Boreas

**Boreas** was a terrestrial planet found in the EXM63 Galaxy. The planet is atrociously known for the *Third Army* repeatedly committing war crimes on various members of the Galactic Republic; most notably Nexus Prime. A Totalitarian government utilised a caste system, which regrettably constraints their citizens' freedom in their daily lives. Bearing a humanoid species called **Orions**. The planet is most notably known to have a very intense rivalry with Nexus Prime, whom they repeatedly committed atrocious war crimes to Nevians; Creating a century-long war between the two planetary bodies. At 1998 the planet officially authorised global Totalitarian government, making the lives of all their citizens a living hell.

Boreas is a large sized arctic Terrestrial planet in the Southern sector of the EXM63 Galaxy. The surface went through an extreme form of Permafrost; leaving a few room for oceans to thrive on the planet. Despite freezing temperatures the planet is notably overpopulated, by modern standards. The largest ocean is "Dan Frenoit" (pronounced Fren-hwa); their main source of water for their use in daily basis.

## Overview

From space, the planet of Boreas looked like a pale blue orb due to its dense snow and ice covering. Most of its surface was covered with glaciers, tundras, frozen forests and frozen ice plains. Another third of the planet was covered by oceans. The temperature, although always frigid, was known to drop to -74°C come nightfall.

Because of the little amounts of ocean water It pushed the rich and the poor to fight for water in most cases. Because of the arctic surface, Orions are 100% carnivorous, sometimes even resorting to cannibalizing poor commoners in order to surive.

Boreas' unforgiving temperatures in the planet are so frigid, that all kinds of drink, soups and various beverages should be served hot, not cold in order to avoid freezing whilst maintaining their taste, freshness, or nutrional value. The average temperature in the planet is -48°C. Making the poor Orion commoners on the planet develop furry skin to adapt to the temperatures, while middle class and upper class citizes retain a humanoid appearance.

Though the planet is coved with gigantic glaciers, tundras, and winter forests; it is heavily urbanized, particularly in one section of the planet, that serves as their entire military's headquarters. Notably called as "The Dome".

## Society and Culture

> "Boreas is the only planet worthy of ruling the galaxy, not those diplomatic peacekeepers."
>
> — The Orion High Council

The entirety of Avalon, the last major city that has been transformed into *The Dome*, is ruled by a totalitarian (Orion High Council) government (founded by Jokari Malkovich, Henry Castle and El Kassel) whose influence and rule extend, but is not limited to the planet and it's moon, also their space outposts. The High Council members are elected but this is simply a facade and Council members remain on the Council for their entire lives. Their society is deeply militaristic and heavily authoritarian and social status is based *largely* on individual citizens' appeal and actions to the regime. Their High Command &Council empire are also known to have a secret police organization known as *Orion Inter Police Force*. Posters warning Orion citizens that they may be monitored by an organization known as **Colonial Arctic Internal Defense** (CAID).

Boreas' society is also heavily influenced by state-run propaganda, as the state-sponsored propaganda center, the "Orion Heart", controls much of the spread of information within Orion territories, going so far as to block out any Galactic Republic transmissions to their own space. The OHC also maintains mandatory labor camps to gather more resources to fight Nexus Prime and the Galactic Republic. The reason for their own commoners as the labor rather than autonomous robots or machines (which OIA are shown to have an abundance of) could mean that it is meant as a punishment handed down for crimes against the regime. The largest camp located outside a militarized zone of The Dome.

The Orions worships strength and power, with the Council *proclaiming* that victory is ultimately superior to the truth. For the Council, the domination of Boreas with the help of any trustworthy ally by triumphing over the EXM63 Galaxy is the ultimate measure of right and wrong, with the conquest of Galactic Republic being viewed as the main goal the Front should aspire towards. The Council also has disdain for individual freedom, purely focusing on the collective good.

Comments by Orion military personnel indicate the OHC controls the reproduction of its populace, or at least access to sexual intercourse, with something officiated as "procreation permits". These permits may be suspended during battle operations (to the consternation of the enlisted men), though officers, Council members and High Command are exempted. It would appear that there is a black market within their empire for these permits, which was influenced by the Coalition of Independent Planetary Bodies.

Despite the OHC/High Command despising the Galactic Republic's great efforts on the EXM63 Galaxy, they utilize the standard currency called "Galactic credits", or GC for short.

### Culture

Their culture has is harshly bizarre and had little in the way of embellishments, decoration or ornamentation, reflecting their utilitarian, functionality first approach to life, likely caused by having to live in the harsh environment of their frigid planet and the outer space. Even their preferred writing font is delivered in a consistently utilitarian style, likely to make it easy to read. However, acronyms of important organizations, such as the OHC itself or the CAID, are often shown in a stylized font which is harshly angular and somewhat abstract. The OHC acronym is located on political uniforms and vehicles.

The Orion High Command/Council insignia is an irregular hexagon, composed of interlocking shapes, and can be found in either monochrome or color. The interlocking shapes features the three militaristic colors, Crimson, Pale green and White.

The Orion military also seem to cover their equipment in what appears to be graffiti, such as "BLOW UP IN A PILE OF SCRAP!" on their armored fighting vehicles, which reflects on how blowhard their military is in terms of their achievements and capabilities.

Orion citizens have a variety of accents, though they seem to mainly be German/Evalkan and Russian/Soviet, with some Panamoan, Aryan and Monterissan accents. Orion soldiers though are known for chatting in a "Millenial" manner, such as when eliminating a group of enemy vehicles, they usually say: "Obliterate those MOTHERF\*\*\*\*\*\*!".
