Mechanocracy of Mankind

> *"To be brutally honest, ma'am, this **has** to be the maddest country in the entire Multiverse."*

## Introduction

The **Mechanocracy of Mankind** is a unitary, mechanocratic, quasi-theocratic totalitarian military dictatorship that serves as the successor state to Mechanocratic Russia, founded in 2172. Its capital world is the world-fortress of Jotunheim, and maintains command of several other coreworlds. Claiming control of 62,508 planets across 47 dimensions as of its foundation, it dwarfs almost every other major polity in existence, including its chief rival, the Imperium of Sidhae.

As is appropriate for its size and the nature of its governance, the military that it boasts is huge. Often referred to as *"an army that thinks it's a state"* with no small amount of objective truth, the Mechanocracy takes the old Juche tenet of 'military first' to unheard-of extremes. All but a few coreworlds are geared almost totally towards sustaining a colossal war machine, and nearly all of its subjects not located on these coreworlds are intimately involved with the armed forces. Needless to say, this is the main reason that it boasts one of the largest and most powerful, if not *the* largest and most powerful, military forces of any known human power. Its Starfleet possesses many thousands of starships, including 20 superheavy command ships (notably *Apokalypsis*-class dreadnoughts and the city-sized *Arkhont*-class superdreadnoughts) to turn upon any enemy with the brazenness to challenge this monolithic nation-cum-military.

Years of xenophobia and foreign aggression has resulted in the birth of a worldview based upon paranoia, extreme hatred and anger. The inhabitants of the Mechanocracy of Mankind, shortened to 'Mekhs' or 'Mechs', profusely distrust all foreigners and regard them as direct threats to the existence of their country and way of life. Many Mekhs truly believe that the rest of the Multiverse is out to destroy them, and thus it is deemed the manifest destiny of the Mechanocracy of Mankind to annihilate all enemies actual and theoretical before they can ever get the chance to enact their dreadful agenda.

Human supremacy is the other societal trait that the Mekhs have inherited from the original Mechanocratic Russia. However, it is taken to far greater extremes than the original Mechanocracy could even dream of. Non-Russian humans are only barely tolerated, while Frenks and Sidhae tend to be lynched on sight. This xenophobia has much basis, given that the Sixteen July crisis, the Flight of the *Polunochnaya*, the Singaporean Phantom Crusade and World War IV were all directly the cause of an aggressive foreign entity, rendering this attitude extremely unlikely to change within the foreseeable future.

Halls of Eternal Glory

Halls of Eternal Glory is a semi-mythical place in Sidh culture, where all those fallen in service of the Imperium and the Sidh race go to rest. It is both a physical place and a semi-legendary cultural concept.

## Overview

The actual Halls of Eternal Glory are a vast necropolis located on the Sidh holy world of Aedun. The name of every Sidh warrior killed in action across the vast Imperium's battlefields is meticulously inlaid in gold here, preferably along with a diamond made from his ashes. Those missing in action are customarily granted a place after 25 years of absence, unless their remains are discovered sooner.

The Emperor himself is also interred in the core of the Halls, his dessicated remains eternally seated on a throne watching over his ever-growing war-host of names and remains entombed as diamonds.

Because of this, the Halls command a great spiritual significance among Sidhae. Every Sidh hopes to die having earned a place in the Halls rather than being subject to recycling as ordinary dead typically are. The Halls have therefore attained a somewhat mythical status among Sidhae, being referred to much in the same way as Norsemen of old would refer to Valhalla.
Ekaterina Golovkina

> *"Hiding behind every thundercloud is a beautiful blue sky waiting to emerge."*
> ~ Golovkina, to Zinoviya Marilova.
>
>

## Introduction

**Ekaterina Golovkina** is a Populist affiliated with the ultra-hardline classicalist wing of the Mechanocratic Ideology. In addition to operating with the Popular Front, she also has strong connections to Narodnaya Volya, a terrorist organisation that enforces an ultra-orthodox Mechanocratic line. In the Alternative Canon, following the death of Vadim Churyumov in 2150, she becomes the group's figurehead, leading under the pseudonym 'Madam Katenka' out of the public eye.

Golovkina is most famous, however, for being the mother of legendary warrior Victor Golovkin, behind the political education of Elena Trotskaya (by request of her husband Ivan) and the orchestrator of 2137's Red Monday – the deadliest skinhead pogrom in the second quarter of the twenty-second century.

## Personality

Golovkina is almost the epitome of the Russian *babushka* stereotype: she is always ready with a piece of useful advice for her peers, and her public appearance is of a friendly, almost maternal figure. Her motherly demeanour is enough to charm almost anyone, whether they are seeking ideological guidance or simply stopping by for a visit.

Behind the façade of a humble and motherly woman, however, is the mind of a gelidly-ruthless and cunning individual whose moral code lies but a footstep from crossing into the badlands of sociopathy. Golovkina will not hesitate for a femtosecond to visit death upon anyone who she considers an enemy. Those who make the dire error of crossing her on a personal level have a habit of disappearing, only to be later found dead in the woods after multiple sessions of the calibre of hideous torture that would leave Thought Reassignment impressed.

Golovkina can even be considered the very fundament of Thought Reassignment, the populist having personally instructed Elena Trotskaya in the mechanics of torture during the brief time that they spent together in 2139. Combined with her ideologically-driven determination, it is little wonder that this unassuming housewife is close to the summit of the SVB's watch-list as one of the most dangerous people in Mechanocratic Russia.

## Notable appearances

* Golovkina first appears in *A Blood Debt*, giving her son Ivan's journal to help him look after Zinoviya Marilova. She is also the target of an assassination attempt by the Sixteen July Pact, which is foiled by Drakolich and Vyacheslav Drago.
* She will return in its sequel, *Flight of the Polunochnaya*.

Vozhdi

> *"Every wretch on these diseased streets, from the prostitute to the petty thief, is merely a puppet. The master resides in the darkness above. He may not be visible to us, yet he hangs under our noses like the miasma of decay."*
> ~ Mir, to Yelena Trotskaya.
>
>

## Overview

A **Vozhd** (Вождь - Russian: *Chieftain*) is a type of professional criminal in Mechanocratic Russia who enjoys elite status at the top of the Russian underworld's chain of command.

The Vozhdi are, for all intents and purposes, the evolution of the Vory v Zakone (Thieves in Law), in that they direct almost every illicit industry in the entire nation - with some also having foreign influence. However, where the Vory were open and brutally uncompromising about their criminal lifestyles, the vozhdi must operate within the framework of a totalitarian regime. As a result, vozhdi use a variety of strategies and devious tricks to keep themselves hidden from the prying eyes of the Ministry of Internal Affairs while conducting their illegal activities. For example, the Banshees - five female vozhdi who once dominated the gambling industry in Yalta - used lavish sex parties as a means to launder huge sums of money from their own otherwise-legitimate businesses (it not being uncommon for high-class women to demand exorbitant cash payments from the attendants of such orgies).

The most common method for a Vozhd to acquire wealth is to invest in a business, and then use the revenue acquired from that to buy control of a street gang. They then use the influence of one of these gangs to wipe out the local competition, thus monopolising their business and raking in the profits. From there they proceed to expand into more illicit operations, gradually building up their own wealth to exceptional levels and continuing to invest to their heart's content - or until they get caught by the authorities.

As mentioned, the Vozhdi typically originate from the wealthy upper-classes - again as opposed to the Vory, who arose from Soviet prison culture - and use technically-legitimate business to acquire their extraordinary wealth. This can make them exceedingly difficult to hunt down, this especially being the case with the most powerful Vozhdi who often have seats in the Mecharussian Senate (thus making them effectively untouchable).

## Notable vozhdi

* Szymon Rakowski, a Zapadoslav expatriate who commands the Balaklava syndicate. He is a member of the Nightfall Society, granting him access to the organisation's immense wealth of resources and a degree of power that overshadows even several national leaders.
	+ His son, Anatoly Rakovsky, controlled the syndicate's operations in central Asia. He controlled a vast sex trafficking and joywire-manufacturing ring, with his centre of operations being based in Ufa, Bashkortostan. He was killed in 2131 by Yelena Trotskaya, one of his panoply of victims.
* Tatiana Chernova, a lieutenant of Rakowski and former Banshee who assumed command of Yalta's gambling sector from her four associates.
Zerk

Zerk is an illegal street drug in the Imperium of Sidhae.

## Overview

Zerk, shorthand from "berserk", was originally developed during the early Reconquest Wars as a potent combat stimulant. However, it was soon found to have serious side-effects and it's use was thereafter discontinued. The drug did find a different use on the Imperium's streets, however.

Zerk produces an intense adrenaline rush, induces extreme aggression and overrides the sensations of pain, revulsion and fear. An individual on zerk will feel invincible, having a near-suicidal disregard for personal safety and no qualms about killing, maiming and committing other kinds of atrocities. The rush lasts for about an hour, followed by a hard crash unless another dose is administered. In principle, the subject could be kept in a hyper-aware and aggressive state for over 96 hours before serious health concerns would begin to set in. The recommended practice by Reconquest Wars-era combat medics would be to gradually wean the troops off the substance by administering progressively lesser doses.

Side effects of regular use involve violent mood swings, psychotic breaks with reality, depression, insomnia, cardiac failure and suicidal tendencies. Furthermore, regular use is known to cause heavy addiction, disrupting normal bodily responses pertaining to adrenaline release, sudden withdrawal being potentially fatal.

Zerk is consumed almost exclusively by Sidhae, the substance being too potent for unaugmented human physiology to endure without immediately-fatal consequences. Diluting it sufficiently to be endurable by baseline humans makes the effects little different from methamphetamine at a significantly greater cost, and several of the constituent compounds are toxic to the Skargh, leading the drug to be popular among Sidhae only.

On some worlds, unscrupulous Sidhae have developed a blood sport of "zerking" or "zerk-running". A zerk run essentially entails entering the local human ghetto armed to the teeth, taking a dose and then proceeding to kill as many human inhabitants as possible before the dose wears off, the one with the most kills being declared the victor. While the authorities do not much care about the fate of the human residents, zerk runs are still illegal on grounds of involving abuse of dangerous drugs. Most perpetrators, however, do not get caught, the Sidh authorities looking the other way as long as such outrages do not result in an uprising or riot. Any complaints are dismissed with the argument that humans are permitted to defend themselves within the ghetto.

Zyme

Zyme is a popular illegal street drug in the Imperium and the Federation of Mankind.

## Overview

Zyme was originally conceived as a drug that reproduced the positive effects of alcohol intoxication without the health hazards, negative behaviour changes and impaired judgement. Similar to the Frenkish soma, it essentially produces euphoria without the risk of poisoning or addiction.

While the substance itself indeed causes minimal addiction or poisoning risk, the psychological addiction to it can become quite severe, and as with most drugs, frequent use desensitizes the user to it, requiring greater and more frequent doses to get the same kick. Some variants of zyme also have mild hallucinogenic properties.

While considered a soft drug outside the Imperium, zyme still remains illegal both in Sidh and Fed realms, having no other practical uses than recreational intoxication. While it's use and possession is decriminalized on many Fed worlds, the Imperium continues to maintain it's tough stance on narcotics, their production, distribution and possession with the intent to distribute being strictly illegal and and attracting very heavy sentences.

Zyme dens, oftentimes operating openly, are a common sight in the Imperium's human ghettoes. While formally strictly forbidden, these establishments are usually overlooked (and sometimes also frequented) by the local Sidh authorities as long as their owners and customers behave. There have been calls to legalize and tax zyme, or at least decriminalize it, but thus far the Imperial authorities have firmly dismissed any such proposals as fundamentally contrary to the spirit of Sidh ideology.

The effects of zyme resemble alcohol intoxication and, depending on the dosage and brand, may also cause vivid and disturbing hallucinations. Fatally-overdosing the drug is nearly impossible even for a baseline human, excessive intoxication simply incapacitating and making one unable to continue further consumption, lending to it's popularity with the humans.

Timeline (MC2)

### 1945

* August 6th - An atomic bomb, Little Boy, is dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima in an attempt to drive the stubborn Japanese government into an unconditional surrender. This would be the first wartime use of a nuclear weapon in human history.
* August 9th - A second bomb, Fat Man, is dropped on Nagasaki. The atomic bombings, coupled with renewed Soviet military offensives in Manchuria and Sakhalin, prompts the Japanese surrender and brings an end to the Second World War.

### 1946

* November 10th - American researchers comb the irradiated ruins of Hiroshima, coming into contact with "unexplained phenomena".

### 1953

* April 13th - After rumors spread of a similar Soviet program being tested on American POWs from Korea, CIA Project MKUltra commences. At its core is the "cognitosphere theory", of which phenomena was frequently observed in "high fatality" WWII-era disaster zones, such as Hiroshima, Stalingrad and Auschwitz Concentration Camp. Despite knowledge of the concept, the various intelligence agencies involved in the studies were unaware of how the phenomena truly worked. The MKUltra years in-particular were notorious for illegal and unethical experimentation on unwilling and unwitting subjects with hypnosis and drugs such as LSD and Heroin in attempts to "tap in" to the mental power the cognitosphere could provide. By the end of the Vietnam War in 1975, US government efforts with cognitosphere theory is abandoned, and MKUltra shuts down.

### 1969

* July 20th - Apollo 11 Mission lands three astronauts (Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins) on the Moon's surface, ushering in a new era in the space race.

Xera Xezaxohr

Template:InfoboxCharactersNex

> *"The aroma of death, the notes of despair... this, is the Heaven long promised by God."*
>
>

> ~Xera Xezaxohr, treading upon the grounds of a new world that Todeswache conquered.
>
>

**Xera Xezaxohr** is a Plague Lord in service of "the One True God", and leader of Todeswache.

## History

His background largely remains a mystery; however, Shinji Sakahara seems to have knowledge that the Plague Lord was once an average human - his current appearance is a result of him allowing his flesh to fall off and wither away in a slow and excruciatingly agonizing process.

Sakahara and Xezaxohr had limited history during the Katarischian Crusade, during which Todeswache's then-leader was killed. Xezaxohr then led a "civil war" within Todeswache over succession rights, and emerged victorious, assuming control over one of the more powerful organizations serving under "the One True God".

After he led a few abortive conquest attempts against Phantom Crusade territories, Xezaxohr turned his attention to those other dimensions not already controlled by IOS-related forces. Despite a switch of strategy, Todeswache eventually clashed again with Phantom Crusade during the Singaporean Phantom Crusade, and forced to retreat from the dimension of the conflict with no territorial gain.

[WIP]

## Personality

Xezaxohr is restrained by absolutely no moral principle whatsoever, as is the case with any Todeswache member and leader, or indeed, any worshiper of "the One True God". In fact, Xezaxohr revels in any act of immorality - the greater it is, the more overjoyed he becomes.

The Plague Lord is not, however, to be mistaken for any simple-minded, berserk killing machine: without a sense of discipline, he would not be able to exert his authority over Todeswache; nor would he be able to conquer worlds in the name of his dark lord.

[WIP]
W1000 Laser Pistol

The Misriah Armories W1000 is an advanced laser sidearm, developed, produced and fielded by the New Frenco Empire. Being the standard-issue pistol of the Imperial Military since 2130, it is a commonly seen and recognizable weapon in the Frencoverse. It's capabilities are described as with any laser; extremely accurate, no recoil, and modest stopping power.

## Notable Users and Uses

* A "specially-modified" W1000 is the preferred weapon of Frenkish EmperorDerrick Zane. His favorite pistol was supposedly carried and used during the Canal War, though given the fact that the W1000 wasn't introduced until four years after the war had already ended, this can be considered an inconsistency/retcon.
* Leslie Chapman (at the behest of his superiors) carries a W1000 in *Red Planet**,* although it is never used.
* Hadrian Kelly is briefly seen wielding one in *To Struggle In The Way Of Allah* in anticipation of a Caliphate raid. Later on, Kelly is nearly executed by a blast from a W1000 in Mecca by a Vanguard Corporal.
* Jack Carver uses one during the climax of *Struggle,* attempting to execute Jane Smyth and Elena Trotskaya (mostly the former) with it.

## Trivia

* The name, appearance and general functionality of the weapon is based upon the Wattz 1000 Laser Pistol from *Fallout: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game* and it's sequel, *Fallout 2*.
Vaasi Idris

*"I see this far too often ... soldiers who believe they have seen it all, done it all. Trust me, 'hypersoldier' - compared to the spectacles that my eyes have witnessed in this galaxy, you have experienced nothing."*

~ General Idris, to Elena Trotskaya.

## Introduction

**Vaasi Idris** is a Utannic military commander who is responsible for coordinating the ground invasion of Mechanocratic Russia and the Old World Conglomerate in the Utannic invasion of Sol. He is especially notable for being one of the Utannic military forces' only males of high rank and status.

## Personality

Considered the direct opposite to his highly-temperamental counterpart, Admiraless Yuga Valeris, Idris carries about himself the atmosphere of a refined gentleman: he is humble (rather atypically for his kind), mild-mannered, respectful, and highly charismatic. Even as he lays dying at the hands of the wrathful Grand Curatrix Elena Trotskaya, he bears no hatred towards her, only profound admiration for her talent and fortitude.

However, his refinement is by no means to be mistaken for personal weakness: Idris is an exceptionally-talented commander and is more than happy to commit acts of extreme brutality if it furthers his agenda. These two traits make themselves especially clear when he orders his troops to capture and rape the mother of opposing Mecharussian general Victor Golovkin, Ekaterina, to successfully bait him into immediate and reckless action.

## Notable appearances

* Idris' first, and only, proper appearance is in the upcoming Main Canon RP *Contact*.

Zapadoslavia

The **Federative State of Zapadoslavia** (*"West Slavia"*) is a Tier III power spanning the territory of pre-war Poland, Czechia, and Slovakia in the Maincanon.

Considered one of the Old Nations' closest strategic partners, Zapadoslavia likewise maintains a large military and a semi-stratocratic form of government; it is engaged in persistent talks regarding further integration into the Old Nations. It also maintains close relations with the Baltic Union.

Zapadoslavia formed not long after the nuclear winter, coming into being as a union of surviving government structures and military formations.

Like the Old Nations, one of Zapadoslavia's primary focuses is its military, expecting to take a highly important role in any ON offensive or defensive actions against Mecharussia.
United European Mechanocracy

Template:Infobox Nation V1 (Nex)The **United European Mechanocracy**, officially known as the **United People's Mechanocratic European Commune** is a totalitarian mechanocratic state encompassing most of continental Europe, excluding the holdings of the Russian Mechanocracy. It also lays claim to but exercises no control over the British Isles, Iceland and Greenland as well as a number of smaller islands that were occupied by
various Frenkish-aligned nations during the European Civil War.

Established in early 2153 following a suspiciously well-equipped Mechanocratic revolution in the Czech Republic that quickly spread to Bavaria and much of Eastern Europe before expanding through the rest of the Federation, the resulting European Civil War of which resulted in the dissolution of the European Federation and independence of Great Britain, it is ruled by General Secretary Karel Anděl, former political prisoner and mechanocratic revolutionary.

It is often considered merely a puppet state of the Russian Mechanocracy by western people, owed to the fact that it required extensive support from its massive Eastern neighbor to survive during the civil war, ironically mirroring the sentiment most Eastern people have when looking back at the now defunct European Federation and the Frenkish Empire.

## History

The United European Mechanocracy's roots lie in the now defunct European Federation of the Post-War era, owing its existence to an organized uprising of various Mechanocratic, Neo-Stalinist and anti-Frenkish revolutionaries, partisans and assorted paramilitary organizations, most of which had been subjected to brutal Federal crackdowns due to alleged collaboration with as well as espionage and sabotage for the Russian Mechanocracy during the Second Russo-European War.

Karel Anděl, then imprisoned prominent member of the Czechoslovak Mechanocratic State Party became the overall leading figure of the Mechanocratic elements in European society after a daring mass escape from Landsberg Prison that left most of the correctional facility in ruins, ending his twenty year imprisonment.

Fearing a full-scale uprising in the Czech and Slovakian Republics (rightly so) if he managed to return there, the Federation declared martial law over the two states, quickly dissolving civilian governance, enforcing curfews and raiding homes of suspected sympathizers in the hopes of finding clues as to his whereabouts.

Predictably, this set off exactly the revolution they desired to crush in its infancy.

WIPPPPPP
ZU-85-4 Tsvesti

The **ZU-85-4 Tsvesti** (English: **Blossom**, nicknamed because the plasma flak clouds resemble blossoming flowers) is a type of heavy self-propelled anti-aircraft mounting used by the Mecharussian Armed Forces, equipped with four 85-millimetre RADAR-guided cannons to accurately shoot down large enemy aerial vehicles. Additionally, the high calibre of its guns allows the machine to seriously damage light ground vehicles and suppress heavier ones, though it is hardly a substitute for a dedicated anti-tank weapon.

As well as 'Tsvesti', the ZU-85-4 weapon system is unofficially referred to as the 'Fuck Gun' - a nickname given to it by Frenkish pilots during the Hokkaido Campaign, after the most common utterance made when encountering it.

The gun is most typically used on Aerofleet warships, often mounted alongside 2K48 plasma CIWS, but a ground-based self-propelled variant, the **ZSU-85-4**, features the turret mounted onto a **Kuznetsovets** armoured artillery tractor.

## Notable appearances

* The ZU-85-4, as used by the MSS *Polunochnaya*, is responsible for shooting down the Lockheed AC-620 Condor gunship chasing the Argonauts in *The Fourteenth Chthonian*.
Emperor of Sidhae (title)

Sidh rulers traditionally hold the title of the Emperor of Sidhae. It is the highest office of the Imperium and commands near-godlike reverence and authority.

## Overview

Although also denoting a type of monarch in Sidh language, the primary context in which "Imperator" is used in Sidh language is meant to denote someone commanding *imperium,* i.e., the authority to command, in a similar sense as used by Romans. Sidh language has different terms for varying degrees of authority, *imperium* being the highest, hence the holder of that authority being titled *Imperator*.

The following paragraph of the Statutes defines the role of the Emperor of Sidhae:

*The sovereign ruler of the Imperium, henceforth referred to as the Imperator (Emperor) of Sidhae, shall be elected for life in a general election held by eligible citizens. The candidacy for Imperatorship shall be open to any eligible citizen. The Imperator shall command supreme executive, legislative and judicial authority limited only by provisions specified in the Imperial Statutes.*

Although the Statutes specify the Emperor to be an elected official with dictatorial powers in all but name, thus far none of the Sidh leaders has actually attained power by means of a general election. The original Emperor was granted the title as the default leader of the Sidhae, his daughter the current Empress in turn securing her office after a lengthy civil war. Due to the Sidh reverence for their emperors and a general culture of conformity and submission to authority, neither case ever prompted the Sidh people to demand an election.

## Trivia

*Ave Imperator* (Hail the Emperor) is the customary salute used as the opening phrase in all official documents and public announcements in the Imperium. Although *Ave Imperatrix* is in principle equally acceptable, it is not used in formal setting and more commonly encountered in personal interactions under semi-formal circumstances due to the Empress distancing herself from the cult of personality of her father.
6B34 powered armour

*"Soldiers of the 13th century clad themselves in armour designed to deflect sword blows. Soldiers of the 21st century clad themselves in armour to deflect bullets. Soldiers of the 22nd century clad themselves in armour not just to stop anything, but start everything."*

~ Minvnusek Mikhail Solstheim.

## Introduction

The **6B34 armour suit**, more commonly known as the **Third Generation armour suit**, is a fully-enclosed suit of powered armour worn by the footsoldiers of the Mecharussian Armed Forces. It is the successor to the 6B25 powered armour, and the precursor to the 6B53 powered armour.

## Characteristics

Noticeably less bulky than its Frenkish counterpart, the M2 Tigress powered armour suit, the 6B34 manages to be just as durable, if not more so, thanks to its modular design. The 10-millimetre durasteel trauma plates are typically fixed to a lightweight exoskeleton, rather than the whole suit being one complete unit (as is seen in most American and later Frenkish armour models) - this has the benefit of making the suit more compact while retaining its phenomenal durability. It is also much easier to maintain and repair if damaged in battle: the affected armour plates can simply be detached and repaired independently of the rest of the suit.

Additional protection, particularly against electromagnetic pulse and energy weapon attacks, comes from a synthetic polymer skinsuit, typically worn under the exoskeleton, and a servo-loosening mechanism that still enables the wearer to move post-EMP, but with somewhat reduced mobility.

The helmet is outfitted with a respirator, tactical heads-up display, inbuilt voice amplification and translation software, and a sonar pulse projector. In addition, the helmet is where the primary power source - a small deuterium battery - for the rest of the armour suit is located. The primary reasoning for locating the power source in the helmet is to make it as difficult as possible to disable the suit without killing its wearer.

## Variants

The **3.5-Gen** suit of armour, given the designation **6B45**, is a modernisation of the suit that resolves many key flaws in the original model. It is lighter in weight thanks to a slight reduction in plate size, which also makes it slightly less durable. This, however, is compensated by the exoskeleton's being outfitted with a Faraday cage, making it immune to EMP and other electrical-based attacks such as from Tesla weaponry. This model is typically worn by Spetsnaz troopers as well as airborne infantry, and is differentiated from its standard variant through a third optic on the helmet as well as by its slightly darker colour scheme.

Another variant of the 6B34 is outfitted for Space Marine usage by including a jetpack and heavier plates to compensate for increased bullet velocities in a spatial vacuum. Occasionally, a huge durasteel hook will be built into the armour for piercing spaceship hulls during boarding operations.

## Trivia

* Like other power armour suits used by the MAF, the 6B34 is based from that worn by the Helghast army in the *Killzone* series of video games (this particular suit is one used in *Killzone: Shadow Fall*).
Viperwolf

Viperwolves are medium-sized pack-hunting carnivores native to the Federation jungle world Pandora, being since introduced to many other planets throughout the Imperium and the Federation. They are known to be tenacious and highly intelligent hunters, and are also reputed to be very caring and protective of their young.

## Overview

The viperwolf is vaguely equivalent to Terran canids in it's appearance, habits and ecological role. Standing roughly 1.2 meters high at the shoulder, the size of a large dog, the viperwolf even visually resembles a Doberman somewhat. Travelling in packs 12-36 strong and made up of breeding pairs and young adult creatures, viperwolves prowl the forest floor, their smaller size and powerful claws also letting them scale the lower trees.

Like most Pandoran fauna, viperwolves are hexapedal, a response to the low gravity and high atmosphere density of their homeworld, and also share the same complex respiratory system as most other Pandoran beasts. Unlike pantheraptors which exhibit a tremendous size variety depending on what world they are settled, viperwolves do not demonstrate much size differences, being less dependent on gravity and oxygen concentration than pantheraptors.

Viperwolves are chase predators, pursuing, surrounding and exhausting their prey before moving in for the kill. Their lean, muscular bodies allow for extended pursuits and good agility. Viperwolves will also readily scavenge opportunistically from the kills of larger beasts, such as pantheraptors.

The creatures are clad in a thick black leathery hairless skin, similar to many other creatures of the forest floor. This tough hide protects them against thorns, poisonous saps and other plant-based hazards as well against predators and parasites. The viperwolves have two sensory stalks growing from their head, serving a similar function to the pantheraptor's, but not making for nearly quite as spectacular a threat display, it not being possible for the viperwolves to flare them up.

Despite their territorial and vicious nature, viperwolves are famous for being very loving parents, lavishing their pups with care and attention. Viperwolf breeding season goes on through the entire year, different pairs mating and birthing their litters at different times. During this time, the pair splits off from the rest of the pack and establishes their own den not far from the pack territory - usually well within earshot, other pack members still coming to their aid if warned about imminent danger. There are 2-6 pups in a litter. The pair returns to the greater pack once it's young are old enough to hunt their own foond.

Much like dogs, viperwolves also largely rely on their sense of smell to track their prey. However, they also have sensitive hearing and excellent night vision, as is attested by their green bioluminiscent eyes.
Yegor Bykov

Bykov as of 2153, scarred from the Battle of Tora Bora.

*"I was just one of those people who joined for the thrill. To see the world, and finally get one back on those who would harm us. But this stint has just left me wondering - who are the real monsters in this mess?"*

~ Bykov, confiding with Miguel Mendoza aboard the MSS Zmey ekranoplane.

## Introduction

**Yegor Bykov** is a soldier in the Mecharussian Armed Forces who first served in the Dnepropetrovsk Regiment before being transferred per orders of General Elena Trotskaya to the Special Purpose Guard Brigade. As one of the main characters of the Main Canon, he fought alongside Ivor Bulyagin, Boris Gorshkov and Arkady Grishenko in the Caliphate Conflict as well as against Narodnaya Volya during the Martian Crisis.

## Personality

Bykov exhibits stoicism, chivalry and intelligence, and is highly regarded by both fellow Mecharussian and Frenk alike. However, he is also deeply sensitive to death: he is prone to being saddened and, on at least one occasion, even becoming enraged if he learns of their demise. By the time of the Martian Crisis, however, this particular trait appears to have largely diminished. It is evident that Bykov has become a much harsher person, and he even seems to have developed a mild sadistic streak. This is likely as a result of Trotskaya's brutal training regimen.

## Notable Appearances

### Main Canon

* He appears in both *To Struggle in the Way of Allah* and *Red Planet*, as the former's Mecharussian protagonist and as a deuteragonist in the latter.

### Altcanon

* He makes a cameo appearance in the Aralkum wargames, where he is shown to be in command of his own squad under Gorshkov's platoon.

## Trivia

* Bykov is briefly mentioned as having a child in *Struggle*, though said child is not mentioned subsequently or beforehand in any other RP to date.
Shkval Active Protection System

The **6K30 *Shkval* Active Protection System** is a cybernetic augmentation created and utilised as an infantry-portable hardkill countermeasure system by the Mecharussian Armed Forces.

## Overview

The *Shkval* (English: Squall) APS was developed in the late 2120s under the direction of Ivan Golovkin, chief director of the Mekh Military Research Directorate. Essentially a downsized version of the *Uragan-M* APS found on armoured fighting vehicles, Shkval is a tiny shaped-charge embedded into a two-centimeter wide nodule on the body. The charge blasts a cluster of steel ball-bearings in a forward cone as shrapnel. After each blast, the shaped-charge must be replaced.

It does not make an optimal antipersonnel weapon, and it is useless against energy and high-velocity kinetic weapons in addition to overwhelming volumes of fire, but against large projectiles such as RPGs and grenades, it is devastating. Its targeting systems are directly linked up to the user's augmented sensory organs/processors - it can theoretically neutralise any incoming threat that the user sees, hears and even smells.

The Shkval system had initially been tested on heavy assault units and light mechwalkers, but the prototype was first used in combat by Yelena Trotskaya during Operation Weeping Sword, the counterinsurgency phase of the conquest of the Baltic Union. After the Drakon Brigade, the first Shkval systems would be issued on a general basis to paratrooper regiments in 2135.

## Trivia

* Shkval is based on the Typhoon Explosive System that appears in the *Deus Ex* video games, operating on the same principles. The key difference is that Typhoon is used as an offensive weapon, whereas Shkval is purely for defence.
