Nexon Prime Space Command

The Nexon Prime Space Command (NXSC) stands as the colossal governing faction of Nexonia Prime, commanding the might of the NXSC Armed Forces. This interstellar military force is responsible for conducting operations far beyond the confines of Nexonia Prime and has played a pivotal role in numerous off-world conflicts, notably during the Nevian-Colossian War. While the moral compass of the NXSC may occasionally waver, particularly in the pursuit of its military obligations, it remains a bastion of dependability and strength, capable of deterring powerful extraterrestrial threats.
For reasons yet to be explained, the NXSC reformed after a millennia and has been off the grid from nevanity for quite some time, all until realising they will face the most powerful enemy nevanity will ever come across: LORD ANNIHILATOR.
==Mission==
Though the official NXSC mission statement has been amended since it was established in 2163, the NXSC's statement of function can be summarised in two points:
*Uphold and advance the policies of their Unified Astronomical Government.
* Ensure the safety and security of Unified Astronomical Government territories, possessions, and areas vital to its interests.
During the Nexonia-Colossus War, the NXSC's purpose was to protect nevanity and ensure the survival of the nevian species.
==Structure==
The NXSC's organizational hierarchy is structured around the Unified Astronomical Government (UAG), with the President of the UAG holding ultimate authority over the faction's actions. While the President's authority is legally absolute, day-to-day command of the NXSC Armed Forces falls to the Chairman of the NXSC Security Council. This high-ranking official is authorized to act on defense matters in the President's stead.
The NXSC Security Council serves as the faction's primary staff element, responsible for an array of critical functions. This includes policy formation, strategic planning, resource management, and fiscal evaluations. The Security Council is staffed by the highest-ranking officers from various branches of the military, including the Navy, Marine Corps, Army, Air Force, and Office of Supreme Naval Intelligence. As of 2791, the Chief of Staff of the KNIGHT Operations department has been granted a non-voting advisory role on the council.
Additionally, the UAG maintains a Secretary of Defence position, although the precise scope of powers and limitations associated with this office remains shrouded in mystery.
The Colonial Massacre during the Nevian-Colossian War marked a critical juncture in the NXSC's history. In response to the dire circumstances of the conflict, substantial authority was temporarily transferred from civilian governance to the NXSC. This period saw the military granted significant emergency powers, including the declaration of martial law for the duration of the war. While civilian governance was formally reinstated in 2915 following the war's conclusion, the process eroded the institutions of government. Consequently, the NXSC retained a wide latitude of operational freedom, especially concerning interactions with surviving colonies and affairs on Nexonia Prime itself. This shift in power dynamics has led to a prevalent public sentiment that the NXSC operates as a de facto military government, with the UAG largely functioning as a public relations entity.
The NXSC is further bound by the laws outlined in the NXSC colonial policy, a document designed to provide regulations governing military colonial governance.
Within the NXSC structure, the NXSC Elite Command (ELITECOM) serves as the joint staff and executive body. Senior ELITECOM officers report to the Security Council, primarily focusing on coordinating joint and inter-agency protocols and objectives. ELITECOM exercises control over a range of sensitive and strategically vital offices and boards, including the NXSC Inspector General, General Officer Review Board, NXSC Special Topics Committee, and NXSC Ordnance Commission. It also serves to advise UAG civilian leadership on defense matters.
Administrative commands, such as NXSC Personnel Command (NXSC-PERSCOM), the Medical Corps, the Engineering Corps, Nevian Resources, and Astrophysics, fall under ELITECOM's purview. Legal matters, including protocol issuance and enforcement, are handled by the NXSC Judge Advocate General's Corps, while research aimed at enhancing NXSC operations is conducted by the Internal Audit office.
In essence, ELITECOM ensures close coordination among the NXSC's component branches, mitigating resource allocation disputes and promoting synergy in pursuit of the faction's objectives.
===Military===
The NXSC has six major military departments; four of these branches (Navy, Marine Corps, Army, and Air Force) are recognised and defined in UAG law, while the KNIGHT Operations division is a "continuing organisation" that lacks explicit recognition and instead works directly under the NXSC's Elite Command. The Office of Supreme Naval Intelligence is a one-of-a-kind instance; it is a subordinate service of the Navy and is not recognised as an independent service branch, yet it has had de facto autonomy from the Navy for almost a century. Despite these technicalities, these six organisations are sometimes referred to be the NXSC's six branches.
The military departments are divided into two primary groups: the NXSC Defence Force (NXSC-DEF) and the NXSC-ExF. (presumably standing for something akin to NXSC Expeditionary Force). The former manages the NXSC's defensive assets, which comprise the Army and Air Force, while the latter covers Naval and Marine Corps forces. It's unknown if the NXSC-DEF and NXSC-ExF are related to NAVCOM and UNICOM.
====Navy====
The Navy is the NXSC's senior service, created in 2725 during the Interplanetary Wars. The NXSC Navy is led by the Commander-in-Chief of Official Naval Operations (CINCONAV), who is assisted by a Deputy Chief of Official Naval Operations. The Navy's representative on the NXSC Security Council is the Chief of Naval Operations. The Chief of Naval Operations is also the Commander-in-Chief of the Official Fleet (CINCOFLEET).
The NXSC Navy operates, trains, organises, and equips space forces in order to establish local naval superiority in deep space and close orbit, principally through the deployment of its seemingly limitless fleet of spacecraft, each containing a diversified arsenal of warships. This force is used to destroy or suppress enemy space components, namely those attempting to target UAG commercial or terrestrial interests. The Navy guarantees the safety of UAG trade and commerce, aids other governmental agencies in interstellar governance agencies, and as a result, practically little of interstellar relevance occurs without the Navy's assistance or control. The NXSC Navy is located in Fleet Command Headquarters at their own planet.
The Navy has a dual chain of command; administratively, Navy personnel report to NAVCOM while operationally they report to their assigned Task Command. There are three Task Commands under NAVCOM;
*NXSC Navy Fleet Command (FLEETCOM) - Headed by the Secretary of Fleet Command and directs the movement and tasking of naval squadrons and coordinates with UNICOM. FLEETCOM is responsible for the deployment of Navy warfighting assets and maximising their combat power and efficiency. Their direct deployment of the NXSC fleet sees them as the largest and most powerful of any NAVCOM grouping.
*NXSC Navy Logistical Operations Command (NXSC-NAVLOGCOM) - Oversees the design, contracting and construction of Navy spacecraft alongside making sure that Navy warships are space worthy and supplied with parts, munitions, food and reaction mass.
*Naval Special Warfare Command (NAVSPEC WARCOM) - A smaller, culturally distinct section of the Navy that trains, equips and oversees special forces personnel in support of UNSC space operations. Marine Corps special forces units are typically tasked under NAVSPEC WARCOM, as were the KNIGHT-II and KNIGHT-III program personnel prior to the establishment of the KNIGHT Operations branch.
Navy warships are assigned to fleets, which are organised in one of two ways;
* Expeditionary fleets - Numbered fleets (e.g. First Fleet) designed for offensive operations in deep space and centred around massive carriers. Expeditionary fleets were largely decimated during the early years of the Nexonia-Colossus War, and by the war's end had no appreciable differences with defensive fleets due to being unable to make any major offensives without leaving the Inner Colonies dangerously vulnerable. The only remaining ships are that are the Nemesis and Ragnarok, which belongs to Michael Nexima
*Defensive fleets - Designated fleets (e.g Sazekyan Binary Fleet) are usually named for the star system in which they operate. Defence fleets were formerly thought to be little more than revenue police, but with the outbreak of the Nexonia-Colossus war, these forces proved invaluable in providing vitally needed training cadres and battle-ready (though antiquated) warships.
Fleets are assigned to numbered numbered Sectors such as FLEETCOM Sector Alpha, contextually organized based on low-energy slipspace routes leading away from Nexonia Prime. Special task forces may also be created without being assigned to a sector, and given responsibility for regions outside of these standard routes - designated as "Uniformed sectors". Fleets are comprised of organised battle groups, flexible combat elements that can be "plugged together" into ad-hoc fighting forces depending on the immediate situation. Squadrons serve as administrative groupings of warships for record-keeping and honorific purposes.
The NXSC Navy maintains its own military police force.
====Marine Corps====
The NXSC Marine Corps is another senior service of the NXSC, and was formed alongside the Navy in 2721. The Marine Corps is the naval infantry department of the NXSC, and works closely alongside the Navy to effect military action across nevian space. The administrative head of the Marine Corps is the Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC), who serves as the Marine Corps' senior general and service representative on the NXSC Security Council and Unified Combat Ground Command staff. The CMC is responsible for organising, planning and implementing all Marine Corps activities. The Marine Corps is headquartered at Fleet Command Headquarters on Nexonia Prime. The Marine Corps is responsible for maintaining an expeditionary force in readiness, which can seize and defend terrestrial and extraterrestrial strategic sites in advance of a larger main NXSC deployment. 
As such, the Marine Corps organises, trains, equips and maintains land, air and space-based combined-arms teams capable of being rapidly deployed by the Air Force and Navy. They are the general-purpose combat force of the NXSC, and employ a wide range of personnel from sharpshooters to combat engineers to xenolinguists. Marine Corps forces are under administrative control (ADCON) of Marine Corps Forces (MARFOR), which focuses on the ability to reorganise, train and direct a given unit's long-term activities. Operational control (OPCON) of combat forces is handed to one of two combatant commands; Naval Command (NAVCOM) and Unified Combat Ground Command (UNI-CCOM) - which provides the authority to conduct missions and delegate tasks, but not the ability to alter the internal organisation of subordinate units.
Marine Corps forces are unique in that they can switch between combatant commands in combat zones, which is coordinated by Joint Deconfliction Teams. Marine Corps personnel assigned to NAVCOM comprise Fleet Marine Forces, which operate under the operational supervision of FLEETCOM command. Marines assigned to vessel and site security, boarding parties, and the majority of aeronautical assets comprise the Fleet Marine Forces. NAVCOM retains jurisdiction over landing parties and expeditionary ground combat troops, notwithstanding UNI-CCOM's vigorous opposition to this interpretation of the regulations. Marines executing long-term planetary security operations, train-and-equip details, and force augmentation for NXSC garrisons, on the other hand, are under UNI-CCOM command.
The Marine Corps' collateral functions include;
*Total Enforcement of emergency military law in designated crisis areas.
*Development of doctrine, procedures and equipment that are of common interest to the Army and Navy.
*Furnishing security teams for the protection of NXSC property and high-value personnel.
*Deployment of security detachments and organisations for service on Navy vessels.
* Development of doctrine, tactics, techniques and equipment for the rapid deployment and utilisation of powerful interstellar combat power.
Marine Corps forces are typically deployed as part of a Marine Expeditionary Force, which may include multiple divisions as subordinate units and is subordinate to Fleet Marine Forces.
==== Army ====
The NXSC Army is the NXSC's primary terrestrial department, providing the majority of logistical support as well as reserve soldiers that fight in ground wars. The Army is in charge of defending UAG territorial holdings as well as long-term occupation of enemy territory, and as such trains, organises, equips, and maintains amphibious, land, and airborne units for this objective. As a result, while all Army personnel are trained warfighters, they also supply a vital force of engineers, technicians, builders, and designers during peacetime, doing public works and improving existing colonial infrastructure to support future NXSC deployments.
The Army also retains its own Corps of Engineers to conduct parts of the above-mentioned functions, as well as the Army Security Forces for military police, particularly in the Inner Colonies. Army Security Forces may be used for colonial occupation, reconstruction oversight, and even civilian law enforcement, or they may be deployed to the Outer Colonies to assist CAA Marshals and NXSC peacekeeping forces in fighting Insurgency coalitions, monitoring corporation activities, and guarding critical infrastructure.
The Army's collateral functions include;
* Conducting all civil works that have strategic application, including projects for improvement of navigation and follow-on terraforming.
*Development of doctrine, procedures and equipment that are of common interest to the Air Force and Marine Corps.
*Organisation and training of civilian defence units (colloquially "militias").
*Providing forces for joint aerospace and space operations, in accordance with official NXSC doctrines.
Army forces have historically been administratively organised under the control of specialised local commands (Army Component Command) based on a specific assigned colony, though the destruction of many of these worlds in the Covenant war resulted in most of these being "temporarily" disestablished and replaced by sector working groups on Nexonia Prime and Gliese Dawn 491b. UNI-CCOM has operational responsibility over Army units.
The Army has its own special forces, such as the Army airborne, Foresters, and Army Rangers, which are likely organised under the Unified Special Warfare Command (USW), or simply Special Warfare Command (SPECIAL-WARCOM). SPECIAL-WARCOM detachments are organised into "Groups," such as Special Warfare Group Nine. As well as specialised maritime forces known popularly as the "wet navy." Army submarine arsenal ships and aircraft carriers are critical components in colony planet defence.
====Air Force====
The NXSC Air Force serves as the primary air combat department of the NXSC. Contrary to their name, the Air Force does not simply operate aircraft within a planetary atmosphere, but instead focus on maintaining aerospace superiority over a given planet via the use of unmanned drones, crewed aircraft and orbital weapon platforms. The Air Force operates a network of quick rapid reaction Squadrons on Nexonia Prime and in the Inner Colonies, which are prepped and ready to deploy atmospheric fighter craft and military spaceplanes at a moment's notice.
These strike craft work alongside surveillance and weapons satellites to attrition an attack and assist Navy elements on station - this task saw the Air Force rack up a considerable kill ratio against Colossian invaders during the War despite their slight disadvantage in technology. The Air Force's atmospheric forces are primarily comprised of unmanned drones such as the LC5 Cyberbat which are deployed in large numbers, though they are augmented by crewed multi-role craft such as LX-M3 Broadsword interceptors, FM-37 Longsword fighters and even L-65 Rapier strategic bombers.
The Air Force's collateral functions include;
*Deployment and maintenance of NXSC unmanned defence satellites and orbital weapon platforms.
* Monitoring and regulation of military and civilian orbital activities.
*Proprietary Development of doctrine, procedures and equipment that are of common interest to the Army and Navy.
*Furnishing support and space support for the Army and Navy.
===== Special Air Combat =====
The Special Air Combat is the Air Force branch's elite special forces, specialising in piloting starfighters and utilising them in very dangerous direct engagements on and off planets. While the Air Force's main starfighters are the Jackal and Longsword, the SAC is known for their widespread deployment of the acclaimed FM49 Sabre supreme starfighter, a design so impressive that it racked up three times the kill count of any known starfighter in service due to their capable pilots and iconic maneouvres.
The Special Air Combat's functions include;
*Engaging enemy craft both in and out of planets.
*Intercepting pirates' looting and trespassing activities on authorised restricted sectors.
*Provide even superior fire support for space, ground and navy personnel in combat.
*Pilots are expected to perform dual roles, ship assault and infiltration.
====Office of Supreme Naval Intelligence====
The Office of Supreme Naval Intelligence (OSNI) is the UAG's premier intelligence service. The organisation is ostensibly and bureaucratically subordinate to the NXSC Navy, yet due to nearly a century of growth, it retains practically complete autonomy. As a result, OSNI has taken over the responsibilities of previously independent agencies such as the Department of Elite Colonial Security (DECS) to become the sole major intelligence organisation in nevian space. The Commander-in-Chief of the Office of Supreme Naval Intelligence (CINCOSNI) leads ONI and has a seat on the NXSC Security Council. In terms of administration and overall culture, ONI remains closely linked with the Navy, though collaboration at the flag officer level is fraught with political risk and bureaucratic manoeuvring.
OSNI's collateral functions include:
*Deployment of covert teams for direct action and technical data collection, unsanctioned or sanctioned.
*Oversight of the gathering, analysis and dissemination of national security information from around the UAG.
*Development of doctrine, techniques and equipment for the collection and exploitation of information in support of UAG security.
*Providing combat support intelligence for NXSC Armed Forces operations.
*Establishment of covert observation systems around enemy colonies and facilities.
To achieve its goals, OSNI is divided into five sections (Known as sectors) that each specialise in different aspects of intelligence gathering, analysis and dissemination. Each section in turn, has its own compartmentalised teams dedicated to more specific long-term tasking and program management.
====KNIGHT Ops ====
KNIGHT Operations (unofficially known as the "Knight branch") was established in 2751 as the sixth military department of the NXSC, in responsibility of overseeing the Knight supersoldiers. KNIGHT Operations, unlike the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force, is not a formal military branch recognised by UAG legislation, but rather a "continuous organisation" lacking express legal status. Instead, Knight Operations operates as a "elite army unit" (disliking the term special forces) that reports directly to the NXSC Security Council, shunning the OSNI control that characterised the KNIGHT-II and KNIGHT-III programmes in the early part of the 29th century. The Knight Operations programme is directed by the Commander-in-Chief of the Knights (CINC-KN), a non-voting advisory seat on the NXSC Security Council established in 2760.
Unlike the rest of the NXSC, the Knights do not operate a strict escalating rank structure and instead operate in a strict framework that emphasises teamwork, co-operation and specialisation based on personal skill alone. This is the result of a deliberate effort to emphasise the informal leadership traditions of prior Knight programs and adapt them to emphasise independence of rigid chain of command adherence. As such, all Knights receive a direct commission as an officer in the NXSC, though this authority typically does not extend outside of their direct chain of command. Nonetheless, NXSC personnel in the field are often expected to defer to Knights and in turn, Knights are expected to take the initiative in combat scenarios. The baseline Knight role sees a given supersoldier tasked with the equivalent authority of a Lieutenant in the Navy, with higher ranks awarded appropriately equivalent officer status.
Knight are typically deployed in fireteams of 4-5 personnel, with each member assumed to be omni-capable in most disciplines. As such, they are typically expected to develop specific highly-specialised skillsets known as "Specialisations" to further aid their team and enhance their subject matter expert status. Fireteams are generally assigned based on social dynamics and combat efficiency, though Knights are expected to perform well in any unit.
Alongside the Knight personnel themselves, KNIGHT Operations operates its own network of infrastructure to serve as training and stationing grounds. These include orbital training stations such as Remika, Kastovia and Urzikstan, alongside smaller Mil-Sim Wargames platforms known as Phantasma Platforms.
==Public Perception==
The civilian people has praised the NXSC's pre-war and wartime policies, which ultimately proved to be extremely effective, but the Insurrection despised them to an extreme degree. Beginning with the implementation of the Brixton Protocol and martial law, the NXSC conducting a political takeover of the UAG and CMA branches, and its generally authoritarian military policies championed throughout the Nevian-Colossian War, the NXSC's public image has dramatically improved, while Insurrection and the Dread Legion's hatred has increased. However, other planets viewed them as kind of evil due to their extremely militaristic policies, which was derived from Panamoan culture.
Leaving aside the political, goverment and scientific aspects, the NXSC has a completely good reputation when it comes to the military. Unlike the dubious intelligence outfit known as OSNI, the NXSC's Army and Marine Corps have a strong reputation as battlefield heroes and are fierce warriors who never back down, even if it means sacrificing themselves. The Air Force and Navy have similar reputations, but the Navy is divided because to its "intelligence unit," the OSNI or Office of Supreme Naval Intelligence, which engages in a variety of nefarious operations while serving as their intelligence unit.
Though there are forms of Nepotism, which was being controlled during the late 30th century owing to the KNIGHT supersoldiers. Margaret Kennedy is an extreme example, being favoured for her work over the KNIGHT-SOLDIER Program despite her kidnappings and mass murder committed when her subjects failed, instead of simply letting them recover.
== Sponsored Manufacturers ==
Nexon Prime Space Command's extensive network of manufacturers and suppliers plays a crucial role in ensuring the availability of cutting-edge weaponry, armor, and equipment for their military forces. These manufacturers contribute to the NXSC's formidable strength and technological advantage.
Prime manufacturers include:
*Ionia Armoury - Ionia Armoury stands out as a key supplier for NXSC, providing a wide range of advanced weaponry and protective gear. They have been instrumental in equipping the NXSC with weapons from the 27th to the 30th century, ensuring that their forces are armed with state-of-the-art technology.
*UNSC Defence - UNSC Defence is renowned for its weapons, many of which are based on Ionia's technology. They are particularly noted for their innovative CV9 PAS railgun, which represents a radical advancement in weaponry. The collaboration with UNSC Defence allows the NXSC to access cutting-edge and unique armaments.
*Devcon Arms - Devcon Arms, a Panamoan arms manufacturer, offers conventional weapon designs. They are characterized by a distinctive green color scheme. Devcon Arms provides a practical choice for those seeking modern or advanced weapons without the bulk and unnecessary complexity, focusing on reliability and effectiveness.
*ARMAT Battlefield Arms (Defunct) - ARMAT Battlefield Arms was once a notable arms manufacturer for the NXSC. However, the company faced financial challenges and ultimately went bankrupt due to competition from Ionia and other factors. Their legacy remains a part of NXSC history.
*Nexon-Obelisk Driveyards (Spacecraft and Navy vessels) - Responsible for ships in their manufacture, repair and maintenance.
