Maia

## Overview

**Maia** is the capital planet of the Legacy Federation and is also home to the dominant ruling faction within the Federation, Sayaris. It was here that the future of humanity was born, its citizens paving the way for peace between galactic giants and holding the keys to the trade lane that brought human colonies together.

## Climate

The climate of **Maia** is unique and was partially selected for colonization due to its uniqueness. Although the air is breathable to humans, the fauna and wildlife is exceptionally foreign to what could ordinarily be found on Earth. Specimens transplanted from the human homeworld to Maia have found little success, and instead a market was discovered for the export of exotic plants and wildlife. Today, plants, trees, and animals from Maia can be found across the galaxy.

The soil on Maia's surface is a red-brown shade, with most plants sharing the same colour and instead only being a couple shades darker. The thick forests in the northern hemisphere are noticeable from orbit since the rest of the planet is mostly covered in red plains and little thick vegetation.

Weather on the planet is mild. Severe storms are a rarity, with tornadoes and hurricanes only being recorded a handful of times since colonization. Seasons are equally mild, with winters only resulting in a drop of 3-4 Celsius from the summer average. As a result, growing season for crops is nearly year-round.

Most wildlife is made up of small herbivores. Any carnivorous species are usually small, insect-like swarms that feast on carcasses and injured animals. Humans are typically unaffected by these as long as they carry anti-carn, a spray for repelling these swarms.

## Common Use

**Maia** has a **CONDITIONAL** Common Use policy. You are free to create characters and organizations that make their home or do business here, but must pass influential events through its owner first.

Human Sphere

## Overview

The **Human Sphere** is a reference to all galactic space that is occupied primarily by humans. There is nothing specifically unique about the term, instead being colloquially used by civilians and politicians alike. Regardless of the independence and competition between the Legacy Federation, Thesian Republic, and Aurelian Dominion, they all exist together within the Human Sphere.

Comparatively, using Human Sphere in conversation is similar to old Earth lingo such as "across the globe" or "globalization".

Human Unification War

## Overview

The **Human Unification War** took place between the years 6996 and 7067. It followed the development of the Yutani Drive which allowed Earth to finally end the Selerium Shortage Crisis. Forming the Terran Confederacy, Earth embarked on a journey of conquest across the stars to unite all human colonies under a single banner. It was deemed the perfect opportunity to create the first ever human galactic empire.

The Unification War was long and laborious primarily due to manpower restrictions. Many efforts by the Confederacy were more along the lines of ousting planetary governments and coming in as saviors with the weaker colonies, while the stronger colonies required a more active military touch. Planetary sieges often took years, with many planets abdicating and pledging themselves to the Confederacy as a result of starvation or a general inability to acquire more resources. In particular, worlds that mined a majority of their resources in asteroid belts were quick to starve out.

However, not everything was a game of covert operations or military sieges. Some human colonies openly welcomed a Confederacy overlord. Some political and economics analysts have speculated that the main reason for the Confederacy's victory in less than a century was the fact that so many worlds knelt without a fight or resistance.

7067 marked the year when the last independent human colony, Monolith, pledged allegiance to the Confederacy after a nearly 20 year siege. The Human Sphere was painted with the colours of the Terran Confederacy at long last. This accomplishment would not survive, however, as only four years later the Terran Civil War began.
Human Era Calendar

## Overview

The **Human Era Calendar** is the replacement for the original Gregorian Calendar used in pre-FTL human history. With the same month and day structure, the only real difference between this calendar and its predecessor is the way years are counted and referred to. Humanity naturally strayed from religious beliefs as time progressed, with those identifying with a religion becoming a minority by the time the Terran Confederacy formed. In conjunction with the Human Unification War, the Earth government also instituted a new calendar system.

The Gregorian calendar has a period of time that uses B.C., Before Christ, and then switches to using A.D., Anno Domini. The Human Era calendar merges these two and begins counting years from the earliest record of written human history which was once understood as 4000 BC. The year AD 2000 would be 6000 HE.

When discussing events before written human history, scientists do not use a specific calendar system beyond the consistency of what a year is. For example, a geological event from a million years ago would simply be referred to as an event that happened a million years ago, without any form of further designation as would be common with the Gregorian calendar (such as modern human evolution occurring around 50,000 BC).

What defines a year in the Human Era calendar is consistent with Earth's orbit, and other human worlds typically have two clocks: one that is local time, and one that is converted to the time on Earth. Yearly celebrations are often based on Earth's year cycle instead of the local planet's.

In essence, the Human Sphere makes a concerted effort at standardizing perception of time, utilizing Earth as the reference point. Those on other worlds typically are required to learn two different time scales to ensure maximization of efficiency for work on their planet (such as agricultural seasons) while still being in sync with Earth (birthdays, holidays, time keeping for galactic occupations).
Caprica Dock Service

## Overview

**Caprica Dock Service (CDS)** is a corporation based on Exeter within the borders of Caprica. It is the largest spacecraft manufacturer in the Legacy Federation. CDS is responsible for the development and manufacturing of spacecraft such as the CDS-40 Farsight Science Vessel and CDS-20 Talon Light Fighter.

## Common Use

**Caprica Dock Service** has a **CONDITIONAL** Common Use policy. You may create characters that are employed by CDS but must pass influential events through its owner first.
Concord

**Concord** is a non-complete terraformed world that lost all its funds except for enough to maintain the status quo during the Venkath Onslaught. Originally considered an ideal candidate for environmental transformation due to its large reserves of trapped water under the sand dunes above, venture capitalists would pump in a large reserve credits into atmospheric stabilizers, domed cities and deep surface mining equipment. In the war against the venkath, venture capitalists found it more profitable to sell the machines that were to be used for purposes of creation, to be re-purposed for matters of war. What wasn't sold was later seized by a wartime Terran Confederacy government, violating the fleeting rights of the colonial upstart. What wasn't sold and what wasn't seized would fall into disrepair and later captured by marauders to hold the planet hostage, threatening to turn off the atmospheric stabilizers if not paid their tributes.

## Politics

### Deep Mistrust

Still burned by the memories of having important infrastructure and resources liquidated for the war effort, Concord shows great resentment toward the Terran Confederacy and demands reparations from the Republic today. Given Concord's lack of wealth and a long list of bills and project costs, there has been little movement to make amends with Concord. Instead, the Republic has encouraged Concord to stay the course and give up on its ambitions to repair its fragile enviornment.

## Places of Interest

### Air Terraforming Plant

Located on the outskirts of Landfall, the *Air Terraforming Plant* is directly operated by the Concord Valley Authority, a government agency. One of the largest surviving plants to have survived scrapping, the terraforming plant pumps in large amounts of breathable oxygen to Landfall and connected bubbled cities.

### Earth Terraforming Plant

Operated by the Citizen's Action Group, a company that argued to save the Concord project, the *Earth Terraforming Plant* is critical in attempting to create lush biomes under the safety of domes.

### Rock Terraforming Plant

Operated by the Hyperion Corporation, the *Rock Terraforming Plant* is critical in local efforts to "shape" the terrain of the plant through the creation of artificial rivers and lakes.

Ypres

**Ypres** (pronounced: eep-res) is an abandoned world, considered lost during the Venkath Onslaught. For a world that had borrowed its very name from the Christmas Eve 1914 trust between Germans and British that allowed opposing sides to share in gifts, stories and fun for at least the night, this planet found no such peace. Most of its infrastructure destroyed or damaged by the war and its population harvested, the planet was left at a token population, downgrading it from planet class *dense*, to planet class *sparse*. Many that survived fled to other worlds. Those that could not afford escape or chose not to, would try to rebuild.

## Politics

### Lacks Representation

Ypres was invaded, evacuated and lost its status as an inhabited world. With the declaration of existence of the Thesian Republic, it shortly gave Ypres representation, but withdrew it nine years later. As such, Ypres has no representation in the Agora, but is still considered a colony of the Republic.

Poenari

Poenari during moment of MLEDD impact.

## Overview

**Poenari** was the homeworld of the venkath people and used to be classified as an Ultra Dense planet before its destruction in 7149. Xenoclimatologists used footage from a system surveillance probe to hypothesize that the planet was once a lively world, made up of harsh brown soil but a healthy animal-based ecosystem dotted with deep valleys and mountain ranges.

Water coverage was estimated to be around 43% and it was assumed that most of the venkath people lived underground or in buildings that were built into the mountains. Theories for this included harsh surface weather or simply a preference for the cold and darkness.

Human intelligence agents were not able to determine the true population count of the venkath homeworld before its destruction. Officially, the loss of life is described only as an "inconsolable number of lives". Some small factions of people through the Human Sphere have rallied for a galactic holiday to be inducted to honour the countless civilian lives lost on Poenari, however this has met severe scrutiny from veterans and patriots alike.

## Destruction

*To read more on the destruction of Poenari, please check out the Poenari Destruction section on the Markus-Lindholm Entropy Detonation Device page.*

Poenari was destroyed by a collective Terran Confederacy fleet attack in 7149. It was destroyed through the use of a Markus-Lindholm Entropy Detonation Device. Rendered completely inhospitable, the planet survives today as a cold husk floating through space. The atmosphere that previously supported life is gone, the top soil and rock layer obliterated, and a significant portion of the planet simply no longer there. Rock matter from Poenari is spread across the entire star system, making FTL difficult and classifying the system as "Should Avoid".

## Common Use

Poenari has a **YES** Common Use policy, meaning you can do with it as you please in your roleplays.

CDS-40 Farsight Science Vessel

## Overview

The **CDS-40 Farsight Science Vessel**, more commonly known as the **4th Generation Farsight** or just the **Farsight**, is a science vessel manufactured by Caprica Dock Service in 7149. Designed on Exeter, the Farsight is sold to anyone with no restriction.

The Farsight is a jack-of-all-trades vessel intended to study, scan, and document the intricacies of unknown planets and star systems. Pioneering firms would use a Farsight vessel in order to determine the habitability of a potential colony.

The 4th generation model of this spacecraft line is equipped to collect and process all relevant planetary and stellar information before broadcasting to its destination. This has significantly cut down the data entry and analytics that would often need to be invested for every new planet that was scanned. The three crew members include a pilot and two technicians, with their focus often being on ensuring ship operations are running smoothly instead of concerning themselves with the actual scanning process.

Due to its strictly scientific use, the Farsight possesses no weaponry, is only lightly armoured, and is equipped with a low-yield shield net. Storage space is entirely dedicated to basic supplies for the crew members, emergency repair parts, and fuel for the on-board Yutani Drive.

The Farsight has several autonomous drones docked to its exterior, called **seekers**, that are exceptionally quick and intended for use in sub-orbital or atmospheric environments. They are equipped with high resolution imaging systems and can collect soil and rock samples from the planet's surface. In times of violent threat, the seekers can be commanded to collide with enemy targets to buy the Farsight enough time to escape to FTL.

Thesian Election Commission

## Overview

The **Thesian Election Commission** is responsible for maintaining and for the continuation of the Thesian Republic's democratic systems. Specifically, they are responsible for the following:

1. Individuals that choose not to elect a delegative to pass off their vote, or fail to vote for a policy decision will have their vote assigned to a delegate by Libertas, the artificial intelligence that is at the helm of the Election Commission.
2. Maintain the sanctuary of virtual voting stations to minimize fraud.
3. Persecute instances of fraud.
4. Maintain the network that allows individuals to connect to the Agora from wherever they may be in the Republic.

## Libertas

**Libertas** is the leader of Commission. More than just responsible for searching the web for information for people's preferences and matching that individual to a delegate, Libertas is considered to be motivated by facts and is biased only in its goal to maintaining the Thesian Republic's democratic systems. Whereas humans can be considered weak toward the temptation of corruption, Libertas cannot.

Beneath Libertas is a council of human members that act as engineers to the artificial intelligence, helping guard it from potential hacking.

People's Coalition of Saventia

## Overview

The **People's Coalition of Saventia**, or just **Saventia**, is a democratic state dedicated to the proliferation of humanity throughout the stars. They are officially designated by the Federation council as being the ideal state for those seeking a new beginning, be they from the Dominion, or Republic, or even another Federation world. Pioneers from across the Human Sphere congregate on the planets found within Saventia in order to be picked up by a pioneering firm on a new contract.

## Government

Saventia is represented through a direct democracy. The structure of government is similar to that of an ordinary democratic state. There are three layers of governance: the prime minister, the second level, and the third level. Third level representatives speak for municipal districts while the second level representatives speak for the third level reps. However, it is important to note that representatives only propose and format legislation. The actual voting is done by the citizenry directly. This forces citizens to be politically involved, with politicians being more of a support role than actual driving force behind politics.

## Common Use

The **People's Coalition of Saventia** has a **CONDITIONAL** Common Use Policy. You are free to create characters and organizations within this government. Any important changes or requests can be directed to its owner.

SS-80 Dunlop Bomber

The **SS-80 Dunlop Dunlop Bomber**, more commonly known as the **eighth Generation Dunlop** or just the **Dunlop**, is a bomber designed by Sol Shipyards in 6881.

Originally designed for planet-side operations, the Dunlop Bomber found itself re-purposed for space operations to target asteroid bases. Since then, the Dunlop has expanded to include the ability to target and deal serious damage to large capital-level ships.

Given the sensor restraints of the SS-60 Marshall Light Fighter, the Dunlop has developed a secondary purpose. That purpose is to provide more up-to-date and accurate information on enemy movements in the area.

## Limitations

###  Atmosphere Timid

Due to a recognized but non-visited flaw in the schematic, entering or leaving the atmosphere is not recommended. Attempt of entry or departure is playing a chance with chance of whether or not the vessel will survive. Those entering may burn up in the atmosphere, appearing to be a shooting star. Those attempting to exit may break apart and fall lazily back to the planet below. For more reliant transportation, bombers depend on SS-30 Garibaldi Transport to safely ferry them up and down from the planets.

### Limited Operation Time

Dunlop Bombers have a space operation time of ten hours until the bomber's energy reserves are drained and the vessel will be forced to land. Dunlop Bombers have between a twelve and fourteen hour operation time planet side until the fighter's energy reserves are drained and the vessel will be forced to land. Despite this limitation, the bombers are able to plug into a carrier or refueling ships and able to fully recharge within twenty minute's time.

## Common Use

Hesutu Ortiz

**Hesutu Ortiz** is a crime lord that operates throughout the Thesian Republic. His main trade are illegal argumentation and cybernetic implants. His clients range from the desolate of worlds devastated by the venkath, to the wealthy looking to differentiate themselves among their social circles.

Wanting access to other markets, Trident Energy through intermediaries brokered an agreement between Ortiz and Orda Sartuul. Ortiz is attempting to explore new markets in the Aurelian Dominion through the Pyrite Clan.

Torinder

A **torinder** is a four-dimensional shape produced by the product of a line segment and a solid torus; this means that it is a prism with a solid torus as the base. It is composed of two tori and a curved 3-D surface,

## Structure and Sections

The torinder, embedded in 4-D, has three types of sections. One is an unchanging torus, one looks like a cylinder splitting in two cylinders before merging, and one is a line expanding to cylinder, splitting in two concentric cylinders, and shrinking back.
Systems Council of Manufactured Planets

The **Systems Council of Manufactured Planets** are a network of planets that are considered the architectures of the Human Sphere. Renown for their grandiose engineering projects fueled by passion, ego and trying to garner as much attention as possible, planets under this administration had effectively captured the awe of the Terran Confederacy at large prior to the Venkath Onslaught.

After the war, the Systems Council was perhaps one of the hardest hits. Infrastructure that reached into the atmosphere was flattened. Projects were abandoned. Entire environments were destroyed, making survival on already ruined planets that much more difficult.

Falling into a deep depression, the Systems Council also fell to gang warfare as the husks of old projects.
SS-50 Dayan Gunboat

The **SS-50 Dayan Gunboat**, more commonly known as the **fifth Generation Dayan** or just the **Dayan**, is a gunboat designed by Sol Shipyards in 7079.

With the onset of the Terran Civil War beginning in 7071, Earth found itself hard pressed to redesign its gun boats, finding itself fighting factions that did not have significant abilities to produce large ships, thus depending on a large number of smaller ships. Earlier designs of the Terran Confederacy gunboats had too few weapons that had a reputation for slow turn rates and inaccurate firing.

Filling this void, the Dayan Gunboat proved to be a much clunkier, but much more firing-orientated ship. Cruisers were retired early in favor of transferring their crews to a large number of the Dayan Gunboats. Acting President of the Confederacy at the time, Dean Tarver stated that it was the Dayan Gunboat that won the war.

SS-20 Haus Carrier

The **SS-20 Haus Carrier**, more commonly known as the **second Generation Haus Carrier,** or just the **Haus**, is a lighter fighter designed by Sol Shipyards in 7105.

With the declaration that the civil war had ended in the Terran Confederacy, military strategists began to apply pressure to have the carriers redesigned and have the carriers stationed in new military outposts that would allow them to quickly respond to insurrections in a timely manner for a prolonged period of time without resupply, and with enough flexibility and force to hopefully quell the problem on their own.

The Haus Carrier met that challenge. Whereas much of the Terran Confederacy's military assets have been ridiculed by more modern powers, the SS-20 Haus Carrier still commands respect. With the Terran Confederacy failing to make the transition into heavier ship types like dreadnoughts, it found itself relying on its carriers to make up the slack. Defined by its dense armor, hangar capacity and abundant weaponry, the Haus found itself the flagship of multiple fleets.

Population Class

## Overview

Do you hate trying to make up believable, large numbers?

If you do, have we got just the thing for you! If you've been poking at the infobox for planets, you'll notice that the population field is titled as Population Class. What does that mean?

**Population Class** is the middle-ground between being exacting in census data and simply being laissez-faire. Instead of telling us that your planet has exactly 14,348,391 people on it, you'd simply classify it under a certain population range. This will remove the need to edit your Wiki documents every time the year progresses in the roleplay; instead of painstakingly calculating population growth/loss, you'd only edit your document when it enters a new class. The likelihood of this happening regularly is slim (barring catastrophic war).

Take into consideration that population class is dependent solely on the number of people living on the planet. This does **not** take into account the surface area of the world itself. Ignore this and classify your planet using only population figures.

## Medium Class I

Population between 3,000,000,001 and 7,000,000,000.

## Medium Class II

Population between 7,000,000,001 and 11,000,000,000.

## Dense

Population between 11,000,000,001 and 20,000,000,000.

## Ultra Dense

Population above 20,000,000,000.

**NOTE:** It's unlikely your planet will be in the Ultra Dense population class unless it's a planet-wide metropolis (such as Taris and Coruscant in Star Wars). Even then, twenty billion people is *a lot* of people. Consider this class carefully.
Myrcella Pine

## Overview

**Myrcella Pine** is a CoDA member living within the Thesian Republic. She is known for her eccentric personality, often making absurd recommendations during talks of how to resist Dominion expansionism and aggression. Some claim she's a plant by the Dominion as a result of her ideas; appeasement tends to be a running theme in her recommendations.

She makes her home on Amun although Myrcella spends the majority of her time travelling. Self-described as "free-spirited", Myrcella is a strong advocate for voluntarism.

## Common Use

Myrcella Pine has **NO** Common Use policy, meaning that use of this character is restricted to its owner.

Hades

The **Hades** system was never chartered by the Thesian Republic or prior political entities. Rather, the Hades system was utilized by the Creighton Extraction Corporation for large scale gas extraction operations. Home to three gas giants and nearly a hundred moons, the system proved to be a gold mine. This system is home to Franc, Joseph and Nicholas.

Since exhausted by the company and abandoned, the Committee on Dominion Aggression  has moved in, utilizing the system to manage its own affairs and its own military. The three gas giants are named to respect the League of the Three Emperors that attempted to isolate France.

Rus

**Rus** is the capital of the Realm of Hyperborea. Rus is one of the few worlds absolutely untouched from venkath war fleets which has given the planet a clear advantage over less fortunate worlds. The world is quartered off into different districts, with each district being managed by a Noble House Family. Live fire drills are conducted in the jungles of Rus where noblemen fight among each other for sport and to secure social status. The clear violations of human rights are tolerated due to the the realm's contribution of veteran troops to the Thesian Republic.

Serenity has been referenced as the second Monolith for reason of its militarism, nationalism and an almost religious fevere of the support of the Romanov Dynasty that is seated here.

## Politics

### Family First

Placement into public positions, into state ran companies and hierarchy on the military is largely dependent on blood purity to the Romanovs. Those who can prove the purity of their blood of the family makes the individual more attractive to fill a position, regardless of actual experience or competence for the position.

## Places of Interest

### Ross Weapons Facility

Built to directly compete with the Terran Advanced Weapons Department, the *Ross Weapons Facility* is no secret to the Human Sphere. Perhaps a sensible strategist would have hidden away such an asset, but to the Romanov Dynasty, the existence of this project was a badge of legitimacy and nationalism. The facility is located underground and accessible primarily through a submarine pen.

### The Deep Veins

Yearning its own identity but afraid of the consequences, *The Deep Veins* was built to survive the aftermath of a failed rebellion against the Terran Confederacy. Built to sustain a population of millions, The Deep Veins was an ambitious project to connect major cities and to sport enough supporting infrastructure to allow for the continued survival of a contingency of survivors for any number of years, supported by oxygen replinishment systems, geothermal generators and housing. Today The Deep Veins have been sealed by order of the Dynasty.

Najjar Dynasty

## Overview

The **Najjar Dynasty** is the ruling family over Denovus and has been in control of the planet since its original colonization in 6455. The dynasty is known for its reformation of Islam into Wirhadi, the planet's growth into a pro-alien human world, and maintaining Denovus' independence while borders were being drawn up by the galactic superpowers.

Its current ruling member is Asouf Najjar, although several members of the dynasty are alive and the eventual heir is being groomed.

Anthemius

**Anthemius** (pronounced: anth-em-is) is a gas giant that had became the Terran Confederacy's largest gas extraction planet. Automated drones and manual labor would collect the gas, store it, process it and sell it in the market to be used as civilian and military manufacturing. A moderate amount of Selerium has been discovered. Most stations were destroyed in the Venkath Onslaught. Today the production capacity is only a fraction of what it once was.

## Places of Interest

### New Port Station

Rebuilt shortly after the conflict, *New Port Station* serves a number of functions to include: housing, hydroponics, entertainment, manufcaturing, storage and shipping. Home to the colonial governor, New Port Station is directly owned by the Terran Confederacy.

### Galvestone Station

A surviving station during the war, *Galvestone Station* had narrowly escaped discovery in the first rounds of engagement in the Petronas Sophia system. Ordered to go dark, the system continued to avoid discovery for a few months still, likely thankful to the ongoing battles in the system. Believing the system lost, the station would be fitted with a delivery method for the Markus-Lindholm Entropy Detonation Device. Unfortunately the device was never armed, missing a critical firing piece that could not be procured at the time due to poor oversight, sloppy logistics and other missions taking priority.

Today, the weapons systems has not been disarmed, nor has its single payload of the device. While the weapon still continues to lack important parts to allow the weapon to fire, the potential remains. Guarded by residual guardsmen, today no one really knows the purpose of Galvestone Station, the minds behind the project since deceased and the intentions of the project lost under electronic paperwork. Its delivery system is locked away behind a bulkhead door that has not been opened since the conclusion of the war.

Monolith

Serving as the capital planet of the Aurelian Dominion, **Monolith** and its great cog-cities are the crown jewel of the Imperator's household, Garudanism, and the Golden Dawn. Monolith itself was largely untouched during the Venkath Onslaught as Isaac Wolfe and his allies went at great lengths to keep the location of their homeworld secret, often at the cost of sacrificing other worlds. Containing nearly a fourth of the total population of the Dominion, Monolith is effectively a fortress that was built to withstand the most punishing tactics and strategies of traditional human warfare. Battlements, surface-to-space cannons, water filtration plants and armored food banks are all built within the urban facade and are no less apart of daily life as a food truck or a street performer might be.

## Places of Interest

### Faustulan Pyramid

   The Faustulan Pyramid, named after the shepherd Faustulus who found the twins Romulus and Remus, is the personal residence and central government hub of the Imperator. Thousands of bureaucrats traverse the hallways and corridors of the palace everyday to ensure the continued governance of the Dominion. The Pyramid itself was embedded with a rock native to Monolith called *Sunstone*, which catches the sunlight and seemingly bathes the building in beautiful light at all times of the day. The superstructure of the Pyramid is highly reinforced with high tensile materials, ladden with gun batteries, and has it's own personal shield. It also has the tighest security of any Dominion facility due to the nature of the people who live within it. Beneath the Pyramid and deep into Monolith's planetary crust lies the *Lupercal*, which is the Imperator's personal bunker. Should Monolith come under siege, the Imperator and his government would be evacuated to the Lupercal to wait until relief arrived. The bunker itself runs on a 100% efficency rate as it produces it's own food, water and electricity in a closed system.

Earth Exodus of 6412

## Overview

The **Earth Exodus of 6412** signals the beginning of humanity's existence amongst the stars. Although the exodus was a result of damage to the Earth's ecosystem and climate caused by the Earth Resource Wars, it began an era of rapid colonization using humanity's newly developed FTL engine. Citizens from around the world signed on in droves to become pioneers in distant star systems, all in an attempt to escape the climate's eventual collapse on Earth.

Planets initially chosen for the exodus were mostly if not entirely inhabitable by human life already, the focus being on the eternal survival of the human race. However, several colonies failed to gain traction, dying out due to unexpected elements or poor analysis of survivability conditions on the planet's surface. Other colonies survived in squalor, desperate for assistance from other colonies.

A total of nearly 14 billion humans emigrated from Earth to over three dozen planets across the galaxy over 18 years, the exodus officially ending once conditions on Earth were deemed acceptable for continued human survival. Those who remained behind were often rich or those who won "self-sustainability lotteries", tickets that allowed entry into large residential complexes that were communities unto themselves, neatly contained in a singular behemoth structure. These were located in the most mild parts of the planet, areas that were estimated to be least impacted by the atmosphere's continued degeneration.

The following 200 years for humanity would be spent with those on Earth seeking a solution for its environmental crisis and those on other worlds trying desperately to survive and begin flourishing. It was both an exciting and difficult time for humans across the Human Sphere.
Mark Krakowski

**Mark Krakowski** is the acting Chief Executive Officer of Trident Energy who operates from the comfort of his private liner or while far away on vacation, Mark Krakowski is both everywhere but nowhere. Leaving mundane affairs to the board of directors to handle every day business, Krakowski inserts himself into more delicate situations, taking amusement in situations out of the ordinary. Krakowski has a relaxed personality and has developed an ego of both himself and Trident Energy, believing both to be above any challenges the galaxy at large could offer them.

More unconventionally, Mark has accumulate a considerable amount of real estate in the Legacy Federation for future expansion. Mark also maintains a network of smugglers into and out of the Aurelian Dominion that acts as another source of revenue.

Terran Civil War

## Overview

The **Terran Civil War** took place between the years 7071 and 7103. After celebrating the success of the Human Unification War, the Terran Confederacy quickly ran into problems. A government that once only had official jurisdiction over 20 billion people now held authority over nearly 300 billion. Over-extension, distant relations, poor governing, and an inability to properly allocate resources brought the Confederacy to its knees through a string of rebellions across the Human Sphere.

This time, the Confederacy was fighting people who could communicate with one another and even man flyable spacecraft. The Unification War was mostly made up of boring orbital sieges with very little actual military engagement as a direct result of hoarding the Yutani Drive technology and preventing the human colonies from acquiring artificial selerium. This was different, with the Confederacy now dealing with colonies that it granted these two luxuries to in exchange for their allegiance to the cause. Rebels could coordinate with other rebel cells across the Human Sphere and they could even raid Confederacy convoys and patrol fleets.

The Confederacy responded to this threat by censoring the GalactiNet and intercepting all outbound messages from each planet. Military intelligence suggested that the efficacy of the rebellion would be drastically reduced if each cell was incapable of actually communicating with one another in an effective manner. While sometimes theft of a P2P-IC-G terminal was possible, the Confederacy made it illegal for civilian ownership of such a device and hoarded these terminals in secure military facilities.

Rebel cells were stamped out across the Human Sphere as the years went by but more kept on forming. In order to not be torn apart by strife, the Confederacy began appeasing local planetary governors and attempting to integrate cultures into their own. People would be less likely to rise up against a government they felt understood them and shared their identity. Rebels were branded as terrorists. The Confederacy began waging a war of propaganda, one that the rebels couldn't resist as a result of being barred from getting their message out. By 7103, resistance against the Confederacy dwindled to isolated yearly incidents with most civilians being okay with their new overlords.

The following 23 years would be spent with continued integration efforts, federal grants for building up the less fortunate worlds, and a general enjoyment of newfound peace. By the beginning of the Venkath Onslaught in 7126, human population was estimated to be over 340 billion people across the Human Sphere.
Zerzura

In writings dating back to the 13th Century (using the Gregorian calender) on Earth, Arabs spoke of an oasis in the Sahara desert west of the Nile and deep into Libya that was filed with plenty and was luscious. Many expeditions were launched, many failed, but a few claimed to find what they were looking for. When humans started to traverse the stars, they found what they were looking for at last. **Zerzura** is a harsh, windswept desert world with fertile river valleys that almost match the description of the myth. The rough climate of the planet, coupled with the uncomfortably longer day/night cycle, made for an excellent location to train soldiers bound for the Dominion Legions. The fertile river valleys have made an excellent location, in turn, for the mass production of agricultural products. Large shipments of grain, cereals, and other crops are regularly shipped to Monolith from Zerzura in order to help sustain the large population there with high quality foodstuffs. The regular population live in hives designed as pyramids, as the weather conditions are too dangerous to have free standing dwellings. This has caused Zerzura's society to be heavily insular, requiring a heavy-handed military prescence to keep the populace in line.

Joseph

**Joseph** was considered the breath of life to the Creighton Extraction Corporation that prior to the station established here, had suffered its sixth year of continued losses. Slated for liquidation, Hades was discovered and a major facility was set into the orbit of the planet. Hades had saved the company, and in a number of years the system was exhausted and the company moved to greener ventures.

More recently though, The Committee on Dominion Aggression has headquartered itself in the husks of facilities here, re purposing them to meet their own objectives. Ports were resigned to allow ships to dock, halls widened to allow the movement of heavy vehicles and the area beautified to remind members of the Committee of the importance of their mission: meeting any challenge of the Aurelian Dominion.

## Politics

###  Lacks Representation

Joseph is officially an abandoned world. Maintaining a military garrison and supported by maintenance, the planet does not have representation in the Agora.

## Locations of Interest

### Erebus Exterior

Constructed out of several layers of overlapping Durasteel (Human), the *Erebus Exterior* is designed to protect the station from not only the immense storm winds of the gas giant, but against attack. In case of the outer layer being breached, buildings themselves are made of reinforced materials and Durasteel as well.

### Cerberus Anti Orbital Gun

Designed as the sole weapon able to bring down heavy ships, the Cerberus Anti Orbital Gun is a rail gun able to fire at enough speed to punch through the armor of larger ships.

### Docking Ports

Opening its maw to mid-sized ships that are able to enter and leave the atmosphere of the gas giant, the docking ports of Tartarus are able to lock around a ship to secure it, and are designed with wide halls to allow a great number of large vehicles to freely pass.
