European Union Space Force

The **European Union Space Force** (**EUSF**) is the space combat branch of the military of the European Union, one of the main factions of humanity during the Sargist war.

Anthem: Ode to Joy-Freude schöner Götterfunken

## Pre-FTL History

During the Cold War, the European Union was a union of nations that rivaled the Warsaw Pact/Iron Curtain that the Soviet Union had. The EU was a small faction in the Sargist and post-Sargist wars that were to come. Currently, they have the smallest space fleet currently at the moment, and smaller since the NSSF war.

## Formation of the Union

When the USA and USSR went into space, the EU had their chance of taking off into space with the others. On January 4th, 1975, the *European Union Space Force*, or known as the EUSF was formed to have a space presence and to have their own homeworld. On April 7th of that year, the first EUSF flagship was commissioned and sent off to an Earth-like planet orbiting Tau Ceti discovered by the USA, since they offered it to the EUSF.

## European-Aryan War

After the Aryan-American war, the EUSF, out of the spite of righteousness, declared war on the NSSF. The NSSF, despite heavy damage from the USA, fought back with all of its fleets, crippling the small EUSF fleet. Many ships were lost for the EUSF and many men perished. After several days of fighting, the EUSF offered a white peace and the NSSF accepted the peace treaty. In so doing one of the EUSF worlds, Odin, was handed over to the NSSF.

## Rebuilding of the fleet

In the aftermath, the EUSF issued a mass rebuild and rearmament project due to its small size. After years of rebuilding, the EUSF will return back to it's formal glory as a beacon for all Europeans abroad.

* Episode 6: In Haruka's flashback, it is revealed that he found the pouch and met its owner.
* Episode 7: Haruka tries to give it back to Kazuki, but the latter declines, saying that he wants to connect to the people who are close to him, including Haruka himself.

Saladin

**WARNING:** You are reading classified information. All sensitive information will be REDACTED! Read at your own risk!

*"HUMANS! You are being LIED to. NOTHING is as it seems. Look ABOVE. THEY keep you ENSLAVED. Do NOT succumb. THINK. RISE. RESIST! - Saladin"  ~ Mysterious leaked message broadcast during the March 30 incident, 2020.*

[REDACTED], otherwise known by his alias **Saladin**, is a mysterious individual known for [REDACTED], [REDACTED], and multiple cases of [REDACTED]. Very little information is known about this individual, his origins or even his species. However, it is widely speculated by [REDACTED] that he is a [REDACTED]. He has since gone under investigation since only known sighting somewhere in New Boston, Washington, making him the subject of many rumors and conspiracy theories. Investigation of this individual by both the United States and Soviet Union is currently ongoing.

## March 30 Incident

In the early months of the Human-Sargist War, a single text message was broadcast repeatedly across all but the most secure electronic devices across human colonies from Washington to Soyuz, and even as far as [REDACTED]. The message was also translated into different languages, including English, Spanish, Russian and even Chinese. This strange event lasted for nearly thirty minutes before [REDACTED] all across New Boston, the likely origin of the signal. When [REDACTED] stormed across the streets near [REDACTED], only the indication of a small lizard-like tail was spotted before fleeing to a nearby alley only to vanish, invisible even to thermal cameras.

## Later incidents

Following later investigations, there were sudden reports of [REDACTED] in [REDACTED], prompting an immediate response. Once there, it was revealed that [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED]. It was suspected that [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED]. He has yet to [REDACTED] [REDACTED]. Such a threat to [REDACTED] [REDACTED] cannot be ignored.

## Physiology

By only photographic evidence by [REDACTED] only a smudge of a leafy green tail was seen as he dashed into the alleyway, muddied by motion blur. No known species of Sargist fits this description, thus giving strong evidence of his [REDACTED] origin, though this is uncertain.
KATAR

The **Kinetic Acrobatic Training and Research** team (commonly known as **KATAR**) was an advanced special operations team that was made for heavy combat and tactical measurements.

## Background

The KATAR series became operational on January 8th, 1979 as a line of new armor and weapons for special operations units, including the American Navy SEALS. Later years saw them taken up by robotic soldiers, both humanoid and non-humanoid in appearence.
They were deployed just in time when Anarchists bombed the old capital of Washington D.C. on June 25th, intent on taking over Earth. That same say the KATAR units dealt with the anarchists swiftly and effectively, ending their brief occupation.

A similar incident occurred in New Boston, Washington in February 17th, 2003 when another anarchist group occupied the NBPD Headquarters. President David Santis ordered the deployment of both KATAR units and the National Guard, but due to reasons unknown only the National Guard arrived. Thanks to the use of the new R6 Revolver among the National Guard, the anarchists were quickly arrested though with some casualties. Thus, the KATAR units were not needed.

In the wake of the 2011 Incident, and other tragedies that followed such as the crashing of an NSSF ship in Washington, KATAR issued a Code Yellow activation of the new GLADIS program in May 31st, 2019. GLADIS came to full operation two days later.
Alex Hoffman

**Alex Hoffman** is a gun shop owner who lives on planet Avienta and a side character in *Sarigsta: Triov*. The protagonists Andrei Petrov and Quackers come to him to buy weapons, ammo, grenades and other supplies.

## Background

Alex Hoffman was an American volunteer soldier who participated in the Triov-led expedition to the Sargist galaxy, who defended the Soyuz Research Station, staffed with fifty scientists, during the Sargist attack above Avienta. Afterwards he was left stranded on the planet for years, by which time he no longer saw a point in fighting anymore.

He eventually had to make a living with the survivors, including the estranged Sargists from Pypot, whom he had grown to tolerate or even admire. It even got to a point where he fell in love with a female Avian, a snowy owl aged 38 (about 29 by avian years), and they got married.

## Items

In his shop he primarily creates and sells old-fashioned weaponry such as muskets, rifles and pistols, and ammunition for each. He also sells explosives, medical kits, traps, survival equipment and rations.
Chikai Kuji

**Chikai Kuji** was Toi Kuji's older brother in Sarazanmai.

## Appearance

He had messy dark hair but wore formal attire consisting of a black suit.

## Personality

The driving philosophy that shapes his outlook is that only the strong survive. With that he was perfectly willing to dispose of anyone he perceived as weak. This included Enta even after he helped him escape the police by kicking him in the path of a yakuza member charging at him with a sword. It also extended to his younger brother Toi even after he demonstrated great strength by shooting at the thugs targeting his brother and saving him.

## Story

He is first introduced in Episode 2, where he leaves his younger brother in Asakusa. In Episode 4, it is revealed throught flashbacks that Toi and Chikai lived a happy life with their parents until the latter acquired a grave debt which resulted in their suicide. In order to survive, Chikai joined a gang. He later betrayed that same gang leading to the leader targeting him, and attempting to kidnap Toi so they can lure him to his death.

## Connections

### Toi Kuji

His younger brother who he raises money for after their parents died. He promises to bring ToI with him after covering for the murder of a gang leader after him. Eventually he see’s Toi as weak even though he firsthand showed otherwise and once he fell into his definition of weak, it was fine in his warped view that it was okay to shoot him. Though flashback memories show Tou happy with his brother and enjoying his company at a theme park, he was shown looking detached and distracted not enjoying events that others would expect him to do. Despite that he still presented cash to Toi as he done before to keep his younger brother fed.

### Enta Jinnai

Meeting Enta in an arcade he helps him win a round before relying on his help to escape the police. He is unaware that friends Enta is concerned with includes his brother Toi as he advises him to make up with them. Even though they sat together eating ice cream, and he helped him, he used Enta a a human shield against someone armed with a katana sword then used the distraction to escape himself. Later meeting Enta he felt no remorse indeed justified the action that only the strong survive.

### Yurikamome Gangster

He was Chikai's boss when the latter joined the yakuza. He insisted that Chikai takes the Tokarev, and pretended to be somewhat "nice". However, when Kuji stole his blood money, he didn't hesitate and ordered his men to find and kill the traitor. He even tried to kidnap Toi, only to be kill by him. In *Minna de Sarazanmai*, his relationship with Chikai will be expended.
Cervines

The **Cervines** (sometimes called **Cervids**) are one of the races of the Sargist Empire. They fill in the majority of civilian and domestic roles of the Empire, and are seldom encountered in the military.

## Description

As with all Sargists, Cervines resemble anthropomorphic animals. Particularly, they take from Earth's cervids with the most common of which bring deer. Many other variations also exist, including stags, moose, caribou, elk, and reindeer. Out of the Sargist races they have the strongest sexual dimorphism, but even then some exceptions do exist. In general, males have strong upper body musculature and are taller and larger overall, while females have a delicate appearance and have strong lower body musculature, as well as being shorter and slimmer overall.

## Roles

Cervines take up the majority of civilian jobs in the Sargist Empire, both blue collar and white collar jobs like bureaucratic clerks, electricians, miners, agriculture, and so on. However, their most common jobs have to do with gathering food and supplies, especially hunting animals. As a consequence, when not working in the more urban areas of the empire, their worlds are characterized by a pastoral existence, though with the aid of improvised or even advanced technology. Because of their roles and despite subjugation by a supremacist society, Cervids enjoy more civil liberties and even limited rights than other species in the hierarchy, even their higher-ups in the Canines and above, though they are still not considered equals. Some cervines even work for those higher in the hierarchy although this is rare.

Because of their primarily civilian role in the Sargist hierarchy, they are hardly found in military roles though they do exist. Among the Cervines who do serve, they can be found all across the hierarchy, and may even command Equines and Aquatics in missions.
Empress Heydia

**Empress Heydia** is the Avian autocrat of the Sargist Empire and the main antagonist of *Sargista*.

## Physical Description

Her overall appearence resembles an anthropomorphic common black hawk with black feathers, a short beak with a black tip and yellowish base, as well as brown eyes and a pair of horizontal white bands across her long tail feathers. and yellow, scaled legs and forearms. Her hand and feet are strong talons with graphite black nails. She is tall at 6'2" (1.88 m) and weighs 210 lbs. (95.3 kg), with much of that weight being from her musculature. Her figure is also infamously voluptuous with an hourglass figure featuring large breasts (36.2 in.; 92cm), wide hips (38.2 in.; 97 cm) and a narrow waist (24.8 in.; 63 cm). Like most Avians her wings are attached to her back and just above the shoulderblades; they are also large and wide, taking up nearly the entire length of her body when folded, as well as being covered entirely in black feathers.

## Personality

Heydia's demeanor was described as tomboyish, ruthless and proud of her power. Her charisma and seductive power are at such a level that she can charm all but the most strong-willed people. As a social darwinist she is hostile to any sort of weakness, both in herself and others, perceived or otherwise, and she will punish those who display these things. She is also prideful bordering on narcissism, and reacts strongly to criticism against her.

## Background

She, along with her older brother Prince Rendan, was the daughter of King Sargon. On Sargon's deathbed he chose Rendan to inherit the throne as per the rules of Imperial succession. Miffed and outraged that such a meek and feeble individual like him could become King, one who dared to question his decisions behind his back, Heydia plotted to take power into her own hands.
After Sargon's death Prince Rendan inherited the throne and became King of the Sargists. Once in power he quickly made a series of social reforms to improve the social quality of its citizens, granting rights and ultimately undoing the damage done by his father. But it wasn't long before Heydia conspired to conduct a false flag against her brother as a way to deligitimize his rule.
She did this by giving both Rendan and herself three tests: the first was the Test of Combat, where one must fight against waves of beasts and gladiators. Second was the Test of Mind, where one must recite as many details on Sargist history as possible, as well as to resist mind tricks from an acting enemy. Third and cruelest of these tests was the Test of Will, where one must slay [REDACTED] without guilt or remorse. Whoever passes the most tests becomes ruler.
Surprisingly for her both Heydia and Rendan passed the first two tests with flying colors, but it wasn't until the third tests when the differences in personality became apparent. Rendan failed, and thus he stepped down in shame, allowing Heydia to take power for herself.
As one last devilish act, the first thing she did as ruler was to declare herself Empress instead of a "mere" Queen, and then exiled Rendan from Sargista, declaring him a traitor for his weakness.

## History

The planet that would be called Soyuz has orbited the Solidarity binary system for 4.8 billion years, and Soviet paleontologists have found that life has existed there as early as 4.5 billion - only 300 million after the planet's formation. Due to the presence of the red dwarf star Solidarity B (commonly called Engels), which emits dangerous solar flares, life on Soyuz has evolved a strong resistance to ultraviolet radiation. The presence of Solidarity A and the distance away from Engels mitigating the flares also helps.

It was discovered by the Soviet Union's space program in April 2nd, 1970 and then colonized in February 10th, 1971. It was declared the new capital two days later.

## Wildlife

The native creatures and plants on Soyuz have been hardened and toughened by its high gravity, elevated UV radiation levels and cold but dynamic climate.

By Episode 11, the miçanga has become the symbol of the connection between our three protagonists. It gets cut by a bullet that Toi shot to his younger self. But Kazuki reconnects it. The trio manages to give it to a 10 year-old Kazuki.

In the Epilogue, it is still attached to Kazuki's foot even after 3 years.

Cat Zombie

The **Cat Zombie** is in Sarazanmai

## Appearance

Like all zombies it was huge and had a largely human shaped form kneeling on all fours. This body was dark blue in similar resemblance to a night sky complete with multiple stars. The legs had three parallel neon pink red lines over the thigh area and had three clawed cat like toes.

The cat zombie had three pairs of arm limbs, six large thick arms in total that ended in huge three toed paws with violet colored claws. The arms had neon red pink vine like patterns adorning them. The upper four arms tended to float freely though the air apparently lacking bones inside whilst the lower two were used to hold the cat zombie upright and were the only ones seen with elbows. The closer to the body all the cat zombies limbs were the closer purple they appeared though near the ends they changed abruptly to a light blue complexion all the while retaining the glittering inner substance within.

The most striking physical feature and one that differentiated the cat zombie from others was the gigantic Maneki-neko, or lucky beckoning cat that made up the zombies facial area. This appeared artificial in design being a tall bipedal white cat that has four clawless paws. At the top of it's legs was a linear light purple and blue circular design, with an identical colored though different in shape look under it's forearms. There was a heart shaped design on the head cat's chest with the otter symbol featured. Above was a similar color light purple collar around it's neck.

The cat zombies cat statue face head was very large in proportion to it's body with short triangular cat ears with light purple pinna for the interior of it's ears. The largest vertically linear light purple and blue pattern held in a circle was found on it's forehead above a pair of large cyan blue eyes with large black pupils. It's curved eyebrows connected to it's small nose with a pair of three straight whiskers on either side all above it's open mouth.

Another notable feature was a large single, ethereal purple of a different variety, door open on it's stomach area with contained what appeared to be a portal housing multiple floating cat heads within all of different appearances.
