> *"Overriden servos severing muscle and tendon from attachment points; fear and anxiety-inducing images overrunning InfoLink systems to the point of forcing suicides; overloaded batteries resulting in lethal explosions..."* — **SIN** file on the **Minerva Augmentation Scare**
>
>

### Location

Across the Coalition of Congressional Republics; primarily Sol and the Core worlds

### Cause

Activation of trojan aug-virus within MinervaCorp firmware

### Target

Individuals with augmentations sourced from MinervaCorp

### Outcome

Depreciation of the stock value and company value of the Minerva Corporation; subsequent purchase by the Stapleford Group.

## Casualties

### Inquiries

Case *MinervaCorp Augmentation Mass Software Infection, y. 2684* by the Security Intelligence Network

### Suspects

Front for the Liberation of Human PurityMinervaCorp disgruntled employees

Stapleford Group

The **Minerva Augmentation Scare** was a horrific event that occurred on the 3rd of June, 2684 and was resolved nearly a month later on the 29th of June, 2684. Affecting all Minerva Corporation products through the instance of a well-concealed trojan hidden within augmentation firmware and update packages, the results of such infections induced mass injuries and even fatalities from incidents such as InfoLink-induced optical and auditory traumas, overloaded augmentation batteries and explosions, and the destruction of organic matter from the overworking of limb augmentations.

Killing over ten thousand people and severely injuring over one million across the Coalition of Congressional Republics in a virtual rampage spanning 26 days, such a tragedy destroyed the stock value and corporate credibility of MinervaCorp. The founder of MinervaCorp, Maxence Batteux, implicated in his suicide note the possibility of the Stapleford Group as the origin of this trojan, noting their increased interest in buying MinervaCorp outright as a means of absorbing competitor corporations and his steadfast denial against the idea being bought by such a mega-conglomerate. However, investigations conducted by the Coalition's Security Intelligence Network instead suspected either disgruntled employee involvement or the possibility of hackers from the Front for the Liberation of Human Purity having brute forced trojans into update packages in MinervaCorp servers prior to wireless dissemination.

The aftershocks of the Minerva Augmentation Scare lead to the General Congress of the Coalition passing the *General Congress Resolution 522-105*. This resolution enforced strict augmentation firmware protection and software encryption for all update packages and algorithms prior to the dispersion of augmentations to the commercial markets, and placed a vice grip on black market augmentations that had no relation to MinervaCorp or the Augmentation Scare.
Hermes (corporation)

## Hermes Cargo and Passenger Transport

**Hermes Cargo and Passenger Transport** (publicly advertised as simply **HERMES**) is a megacorporation dedicated to offering premiere cargo and passenger transport for systems within the Core of the Coalition of Congressional Republics. Hermes is one of the Coalition's largest transportation corporations, with only the Galactic Courier Service superseding Hermes in operational scope and assets.

Founded in 2247 as a competitor to the Galactic Courier Service in the wake of the end of the Corporate Wars, Hermes provides top-of-the-line public transport for the star systems of the Core via its passenger spaceliners (both inter- and exo-atmospheric) in addition to cargo freighters. Alongside the GCS, Hermes contracts the Coalition government to lease ships under the Coalition Forces Authority as escorts to defend against piracy.

Currently, Hermes operates in all twelve star systems of the Coalition's core. Its most busiest transport lanes that generate maximum revenue is the Hathor-to-Abol line, which runs through the profitable star systems of Sol and Elpis and features the industrial giant of Hathor as one of its two termini. Coincidentally, Hermes manages most public exports and imports in the core, being under license by both the Coalition government and smaller corporations to export trillions of tons of foodstuffs, water, fuel, and objects annually.
Treaty of Luna

The **Treaty of Luna** was a peace treaty signed between the rebelling colonies of Mars and their Earth-bound suzerains in 2052, following the First Martian-Terran War. Having only been possible due to the ingenuity of Martian military commanders such as Admiral Isai Sergeev and scientific leaders such as Constantine Sagong, the independence of Martian nations was enshrined in the treaty, in addition to being conferred equal rights in trade across the Solar System and their own abilities to form colonies in subsequent interplanetary bodies.

This treaty, signed on Luna, was ultimately the start of the powderkeg that would explode in 2065 to become the Third World War on Earth; this was as a result of the humiliation of the United Nations as a supranational entity, the resurgence of nationalism across Terran nations, and the desires of Terran nations to individually expand their holdings across the Solar System without the checks of UN bureaucracy. As the war consumed Earth, non-Terran identitarianism grew in response, leading to the consolidation of a general "Martian" identity and even the rise of outer system independence movements.
Octavia Maeng/History

## Background

### Childhood

Octavia was born to her father **Sang-Kyu Maeng** and her mother **Zara Maeng** (née **Hollander**) on the 14th of April, 2674 as an only child.

Raised deep within Jade City to a working-class family, Octavia grew up surrounded by the general atmosphere of crime, poverty, and struggle that punctuated life within the megasprawls of Hyperion. Her passage through basic public education, particularly at the Jade City 10th Precinct High School, taught Octavia the power and safety in physical strength and mental acuity, navigating the dangers present in schooling such as student gangs. As a result of her upbringing and environment, Octavia grew to encompass the stereotype of a tomboy, rejecting traditional femininity in exchange for athleticism and vigor.

When she was eight years old, Octavia's younger sister Rhea Maeng was born, and had thus saddled her with the additional responsibilities of looking out for the newborn while their parents continued to work. This, plus other factors in her life, subsequently built Octavia's mindset to be much more mature than the children and teenagers around her.

### College and imprisonment

When Octavia graduated from JC-10P HS in 2693, she had briefly enrolled in at a local campus of the Jade City Community College to pursue a field of engineering. However, during this period, she had became involved in a series of disputes with a group of women over purportedly stealing their property during a class session. As a result of these disputes, further escalation led to Octavia physically assaulting the women in early 2694, leading to her arrest and temporary imprisonment at a local jail.

Foregoing further collegiate education due to the compounded costs dealing with her case, Octavia accepted a sentencing that granted a special labor parole in contract with the rising Poros Bodyworks corporation.

Corporate Wars

The **Kanetomi Corporation** (金(かな)富(とみ)会(がい)社(しゃ), *Kanetomi-gaisha*) is an interstellar conglomerate megacorporation and zaibatsu that operates multiple eponymous subsidiaries, ranging from banks and security companies to manufacturing and transportation corporations. It is also the largest Japanese megacorporation in the Coalition, and has been ruled by various patriarchs and matriarchs of the Kanetomi dynasty since its founding in 2022 under Kijūrō Kanetomi. It has significant investments in the State of Japan and has its very own colony of Wadatsumi.

Kanetomi is the fifth largest megacorporation in the Coalition, behind that of the Stapleford Group, Chen Wu Corporation, Hinata Group, and the McCready-Kūron Corporation, and in front of the Souther Alpha Heavy Industries megacorp. They participate heavily in outbidding their fellow megacorporations in buying out smaller companies, and has been noted in using their security services as private armies against their corporate rivals. Most of the Kanetomi power structure revolves around the distribution of the Kanetomi dynasty within their corporate hierarchy, ruling their enterprises from Wadatsumi, Paradise, Tellus, and Japan.

Ever since its origins in 2022 and its gradual usurpation of old Japanese corporate assets, the Kanetomi Corporation has maintained a consistent collaborationist attitude with the Japanese government; with the rise of the CCR in 2077, this attitude has persisted with that of the Coalition government as a whole. The reasons for such was Kijūrō's original plan of collaborationism allowing for the opening of profitable private-public contracts between Kanetomi and various national governments of interest; this led Kanetomi to support the Coalition in the Corporate Wars as one of its few megacorporate allies. Although the Coalition technically lost these conflicts, Kanetomi was awarded a seat on the CCAC and has blossomed in power through government favoritism.

Mera

Outer Belt

 Confederated Republic of Mera (claimed)

Hathor Starzone

Chiyang

The **Mera system** is the gravitationally-bound system of planets, asteroids and celestial objects orbiting the G-Type main sequence star **Mera.** Of its eight planets, three are currently inhabited by permanent human populations, with the moons Nemty, Sachmis and Anat hosting non-permanent worker populations in corporate employ.

The Mera System also sports a primarily rock and metal-based asteroid belt between Djehuty and Themis, which is host to extensive mining operations and the CFA military facility Magnolia Station. Beyond Gjoll is the Outer Belt, a layer of space debris primarily composed of ice and leftover material from the system's formation.

Mera was colonized in 2216 by immigrants from the Hathor and Sol systems, part of an initiative to reduce rampant overpopulation on Hyperion and Earth respectively. While the initiative failed to meet expectations and goals, Mera's colonization established an integral location for resource exploitation, xenobiology studies, and overall Coalition reach into the southwestern quadrant. Mera has maintained a continually low population in comparison to the nearby core systems, albeit with steady growth thanks to an ongoing influx of scientific and material labor.

The Mera System's 2651 revolt against ongoing corporate encroachment and liberalization in regards to synth rights, upon which Mera was dependent in multiple fields, culminated in the signing of the Cornerstone Constitution and the formation of the Confederated Republic of Mera. The subsequent Meran War would last from 2651 to 2660, ending with the expulsion of Confederate civil government from the system and the subsequent Meran Cold War, a series of low-intensity conflicts across the planets Maat, Anput and Djehuty. The ongoing Operation Victory's Trident has ended this period, resulting in a resumption of peer conflict system-wide against Confederate remnant forces.
Alliance of Equity

The **Alliance of Equity** is the political coalition that is composed of the New Democratic Party, a sociodemocratic centre-left party, and the Human Progress Party, a metaliberal socially left-wing party. This coalition was formed in recent times as a result of the recent growth of alphaconservatism and metaconservatism within the Coalition of Congressional Republics — and, as a result, the growth of right-wing and centre-right parties in the General Congress of the Coalition. Due to its size in Congress (occupying 691 seats), the Alliance of Equity has often been the main force in overturning conservative bills and pushing liberal bills through the legislature.

The alliance has received criticism as acting as a "soft interface" between the megacorporations and the government, particularly from anti-corporate groups and individuals.

## Historical information

### Date established

2669

**Battlefleet Bahala** is a coalition of pirate fleets and warbands in the Mera starzone, claiming the rogue planet of Hungihong and various surrounding uninhabited systems to be a part of its effective control. Battlefleet Bathala is most commonly known for its exploitation of profitable trade lanes in the southwestern periphery of the Coalition of Congressional Republics to help expand its ever expanding grand fleet.

Battlefleet Bahala's history can be traced back in 2658 during Meran War when the heavily damaged ICSN Expeditionary Strike Group VII that was stranded in an unknown rogue planet, now known as Hunghihong, had its officer corps experience mutiny from Lt. Gregorio Iglesias and other discontented naval personnel. With the aftermath of the Meran War, the ICSN Expeditionary Strike Group VII would later be de jure separated from CFA Bureaucracy after being rebranded as Battlefleet Bahala.

*"Give me salt and vinegar and I'll eat his liver."*

—Gregorio "G.I. Joe" Iglesias

The grand fleet is decentralized and organic in its organization, with admirals having equal and shared power with the de jure and ideological leader, Gregorio Iglesias, in launching autonomous operations or creating new fleets despite being a de jure subject to the Bahala Code. Recruitment of new members are usually voluntary, with a large portion of its lower echelons being composed of peasants from underdeveloped peripheral worlds, unemployed workers, escaped convicts, and debt-trap victims.

Battlefleet Bahala also upscaled its activities recently from trade lane looting to direct planetary scale raids and atrocities. The most notable example of such activities is the Massacre of Mera.

### Developed from

D/CF-24 Icarus

The Souther Alpha **D/CF-24G Icarus** is a variant of the D/CF-24 Icarus, purpose-built for planetary invasion roles. Developed for the Interstellar Coalition Terrestrial Army's Aerospace Corps to facilitate planetary liberations following the escalation of the Mera Insurgency in the 2640s, the D/CF-24 Icarus platform was intended to be a spearhead preceding the deployment of 'wet' naval assets. Officially classified as an 'airborne destroyer', the D/CF-24 serves a multirole purpose as both a pivotal combat asset and a key component of C4I and logistics.

Two variants are primarily in Coalition Forces Authority service: the D/CF-24 and the D/CF-24G, which is intended to act as a large transport for planetary invasion forces.

Uchū Minzoku

***Uchū Minzoku*** (Japanese: 宇宙民族; *Cosmic People*) is a term originally coined sometime during the Second Renaissance to refer to those of Japanese ancestry who dwell off-world (i.e spacers); although not specifically indicating an economic class, *Uchū Minzoku* is now often used in modern connotation to refer to the Japanese-descended elite, such as members of the Kanetomi dynasty.
Archangel

**Archangel**, officially designated as **Hathor II**, is a warm terra world that orbits the main sequence star Hathor. Controlled by the Planetary Republic of Archangel, it is a constituency of the Stellar Republic of Hathor. The world serves as the primary supplier of food and other agricultural products for the Hathor system - in particular, Hyperion, the second-most populous world in the CCR.
Corporealism

**Corporealism** is a novel philosophy forged in the advent of mass virtual reality within the late 21st century. Seeking to value that of the corporeal and physical over that of digital simulations and virtual reality, it has held significant sway in human society following several incidents related to the digital, ranging from the Machine War that killed millions who had their minds hosted within VR to that of the modern use of VR and how it creates "societal dregs", according to conservative politicians.

Although heavily tied to conservative and traditional politics, all of the political spectrum can host corporealist tendencies.
Suzume Kanetomi/History

## Background

Suzume Kanetomi was born to her father, Isamu Kanetomi, and her mother, Chikako, on the 13th of April, 2673, within the grounds of the Isamu Estate on Inari. She is the youngest of Isamu's children and one of the closest of the hundreds of Kanetomi to inheriting the corporation, as she is fourth in the line of male-preferred succession behind her oldest sister, Takara, and her two older brothers, Sora and Isamuichi.

### Early childhood

From the very first day alive, Suzume was subject to a life of luxury and opulence. Being a highborn, she was a byproduct of genetic engineering—designed from within the womb, Suzume's physical appearance, intelligence, and health were all already planned for and maximized to the highest degree. However, even with all of these gifts, she was not seen as particularly special to her family; her brothers, sister, and parents had all been subject to the same practices.

Tadashi Katayama, a prominent up-and-coming *keibiin* from Kanetomi Private Security Enterprises, was chosen to be Suzume's sworn *goei* (or personal bodyguard) until death. He previously worked directly for her father, Isamu, by protecting the heir from a myriad of attempts on his life throughout the innumerable places he visited within the Coalition of Congressional Republics. Suzume bonded over time with him as she grew up, eventually coming to see Tadashi as more of a father figure than the distant Isamu. This was reciprocated in turn by Tadashi, who had no children of his own.

Suzume, upon turning three years old, started her education under the auspices of Isamu's "court": a myriad of the brightest tutors that money could get, both synthetic and human, visited the Isamu Estate to confer Suzume their aptitudes in the sciences and the arts.

### Friendship with Denbe; adoption of Akira

When Suzume was six years old, she was taken by her mother to familiarize herself with the Hoshino clan: one of the two prominent cadet branches of the Kanetomi dynasty. She met with many of these distant relatives on Tellus and eventually befriended a Hoshino boy by the name of Denbe, both of whom sharing a great interest in the history of humanity. She and Denbe would frequently play around Sakura Castle in Kawato, emulating various figures from history with the help of droid and human servants.

## Historical information

### Date established

2575

The **Astralland Autonomous Kingdom** ( **Abbr.**  ***AAK***), also more popularly known as the **Kingdom of Astralland**, is a monarchy that exists as an autonomous sectoral entity within the Coalition of Congressional Republics. One of the most powerful colonial sectoral subdivisions in the entirety of the Coalition, Astralland is responsible for over fifty percent of all agricultural exports for the eastward colonies of the CCR and is home to a multitude of high-quality vehicle and weapons manufacturing guilds that operate independent of the corporate hierarchies throughout human space.

Attaining autonomous status within the Coalition as a result of the Astrallander Rebellion from 2567 to 2575, Astralland prides itself on being the "last bastion" of human sociocultural and economic traditions. This takes primary form in its economic system, which is considered "neofeudalist" in nature and directly assigns a hierarchy of citizenship and resource distribution. Major aristocratic families alongside religious organizations (primarily of Christian nature, militarized or otherwise) hold the bulk of economic power through subordinated guilds and enterprises, replacing the culture of modern megacorporations elsewhere. Even so, Astralland has one of the highest human development index scores in the far reaches of the Frontier.

As of 2698, the kingdom has closed its borders to non-Astrallander citizens, only allowing entry of merchants and Coalition government or military personnel. This is a result of the recent flux of migrants to the sector from various wars and squalid conditions across the Coalition, in addition to piracy causing colonization and mining operations to falter throughout the Frontier. This border closure is being enforced by the Royal Armed Forces of Astralland, or RAFA, which boasts a number of high-quality light space vessels.
Graviton

A **graviton** (also known as a **gravitic particle** or **baroton**) is a massless, spin-2 particle within the tensor-boson family, and is the elementary particle that mediates gravitational interactions between all mass-possessing objects in the universe. First anticipated by the French polymath Pierre-Simon Laplace, it was theorized to exist by Soviet scientists Dmitrii Blokhintsev and F. M. Gal'perin in the 1930s. However, it would not be until the completion of the Graviton Detection Project in 2056 by a multinational assembly of scientists centered in the European Federation that gravitons would be proven to truly exist. This project's findings would hen become fundamental in the work of Dr. Vittore De Simone, an Italian physicist, who released the *De Simone Postulation* amidst the Third World War in 2066. His work, which expounded upon the properties effects of the graviton in relation to brane states of objects and potential faster-than-light travel, would become key for the understanding of barospace, the creation of the barodrive, and the eventual start of the interstellar civilization of humanity.
Stellar Republic of Hathor

The **Stellar Republic of Hathor**, also known as the **Republic of Hathor** or simply **Hathor** in some instances, is a widely populous and powerful interstellar republic within the Core of the Coalition of Congressional Republics. Containing the industrial superpower Hyperion in addition to other worlds such as Archangel, it is the largest populated republic in all of the Coalition, and sits in the second-most populated star system of Hathor (behind that of Sol, which is still split into individual nations).

Established in 2199 with the consolidation of all political entities in the Hathor star system under one, Hyperion-centered government, it rose at the end of the age of the Planet Rush and at the dawn of the Second Renaissance. Its government, heavily inspired by the functions of the United States of America (one of its mother nations), placed all member planemos under their own devolved governments that handled planetary matters.

The Stellar Republic of Hathor is considered to be the most diverse of all human countries as a result of the migrant booms it undergoes; not only from Earth in the early 22nd century, but also from other colonies across the Coalition.

## Astrography

The Stellar Republic of Hathor lays claim to the Hathor star system, which exists at the edge of the Core of the Coalition.
Rostov Chemical Plant

The **Rostov Chemical Plant** was a major chemical manufacturing and refinement plant located within the city of Jensenfeld on Hyperion, owned by the Rostov-Mallet Chemical Corporation. It was destroyed on June 26th, 2696, during the Destino Bombwave, by the Holy Army for the Salvation and Liberation of Humanity as a result of a remotely-controlled aerocar carrying an IED detonating near a major store of ethylene oxide; this subsequently resulted in a five-kiloton explosion that killed thousands both from the blast and subsequent chemical contamination.

The grounds of the plant have been cleared, but as of 2698, have yet to be purchased by another private entity due to the high price placed upon it by Rostov-Mallet in its selling bid.

### Nickname(s)

27th Special Activities Group
72nd Special Activities Group

### Engagements

Corporate Wars

**Solitaires** are the most enigmatic of the special forces of the Coalition of Congressional Republics, formed in the wake of the newfound rapid expansion of human space following the Dark Years and the need to rein in the increase of insurrectionism and separatism in the Coalition's colonies. As rebellions waxed and waned, the training and missions of Solitaires expanded to include conducting assassinations and mass psychological warfare, using both friendly and enemy populations as attack vectors.

The term "solitaire" arose for these individuals from those who had limited contact with them in the Security Information Network, seeing how their operations were conducted almost entirely solo. In fact, Solitaires were not even a part of the SIN—for purposes of operational security, their only appearances in Coalition records were as the fictitious 27th and 72nd Special Activities Groups, which were active until the end of the Corporate Wars in 2245.

Psychological and bioaugmentation protocols used for the training and indoctrination of Solitaires were appropriated as the bedrock for later Coalition supersoldier programs such as SERPAHIM, MANTICORE, and PHOENIX. Despite being intended to be intelligence-oriented in objective, Solitaires (for those who know of their existence) often refer to them as the "first supersoldiers".
Ork Naysh

### Territory

**Hyperion** Tombstone and the Fallen City, Jade City, Coon Town**Earth**: London Underground, New York Megasprawl, Moscow Megasprawl

### Leader(s)

Supreme Chieftain Harold "Bloodtooth" Macaw

The **Ork Naysh** is an international gang composed of heavily biomodded humans colloquially known as *orcs*. Originating from the underground urban networks of London, the Ork Naysh quickly exploded in membership following the proliferation of cheap and illegal biomodification technologies across Earth (and later Hyperion), reaching an apex of over five million members in 2650 prior to the SIN's Operation Greenskin in cooperation with Terran and Hyperian authorities.

Ork Naysh was originally formed under the first Supreme Chieftan, Gerolf Sammed, who was a veteran of the Interstellar Coalition Terrestrial Army and the British Army, which was a Combined Member National Subcommand element. Sammed, alongside many of his fellow soldiers, turned to biological modifications such as musculoskeletal enlargement and hormonal overexpression as a means to become more powerful. Although not explicitly against cybernetics, the embracing of biological modification has allowed the creation of the **orcs**, which constitute the membership of the Ork Naysh and all share similar biological traits such as enlarged muscles and skeletons, abnormal skin tones such as green, and large lower canines.

As of 2698, the gang numbers nearly one hundred thousand strong, with most members being located in different orc tribes across Hyperion. Structure-wise, the nation is ruled by the Supreme Chieftain, with individual chiefs being responsible for their respective tribes and geographical areas. The high leadership of the gang is rumored to be on Earth and somewhere within the London Megasprawl, but the SIN have been unable to deduce further as to Harold "Bloodtooth" Macaw's whereabouts.
Corinth

The planet of Corinth, with a Category 1 cyclone on the Lord's Ocean visible

**Corinth**, also known as **Gabriel V**, is the capital world of the Stellar Republic of Gabriel in addition to being its most populous colony. Having been a temperate marine terra world since its terraformation in 2500 and initial settlement in 2505, Corinth now serves as the new epicenter of agronomic philosophy and Christendom within the Frontier thanks to its population almost entirely being composed of ardent Roman Catholic farmers. It is also one of the most competitive agricultural exporters within the Frontier, with its market being sought after thanks to national policies emphasizing minimal genetic editing of its crops and livestock.

As of 2698, the world has a population of 2.8 billion. The largest city and capital settlement of Corinth, Saint Peter, only has a population of 200 million; the rest of the 2.6 billion present Corinthians live either in small communal towns or in solitary agricultural plots across Corinth's rather flat surface. Immigration to Corinth is extremely controlled, with only baptized Roman Catholics being considered. Even so, the government of Gabriel has nevertheless opened Corinth to limited tourism opportunities, bringing in much needed foreign capital that has helped enrich the world's infrastructure.

Lacking a proper moon or axial tilt, seasons do not fluctuate highly on Corinth; this has led to often year-round growing seasons at the equator's "green belt", with northern and southern latitudes being reserved instead to mining or dedicated insulated greenhouses and pastures.

天野 竜夫

**Tatsuo Amano** (天(あま)野(の) 竜(たつ)夫(お), *Amano Tatsuo*), mostly known by his pseudonym as the **Heavenly Dragon** (天(てん)竜(りゅう), *Tenryū*), is a legendary manslayer in the Naraku Arena. He was first introduced as the protagonist and point-of-view character in the Splash of Blood storyline set in Kamiizumi, a village within the Kusanagi Megasprawl.

## Background

Prior to the current storyline, Amano, alongside his widowed mother, older sister, older brother, and younger sister, were smuggled by the Four Seas Alliance (四(し)海(かい)連(れん)合(ごう), *Shikai-rengō*) into Hyperion's Kusanagi Megasprawl as cheap laborers from Japan after they inherited his late father's generational debt owed to the Yakuza.

Noted for his fighting prowess, he was released from the factories after years of slave labor and he was pressed into service in the Shinsengumi where he received military training and served as a soldier in the **Azure Dragon Unit** (青(せい)竜(りゅう)部(ぶ)隊(たい), Seiryū Butai) prior to an incident which prompted his banishment.

Presently, Amano is a vagabond who was contracted by Osamu Miyashita (宮(みや)下(した)修(おさむ), *Miyashita Osamu*), also known as King Enma (閻(えん)魔(ま)大(だい)王(おう), *Enma-daiō*) as a manslayer in the Naraku Arena in exchange for the protection of his family from loansharks sent by the Yakuza.

## Trivia

* **Nomenclature**
	+ Amano (天(あま)野(の)) - *Heavenly Field*
	+ Tatsuo (竜(たつ)夫(お)) - *Dragon Man*
* The "heaven" character of his surname (天(あま), *Ama*) and the "dragon" character of his given name (竜(たつ), *Tatsu*) can shift their readings from kun'yomi to on'yomi and compounded to form his infamous pseudonym, the **Heavenly Dragon** (天(てん)竜(りゅう), *Tenryū*)
Kurohane no Tachi

**Kurohane no Tachi** (黒羽の太刀; English: *Blade of the Black Feathers*), or simply **Kurohane**, is the personal sword of Suzume Kanetomi. Like the many swords that have been made for members of her family, Suzume's was handcrafted according to her personal preferences by Yuudai Kanetomi's personal swordsmith, Hiroshi Santiago.

Kurohane is a *tachi* with a black tsuka ito and red samegawa, hosting golden sparrows embedded into its surface. The sword also sports a white ribbon hanging off of its end pommel. It has her name inscribed on one side of the blade, the symbol of the Kanetomi dynasty on the habaki, and the motto "Keizoku wa chikara nari" inscribed on the other side of the blade.
Hypernet

The **Hypernet**, also known as the **Meganet** or the **Holonet**, is the final stage of human intercommunication within the Coalition of Congressional Republics. Composing all of the individual stellar-wide networks of various star systems and interconnecting them through the use of courier ships and server stations, the Hypernet makes use of the vital faster-than-light travel employed by the Coalition via barospace to systematically disseminate information on an interstellar scale.

The hypernet is highly synonymous with, but is not to be confused with, the **InfoScape**; it serves as the hypernet platform for almost all human digital applications and products.

## Function

In essence, the **Hypernet** serves as an amalgam of all individual and functional "starnets", or networks that exist within the astronomical confines of a star system. These starnets use light-speed communications for intrasystem communication, but must rely on courier ships that use faster-than-light travel through barospace in order to disseminate this information on an interstellar scale.

When courier ships arrive in a target star system, they dock at a server station and upload all astrocoded information that was downloaded onto their databanks from a prior star system. This means that digital information bound for the next star system over do not get transferred during this process - unless caught by interception at the server station.

For processes that extend over several star systems, such as the superturing cyber defense artificial intelligence known as PROMETHEUS, partitioning occurs - often with the use of courier ships specifically allocated for that process. For example, PROMETHEUS uses its own array of courier ships to maintain vigilance over the miscellany of individual starnets of the Coalition, and splits its intelligence into smaller portions autonomous to specific starnets that disseminate information to the mother intelligence in the Solar System.
Amrita

**Amritas** are individuals who have extended their lives in pursuit of biological immortality, namely through the usage of rejuvenants and related medical technologies. The etymology for the term originates with the concept of amrita (अमृत), a nectar made for the devas of Hinduism to which they derived their immortality from.

The first Amritas rose during the onset of the Second Renaissance, when biotechnology towards the pursuit of immortality was finally beginning to materialize in the mid-22nd century. However, by 2600s, the bulk of the first generation of Amritas have passed away, almost exclusively through euthanasia, as a result of extreme psychological degradation that rendered them permanently insane or catatonic.

Hyperian Baptist Convention

The **Hyperian Baptist Convention** is the largest union of Baptist churches on Hyperion. With the faith having been brought to the world by Baptist Americans in its novel years of human settlement, the Convention is also one of the oldest denominations present on Hyperion (alongside that of the Hyperian branch of the Roman Catholic Church), having been founded in 2100.

## History

The Hyperian Baptist Convention was founded in the early days of Hyperion's colonization by a small group of Baptist American colonists who had migrated to the new world in search of a better life in 2090. These pioneers found themselves in a land of untold opportunity and a chance to create a new life for themselves and their families. As the colony grew and more settlers arrived, the Baptist faith began to take root and spread, and it was not long before true Baptist congregations began to form.

In the early years, these congregations were small and scattered, meeting in homes and prefabricated buildings that served as impromptu churches. However, as Hyperion's population continued to grow, so too did the Baptist faith. In 2094, the first Baptist church was established on Hyperion on the eastern coast of Albion, and over the years, more churches were founded across the Hyperian continents as the population continued to expand.

By the mid-22nd century, the Baptist faith had become one of the dominant Christian denominations on Hyperion, and in 2100, the Hyperian Baptist Convention was officially established. The Convention served as a union of Baptist churches across the planet, providing support and resources to its member congregations.

In the years that followed, the Hyperian Baptist Convention continued to grow and evolve with the booms of Hyperian population growth and immigration rates. It established its own digital seminaries and training programs to educate new pastors and missionaries, and it also became involved in a wide range of social and political issues on Hyperion, often siding with the Congressional Republican Party of Hyperion.

One of the defining moments in the history of the Hyperian Baptist Convention came in the mid-23rd century, when the Convention rallied alongside hundreds of other religious organizations on Hyperion to muster humanitarian aid and support for the population, both during the Corporate Wars and the following Coalition Reconstruction.

Today, the Hyperian Baptist Convention remains one of the most influential and respected Christian religious organizations on the planet. President Alexander Foulke of the Stellar Republic of Hathor is a member of the convention, having given it widespread attention in recent years. It continues to provide spiritual guidance and support to its members, and it remains actively involved in social and political issues on Hyperion, working to promote Christian morality and ethics amidst the raging tides of technological domination.

### Date established

**Automobili Balistreri** is a premium Italian automobile manufacturer that produces luxury terrestrial and hover vehicles for both civilian and racing use. Based in the Elysian Heights borough of Jade City on the continent of Albion in Hyperion, Balistreri is owned by Sperling AG, which in itself is a German subsidiary of the Japanese Hinata Group. It operates thousands of dealerships across the Core, with the most amount of locations on Earth, Tellus, and Hyperion.

## Overview

Balistreri was originally created by Alberto Balistreri following the collapse of Earth-centric automobile corporations as a result of supporting the Coalition of Congressional Republics during the Corporate Wars in the 2240s. Many Italian corporations at the time, such as Ferrari and Lamborghini, were transferred to the control of the new Sperling automobile megacorporation, which was in turn purchased by the Hinata Group. Alberto, a high-ranking member of Sperling, was granted the rights to consolidate Ferrari and Lamborghini assets together and organize a new subsidiary corporation under his purview.

In the modern day, Balistreri is one of the largest luxury and supercar companies, only rivaled in scope by Kanetomi Motors, Stelzner, and Imperial.

## Vehicles

The vehicles manufactured by Automobili Balistreri are some of the highest quality consumer vehicles on the market, only being beaten by the hyperspecific and tailored-to-order Royale corporation.

Their introductory vehicle, the terrestrial Starlette, was the first post-Corporate war luxury sports car model to exist, and was created with the help of Ferrari and Lamborghini engineers that were inducted into the corporation. With an opening purchasing quantity of nearly 10,000 vehicles in 2250, the eventual success of the Starlette with corporate elites allowed Balistreri to expand their horizons. The first Balistreri aerodyne, the Starlette Aero, was released in 2253 and cemented the corporation's share in both luxury terrestrial and hover vehicles.

Their most recent release is the limited edition Balistreri Supernova, which has been equipped with a novel RME 700 Hesperochiron hypermagnetic electric motor and released on January 2nd, 2698. 15 of these vehicles have already been purchased out of a max pool of 20. The president of the Stellar Republic of Hathor, Alexander Foulke, owns one of such a rare vehicle.
Planetary Republic of Hyperion

Flag of the Planetary Republic

The **Planetary Republic of Hyperion** (officially the **Planetary Republic of Hyperion, Icarus, and Paradise**) is a devolved governorship of the Stellar Republic of Hathor, which in itself is a member republic of the Coalition of Congressional Republics. Holding sovereignty over the planet Hyperion and its satellites of Icarus and Paradise, and simultaneously holding the seat of Hathor's stellar government within the capital city of Port Bremerton, the Hyperian Planetary Republic is the largest single administrative division by population in the entirety of the Coalition as a result of its combined population of 680 billion. Although not surpassing Earth in population, the combined planetary system of Hyperion also serves as one of the primary loci of influence and power within the Coalition thanks to its mixture of manufacturing abilities and servicing might.

The Planetary Republic was formed in 2199 with the reorganization of polities in the Hathor system under the new Stellar Republic of Hathor. Having united the previously autonomous continental republics, alongside that of Icarus and the under-construction ring of Paradise, the Planetary Republic of Hyperion quickly became a central nexus of population growth within the Coalition. Functionally, it is a devolved republic, with the ability to make specific laws that do not impact other planets in the Hathor star system.

The **Obasee Empaya**, or alternatively the **Alaeze Okwu Obasee** in Igbo, is a Nigerian criminal organization based in the city of Maratone within the continent of Destino on Hyperion. Originally a gang formed by Obasee Madou to protect Igbo ethnocultural interests within the Nigerian quarter of Maratone, it has quickly grown in size to also include Yoruba and other Nigerian-descended groups. It is currently ruled by Madou's son, Ibezimako Obasee.
New Democratic Party

**Factions**:

* Metaliberalism
* Paleoliberalism

The **New Democratic Party** (acronymized as the **NDP**) is the one of the major political superparties represented within the government of the Coalition of Congressional Republics. It was founded in 2409 from a merger between the old Coalition Liberal and Coalition Labor Parties as a response to the birth of the Congressional Republican Party, and was first headed by Garrison Rocheford.

The NDP advocates sociodemocracy, a form of democratic government with "social awareness" that incorporates aspects of old world social democracy and democratic socialism, such as basic public healthcare and a basal form of welfare for all humans. However, the NDP is simultaneously a major proponent of megacorporations, neutering its capacities for further social policies — this is in part due to several megacorporations and corporate individuals directly or indirectly endorsing the NDP's "*status quo*" objective.

As of 2698, the NDP is the largest political party in the General Congress of the Coalition, and has formed the Alliance of Equity with the Human Progress Party to maintain a larger heading over the more fragmented centrist and conservative parties. The "power base" of the NDP lies mainly within the Core, but has member subparties and favor as far as some colonial systems on the Frontier. However, due to the Guillén synthetic scandal of 2697, the party has seen an erosion of power, with some members having drifted to the HPP in support of synthetic rights and opposition to the NDP's handling of the situation - and others drifting to more conservative parties due to the NDP's lack of ideological indignation towards synthetics.
Wildspace

**Wildspace** is a term that is used to refer to regions of space that lie outside of the zone of control of any major polities. As of 2698, this currently qualifies anything outside of the borders of the Coalition of Congressional Republics. Most novel human colonies that seek exemption from the processes of the Coalition are set up beyond the Frontier and within Wildspace due to the relative isolation. However, this endeavor is exceedingly risky and often ends in failure; an example of this is the Apophis star system, where attempts to colonize the border of the Nightshade Nebula ended in shocking failure for still unknown reasons.
