Confederate military.

Military Capabilities: The Confederacy mostly relies on Imperial technology and weapons for its military, although the Research and Development wing on Banu Prime is hard at work on improving the standard weapons and armor of the Empire.

Settler's Clearing, Lost Haven

It wasn't long, perhaps a handful of seconds, before Thunderbolt came speeding into Settler's Clearing. He kicked up a mound of dirt as he tried to slow to a stop. The massive gust of wind created by his arrival knocked the few pre-Spring leaves out of the nearby trees, tossing the greenery into the air. Boom showed up a moment later, slightly out of breath. "How are you so...damn fast?" She asked, placing her hands on her hips. Harvey just shrugged and waltzed closer to Minerva. "Where's your boss?" He asked. The edge in the speedster's voice was obvious. Finding a note in his private residence meant for his other identity was unnerving to say the least. "He'll be arriving soon." She said simply. It was apparent from the inflection in her speech that the secretary wouldn't be answering any of their questions. Those were meant for Arthur. For now, the speedsters hung off to the side, waiting for the man's appearance. Boom tapped her foot rapidly against the dry ground, pounding a hole into the dirt and grass. Harvey placed a tender hand on her shoulder and the tapping ceased. "I'm just-" She began. "-On edge. I know. Me too." Harvey finished. He was trying to keep a level head for the both of them. But he was just as worried as his sister. Something was off about this whole thing. The last time this many heroes were in the same place, two people died.

Icon was the next to enter. His presence eased many of Harvey's fears; if this was indeed a trap, he knew the Hero of Lost Haven would have his back. Thunderbolt glanced to his right and noticed Boom's reddened cheeks. "You okay?" He asked obliviously. "Mmm. Oh yeah." She purred. "You could carve an arrowhead with that chin." Harvey gagged, causing Laura to jam her elbow into his side. "Please, never, ever write romance." He snickered. A single look from the enigmatic super hero caused the two speedsters to turn away. Neither speedster recognized the next two to show up. Although Harvey had read reports about the vehicle Lyger rolled up in; it was quite unique in its appearance. Harvey couldn't help but appreciate the mysterious heroine's choice of attire. Boom put a quick stop to his ogling. "Oh come on! You can stare at pretty boy but I'm not allowed to glance?" Harvey whined quietly. "Perv." Laura muttered with a roll of her eyes.

"You're one to talk. I've seen your computer-" Thunderbolt started, but Laura shoved a finger into his face and interrupted him.

"You want to go there?! At least I haven't been to a strip club!"

"I was tracking a suspect!"

"Really enjoyed that assignment, didn't you?"

"The least you could do is use incognito mode."

"Why you little prick-"

"-Who are you calling little?!"

The two's argument grew progressively louder until it was finally stopped;someone cleared their throat rather excessively, the wordless gesture got their point across well enough: 'shut up, please'. They looked away from each other, turning a shade a red never seen before by man. "Sorry." Thunderbolt apologized timidly. The arrival of a limousine dissipated some the scathing awkwardness of the meeting. Christopher stepped out of the vehicle, dressed as sharply as ever. He addressed the costumed protectors, wordlessly demanding the attention of the speedsters with a story about his latest 'appointment.' He quickly followed it up by trying to 'break the ice' and allow the rest of the heroes to introduce themselves to each other. He started, immediately revealing himself to be Iron knight. "Ha. I knew it." Boom boasted. Thunderbolt stepped forward once Chris was finished. "I guess I'll go next. Uhm, my name is Thunderbolt and this is my sister, Boom." He said with a wave of his hand. "Again, I'd like to apologize on our behalf for our earlier...antics. That was unprofessional of us and I hope we can forget it ever happened and move forward with this working relationship." Harvey tried to said as diplomatic and eloquent as possible; but he feared his words came out jumbled and nervous. He dashed back next to Boom and allowed whoever wanted to continue the introductions.

The next part, the main purpose of the meeting, began in turn. Chris debriefed the heroes on the Pax Metahumana situation. STRIKE already had a full-blown search out for the device, but Iron Knight wanted a back up plan in case everything went to hell and the bomb went off. The last thing the world needed was every Tom, Dick and Harry running around with super powers; not to mention the countless terrorist organizations this would empower. Apparently, Arthur had encountered members of Pax Metahumana before. In an effort to combat them, he wished to recruit a number of individuals who had prior dealings with Metahumana's facilities and garner what intel they could from these people. "Yeah, I've got a question." Boom said once Chris finished. "This 'Winter Soldier', as we're calling him...If he really tried to poison Lost Haven's water supply, how can we be sure he'll be willing to help? Terrorists aren't exactly known for playing nice with others. Even if we manage to take him prisoner, none of us are telepaths (as far as I'm aware) so procuring that information by force will be difficult at best."
