GOVERNMENT

___________________________

Type of Governement: Military Trade Concordat

Description of Governement:

The Government operates with five different worlds in an imperial controlled sector of space near the fringes. These five planets Mirrodin II, Typhus VI, Ahnron, Spehis, and Polyserak. These planets constituted the seats of power in the Federal administration. They are often military leaders and officials of their union, overseeing production, commerce, naval doctrine, army doctrine, and recognition of other alien species as part of the Concordat.

The Concordat consists of roughly 10 planets and assists the Empire in financial and military support. The Concordat also has many other worlds under its fold used for other industrial, agricultural, or other purposes. These are mostly slave worlds, colony worlds, puppet worlds, and assimilated worlds.

Demographics

DEMOGRAPHICS

___________________________

Main race: Human

Minority races:

Gulgaran

Gulgaran’s, the Ice warriors of Nordos Prime. They were once hostile towards human occupation, viewing them weak and incapable of command, they were of course crushed by human forces within the course of three days. The Gulgarans respected the strength displayed by the humans. For the Gulgarans, the first battle determines their opinion of the people they meet, they of course liked the human forces enough to agree to being an auxiliary force after their short tussle.

The Gulgarans are massive, a full two feet taller than the tallest human. The Gulgaran’s believe in honor through both servitude and action, they would rather die in combat than survive a lost battle. They have a slim, tall, but muscular build; they are hairless, and their skin and complexion is similar to that of humans, with color being the only thing that differs. They were not adapted to cold climates, but their planet’s climate shifted rapidly, the Gulgarans needed to adapt. They used their technology to create underground, geo-thermally heated, super-cities; for traversing the surface, they used suits that were armed to the teeth, they were a warrior race, they were always prepared to fight, even in the harshest environments. In fact, their climate was caused by their warfare. The last great war on Nordos Prime ended with gigantic explosives caused by their superweapons, hundreds of thousands crashing into specific areas at once.

The people who were spared from the war continued on for several centuries, most of the radiation has subsided, but their climate has not improved since the war. Being under radiation for so long, the Gulgaran’s might have developed a resistance to the effects, though this has not been thoroughly researched. The Gulgaran’s serve the Emporium loyaly, revering them as gods, masters, prophets. The Gulgaran’s worship humanity to the point of Zealotry. Some Gulgaran’s achieve the rank of War master within the Concordat military due to their sheer loyalty to the Human cause, their loyalty is rewarded as such and used as propaganda to further propagate the Emporium's influence.

Kragat

Excellent engineers, they were discovered on Ronin IV, a small mining world. They lived dormant underground until they met the human explorers. The Humans immediately assumed a very weary action, however they found that the Kragat did not display any intention of fighting. It seems their world harbored little danger to them, with absolutely no natural predators and their strong sense of social unity, they completely went stagnant in terms of weapons development. They did however drown their free time in building and understanding the laws of physics with the very limited amount of knowledge they had.

Once the humans integrated English into the Kragat, they made it mandatory, the Kragat did not like this. However, over the period of time they were under the Concordat and the constant barrage of propaganda, overtime, the English in Kragat society became normalized, and the Concordat made sure that there were no records of the cultural purge.

The Kragat’s underground home was well lit by bio luminescence; they often harvested the creatures around them to create a well-lit environment. The Kragat are an arthropodal race with their DNA closely resembling that of crabs and other crustaceans and Isopods. They have slow metabolisms and require shedding their carapace every ten months. Their pacifism has made them easy to enslave, and with more well-placed propaganda and neo-colonialist tactics, they’ve been absorbed into the human workforce.

Their multiple limbs, high hand eye coordination, tough exoskeletons, and overall high dexterity and complex understanding of blueprints make them an amazing workforce for building and engineering works.

Furok

The newest of the subjugated races of the concordat. The Furok, also known as the businessmen of Azure Montal an artificial world – once the center of trade – where they would conduct business, they offered their starcharts and their business experience in exchange for their autonomy. They had no way of fighting, it seemed they were much interested in business and profiteering. The Concordat, being a military backed trade committee was very interested in what they could bring to the table, of course the negotiations were stiff, as the humans of the Concordat would take no less than 70% of their total profit, and on top of that all of their transactions must be overseen by a military presence.

The Furok agreed, they were not fickle with how much they earn, just so long as they could spend it. The Furok bought themselves a lofty life within the Concordat, and subsequently the Emporium. While to the dismay of humanity, they were the engines of commerce, and one could not argue that they were highly effective con artists and businessmen.

The Furok look short, around 3’6-4’4 in height; their build is somewhat bloated and their hair was short and white; their complexion was rough and warty and their skin was colored a light brown. They were sometimes called derogatory names such as “Frog Skins”, “Midgets”, and “Wannabe Suits”. They didn’t mind the names, they had profit, they had shares all over the Emporium, and a single rebellion could jeopardize those shares. They’d throw money at the problem, buying and funding whatever would make the bad thing disappear. The Concordat was perfect for these Shrewd, and repulsive businessmen.

The Anuvayash

The Anuvayash or in English, The Metal Ones, are a mere six percent of the entire population, the lowest of all the species that make up the concordat. They are an abandoned race of sentient computers and robots whose design was immaculate with clear intentions to make them serviceable to a public demographic. The Anuvayash and their creators were destroyed during the Triangulum war, and the Anuvayash were commandeered by the Concordat. Though the Anuvayash were sentient, they had no qualms, their main purpose in life was to serve. They made an excellent slave race, but instead of being put to use to construction, they were put to use in A.I. and ship design roles.

The Anuvayash’s creators were somewhat militaristic, however, their ships quickly fell to the might of the Concordat. The Anuvayash – a spoil of war – was quickly subdued, their creation matrix, studied, reverse engineered, and remade. New A.I. machines that were completely submissive. The Anuvayash’s creators were brilliant in making sure that the Anuvayash wasn’t too advanced, it couldn’t learn new things, it could only do what it was programed to do. The Anuvayash could operate individually without a signal and will only respond to authorized personnel. The Creators of the Anuvayash also contributed many other technologies, such as a new ship engine called the Electromagnetic Ion Drive (EID) and drone tech.

The Electromagnetic Ion Drive used an ionized field manipulated by an electromagnetic pulse to propel the ship, this method of travel used a fraction of the fuel compared to what the normal method of transportation used. The drone tech was much the same with the Anuvayash themselves, they could operate independently and obey orders by authorized personnel. Codes for Anuvayash controls would change every other day, and each code was unique for each officer of a certain ship or sector. The Anuvayash are also strictly controlled. They were dangerous in the wrong hands; thus they were monitored, and had to pass certain regulations, making them a luxury item in the Concordat. For military use, the Drone technology was further advanced and was used to help fill out the ranks of the Concordat starfighter corps; they also used EID’s on their ships to make travel more efficient.

Overall, the Anuvayash, are subservient, sentient, yet limited robots. In other cases, they are also used as security on some planets. Other times they’re used alongside Gulgarans as an assault force. They are however, extremely fragile, and only served as another weapon that could fire back at the enemy to soften them up before the main-force crushes them.

Demography(Min 20% humans):

Throughout the Concordat consisting of billions of individuals

60% is Human
13% is Gulgaran
10% is Kragat
11% is Furok
6% is Anuvayash

Religion & Culture

---

Religion

---

The Gulgarans believe that Humans are powerful beings, wise, old, and incredibly intelligent. They are nearly fanatical in their loyalty. The Gulgarans believe that if they serve humanity well and with honor, they will be rewarded in the afterlife; how they’re rewarded depends on how much they’ve achieved in their life, thus their fanaticism.

The Humans revere the Emperor, even more so than the Gulgarans revere the Human race. They believe him to be a god, a savior, an almighty force. They are Truly fanatical.

---

Culture

---

The Concordat is a human founded Autonomous nation that focuses on business, technological development, propaganda, and strong military presence. The Concordat culture is diverse due to the Xeno races that it managed to subjugate. The Gulgarans and Furok are the major contributors to these ethics.

History

___________________________

HISTORY OF THE CONCORDAT

___________________________

The Concordat dates back to the start of the war for the Triangulum. They were a human expeditionary and colony force. They ventured into unexplored territory when they were cut off from Emporium high command. There they settled five planets and grew outwards. They remained loyal to the Emperor, and with each conquered civilization, they found new technologies that solidified Imperial dominance in the Triangulum.

The Concordat was signed in Mirrodin, as without a governing force, they had to govern themselves for the majority of twenty-three years. The Concordat in that time span managed to defeat, exterminate, and dethrone entire empires. The leadership and resourcefulness of the Expeditionary Force’s commanders were more than a match to what the Xenos could throw at them. This led to them becoming reigning council members of the Concordat government system.

When the dust settled and they were reestablished with the Emporium, they were given special commendations and their region became autonomous. Their loyalty to the Emperor for the twenty-three years without contact was rewarded graciously. They had free reign to construct ships, explore, and subjugate any planet that interested them. Of course, the Emporium still sees the Concordat as part of the Imperial fold, and in many ways, they are. They are fanatical in their service to the Emperor, they see Xenos as lesser beings, albeit with a few exceptions, which the Emporium have found to be quite useful. They exert the demands of the Emporium when they are commanded to as that is their duty to the Emperor. Despite their similarities, their ships vastly differ in design due to the Twenty-Three year divergence, their entire time spent away from the empire as an Exploratory and colonial force was put to use. Their entire fleet was equipped to turn planets into bustling cities within months. Their military and first contact routines are also different, however they are still -as a whole- a lot like the Emporium, with demands such as “Surrender your planet” and “You are to only buy Concordat products” and other such things.

They have several planets, ten of which are considered Emporium loyal and are the source of power in the Concordat. Other planets and worlds have experienced population culling, rapid industrialization, enslavement, and planet stripping. The Concordat use all of these to free up real estate, create thousands of ships and products, provide a labor force for the emporium, and create a large resource pool to pull from. The Concordat’s main strategy is to use its military might to impose the will of the Emporium and subjugate a planet, they will then annex it using propaganda and culture culling in order to make the xeno population easier to manipulate, at the end of those processes the Xeno planet in question will no longer have the will and reason to oppose their rule. Some have openly invited Human colonization, others were just too easy to enslave, and others still bargained for their freedom. Those were the only exceptions that the Concordat ever made.

Important Characters

IMPORTANT CHARACTERS

___________________________

JULIUS KAVERAN

Grand Magisterial Viceroy

Julius was an Ensign during the expansion wars in the Concordat. After twenty-three years and many dead officers, Lord High Marshal Kaveran became the leader of the Concordat. Back then, the highest seat of power was Lord, but when the Emporium came, they assisted with the governmental reforms; Kaveran became Grand Magisterial Viceroy, he was to be the iron fist of the emporium in their sector.

Kaveran himself was not a man of words, he was a man of action and he demanded such. The Concordat became his tool to better serve the Emperor, to better serve mankind and those who would worship it. He was cunning, smart, strict, and most of all, he was ruthless. He served the emperor like a lap dog, for this, he and the Concordat itself received additional benefits. But do not let his brutality fool you, he is as sophisticated and cunning as three Grand Admirals and has the same training and combat experience as a Gulgaran, a warrior race. Many find Julius to be a fitting leader for the Concordat and praise the Emperor for making him such.

Kaveran and the Emperor have had short discussions about the Expansion wars, he had to do some explaining as to why Xenos were given such liberties as they had given them. He of course answered, “because it was beneficial”, and found himself staring into the stars naming each and every system that the Concordat had exterminated life on, he continued with his explanation,

“The races of this galaxy are beneficial, I merely use them as tools – a means to an end. The Concordat gives these liberties simply because they displayed obedience and subservience. I simply rewarded their loyalty, they are after all tools, and even tools need a simple cleaning, a touchup, an upgrade. I believe they can serve us better in their current position and their current liberties, ensuring their loyalty, because even loyalty can be bought, however, the best kind of loyalty is genuine.”

He took a sip of his wine and afterwards wiped his beard, he then turned to look the Emperor in the eye standing straight as he did and continued.

“My lord Emperor, I have exterminated, purged, and purified many Xeno worlds, but that is only because they were deemed too radical to live; I have enslaved and subjugated a countless more, simply because they were weak; but the xenos that have liberties now have displayed an undying loyalty to not only the Concordat or the Emporium, but to mankind itself. They EARNED their way to where they are now, and they earned it after twenty-three years of loyal service to the Concordat which justifies why I gave them those liberties. However, if you would wish of me to get rid of them, or tighten up our leash with them, I will gladly do so my Lord.”

JAMES MOTT

Lord Grand Inquisitor

James Mott, a sly, shrewd, and secretive individual. He was inducted into the military at a young age, he became the interest of the intelligence bureau when they found he was able to steal enemy plans from behind their lines. He was not only an active agent, but he was a cunning strategist and he was a shrewd investigator. He masterminded the manipulation of the Kragats, and set up the devastation that brought the Anuvayash’s creators, the Adwani to crumble.

He was not renowned, he was never acknowledged, or thanked for his work, he was a spymaster, no one thanks a spymaster. As a person, James was overly talkative, he would spout things out, he was a blabber mouth; this did not contribute well to his esteemed image, but it put most at ease around him. It let everyone who didn’t know about his job, his work, feel comfortable sharing secrets with him. This allowed him, the Concordat, and ultimately, the Emporium know what their people were thinking, and it helped that he was also in good terms with a few Xenos as he was once a criminal. He knew people who would provide information based on his background, he was street smart. This made all the difference when determining which worlds to put heavy patrols on.

Because of his elusive and manipulative nature, he is called the “Whisperer” among his enemies. He incites fear, people are so afraid of him manipulating them they’re afraid to plan anything against the Concordat, fearing that he may be manipulating them into planning something. And most of the time, they’re right fear.

JULIA GREYSTONE

Lord Grand Admiral

She is the first, and only female officer to reach a lord’s position in any branch of the military. There are four branches and four lords, Lord Grand Arbiter, Lord Grand Admiral, Lord Grand Marshal, Lord Grand Inquisitor; the Lord Grand Arbiter looks oversees the Auxiliary forces, the Lord Grand Admiral oversees the fleets, the Lord Grand Marshal oversees the army, and finally, the Lord Grand Inquisitor oversees internal security and intelligence gathering, they are like spymasters but they operate as both sword rather than the needle.

Julia Greystone, is as ruthless as she is voluptuous, with fine red hair usually neatly tied in a bun, and rubenesque figure. She is strategically brilliant and aggressive, many Xenos now know her by the name of the Huntress. Her strategy is to chase down an enemy, even indirectly, in order to finish them off, not many have escaped her grasp. To the Humans, she is a symbol of power due to her gender, and her many triumphs. She is however headstrong, and will not retreat until she is absolutely certain that she will lose in combat, and because of this trait, many die under her command. She is also often referred to by her men as Julia “Gravestone” due to the many that have died for her pride.

VALARIAN MARDUKE

Lord Grand Arbiter

Valarian had the worst lords job in the concordat, but he was undeterred by this. Valarian prided himself with the discipline and coordination of his Auxiliary corps, he is known by the derogatory name of “Circus Master”. The Auxiliary consisted of Gulgarans, Anuvayash drones, and Furok infantry. The Furok, while short in stature, contributed their most able-bodied personnel, they were usually more well-groomed than a regular Furok, thus they were less warty and pathetic. The Auxiliary Corps always goes in first before the main army, and Valarian oversees the actions of each Arbiter in the Concordat.

Overly excessive losses were still punishable, even though they were just Xeno Auxiliary and drones. Auxiliaries still cost money, and further, the expenses to equip each Auxiliary is quite expensive, thus the Auxiliary have to be fairly decent. Valarian himself commands the Auxiliary to such a degree that the main force was never needed in most combat situations. Many downplay his actions, but not his fellow Lords. He was pragmatic about the Xenos in the military, sure they were Xenos but he thought, “Why waste a chance to bolster our forces?” and he has time and time again proven this to be necessary. Most men are still apprehensive about armed Xenos but they can’t deny that they enjoy the cannon fodder taking most of the fire for them.

WILLIAM MERLOCK

Lord Grand Marshal

William Merlock, a tactful, skilled, and disciplined commander of the Concordat armed forces. He, like many others have experienced successes that allows him to bolster his esteemed reputation. His calm, quiet, apathy allows him to out-pace his enemies, thinking several steps ahead even before the battle began; scenario upon scenario upon scenario upon scenario. He was precise and patient when it came to his duties as Lord Grand Marshal. He was held just as high as Julia herself, and as tendency of human culture, sometimes they're mistaken to be a couple. Merlock is also the one of the few who commend Valarian with his exploits. Auxiliaries to Merlock are as important as flour in bread.

William and Valarian work closely together, they often share ideas and have frequent exchanges in terms of tactics and strategy. However, it is clear that Valarian is the better of the two when it comes to guerrilla warfare. William is a posh man, he has standards, even in warfare. His enemies call him the “Red Gentleman”, his men call him the “Governor”, he himself likes these nicknames and continues to make these his traits. He is careful not to be too predictable, he has lost to Velarian because of his standards. Being the leader of the army, it couldn't have been more damaging for his reputation. However, he didn't mind, Valarian needed the recognition if he was to be seen as a competent commander.

CCC-20 CARRIER – HARBINGER CLASS

Also known as the Triple-C

___________________________

The Harbinger Class carrier functioned more like a mobile space station, it didn’t nearly have enough armaments for its size. It made up for its lack of armaments with an advanced repair station and a large fighter/bomber complement. It was usually used to occupy the space above a planet with two fleets of destroyers.

The Harbinger Class is rarely seen in battlefield. A Harbinger Class is only brought to a battlefield when the enemy in question either have too many enemy fighters or many large capital ships. The Harbinger Class can also fill in for the dreadnoughts, but without the weapons complement of the Dreadnaughts, they have a reduced fighting capacity.

10km Diameter
5km Height (At highest point)
150 Starfighters and Bomber squads
3500 point defense turrets
1300 Heavy Laser canons
2000 Heavy Railguns

___________________________

CDC-40 DREADNOUGHT – OVERSEER CLASS

___________________________

The Overseer Class dreadnoughts are large war ships designed to take on several capital ships and win. It is usually brought into combat when the fighting is too tough for the regular fleet of destroyers. The Dreadnought has a decent amount of fighters and bombers, not nearly as plentiful as the Harbinger, but it makes up for it with a number of heavy armaments.

The large ship is often what a blockade would use to deter escape. The ship, like many in the Concordat uses EID’s to propel themselves. The ship thousands of weapons allow it to destroy enemy ships, and due to its design, the ship can fire in almost any direction. Because of this many who have tried to capture a Dreadnought have failed, underestimating the sheer amount of fire power it outputs. The Dreadnoughts can be put down, but after a significant amount of fire. At that point, the Dreadnought control center dislodges itself from the rest of the ship and jumps into FTL.

13km Diameter
5km height (At the apex of the slope)
5750 Heavy Railguns
3950 Missile Batteries
1750 Torpedo Tubes
2150 Heavy Laser Canon Batteries
3300 point defense turrets
50 Starfighter and Bomber Squads

___________________________

CDC-40B DESTROYER – JUDICATOR CLASS

___________________________

The Backbone of the Concordat navy, the Judicator Class enforces Imperial rule in the galaxy, accompanying patrols, participating in battles, and enacting fleet actions such as orbital bombardments. The Destroyer is heavily armed, and has a decently sized fighter complement for its size. While the Destroyer is not as well armed as the Dreadnought, it is usually enough for any given occasion.

The Destroyer is a symbol of power in the Concordat and it is a ship to contend with, while not as armored as a dreadnought, its many heavy weapon emplacements make short work of an enemy ship, while its fighter complement allows it to screen enemy fighters effectively. The Frigates and cruisers serve support roles by screening enemy fighters or for providing additional fire power. The Destroyer usually comes in groups of three with several smaller ships, typically three frigates and two cruisers. Gulgaran ships can also be seen assisting Destroyers when needed.

2Km Diameter
0.5Km height
1500 Heavy Railguns
450 Missile Batteries
200 Torpedo tubes
510 Heavy Laser Canon Batteries
950 Point Defense turrets
8 Starfighter and Bomber Squads

___________________________

CC-40 CRUISER – ENFORCER CLASS

___________________________

The Enforcer Class is the planetary patrol ship, with a small fighter complement and an even smaller amount of weapons, it doesn’t pack quite the punch. It does however pack a sting, with several heavy railguns and missile batteries, the Enforcer can cripple a ship by aiming for its most vulnerable and important hardpoints. However, in a direct engagement, depending on the ship it’s facing, the Enforcer might take too much damage to continue.

The Enforcer usually travel in packs of Five, with three of those five being Enforcers, and two of them being Guardian classes, these are called hunting packs; they actively seek out enemy ships to cripple, and after doing their job, they can judge whether to call in a Destroyer or destroy it themselves.

0.5km Diameter
0.2km Height (At the apex of the slope)
500 Heavy Railguns
200 Missile Batteries
400 Point Defense turrets
2 Starfighter and Bomber Squads

___________________________

CS-4D FRIGATE – GUARDIAN CLASS

___________________________

The Guardian Class Frigate is small, it doesn’t have any major armaments aside from torpedo tubes and missile batteries. The Guardian Class acts as a fighter screen and assists hunting packs with their torpedo tubes and missiles, their point defense turrets also help filter the sky of unwanted missile projectiles.

The frigate also assists in landing operations, as it also functions as a small cargo ship. The Frigate is the smallest of the Concordat designed vessels, however, it is big enough to carry troops and large equipment onto the battlefield.

0.2km diameter
0.1km height
400 Point defense turrets
10 Torpedo Tubes
150 Missile Batteries.

___________________________

XM-55 GULGARAN CRUISER – CRUSADER CLASS

___________________________

The Gulgaran Cruiser is a ship that is smaller than the rest of the Concordat fleet. The Gulgaran ships were created with one goal, to wage war. Their design philosophy is vastly different from that of the Concordat. They designed their ships to be numerous and easily replaceable. The Concordat approved their designs and build them alongside their main fleet of ships.

The Gulgaran Crusader Class is often seen in non-standard formations of the Concordat fleet. They are often deployed in groups of five without the main battleship to assist in Concordat operations or assist in large Fleet battles.

0.5 Km length
0.1 Km width (At widest point)
10 Dual Heavy Railgun turrets
2 Mass Accelerator Canons
1 Dual Heavy Particle Laser Canons

___________________________

XM-100 GULGARAN BATTLESHIP – PURIFIER CLASS

___________________________

The Gulgaran purifier class assists in orbital bombardment, its large gamma burst weapon more capable of irradiating its target on the ground effectively glassing a small area. When they are grouped in large numbers they can cleanse the surface of a planet in mere days. The numbers required however is so large that it would take a few weeks to even begin having any noticeable effect.

The Gulgaran Battleship is decently armed, thus the Concordat assigns them to Hunter packs to cripple enemy ships. Their gamma weapon – which is can be aimed at a 45 degree angle – helps in weakening armor as it heats it up, effectively making it either brittle or soft.

1.2 km length
0.3 km width (At widest point)
1 Super-Heavy Gamma Burst Cannon
20 Heavy Torpedo tubes
150 point defense turrets
50 Heavy Laser Batteries
50 Heavy Rail Gun Batteries

___________________________

XC-2B GULGARAN FRIGATE – HUNTER CLASS

___________________________

The Gulgaran Hunter Class frigate is the opposite of its XC-2A counterpart. It focuses on its many weapons and strength in large groups. It is never seen alone, it accompanies hunting packs and Gulgaran Battleships. It participates in large fleet battles and is one of the most recognizable ships in the Gulgaran Fleet.

Their use in combat can almost be seen as downright brutal. The Frigate has a small crew and many weapons, but the armor is quite thin compared to most ships. When it is out of munitions, and the ship is heavily damaged, the crew will attempt to ram enemy vessels to inflict heavy damage. Often the crew do not survive.

0.3 km length
0.2 km width (At widest point)
40 missile turret batteries
50 point defense turrets
40 Heavy torpedo tubes
10 Heavy railguns
2 Heavy Laser Batteries

___________________________

XC-2A GULGARAN FRIGATE – PROWLER CLASS

___________________________

This Gulgaran Frigate is known as the Prowler for a reason. It’s sleek elegant design, coupled with an experimental stealth unit allows it to sneak up on enemy vessels and inflict heavy damage with its torpedoes. However this frigate is mostly used to stalk enemy fleet movement and will report back anything it finds through encrypted comms.

Since the stealth unit is experimental and is dangerous in the wrong hands, the crew of the vessel either resort to a ramming action or self-destruct sequences to ensure that the Stealth unit never falls into enemy hands.

0.5 km length
0.2km width (At widest point)
1 Stealth Unit
1 Super-Heavy Ion Particle Canon
20 missile turret batteries
10 point defense turrets
20 Heavy torpedo tube
4 Heavy Railguns
2 Heavy Laser Batteries

___________________________

XV-34 GULGARAN TROOP TRANSPORT – INTERVENTION CLASS

___________________________

The Gulgaran Troop transport, the most reliable vessel for ferrying troops and equipment planet side. Its thirty-five gunships allow it to quickly unload troops onto the planet. It ferries Gulgarans, Humans, and Furok infantry alike, the ship is often called the “nest” as soldiers leave it to go and fight.

The Troop Transport is reliable and dependable, but it has no notable armaments, only enough to protect itself. Its gunships are its best bet to make it out of a fleet confrontation alive, it was never designed to enter combat, it just ferries a large amount of troops.

0.4km length
0.2 km width (At widest point)

SSF TYPE 22 FIGHTER-BOMBER – LOCUST

___________________________

The locust is an air superiority multi-role craft that can be armed with dual chin auto-canons and several explosive munitions. The Locust is one of the most reliable strike craft that the Concordat has to offer, solidly built and well maintained.

___________________________

ISC TYPE-3A INTERCEPTOR DRONE – HORNET

___________________________

The Hornet Drone, they are the smaller than the Type 22 and much cheaper to manufacture, they are launched in order to help fill the sky with fighters, overwhelming the enemy with superior numbers. They are very fragile, but with what they lack in durability they make up for in their cheap build and ease of use.

___________________________

ATG-45 TROOP GUNSHIP – CHARIOT

___________________________

The Chariot is a mobile troop gunship that can hold two squads of humans or four squads of Furok infantry or one squad of Gulgaran Warband. It has a dual chin mounted laser auto-canon able to suppress the enemy forces on the ground, and provide air support if needed. The Chariot is also highly mobile with a high top speed and agility that can match very nearly match a strike fighter. It is so effective with air support that some variants come with winglets that contain missile pods. Overall a very versatile support gunship.

ELITE GUARDSMAN

___________________________

The Guardsmen are some of the most elite the Concordat have to offer. They are equipped with the best technologies and armed with the most intense secondary training that the Military has to offer.

Guardsmen are either selected straight from the Military academies or from the other regiments. The duties of a Guardsman is to garrison planets, protect government officials, and suppress local rebellions with minimal effort. The Guardsmen are few in number but are high in experience and training.

Among the Guardsmen are Gulgarans and Humans. The Gulgarans themselves make great Guardsmen, however, only the most ferocious and loyal Gulgarans are ever presented the opportunity to become a Guardsman.

___________________________

CONCORDAT SHOCK TROOPER

___________________________

The standard Shock trooper doesn’t have much in terms of equipment. They are armed with the basic set of armor, their weapons of choice, and a few grenades. The Concordat Shock Trooper are trained to excel in small group tactics, guerrilla operations, and sabotage. They are the second most numerable branch of the Concordat Army.

They are used for outflanking the enemy and harrying enemy logistics. They’ve been instrumental in many ground conflicts in the past. The selection process for a Shock Trooper is very difficult as the training will be twice that difficulty. The Shock Troopers get this treatment during their training to instill discipline, being behind enemy lines is dangerous and good training can make the difference between life and death.

___________________________

CONCORDAT TROOPER

___________________________

Trained up to the standard, armored to the standard, and armed to the standard. The regular trooper corps is the most numerous in the Concordat military. They are the main infantry corps of the concordat besides the Auxiliary. Their armor can stand up to .9 – 5.56 mm ammunition, they can discharge energy around the body and act like a faraday cage, and have a high resistance to temperature changes.

The Concordat cares for their troopers and actively seeks to improve their fighting potential. Like their versatile cousins – the shock troopers – the Concordat Troopers also have their choice in weapons, and a few grenades. The weapons available to them is much more diverse than what is available to the shock troopers, like Heavy Machine Guns, Rocket Launchers, Flame Throwers, Heavy Laser canons, etc.

CONCORDAT SNIPER

___________________________

The Sniper corps is a branch of the Army that has its roots in the intelligence bureau. The Snipers of the Concordat are armed with various precision rifles, a modified helmet, and ITE-Cloak. The Modified helmet allows the user to see into the Infrared and thermal like the standard, however, the helmet also allows the user to see into ultraviolet and X-ray. The ITE-Cloak or Infrared, Thermal, and Electronic cloak, makes the user near invisible in the eyes of a thermal or infrared lens while also making electronic aids malfunction, such as cameras, scanners, and other such tools.

The sniper has been used in many situations such as government assassinations, espionage, and sabotage. They have been instrumental for the fall and subjugation of many worlds thus the Sniper corps is the third most numerous branch, yet the least well known.

___________________________

CONCORDAT COMBAT ENGINEER

___________________________

The Sapper Corps is armed as much as a regular trooper. An engineer is equipped with tools and an arm pad that has an in-built scanner. The Combat Engineer has dedicated anti armor roles, repair roles, sapper roles, and logistics roles. The Engineer can engage in combat in entrenched positions, repair vehicles and structures in a combat zone, disarm explosives, lay mines and booby traps, set up a forward operating base, and operate fixed defensive positions such as artillery posts and machine gun nests.

The Sapper Corps are the backbone of logistics and the powerhouse of the mechanized combat units. Without them, mechanized combat would be close to impossible against heavily defended positions and prolonged warfare would be near suicidal. It is well documented in history that Combat Engineers have played a crucial role in attrition based combat. In the documentation, Combat Engineers have contributed to a 44.25% decrease in casualties due to their role in both repair and defensive entrenchment. They are currently the hardest to apply to academically as the Sappers owe their success largely to their mathematics ability and advanced architecture.

___________________________

CONCORDAT COMBAT MEDIC

___________________________

The Medical Corps, the must have of any squad. The medical corps have helped many lives operating in and out of combat. They have been crucial in wars where weapons of mass destruction have been used, such as places where chemical, biological, and radioactive weapons have done a sufficient amount of damage. The medical corps operate not just on the humans but also the Xeno locals of the planet. This, coupled with propaganda, helps swing public favor.

Their actions have led to faction splitting in certain zones of combat, making some portion of the population Emporium loyal. With the support of the locals, most rebellions are short lived. The Medical corps are also responsible with reducing mortality rates in combatants, however, they are still counted in the casualties as W.I.A. (Wounded In Action). Depending on how severe the damage is, they will mark a dash and a letter. The letter’s NCE mean “non-combat effective”, meaning the wounds have severely crippled the soldier beyond combat fitness; the letters RCI mean “recovering combat injury”, meaning that the wound is enough to cripple the man, but not enough to render him unfit for duty; and lastly MUC mean “mentally unstable for combat”, meaning that a soldier has suffered trauma beyond physical injury and requires treatment in a specialized facility.

Soldiers have terms for these W.I.A. codes, NCE is often referred to as “Knocked” meaning Knocked Out; RCI on the other hand is referred to as “Rocky”, meaning the soldier’s condition is shaky but not knocked; lastly, MUC is often referred to as “Mucked” it is used with terms like, “Mucked up” or “Mucked in the head.” Soldiers are glad there are medics around, but they dislike the fact that medics now use these slang words in order to refer to a W.I.A.

___________________________

GULGARAN INFANTRY

___________________________

The Gulgarans pride themselves in close quarter combat, they are the shock-and-awe troopers. They are often very durable due to their exo-suits which they themselves develop. Gulgarans often drop with the regular Shock troopers to confuse the enemy in close combat, humans often watch in amazement as Gulgarans rip their foes apart in such ferocity with their hard-light Arc blades.

They also possess great weapons proficiency and operate well in small numbers. The Gulgarans are a prideful, honor bound race of warriors that train hard and willingly sacrifice themselves for the betterment of mankind. This has led to some troops considering them as close allies, however most find it quite hard to adapt to such loyalty displayed by a Xeno.

___________________________

FUROK INFANTRY

___________________________

Short, but armed, the Furok infantry display such tenacity in combat that it is hard to believe they are Furok at all. The Furok Infantry battalions adhere to such a disciplined fighting stance that it is almost reminiscent of old Human fighting styles, line formations, and unison firing. This combat doctrine is referred to by the Furok as a sweeping tactic. An overwhelming amount of fire in a single direction combined with the maneuverability of other forces to sweep away enemy opposition. This tactic works for the Furok because of their small stature, they can find cover much easier and traverse terrain with much less worry than bigger profile individuals such as Gulgarans or the Regular Human.

The Furok have been used to great effect with this advantage, however their short stature also means that they aren’t as mobile as Gulgarans or Regular humans. To counter this, the Valarian has made it so that the Furok hold choke points where their doctrine would be best suited to combat a given situation, they are then supported by much more maneuverable forces as they go around the enemy and outflank them – surround them. This has led to the Furok being known as the Gatekeepers.

___________________________

ANUVAYASH DRONES

___________________________

There are three essential Drones in this cast, the preliminary Scout Drone, the Ripper Drones, and the Combat Drone. These three combat, suited drones help in both engineering, reconnaissance, and air superiority. The Drones are only deployed when more troops can’t be spared to a given location. Their usage is very limited due to the Emporium’s fear of an A.I. uprising, however after several years in service, they have proven to be incorruptible and useful. They are however fragile, thus they are inexpensive.

The Anuvayash drones are more limited than their Ship A.I. cousins, thus they are less sophisticated and less creative. Their personalities are so suppressed and identical that they even mimic the monotony of the old ship computer systems. They are also susceptible to E.M.P. weapons, however this has not stopped the Concordat deploying more and more of them each year. The Drones themselves are just that, Drones, they are not as smart nor sentient as their A.I. cousins, which by themselves are also held back by the fears of mankind. The suppression of A.I. learning, and the short service span of A.I. lead to mass deletion of A.I. and remaking them using the Anuvayash Creation Matrices. These ensure that A.I., even when suppressed, never have the chance to learn beyond what it is capable of, and ensures that rampancy is kept in check. A secondary failsafe is installed in an A.I. and that is a corruption code that renders the A.I. inert and unable to function. Humanity closely guards these secrets in their research facilities, researching methods of suppressing the Anuvayash further.

The different drones

---

SCOUT DRONE

---

They were used by Combat engineers to a large extent due to their ability to remotely hack, survey, repair, and go into deep dark places that were too small for Engineers to reach.

---

RIPPER DRONE

---

Ripper drones are modified scout drones with many added combat features and swarm mentality. They added a direct command featured for field commanders and infantry. Their simplified A.I. will respond to the threat with anyway they see fit. They attack with such ferocity and barbarity that they are kept secret from public eye. This barbarity gave it the name "Ripper" as it rips its opponents inside out, tearing bone, muscle, entrails, flesh, etc. it can also rip apart armored vehicles with a laser drill attachment.

The Safety features that were added were FID tags, direct control option, and a self-destruct/mass shutdown of drones. Copies of the drones have been made, however the programming is difficult to replicate, thus it is very rare to see them being used by any enemy threat.

---

THE COMBAT DRONE

---

The regular combat drone is used by many private companies as localized security. The military uses slightly more advanced drones for protracted warfare. They are dispensable, weak, but numerous. The military uses them to supplement a numbers disadvantage and they've displayed to have remarkable accuracy. The same security principles apply to them as they do with the Ripper Drones.

___________________________

BRIMSTONE TANK

___________________________

The Brimstone T-76S has a large stature and thick armor and a huge caliber railgun that’s placed on the turret, loading heavy tungsten rods and firing them at Mach 2. The tank is unique because it also has an artillery mode, it lengthens the rails are lengthened and excess energy is driven into the firing mechanism. The tank fires faster, farther, and past Mach 4. The effect on target is devastating as the rod rips through its target and shatters the earth splintering into thousands of tungsten pieces.

The Brimstone is the frontline tank of choice for the Concordat. Though its design is old, it remains effective, and there is yet a tank to match its range and still remain reliable in all kinds of terrain. Artillery crew have disassembled and enlarged the tank’s rails and energy source to create their own version of the artillery gun. They’ve adapted the rod design to fit into a shell filled with high explosives. It was designed not to rip apart in flight and impact with more force than the tanks gun.

___________________________

ASSAULT WALKERS

___________________________

An old relic of the past, still used today with heavy modifications. They are useful for shock-and-awe tactics in open terrain, armed with their high caliber munitions and high explosives. They are able to lay down heavy fire, carry supplies, and support troops in urban combat acting as a mobile heavy weapons platform.

These assault platforms use the streets and alleys of the urban combat like hallways and corridors, often throwing grenades or partially blowing up structures to reveal enemy positions reminiscent of breach and clear operations. They are usually supported by gunships or sniper teams as they require some support to spot enemy targets.

Project Exodus

Hider

A Collab between Liotrent and @Necroknight

In Sweden, Heinrich and Brandon were relaying orders left and right within the command tent. The entire garrison was mobilized for a good fight, the missile stations were ready, all Heinrich needed to do was get some calls through to the AESR and Britain.

"Get those calls through!" Heinrich barked, ordering the comms officer to get a clear comms channel. Brandon kept track of the spread of the attacks, reports comming in all over, from Italy, Egypt, and all the way across asia. "This is a fucking mess..." grunted the old man, Brandon couldn't believe the scale of it, it was like the second world war all over again.

It took some time, as there was much chaos around - but eventually his com-officer managed to get into contact with the current leader of AESR. Likely, cause they didn't bother of making a Gate in the first place and weren't stuck in such a situation.

Soon enough, the figure of a blond woman, in a gray suit appeared on their screen - with the numerous other members of AESR in the background. "This is President Anna Bērziņš. What is going on here? What is this madness unleashed?" she called, her German being heavily accented but understandable.

The Comms officer shot up and said, "Sir, line's yours!" and in a moment, the seats shifted, and a man in formal military dress filled his place. "This the Germanic Republic's Secretary of Defense, Army Field marshal, and current Commander-in-Chief, Heinrich Erikson speaking..." His words carried heavy responsibility, so many titles, as was the governing system in the Republic. "Not to dawdle any longer madam president, but the Germanic Republic has suffered the loss of our city; every inch of land around the Germanic Republic is being consumed by creatures that have come from the ga-..." He paused for a moment as his ensign whispers in his ear.

"Forgive the interuption, but we're getting reports that the Vatican has fallen and the rest of Italy's leadership with it. The situation is dire madam President, we are asking for aid in these times." His expression was grim, every minute that passes is a hundred people killed; he couldn't help but feel betrayed by Legacy, especially when they promised progress.

"Yes...we can see it happening from our screens," replied Anna, as they had a direct connection with everything happening around Europe, America, Asia and so-on. Except that they were the only ones, amongst some other small nations whom didn't invest in the miracle progress solution.

"What are you asking from us?" she asked - keeping it civil for the time being. Despite the fact, that most of AESR had been butting heads with the Germans ever since they regained their sovereignty in 1999. It was kind of ironic now - as those whom had been forgotten in a War long ago - had the same people begging at their doorstep now.

"Our armed forces are being mobilized...not to mention we need to fortify our border with the Russian Federation - I assume you know of the nuclear detonation in Siberia," she added - indicating that whatever help they could offer might not be...much. Although, she didn't mention about the Missile Defense Network. Namely, beside the Americans, Israelis and Russians - the missile technology of AESR was fourth in the world. Intelligence reports stating that AESR likely had enough missiles to level two hundred cities on either side if it wanted.

Heinrich nodded silently, considering the AESR's position. He let out sigh, "The nuclear detonation in Siberia surprised us. Siberia is a remote location, desolate, a dessert of ice and snow." He paused, looking at the gate locations, "There are no plausible reasons for them to have nuked that location. Unless, there is something we're missing. But I digress, The Germanic Republic is trying to get Britain on the line, we're trying to coordinate hypersonic missile strikes on every state that has fallen in the last few hours."

Heinrich gestured Brandon to move aside so that the map was in plain veiw. "I'm sure you're already aware, but the following countries that have fallen are Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Netherlands. Britain is currently holding, but the London gate is becoming problematic, as is the Berlin gate." Another soldier came into the tent, "Sir! 5th Wiking reporting their situation in Austria! They're getting some trouble from the South!"

Brandon immediately ordered, "Tell them to retreat towards the Alpen territory, they won't make it towards the east, relay the order for the garrisons in the east of Austria to start fortifying their locations and tell them to prepare for a long war!" Heinrich looked back at the screen, "It seems Austria is now in the firing line, Switzerland might hold for a while longer, but they won't hold indefinitely." He marked the locations on the map while a Comms officer rattled off the coordinates. "We don't have much time" his face portraying stress, indicating that time was of the essence.

"If your worried about refugees going for our borders - you don't have to worry about that. Our border guards have been mobilized," she replied. Or namely, they were simply told to prepare for arrivals. Compared to the rest of the 'Western civilized Europe' - the nations of AESR had directly refused to accept any refugees during the Arab Spring that happened in 2015. That affected Tunisia, Egypt and Libya. They had gone so far, as to construct actual barbed wire fences - reminiscent of Cold War times.

If there was anything to measure AESR with - it was militant isolationism and non-interventionism. Beyond trade, what else happened in the outside world didn't concern AESR at all. Even condemnation from the UN and threats of sanctions didn't shake them.

"So I ask again - what are you calling us for?" she asked - namely curious, since the current Secretary of Defense hadn't stated WHAT he wanted from AESR in particular.

"We are asking for missile support, particularly in these areas." He pointed to the map again, "I had hoped that was obvious enough for you when I mentioned that we were coordinating missile strikes, but I digress. Will you aid us, or will you stand neutral in the face of a threat that doesn't discriminate what you represent?" He stepped forward and sat back down, he was familiar with the general apathy that AESR treats refugees, which wasn't his primary concern in the first place.

"I present to you a choice, help us slow down the threat, or watch us die trying and then deal with what even we couldn't stop." up to that point no one had shown combat footage against the invaders, even in dire times people still kept secrets. "I am sharing a video feed from the front lines as of the moment." The video feed of course showed the combat involved, one of the most heavily armed militaries in the world defending the borders of their country. "A mob of thousands, a wave of green, these creatures are swarming in every direction, if you think this problem will go away, it will not. At this very moment, I have forgotten about nationality. This is an attack on the whole of humanity madam President, will you help us stand together, or will you watch us fall together." He expanded on the choice further, his tone harsh, but understandably so.

"The same line was used by us sixty years ago....and in the same notion we were rejected and our world almost came close to annihilation," she replied in kind. Back when AESR had been simply fresh young democracies that had escaped the yoke of the Russian and German Empire.

Back when the many young nations almost begged aid - before they were sold out to the Soviets and their people deported to Siberia in the thousands. No AESR country had remained unaffected - several times they had attempted rebellion and freedom, only to be crushed under the Soviet Iron boot - while the West just watched. Only when the USSR went bankrupt did the various Satellite states manage to get free on their own accord.

Not to mention, how they allowed the Soviets access to the nuclear option - and continue oppressions against their people. It was a natural reaction from President Anna as well - when the worst came out, people first looked to their own and then others. Despite the tone she used - she had more notion than most. Leave it to AESR that the one think they had plenty beside outside dislike was pragmatism.

"Your asking us, to turn our Missile Defense Network onto targets in the West? You do realize, that likely the Russian side might have a Gate of their own. While else would they unleash such a literal and evident explosion happen," she added. "We'd be defenseless then..."

"I likely would be asking too much from a German - that they'd aid us, against any Hordes from the East, since I know how humans usually operate-" she stated. Namely they own first, and others maybe. "-ugh....give us targets. If we do this, can you prevent any monsters from overwhelming our Western Borders?"

Or namely, that the Germans wouldn't let any of these creatures overwhelm and spill over onto the AESR' western border.

The Marshal had a simple answer, but he would be lying if he stated that answer, and this was no time for lies. "We can hold them, and if any spill through, assume that all of us have died." he felt the need to say a few more words, but all he could say was "Thank you." imediately assuming that she was saying yes.

The Germanic people have long known of the suffering of the people from AESR, the countries within it have been subject to two world wars, and have been occupied at some points by two battling nations. In world war one, the Germans fought against them and the West and lost, in world war two they fought with them against the Communist disease, but failed to stop them achieving nuclear power. Germany and the Republic have failed the AESR more than once, it was time they did it right. They would all die fighting, and if they do, the world will either live on to remember them, or forget them as the world falls.

President Anna, soon contacted the Missile Defense Network Control Command - as she soon got a reply in Polish. As she replied in kind, and soon authorized the activation of their Deterrence Order. Soon enough, she had a special guard bring forward a laptop, that only one allowed connection.

She soon typed several coordinates in, and then swiped the keycard - from then, she looked behind her. As the others behind her nodded in reply - before she pushed one button. Namely that was the order to the numerous units all across the many countries. As Missile Bridgades, Silo Commanders and Island Defense Bunkers got confirmation and targets for the launch of their missile stockpile.

From the Marshal' perspective he could soon see the scene unfold. As namely his entire screen of their Eastern border was filled up with about a thousand red dots. He likely now knew - why the West didn't like to poke much at AESR. Since this volley alone had enough to sink every American vessel in service.

BERLIN

Berlin Garrison, 2 miles outside the city

---

"This is General Alexander, to all forces inside, AESR have launched missiles, we're getting aid!" Mary Alexander, female General incharge of the German region's garrisons. She was recieving orders from Sweden direct from the Secretary of Defense himelf.

Missile strikes incoming, five minutes to impact! Evacuate all you can, keep a mile distance!

The Germanic defense line was doing its very best to hold, but the fact was, they weren't fully mobilized, they were still getting every tank crewman, every paratrooper, every able bodied soldier to man their stations. Men from the navy used to call this all hands on deck, the missile strikes will buy them some time to mobilize.

The artillery crew were the first to witness the rockets comming through their binocs. "Fast movers incoming towards the city!" they watched as it screamed closer to its target.

They could see about several hundred missiles, all within several intervals - albeit, with the speed they were going they likely seemed to be going at the same speed or faster than that. As they missiles soon as they approached the city started to slowly climb up and up and up. One might fear and think, that the missiles might have malfunctioned or worse - gone after the satellite network above their country.

That was soon undone - when the crew could hear a loud bang or rather dozens of them. As the missiles soon screamed down into the city. Several dozen of them exploded against the streets below or over the city. Strangely enough they didn't seem to do much, except release an orange gas cloud.

Did AESR use chemical missiles then? Likely a UN violation, but that would likely be overlooked in such a situation like this. Except, it wasn't a chemical gas - as a dozen other missiles soon also dive-bombed into the city...and ignited the highly flammable gas.

The release of heat was instantenous, the heat almost felt a mile away. Like being near an oven - at least they could take comfort, that it was quick for anybody remaining in the city. As the fireball consumed everything in its path, setting many creatures in the streets on fire. For a human it would have been a quick death, for the Invaders it was a painful experience in dying - as it felt like their flesh was melting off their skin.

That lasted for about thirty seconds before the last fifteen missiles arrived - these a bit more slower and heavier then the last ones. As they streaked up and smashed down - this one was more...flashy. As suddenly with their detonation the flames, that had set almost all of Berlin on fire was exstinguished and then...there was bright flash. As the air was sucked away and the roar of a dying lion was heard for miles - as the thermobaric explosion purified anything and everything living within the heartland of Germany.

Alexander and the artillery crew stood in awe, she was so much in awe that she almost forgot to report back to the Secretary of Defense. She glanced down at the radio and grabbed it, "Direct hit! Maximum effect achieved sir!" she shouted, but she couldn't help but think of the many people that were still in their capital. Viperstrike and the defense force made it out somewhat intact, there were a few cassualties on the security forces.

Overall they managed to evacuate at least a third of the population. Alexander - the garrison did all they could, but there was no time to mourn the dead, they still had a war to fight.

---

AUSTRIA

---

The 5th Wiking was redirected towards the south after hearing reports of hard pressed units fighting off another wave from Italy, they had positioned themselves in a thick treeline on a hill top and along the defense line. Their canons firing as they went, "USE H.E. I SAID!" the gunner shouted, "MORE CONTACTS COMMING IN!" the commander called out, "TO THE EAST 231 by -30!" he barked, the turret rotated and fired, a large explosion caused green bodies to burst into several different peices.

A tank called out on the radio, "We have more incoming! We're running out of machinegun ammo!" Johan sat there, calling out orders as he immediately commanded, "Panzergrenadier units two and three, assist B company! Units Five, Six, and Seven, retreat from the bunker quadrant, you're going to be overrun!"

Johan looked at the situation, there was no way they were going to hold, they were getting reinforcements like a trickle, they had no time to mobilize, they might even have to lose Austria. Suddenly a crackle on the radio,

Attention, Hypersonic missiles incoming near the defense line, evacuate to a safer distance and hold for the fireworks, over!

Johan was relieved, he thought support would never come, but he never expected it to be a missile. A light growl in the wind afar signaled the presence of the missiles.

"All units fall back from the defense line! Incoming missiles!" Johan popped out of the hatch and watched it fly towards and over him screaming as it went.

The missiles flew as expected, before switching to their hypersonic speeds and detonating above the armies of the greenskins and avians. Nothing seemed to happen, as the missiles didn't even seem to make a very large explosion - although, a whistling was heard in the air. Like when one heard the whistle of a bullet pass-by over one' head.

This was slower, and something else. As suddenly, the greenskins were suddenly ripped apart in a tide of blood, as their entire ranks were suddenly ripped apart in a mangle of flesh and blood. Like the Angel of Death had come down and slashed his blade down at the inhuman creatures.

Instead it was the detonation of millions of flechettes and iron spikes inside the missile canisters - as a shower of metal was rained down upon the creatures. As the tiny projectiles tore apart skin and muscle from bone. In some cases, Johan could see a creature being reduced to a simple mist - so strong had been the force and acceleration of so many tiny projectiles.

These missiles were very precise - in such a fact, that they barely came close to their hold-out. Although, many soldiers could see how deadly this attack was - as trees were suddenly ripped apart by an unseen force. Several dozen of these missiles rained down - showering more and more metal rain around their battleground.

Many avians were simply ripped apart in the sky - as beside metal, a rain of bodies followed. Then after three minutes - it was over, the horde that had seemed to almost overwhelm them had simply...dropped dead. Their bodies punctured and shattered - the few survivors slowly dying off.

"WOO!" Johan shouted in joy, "TAKE THAT SHITHEADS!" the entire division and the neighboring garrisons were saved, Johan looked through his binocs and saw the greenskins and avians torn apart. At that moment the entire battlefield looked as if it had been through world war one. He picked up the radio, "Alright, let's use this little respite of relief, get those MG's set up, Gepards, I want them on vantage points, artillery, I want them in place! Let's go! We only have moments before the next attack!"

Johan then looked towards the horizon where the missiles came from and pulled up a compass. "Now I know who to thank for saving my men, we'll repay this debt."

---

SWEDEN

---

Heinrich recieves reports of all the confirmed missile strikes, he's sent some hypersonic seismic missiles of Germany's own helping out the Western front of the invasion. "Switzerland is confirming hits on mark sir!" Heinrich crosses out the Swiss on the map.

"All missiles confirming hit and reporting success, I thank you again Madam president, we've been spared a worse fate, at least for now. As long as we're able to do so, we will hold the line. We wish you luck against the East, if there is anything more we can do, ask of it." Heinrich spoke frankly, he was thankful, the Republic will have enough time to mobilize its entire military force. There were going to be more defenders against this foreign threat.

President Anna kept her face stoic - as expected of an ex-Communist state leader. They kept their emotions behind an iron mask and only showed their true emotions to trusted friends. She nevertheless cracked a small smile. "Hope this was helpful...keep your eyes also on the East. There is no telling what will be coming from beyond Siberia," she replied.

With that notion, she cut communications and their line was severed. Although, this act likely saved millions and tens of millions in the near future.

Erik's Eagles - Live forever apes! (Starship Troopers RP)

"COME ON YOU APES! YOU WANNA LIVE FOREVER!?"

Unknown Platoon Sergeant 1918

Quote from Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

Original Poster of Starship Troopers

THE PLOT

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

In an unknown year in the far flung future, mankind wages an interstellar war with a new and terrifying enemy; the Bugs of Klendathu. The Citizen Federation of Earth fights a losing war against the bugs as millions die on both sides, while the intelligence bureau frantically attempts to probe the bugs for weaknesses in order to help our fighting men and women gain an edge over our new foe.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

First invasion of Klendathu

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

Operation Bughouse, the first large scale offensive against the Bugs on their home planet of Klendathu. The Operation involved landing K-9 and Mobile infantry units on the surface to secure and hold a beachhead to help sustain the assault, however the invasion failed completely as units were overwhelmed by the defensive bug forces, and were not able to secure any landing zones. The K-9 unit's neodogs blew themselves up against the enemy out of sheer shock, leaving the Mobile Infantry without any support. Casualties mounted within the hour and for every thousand bugs they killed, one Infantry man dies - A net win for the bugs - the situation was getting desperate.

The General in command sounded the retreat, while holding his own unit back to support the retreating forces, needless to say, the General 'bought it' that day. Casualties were heavy, it was enough for the Terran Command to reconsider their strategy going forward as the bugs have put them on the back foot for the rest of the war.

You and many others volunteer to fight this new threat, gruelingly trained and armed to the teeth, from our mysterious Intelligence divisions, our powerful navy, all the way to the hard-working Mobile Infantry who fight for all mankind. They're doing their part, are you? Join up and do your part! Become a citizen of the federation today.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

THE ROLE-PLAY SETTING

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

You and the rest of the group will be playing as part of the Mobile Infantry in a squad from the company of Erik's Eagles, a fan made company similar to that in the book or the movies as Rasczack's Roughnecks aboard the transport corvette, TFCT Magsaysay, in honor of the book's main protagonist Juan 'Johnny' Rico who was (in the book) Filipino, he suggested at the end of the book, that there should be a ship named after Magsaysay.

Additional info on Magsaysay

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramon_Magsaysay

We will be playing as Cap Troopers, meaning we get to drop out of ships like paratroopers. This will be for those who've read the book, watched the films, and have seen the animated series, I had envisioned this to be a combination of some elements from each, using the book as a heavy basis.

What this means is that the bugs will be intelligent, capable of making some kind of advanced technology and using a variety of strategies in order to win, whilst still taking prisoners of war, using swarm tactics, and the capability to interrogate prisoners and take their knowledge through psychic means, either through persuasion or force, rather than sucking out their brains. (Which I'm pretty sure doesn't work biologically speaking)

The skinnies will be in this too, an ally to the Federation after tense negotiations. Unlike in the Animated series they would have been persuaded by the Terran Federation to break ties with the bugs, rather than the bugs forcibly taking control of them.

For additional info on the Skinnies go here (Yes you can play as one though I'll only allow one person to do it)

starshiptroopers.wikia.com/wiki/Skinny

The Terran Federation will be using the fleet, and there will be more than one kind of ship for the Terran Federation to engage with the Bugs Fleet. In the book there were no indication on how the bugs fought the Federation in space; all that is known is that the bugs used missile weaponry for their navy and could go toe-to-toe with Federation ships, as they were able to plaster Buenos Aires with what is believed to be a long range plasma weapon.

As in the films we will be using them as a basis for the Bug's heavy artillery and what their vehicles would look like and function; as such the bugs could have giant mechanized versions of the Tanker or the Plasma bug, and their explosives like the Bombardier beetle could be an anti-personnel grenade flung from one of these mechs or perhaps the bug warriors themselves, hoppers and Kamikazes can be replaced with bug aircraft that shoot beam weapons.

(Note that the mechanization is intended for their vehicles and weapons platforms, they are not gigantic suits of armor that will cover a giant bug.)

Many of the worlds from the animated series will be featured, and some of the campaigns will really test how creative we can get with the given material, but as much as possible I want to be able to reach the second invasion of Klendathu. The role-play perspective will be that of one squad in a platoon of Erik's Eagle company, which is one in fifty squads of an entire company, being part of the first platoon, first section, led by Erik himself, through the most grueling war in human history.

THE CHARACTERS AND THE SUITS

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

Since we don't know what the regular section composition is, I have had to take a few guesses, this is roughly -what I think- will be the regular composition of a squad.

-Two Command Suits
-Lieutenant Erik
-Sergeant
-Five Marauder Suits
-PSC to Corporal
-Three Scout Suits
-PFC to Corporal

For a General description look under the 'Starship Troopers Novel' and the 'Specification' section

starshiptroopers.wikia.com/wiki/Power…
starshiptroopers.wikia.com/wiki/Mobil…

The suits look like Steel gorillas, they enhance many things from strength, jumps, and spacial awareness.
They come with an array of communications devices that can switch channels by using the mouth to bite down on a button to switch frequencies, for example, bite down once for channel A, twice for B, and so on. The suits function much like a hopper, with many specialized pressure sensors on the inside, allowing the suit to move like you move, they also have thrusters allowing for air mobility and speed. This had its benefits such as ease of use, you don't have to learn a completely new set of maneuvers or controls, It's basically a full suit body armor, but the armor is like a second skin that moves with you and augments your strength.

To fully prepare a suit for use out of storage would take 26 hours, at most; fitting it to the person meant to use it would take additional time, so some troopers have learned to keep a few spare suits hot, taking them out of their cold state.

The weapons for the suits can range from conventional slug throwers all the way to mini-nukes launched from a Y-rack. Marauders would be equipped with weapons, from heavy machine guns, to rocket launchers, scouts and command suits get the same amount of weaponry, the scout suits have less communication equipment than the Command suits, which have the ability to communicate across all sections and platoons in the company where all other suits get only three frequencies to communicate with; the command suits can also monitor everyone's vital signs, allowing for the Squad Leader to account for all living troopers in his area, vital signs can also be monitored by pressing a button on the belt buckle of the suits.

The troopers also have a various arsenal of grenades, one engineered to smoke out bug holes with bio and chemical gasses, another just for the regular explosives, they also have listening equipment so that when they make camp, they can listen to the bugs digging under them to let them prepare.

The suits have the ability to jump long distances, depending on the gravitational constant of the planet, it could also be akin to flying, as the distances you can jump like this can span whole football fields.

Only a few things are standard for every trooper, a flamer and a combat knife, useful for close combat as you don't have to aim much in such tight quarters, the troopers can also go hand to hand in their suits, they are resistant to radiation, chemicals, and bio-weapon agents.

Now take note, that for each campaign and mission we will be switching loadouts from time to time, We could be bringing peewees (Term for mini-nukes) or high powered explosives to seal off bug holes, or grenade launchers, etc.

Without further ado here is the CS, however, keep in mind I am looking for people who will be active with their posts and will inform the group if he or she will be away over a significant period of time so that I or the player in question can quietly write him or her out for a while for continuity's sake. I expect you to tell us if your post is delayed or if you're waiting for someone in particular to post, if you can't do this simple thing DO NOT JOIN THIS RP or I WILL be forced to remove you, I don't want that hassle. In addition, I also expect at least or more than three paragraphs of text, unless situation demands less.

Another rule is that I can and will auto hit a few of you using the bugs to catch out unlucky souls, I will not intend to kill you off, but it will injure your character and it will force everyone else to have carrying actions in order to save you, how you act in those situations will also determine how other characters will see you, NO TROOPER LEFT BEHIND is a rule in the Mobile infantry, that applies to even the dead, unless the situation proves too daunting to risk saving a dead man. Otherwise, if you're the type who likes making new characters, you can ask me to get you shot or RP yourself getting shot, I like a little bit of Drama in the RP, so plus points on you if you can make that happen.

Final rule is that all bugs are fair game, but when we meet the bigger machines that the bugs make, we will have to do some actual RP Combat, that means no auto-hitting the big bugs or I will give consequences that may cause your Character to 'buy it'. There are exceptions to this, such as having a nuke, but then there are times where we can't use a nuke, when in that situation refer to this rule.

If you're good with all that, then by all means fill up the CS, and again I stress this fact. DO NOT DO IT IF YOU CAN'T COMMIT, that is all.

The Mirrodin Concordat

The Mirrodin Concordat

Type of Governement: Military Trade Concordat

Description of Governement:

The Government operates with five different worlds in an imperial controlled sector of space near the fringes. These five planets Mirrodin II, Typhus VI, Ahnron, Spehis, and Polyserak. These planets constituted the seats of power in the Federal administration. They are often military leaders and officials of their union, overseeing production, commerce, naval doctrine, army doctrine, and recognition of other alien species as part of the Concordate.

The Concordate consists of roughly 10 planets and assists the Empire in financial and military support.

Main race(Your own species, unless you want to play as humans): Human

Minority races(humans and what other. Needs to be at least 50% humans if you majority is them):

Gulgaran

Gulgaran’s, the Ice warriors of Nordos Prime. They were once hostile towards human occupation, viewing them weak and incapable of command, they were of course crushed by human forces within the course of three days. The Gulgarans respected the strength displayed by the humans. For the Gulgarans, the first battle determines their opinion of the people they meet, they of course liked the human forces enough to agree to being an auxiliary force after their short tussle.

The Gulgarans are massive, a full two feet taller than the tallest human. The Gulgaran’s believe in honor through both servitude and action, they would rather die in combat than survive a losing battle. They have a slim, tall, but muscular build; they are hairless, and their skin and complexion is similar to that of humans with color being the only thing that differs. They were not adapted to cold climates, but their planet’s climate shifted rapidly, the Gulgarans needed to adapt. They used their technology to create underground, geo-thermally heated, super-cities; for traversing the surface, they used suits that were armed to the teeth, they were a warrior race, they were always prepared to fight, even in the harshest environments. In fact, their climate was caused by their warfare. The last great war on Nordos Prime ended with gigantic explosives caused by their superweapons, hundreds of thousands crashing into specific areas at once.

The people who were spared from the war continued on for several centuries, most of the radiation has subsided, but their climate has not improved since the war. Being under radiation for so long, the Gulgaran’s might have developed a resistance to the effects, though this has not been thoroughly researched. The Gulgaran’s serve the Emporium loyaly, revering them as gods, masters, prophets. The Gulgaran’s worship humanity to the point where it’s almost religious. Some Gulgaran’s achieve the rank of War master within the Concordat military due to their sheer loyalty to the Human cause, their loyalty is rewarded as such and used as propaganda to further propagate the Emporiums influence.

Kragat

Excellent engineers, they were discovered on Ronin IV, a small mining world. They lived dormant underground until the met the human explorers. The Humans immediately assumed a very weary action, however they found that the Kragat did not display any intention of fighting. It seems their world harbored little danger to them, with absolutely no natural predators and their strong sense of social unity, they completely went stagnant in terms of weapons development. They did however drown their free time in building and understanding the laws of physics with the very limited amount of knowledge they had.

Once the humans integrated English into the Kragat, they made it mandatory, the Kragat did not like this. However, over the period of time they were under the Concordat and the constant barrage of propaganda, overtime, the English in Kragat society became normalized, and the Concordat made sure that there were no records of the cultural purge.

The Kragat’s underground home was well lit by bio luminescence; they often harvested the creatures around them to create a well-lit environment. The Kragat are an arthropodal race with their DNA closely resembling that of crabs and other crustaceans and Isopods. They have slow metabolisms and require shedding their carapace every ten months. Their pacifism has made them easy to enslave, and with more well-placed propaganda and neo-colonialist tactics, they’ve been absorbed into the human workforce.

Their multiple limbs, high hand eye coordination, tough exoskeletons, and overall high dexterity and complex understanding of blueprints make them an amazing workforce for building and engineering works.

Furok

The newest of the subjugated races of the concordate. The Furok, also known as the businessmen of Azure Montal an artificial world – once the center of trade – where they would conduct business, they offered their starcharts and their business experience in exchange for their autonomy. They had no way of fighting, it seemed they were much interested in business and profiteering. The Concordat, being a military backed trade committee was very interested in what they could bring to the table, of course the negotiations were stiff, as the humans of the Concordat would take no less than 70% of their total profit, and on top of that all of their transactions must be overseen by a military presence.

The Furok agreed, they were not fickle with how much they earn, just so long as they could spend it. The Furok bought themselves a lofty life within the Concordat, and subsequently the Emporium. While to the dismay of humanity, they were the engines of commerce, and one could not argue that they were highly effective con artists and businessmen.

The Furok look short, around 3’6-4’4 in height; their build is somewhat bloated and their hair was short and white; their complexion was rough and warty and their skin was colored a light brown. They were sometimes called derogatory names such as “Frog Skins”, “Midgets”, and “Wannabe Suits”. They didn’t mind the names, they had profit, they had shares all over the Emporium, and a single rebellion could jeopardize those shares. They’d throw money at the problem, buying and funding whatever would make the bad thing disappear. The Concordat was perfect for these Shrewd, and repulsive businessmen.

The Anuvayash

The Anuvayash or in English, The Metal Ones, are a mere six percent of the entire population, the lowest of all the species that make up the concordat. They are an abandoned race of sentient computers and robots whose design was immaculate with clear intentions to make them serviceable to a public demographic. The Anuvayash and their creators were destroyed during the Triangulum war, and the Anuvayash commandeered. Though the Anuvayash were sentient, they were had no qualms, their main purpose in life was to serve. They made an excellent slave race, but instead of being put to use to construction, they were put to use in A.I. and ship design roles.

The Anuvayash’s creators were somewhat militaristic, however, their ships quickly fell to the might of the Concordat. The Anuvayash – a spoil of war – was quickly subdued, their creation matrix, studied, reverse engineered, and remade. New A.I. machines that were completely submissive. The Anuvayash’s creators were brilliant in making sure that the Anuvayash wasn’t too advanced, it couldn’t learn new things, it could only do what it was programed to do. The Anuvayash could operate individually without a signal, and will only respond to authorized personnel. The Creators of the Anuvayash also contributed many other technologies, such as a new ship engine called the Electromagnetic Ion Drive (EID) and drone tech.

The Electromagnetic Ion Drive used an ionized field manipulated by an electromagnetic pulse to propel the ship, this method of travel used a fraction of the fuel compared to what the normal method of transportation used. The drone tech was much the same with the Anuvayash themselves, they could operate independently and obey orders by authorized personnel. Codes for Anuvayash controls would change every other day, and each code was unique for each officer of a certain ship or sector. The Anuvayash are also strictly controlled. They were dangerous in the wrong hands, thus they were monitored, and had to pass certain regulations, making them a luxury item in the Concordat. For military use, the Drone technology was further advanced and was used to help fill out the ranks of the Concordat starfighter corps; they also used EID’s on their ships to make travel more efficient.

Overall, the Anuvayash, are subservient, sentient, yet limited robots. In other cases they are also used as security on some planets. Other times their used alongside Gulgarans as an assault force. They are however, extremely fragile, and only served as another weapon that could fire back at the enemy to soften them up before the main-force crushes them.

Demography(Min 20% humans):

Throughout the Concordat consisting of billions of individuals

60% is Human
13% is Gulgaran
10% is Kragat
11% is Furok
6%

Religion:

The Gulgarans believe that the Humans are powerful beings, wise, old, and incredibly intelligent. They are nearly fanatical in their loyalty. The Gulgarans believe that if they serve humanity well and with honor, they will be rewarded in the afterlife; how they’re rewarded depends on how much they’ve achieved in their life, thus their fanaticism.

The Humans revere the Emperor, even more so than the Gulgarans revere the Human race. They believe him to be

Culture:

The Concordat is a human founded Autonomous nation that focuses on business, technological development, propaganda, and strong military presence. The Concordat culture is diverse due to the Xeno races that it managed to subjugate, the Gulgarans and Furok are the major contributors to these ethics.

History:

The Concordat dates back to the start of the war for the Triangulum. They were a human expeditionary and colony force. They ventured into unexplored territory when they were cut off from Emporium high command. There they settled five planets and grew outwards. They remained loyal to the Emperor, and with each conquered civilization, they found new technologies that solidified Imperial dominance in the Triangulum.

The Concordat was signed in Mirrodin, as without a governing force, they had to govern themselves for the majority of twenty three years. The Concordat in that time span managed to defeat, exterminate, and dethrone entire empires. The leadership and resourcefulness of the Expeditionary Force’s commanders were more than a match to what the Xenos could throw at them. This led to them becoming reigning council members of the Concordat government system.

When the dust settled, and they were reestablished with the Emporium, they were given special commendations, and their region became autonomous. Their loyalty to the Emperor for the twenty-three years without contact was rewarded graciously. They had free reign to construct ships, explore, and subjugate any planet that interested them. Of course, the Emporium still sees the Concordat as part of the Imperial fold, and in many ways they are. They are fanatical in their service to the Emperor, they see Xenos as lesser beings, albeit with a few exceptions, which the Emporium have found to be quite useful. They exert the demands of the Emporium when they are commanded to as that is their duty to the Emperor. Despite their similarities, their ships vastly differ in design due to the Twenty Three year divergence, their entire time spent away from the empire as an Exploratory and colonial force was put to use. Their entire fleet was equipped to turn planets into bustling cities within months. Their military and first contact routines are also different, however they are still -as a whole- a lot like the Emporium, with demands such as “Surrender your planet” and “You are to only buy Concordat products” and other such things.

They have several planets, ten of which are considered Emporium loyal and are the source of power in the Concordat. Other planets and worlds have experienced population culling, rapid industrialization, enslavement, and planet stripping. The Concordat use all of these to free up real estate, create thousands of ships and products, provide a labor force for the emporium, and create a large resource pool to pull from. The Concordat’s main strategy is to use its military might to impose the will of the Emporium and subjugate a planet, they will then annex it using propaganda and culture culling in order to make the xeno population easier to manipulate, at the end of those processes the Xeno planet in question will no longer have the will and reason to oppose their rule. Some have openly invited Human colonization, others were just too easy to enslave, and others still bargained for their freedom. Those were the only exceptions that the Concordat ever made.

Overall, the Concordat is an effective military and industrial machine that acts as the extension of the Emporiums will in their sector of the Galaxy.

Important characters:

Grand Magisterial Viceroy, Julius Kaveran.

Julius was an Ensign during the expansion wars in the Concordat. After twenty-three years and many dead officers, Lord High Marshal Kaveran became the leader of the Concordat. Back then, the highest seat of power was Lord, but when the Emporium came, they assisted with the governmental reforms; Kaveran became Grand Magisterial Viceroy, he was to be the iron fist of the emporium in their sector.

Kaveran himself was not a man of words, he was a man of action and he demanded such. The Concordat became his tool to better serve the Emperor, to better serve mankind and those who would worship it. He was cunning, smart, strict, and most of all, he was ruthless. He served the emperor like a lap dog, for this, he and the Concordat itself received additional benefits. But do not let his brutality fool you, he is as sophisticated and cunning as three Grand Admirals and has the same training and combat experience as a Gulgaran, a warrior race. Many find Julius to be a fitting leader for the Concordat and praise the Emperor for making him such.

Kaveran and the Emperor have had short discussions about the Expansion wars, he had to do some explaining as to why Xenos were given such liberties as they had given them. He of course answered, “because it was beneficial”, and found himself staring into the stars naming each and every system that the Concordat had exterminated life on, he continued with his explanation,

“The races of this universe are beneficial, I merely use them as tools – a means to an end. The Concordat gives these liberties simply because they displayed obedience and subservience. I simply rewarded their loyalty, they are after all tools, and even tools need a simple cleaning, a touchup, an upgrade. I believe they can serve us better in their current position and their current liberties, ensuring their loyalty, because even loyalty can be bought, however, the best kind of loyalty is genuine.”

He took a sip of his wine and afterwards wiped his beard, he then turned to look the Emperor in the eye standing straight as he did and continued.

“My lord Emperor, I have exterminated, purged, and purified many Xeno worlds, but that is only because they were deemed too radical to live; I have enslaved and subjugated a countless more, simply because they were weak; but the xenos that have liberties now have displayed an undying loyalty to not only the Concordat or the Emporium, but to mankind itself. They EARNED their way to where they are now, and they earned it after twenty three years of loyal service to the Concordat which justifies why I gave them those liberties. However, if you would wish of me to get rid of them, or tighten up our leash with them, I will gladly do so my Lord.”

Lord Grand Inquisitor James Mott

James Mott, a sly, shrewd, and secretive individual. He was inducted into the military at a young age, he became the interest of the intelligence bureau when they found he was able to steal enemy plans from behind their lines. He was not only an active agent, but he was a cunning strategist and he was a shrewd investigator. He masterminded the manipulation of the Kragats, and set up the devastation that brought the Anuvayash’s creators, the Adwani to crumble.

He was not renowned, he was never acknowledged, or thanked for his work, he was a spymaster, no one thanks a spymaster. As a person, James was overly talkative, he would spout things out, he was a blabber mouth; this did not contribute well to his esteemed image, but it put most at ease around him. It let everyone who didn’t know about his job, his work, feel comfortable sharing secrets with him. This allowed him, the Concordat, and ultimately, the Emporium know what their people were thinking, and it helped that he was also in good terms with a few Xenos as he was once a criminal. He knew people who would provide information based on his background, he was street smart. This made all the difference when determining which worlds to put heavy patrols on.
Because of his elusive and manipulative nature, he is called the “Whisperer” among his enemies. He incites fear, people are so afraid of him manipulating them they’re afraid to plan anything against the Concordat, fearing that he may be manipulating them into planning something. And most of the time, they’re right fear.

Lord Grand Admiral, Julia Greystone

She is the first, and only female officer to reach a lord’s position in any branch of the military. There are four branches and four lords, Lord Grand Arbiter, Lord Grand Admiral, Lord Grand Marshal, Lord Grand ; the Lord Grand Arbiter looks oversees the Auxiliary forces, the Lord Grand Admiral oversees the fleets, the Lord Grand Marshal oversees the army, and finally, the Lord Grand Inquisitor oversees internal security, they are like spymasters but they operate as the sword rather than the needle.

Julia Greystone, is as ruthless as she is voluptuous, with fine red hair usually neatly tied in a bun, and rubenesque figure. She is strategically brilliant and aggressive, many Xenos now know her by the name of the Huntress. Her strategy is to chase down an enemy, even indirectly, in order to finish them off, not many have escaped her grasp. To the Humans, she is a symbol of power due to her gender, and her many triumphs. She is however headstrong, and will not retreat until she is absolutely certain that she will lose in combat, and because of this trait, many die under her command. She is also often referred to by her men as Julia “Gravestone” due to the many that have died for her pride.

Lord Grand Arbiter, Valarian Marduke

Valarian had the worst lords job in the concordat, but he was undeterred by this. Valarian prided himself with the discipline and coordination of his Auxiliary corps, he is known by the derogatory name of “Circus Master”. The Auxiliary consisted of Gulgarans, Anuvayash drones, and Furok infantry. The Furok, while short in stature, contributed their most able-bodied personnel, they were usually more well-groomed than a regular Furok, thus less warty and pathetic. The Auxiliary Corps always went in first before the main army, and Valarian oversees the actions of each Arbiter in the Concordat.

Overly excessive losses were still punishable, even though they were just Xeno Auxiliary and drones. Auxiliaries still cost money, and further, the expenses to equip each Auxiliary is quite expensive, thus the Auxiliary have to be fairly decent. Valarian himself commands the Auxiliary to such a degree that the main force was never needed in most combat situations. Many downplay his actions but not his fellow Lords. He was pragmatic about the Xenos in the military, sure they were Xenos but he thought, “Why waste a chance to bolster our forces?” and he has time and time again proven this to be necessary. Most men are still apprehensive about armed Xenos but they can’t deny that they enjoy the cannon fodder taking most of the fire for them.

Lord Grand Marshal, William Merlock

William Merlock, a tactful, skilled, and disciplined commander of the Concordat armed forces. He like many others have experienced successes that allows him to bolster esteemed reputation. His calm, quiet, apathy allows him to out-pace his enemies, thinking several steps ahead even before the battle began; scenario upon scenario upon scenario upon scenario. He was precise and patient when it came to his duties as Lord Grand Marshal. He was upheld just as much as an Julia, and as human culture is sometimes, they were usually mistaken to be a couple. Merlock is also the one of the few who commend Valarian with his exploits. Auxiliaries to Merlock are as important as flour in bread.

William and Valarian work closely together, they often share ideas and have frequent exchanges in terms of tactics and strategy. However, it is clear that Valarian is the better of the two when it comes to guerilla warfare. William is a posh man, he has standards, even in warfare. His enemies call him the “Red Gentleman”, his men call him the “Governor”, he himself likes these nicknames and continues to make these his traits. He is careful not to be too predictable, he has lost to Velarian because of his standards, that was a harrowing lesson for him being the overseer of the Army.

Description of Military(ships and ground troops):
-WIP
Technology(note that there are no energy shields, and that doomsday weapons are not a thing.):
-WIP
Additional(whatever you feel like you want to add):
-WIP

I'm gonna make this look prettier when I get all the stuff I need. And I'm still assuming Lasers are allowed with a yield roughly similar to that of a main capital ship weapon for its upper limits? Just making doubley sure so when I get to tech I won't be hindered by "I wonder if this is too much..." -> Literally me worrying about the tiniest details.

EDIT: Also yes, I'm really getting into this, cause I've been dying for fleet combat and politics again.

Project Exodus

The Power of Three, The Triumvirate of Free people, The Stars of Enilliad

History:

The story of the union of the free peoples started in a time of peace, when the Aetherkin still roamed the land. Aetherkind were the third born of the gods, they were said to have been made from the stars themselves. The Elves came first, gifted with beauty, knowledge, and grace; the Dwarves came second, masters of steel, craft, and fire; then came Aetherkind, beings of pure energy, born of the stars, where elves die and become stars, the Aetherkin are eternal.

The Aetherkin were a peaceful people, immortal in mortal bodies, they lived as artisans, scholars, sculptors. They were peaceful. They were loved by all, and they loved everyone all the same, they marked a long era of peace. The elves, watched them, and felt jealousy. Aetherkind was given immortality, and the Elves were given only long life. Their envy grew little by little as each day passed, until finally, the Elves could take no more. They unleashed their magic upon the Aetherkind, destructive powers that were enough to weaken them to the point of true-death, but it wasn’t enough. Aetherkind reproduced and healed in sacred groves in forests, there they grew new bodies, they recuperated from the Elven betrayal and pondered their survival. The Elves struck down each of these groves, one by one, burning as they went. The Aetherkin could take no more, and thus they marched to war.

The war was horrible, terrible, and bloody, it raged for several, long, grueling years. Aetherkind were powerful, beings made of pure energy, energy drawn from the gods themselves. The Elves considered this to be the betrayal of the gods. Aetherkin soldiers were quick on their feet, powerful beyond comprehension, turning their opponents to dust, their archers firing such powerful bows that could burn through an entire column of infantry, three men wide. The losses for the Elves mounted each day as they lost ground, they were losing, their own magic matched by that of Aetherkind. Until one day, an Aetherkin offered his help against his own people.

Morias Cyrino, an Aetherkin feared by that of most Elves, it is said that he has never once had another mortal body. He was the only Aetherkin that has never died in battle. The immortal of the battle of Ruined Dawn, the traveler of the Bygone deserts, the Wiseman of the north, he has many names, but to the Elves, he is called the angel of death.

Morias offered to the Elves a prison, the Tesseract forged from the fallen star Terniro. They placed it on the highest mountain in their known world and activated it; in an instant, the life force of all Aetherkind was sucked into the Tesseract prison, except that of Morias. The Tesseract glowed many colors, it was referred to as the jewel of the gods. The Elves and Aetherkind were both betrayed however, because when the Tesseract was activated, it not only took Aetherkind, but with it, the Elves’ power. They were cursed with weakness for ten long years. In those years the Elves’ enemies pounced on them like hungry wolves, pulling them apart, leading towards the construct revolt, and the sudden collapse of the Elven empire. Morias watched as they burned and time consumed them, they collapsed into obscurity.

Morias however, found himself at a crossroads, he found himself vengeful, hateful, everything he hated about what his race had become. The last of the Aetherkin, a hypocrite, a liar, and a traitor; he learned this when he found that he was willing to even think of killing innocent civilians, they were just elves that have never done anything to him and yet he pondered it. He became the monster that he hoped he would never become.

He lowered his weapons and guided them towards Felidir forest in the Kalinir region where a Fairy race resides. There the elves rebuilt, alongside the fairies, the Dwarves of Karak’dien, the men of Arcadia, and finally the Greenskinned orks. The orks once threatened civilization before, and now they gather to do it again, Dwarves and Men alike make an alliance of necessity to fight the ork menace, trimming their numbers every other day and cutting them off from their reinforcements.

The elves -untrusted by the Dwarves and Men- were met with some… “abrasiveness”, but the Aetherkin, Morias Cyrino negotiated for them. They found that they both had common ground, the Orks -with nothing left to challenge them- were growing in size and posed a considerable threat to the kingdoms in the region. The Elves and fairies offered their aid with Morias arbitrating between the three races. Eventually -over time- they became such close allies that old boundaries no longer existed, they became a union, a union of free people. The Triumvirate, the power of three, they are currently the most resilient and progressive countries in their world, shining like three stars in the night, thus the name the elves gave them, The Stars of Enilliad.
