Kugelblitz

A **kugelblitz** in Coalition jargon refers to (often microscopic) black holes created using enormous amounts of energy. They are unanimously employed in technology relating to space travel, whether fueling it in barodrives via supplying gravitons for access to barospace, or by interdiction fields through a similar employment of gravitons.

Kugelblitzes are most often created in barodrive components known as **kugelblitz generation chambers**.
Ecco ArtCollectiv

The Ecco ArtCollectiv sought to bring about a digital art movement centered around eclectic visuals invocative of InfoScape's virtual surrealism and of 'retro' visuals from the digital past.

Cybergaia Movement

* Cybergaia Project

Cyberia

### Related movements

Neo-2K

The **Ecco ArtCollectiv** is an art movement with its origins in the eponymous circle of digital artists headed by artist and programmer ecco\_1999. Ecco ArtCollectiv is known for its eclectic collages and mixtures of visuals, use of uncanny 'retro 3D' and incorporation of nature into its visuals. Evocative of a more 'free' past in digital culture, ecco\_1999 viewed her art as an extension of her utopian ideas. Old, surreal 'edutainment' visuals would be incorporated in many of these pieces, evocative of innocence and childhood, while visuals of exotic animals served as a subtle extension of her environmentalist views.

Originating in the *art.digital* board of GoopBoard, the distinctive artstyle of ecco\_1999 and her contemporaries quickly earned popularity, imitation and philosophical debate regarding its values.

Following GoopBoard's shutdown in 2579, ecco\_1999 and many other digital artists of this movement would join the new *art.digital* board of the burgeoning SlimeBBS, with site creator gox offering ecco\_1999 the honor of redesigning the site and creating its mascot, Yuyuko. With the updated design of SlimeBBS coming out in 2581, the striking visual style of the Ecco ArtCollectiv became ubiquitous with the site's aesthetic and culture.

Ecco\_1999 would join with VISIO0N in 2582, founding the Cybergaia Movement and beginning her work on Project Cybergaia, a virtual world that reflected her desire to create a digital utopia where man coexisted wtih nature. Though not all would follow in ecco\_1999's footsteps, her work on Project Cybergaia remained influential to the broader art movement well past her death in 2631. The Ecco ArtCollectiv, and, to an extent, Project Cybergaia, are believed to have had an influence on the aesthetics and philosophy of the virtual world Cyberia.

Today, the visuals of Ecco ArtCollectiv have become synonymous with 'free' digital culture, remaining incredibly common on SlimeBBS. Though faced with a decline between the 2630s and 2680s, there has been a recent resurgence of Ecco ArtCollectiv among younger generations in the Coalition, with the movement's visual language becoming viewed as a 'nostalgic' time capsule of an optimistic period that has since become influential in modern InfoScape cyberculture.

Dendera

**Dendera**, also known as **Hathor IV**, is a cold subterran world and the fourth planet from the star of Hathor. Administered by the Planetary Authority of Dendera, the planet is a member of the Stellar Republic of Hathor. With a permanent population of 25 million people, Dendera serves as a interplanetary node between Hyperion and the rest of the outer Hathor star system alongside being an important mining world for natural ores and materials such as zirconium.
Stratoscraper

A **stratoscraper** is an extremely tall and continuously inhabited building that enters the boundaries of the stratosphere (as on Earth), with the classification often starting at six kilometers in height. The tallest free-standing stratoscraper is the Empyrean, located in the West American Megasprawl well within what was once the city of Sacramento, California, at a height of twelve kilometers; the tallest stratoscraper of all time is the multitension-supported Hyperion MesoSpire located in Port Bremerton, Hyperion, standing at a height of 22 kilometers and piercing through the stratopause into Hyperion's mesosphere. The term arose in synchrony with the urbanization of worlds such as Hyperion and Tellus, which unlocked new construction materials and methodologies that allowed for structures giant in both height and width.

Earth tops the charts within Human space for the most amount of stratoscrapers (in the hundreds of thousands), followed by Hyperion with only a few hundred less.
Highway

The term **highway**, in modern times, refers to any air or land based route that facilitates transportation of suitable vehicles — most notably cars, trucks, buses, and other passenger or cargo-carrying transports and their aerial counterparts.

Due to the size and scope of population and infrastructure on some worlds, several tiers of highways (and freeways and expressways, as a result) exist. They are commonly identified by prefixes such as super- or mega-.

It is important to note that, for land-based highways, embedded railways and other train networks are not counted in contributing to its size.

## Superhighways

Superhighways are one of the largest transport networks, only surpassed by *megahighways*. In the vernacular used by civil engineers across the Coalition of Congressional Republics, the term "superhighway" refers to an aerial or land-based network that has upwards of 25 lanes and more than 10 lanes.

## Megahighways

Megahighways are extremely rare within the Coalition, and are only seen on Earth and Hyperion. They have no defined upper limit, and exceed 25 lanes in size.

1975 (Hysfell-Cymbeline Group)

The **Hysfell-Cymbeline Group** is a financial megaconglomerate primarily involved in asset and wealth management, consumer and community banking, commercial banking, and corporate and investment banking in the Coalition of Congressional Republics' Core Sytems. It is considered to be one of the oldest guild-corporate institutions in the Coalition, with a history that could be traced way back to the late 16th century in the British Empire.

While the corporation was heavily involved with the finances of early colonial expansions, bad investments during the Corporate Wars of the 2200s provided a major setback for the Corporation in expanding its financial scope towards the entirety of the Coalition. However, at over 25 million employees mostly at the extent of the Coalition's Core Systems, the corporation is still a major financial player within its respective area.
Amun

**Amun**, officially designated **Hathor V**, is the first of the gas giants in the Hathor star system. One of the last "inner worlds" of the system, it falls under the control of the Planetary Authority of Amun, a territory of the Stellar Republic of Hathor. With a permanent population of fifteen million inhabiting various orbital stations and atmospheric cloud cities, it is the primary source of easy-access hydrogen fuel for nuclear fusion reactors for both civilian infrastructure and spacecraft within Hathor.

Other population centers near to Amun include two of its major moons Lancaster and Carpenter, adding another twelve million in population to the overall Planetary Authority.
Commando Tank

## Overview

Commando Tanks are the last of the Enemy Tanks introduced in the Classic Campaign. They call in other tanks to support it, and can boost. The Commando Tank can be considered an upgrade to the Teal Tank.

## Strategy

* Treat this Tank like an armoured Teal Tank/Black Tank hybrid.
* It's possible to tell what colour the Tank inside the crate will be before it hits the ground. Use the parachute to gain knowledge of what you'll be up against. (E.g. Brown/White = Brown Tank, Blue/White = Electro Tank, Green/White = Green Tank, Solely White = White Tank, Dark Red/Black = Rocket Defender.)
* The Commando Tank can spawn any type of Enemy Tank except for bosses and other commandos.
* This Tank can boost, so try spamming bullets to trap it so that it can't evade your shots.
* If a crate falls beside you, shoot it right as it lands to instantly kill the tank inside, unless it's armored, in which you need to shoot it multiple times in quick succession.
* Due to Commandos having 100% accuracy it is a viable strategy to rush down a lone commando as because it has perfect accuracy it's bullets will be easy to deflect, however, be sure to watch out for commando tanks at mid range, their high accuracy will kill you fast.

## Trivia

* Commando Tanks used to be the colour cruise, and would've been a better version of Purple Tanks.
* Commando Tanks used to be introduced on Mission 90.
* Commando Tank as of 8.0+ Now have 100% accuracy (not accounting for velocity).
* Similarly to the peach tanks, commandos were heavily nerfed with large spawn delays due to them dropping very large amounts of tanks.
* The Commando Tank has the least amount of appearances in the classic campaign than any other non-boss tank, appearing just four times.

## Theme

Snare + piccolo + timpani (teal)+ Cymbals + Snare Drum

## Missions

### Classic Campaign

* Mission 85
* Mission 88
* Mission 95
* Mission 99

## History

**0.7.9** Commando tanks were added.

**0.7.10** Commando tanks were given a longer delay between plane call-ins. In order to fix a bug, dropped tanks by commandos do not count towards the tank count and therefore will be destroyed when all original tanks are destroyed.

**0.7.10** A bug where commando tanks couldn't be unlocked on mission 85 was fixed.

**0.7.11** Commando tanks' system of airdropping tanks was reworked, making it more efficient in making planes actually drop tanks instead of just flying over. Therefore, tanks are dropped more often.

**0.8.0** Commando tanks have 100% accuracy and now have a cosmetic laser sight.

* Lina Misurova
* Rinji Kawano
* Seung Geun-hye

**Job I: Goldberg's Demise** is the first entry into the legacy of the **Scarlet Suns**, and serves as the starting point of the group's Formation Arc. It follows the gang of four lead by Lina Misurova and their acquired allies as they pursue a job posted on the SlimeBBS forums posted by a member of the Yella Rebels gang for a hit on the meth kingpin of the planet of Hyperion by the name of Goldberg. However, as the group arrives at the Domed District of the Atlantis Underwater Undersprawl, the tentacles of the Goldberg Syndicate are able to manipulate the novices into a brutal standoff between themselves and the eponymous Hyperian king of methamphetamine. Destroying much of the meth kitchen beneath the Windows Under the Sea restaurant prior, the Scarlet Suns are spared by a stroke of sympathy from Goldberg, who sees them as a tool to use against a greater threat.
Silver River Galaxy

The **Silver River Galaxy**, also simply known as the **Silver River**, is the home galaxy of the human race and alien races such as the Forefather Civilization. Named after the coloration of the galaxy's coreward systems across the night sky of Earth, the Silver River is a barred spiral galaxy that has been calculated to contain around 400 billion individual star systems and a larger amount of planets.
Gris Island Air Force Base

Gris Island, Albion on Hyperion, Hathor system

**Gris Island Air Force Base** (or simply **Gris Island AFB**) is a major Hyperian Guard and Coalition Forces Authority air force base located on Gris Island, the largest of the Daxing Islands in the Gulf of Batou. It routinely hosts sea-oriented air combat and close air support exercises for air elements of both the Hyperian Guard and the Interstellar Coalition Terrestrial Army, and also contains a major radar station providing overwatch of southern Albion.
Defense Priority Region

The **Defense Priority Region** is a portion of space well within the confines of the Astral Federation on its southwestern border, next to the disputed territories that it has with the Coalition of Congressional Republics. The DPR serves as the first line of defense against a hypothetical invasion by the Coalition Forces Authority. Several naval bases, anchorages, and defense installations exist within the DPR, and it also holds the heavily fortified world of Barnhoorn.

The region is formally governed and administered by the Armed Services of the Astral Federation, similar to how the CFA administers certain Coalition authorities.
Human space

**Human space** is a term that refers to all known space settled by the human race, thus constituting an interstellar civilization. Chiefly as a result of the colonial expansions of the Coalition of Congressional Republics from humanity's home system of Sol, human space has come to encompass over one thousand settled worlds and a combined population in the trillions. The extent of human space is approximately 1 kilo-lightyear in size in all directions from the Solar System, with the bulk being occupied by the CCR. However, fringe human states such as the Astral Federation and Allavire Commonality exist beyond the Coalition's borders, extending known human space farther.

Human space is subdivided in practically equal notions to that of the Coalition: the Core, holding Earth and the multitude of highly-populated service and manufacturing worlds; the Periphery, holding well-established colonies oriented towards supplying both the Core's high population or the Frontier's needed logistics; and the Frontier, holding backwater worlds or recent colonies mainly focused on resource extraction.
Cruise Tank

Unlocked in True Run

## Overview

The Cruise Tank is a tank that only appears in True Run. It can be unlocked in the custom campaign map editor if you beat the True Run. Cruise Tank specializes in ending you in tight spaces due to its high speed and fire rate, and the ability to boost. The cruise tank will shield itself when no enemies are in its line of sight, meaning that it can't be killed by rebounds.

## Strategy

* Be weary of cruise tanks in tight spaces, they can empty out all their bullets quickly trapping you.
* Wait until they fire all 3 of their bullets, then move in to attack.

## Trivia

* The Cruise Tank use Bongos and a Piano as a part of their theme.
* Cruise is the first tank that can only be unlocked from a challenge.
* On initial release, the cruise did not have its shield.
Propast'

The city of **Propast'** (Russian: Пропасть), translated as **Abyss**, is both the capital and largest domed city of the frozen world of Tishina. With a population of three million people, it contains approximately 43% of the world's population, with the rest scattered in small satellite domed cities or within subterranean complexes. It hosts the Tishina Planetary Authority, a subsidiary government of the Dal'niye Rubezhi Colonial Administration. Practically all of the population of Propast' are either first or second generation immigrants, hailing mainly from the Soviet Union or related worlds; most of the city's services are oriented towards supporting the planet's small mining economy.
Tishina

**Tishina** (Russian: Тишина) is a far-off colonial world of the Coalition of Congressional Republics. Settled primarily by Russian immigrants and colonists from the Soviet Union in the early 2600s due to advertised mining opportunities in the wider Dal'niye Rubezhi Colonial Administration, Tishina is comparatively one of the youngest settled worlds in the Coalition.

Orbiting the blue main sequence star Pribezhishche Boga, Tishina is a cold wasteland of a world, with its natural environment and atmosphere intolerable to human life. Due to these reasons, the bulk of human colonists on the world live in massive domed cities located near to ore extraction sites.
Brane state

The **brane state** of an object refers to what current physical properties the object is reflecting, respective to what dimension of reality it is trying to mimic, transition into, or directly inhabits.

By definition, a *brane* is a topological space with the potentiality to have any and all subsequent dimensions that exist in reality. All known objects in the universe exhibit a 3-brane state, which means that they possess all the qualities of the third dimension. Even so, they still possess the capability to temporarily transition to a higher dimension by the means of inducing the phenomenon of barospace, where excited gravitons that cause the object to transition into a *mimic* or *transitionary* state. This "mimic state" is defined as a *3+n-brane*, where *n* is the number of dimensions the object is attempting to reflect beyond its natural form.

Ships that travel in faster-than-light speeds transform the brane state of everything that exists within a warp bubble, which is projected by its onboard barodrive. The drive uses modulated and excited gravitons in order to induce such a transitionary brane state.
Tigris-Euphrates Megasprawl

The **Tigris-Euphrates Megasprawl** is one of the largest megasprawls within the Earth's Middle East region. Also known as the **Fertile Crescent Megasprawl**, it serves as the main urban area of the Republic of Mesopotamia. Originally an agglomeration of Syrian, Iraqi, and Turkish urban areas, the fall of these nations' governments during the rise of the Coalition of Congressional Republics during the 2090 Middle East Crisis led to the unification of the region under a new, Coalition-sponsored nation-state.

It was the one of the first areas on Earth to be affected by the Machine War due to its concentration of robotics manufacturing and control centers, with the megasprawl serving as an opening battleground between the first artificial intelligences and droids infected by the METASTASIS superturing intelligence.
The Testament of Tomorrow

***The Testament of Tomorrow*** is a publication issued by the Pantheon of the Anthropocene across the Coalition of Congressional Republics. Following the doctrine of Anthropocenism, it espouses a mixture of atheist, legacist, and humanocentric ideology, constantly criticizing religion and advocating for human social and technological progress for the benefit of all mankind.

### 2698 holds nothing back.

The 27th Century of mankind turns to a close. Numerous insurrectionist movements and pirate fleets chip away at the periphery of the all-encompassing Coalition of Congressional Republics that has bounded all of humanity into one monolithic polity. The recent pyrrhic victory of the Belial War has left the military-industrial complex turning inwards unto the Coalition's citizenry with the continuation of the War on Terror through the militarization of police and the garrisoning of Coalition Forces Authority troops across the core and colonies rolling out in an attempt to squash the rampant crime and corruption.

Hyperion, the third planet from the star of Hathor within the core of the Coalition, is one such example of the rampant presence of basal human vices. Originally a labor-oriented world with focus on the production or breakdown of starships, it has metamorphosed into a world of over a hundred billion souls that clash with one another. Money, power, pleasure - all reasons for the never-ending crime and pain. Such a world has spawned generations of criminals, gangsters, and neer-do-wells that clash constantly with one another and with the law enforcement that struggle to keep the peace. The amount of blood spilled and drugs produced means that money is to be made.

This is the story of one such group of profiteers, seeking to make their own money and leave their own mark on Hyperion and humanity at large. Riches and victory or failure and agony await those who play this game of destiny; and it is yours to behold. If they live or if they die, the cycle will still chug on unto infinity.

Army for the Independence of the Belial People

The **Army for the Independence of the Belial People** (Arabic: *جيش من أجل استقلال أهل بيليال*) ( **Abbr.**  ***AIBP***) is a nationalist terrorist organization primarily located within the Belial star system that seeks to restore the Free Stellar Republic of Belial that fell during the Belial War. It considers itself a successor to the political party known as Union for the Freedom and Autonomy of Belial and a direct successor to the Belial Free Republican Army. It currently maintains a loose alliance with the Belial Free Fleet.
Carmine Hideout

The **Carmine Hideout** is an isolated structure in the vicinity of Homestead Carmine that serves as a hideout for the Scarlet Suns. Previously occupied by methamphetamine addicts, it was cleared out by the local militia and given to the Suns for their help in defending the town during the Battle of Homestead Carmine after their temporary exodus from Jade City.

## History

The building was constructed sometime in the 2600s with the rise of Homestead Carmine; however, the building's location on its outskirts lent it significant isolation from the rest of the community. Its original owners, a family of water collectors, were rooted out from their home following a dispute with a local loan shark; it fell into disrepair as its new "owners" left the building to rot.

By 2698, the building had fallen into the hands of drifting drug addicts ousted from the local community. However, following the Battle of Homestead Carmine, the building was given to the Scarlet Suns as payment for their help, with the addicts being evicted in the process. The Suns would stay in the hideout for two more weeks following their exit from the Eastern Albion Megasprawl as a result of the Harborne Civil War before eventually returning to Jade City.

Even so, the building is still Suns property, and sees usage by members travelling across the Great Sand Bowl or evading pursuit by those within Hyperion's megasprawls.

## Overview

The Carmine Hideout is an irregular, four-story concrete story structure, with makeshift patios and walkways composed of metal and wood. It overlooks the wide Great Sand Bowl due to its position on top of a small cliff, and is only accessible either by the roof (through hovercraft) or a shoddy walkway that scales up the cliff face. Located half a kilometer from the rest of Homestead Carmine, it is quite isolated.

During the Scarlet Suns' stay in the structure, most of its rooms were divided as bedrooms for individual members - however, certain members shared rooms, such as Mohe and Octavia or friends Rinji and Lamarcus. After the eviction of the junkies that inhabited it, most of the interior had been left relatively barren. It eventually had InfoScape access installed, in addition to a makeshift outdoor garage for Rinji's hoverbike. Furniture was slowly acquired over their stay until they were given the green light to return to Jade City by Edward. After this, the hideout was sparingly used, but eventually saw permanent habitation by the revenant James Christovam who saw its remoteness as useful. The hideout is also home to one of the gang's shared pets, an attack dog by the name Cade.

## Trivia

* Mahendra Adhya, an unorthodox friend of Renée, briefly called the building home after his escape from Tellus. However, he later moved to Province City in Chasten, seeing life in the hideout as difficult.
Cryoprison

A **cryoprison** is a special type of penitentiary where prisoners serve their sentences through cryogenic hibernation, often undergoing non-invasive neurosuggestion therapy in the process. Originally created in the years following the Corporate Wars to intern criminals during the Coalition Reconstruction, cryoprisons have shifted to placing those deemed to be of "special value", or those deemed to be extreme risks to even other prisons, under cryosleep. Many prisoner rights activists call this a harsh form of internment, as those frozen for decades may emerge to unfamiliar worlds where friends and family may be deceased or otherwise significantly changed.

Parole hearings are often offered to prisoners that undergo cryosleep, however, as a means to gauge the efficacy of their neurosuggestions.
Coalition Interstellar Starway System

The **Coalition Interstellar Starway System**, or **CISS** (also called the **Star Highways** and **Coalition Starways**) is an integrated network of transportation lanes and routes that connect the various member star systems of the Coalition of Congressional Republics together into a singular system. Although these transportation lanes can run through multiple different member republics and administrative zones of the Coalition, they are all considered to be *de jure* Coalition government territory due to the placed importance on maintaining safe, secure trade and transport networks that connect the Frontier and the Periphery to the Core star systems.

Member republics are charged with maintaining the safety of these lanes within the confines of their respective star systems (such as their individual interplanetary transport networks) and within a few light years of the lanes' termini, in addition to maintaining terminus infrastructure such as directly owned orbital space stations, harbors, anchorages, and colonies. However, the Coalition government (or corporate contractors) handle the bulk of security and surveillance of routes under the CISS system, with a majority of the space forces of the Coalition Forces Authority often being used in patrol of these routes and their termini.

## History

The CISS was founded during the boom of Coalition colonial expansion due to the *Tomorrow Initiative* and the subsequent phenomenon known as the Planet Rush, which lasted from the 2080s to the 2200s. Placed under the control of the Department of Transportation, the CISS was constructed through the employment of astrography that allowed the charting of routes that balanced short travel times and fuel cost with that of strategic route prioritization between systems that were major trade, production, manufacturing, or service nodes.

As of the modern era, the CISS is still considered to be an evolving network; the opening of the Grand Port of Polaris in 2650 under the control of the Astoria Mercantile Group has created a massive congregative trade node in the northern areas of the Periphery, with several routes opening or being expanded and tweaked to meet its novel commercial value.
Olympus Mons Blackout

### Cause

Unknown; presumed overloading of the Stapleford Group's "V-System" supercomputers

## Casualties

### Inquiries

Coalition Infrastructural Investigation, Hera 9926

### Charges

Stapleford Group charged with infrastructural negligence; payout of approx. 20 billion in property damage and recompense

### Litigation

Planetary Republic of Hera v. Stapleford Group

The **Olympus Mons Blackout**, also known as the **Stapleford Blackout Incident**, was a total blackout that occurred within the Atlas Mons metrozone of the planet of Mars in the Solar System. Affecting over a million people near the Stapleford Corporate Headquarters Complex of the Stapleford Group, the blackout lasted approximately thirty six hours from the evening of the 19th of August, 2692, to the 22nd of August. Subsequent loss of function for various automated infrastructure lead to mild or severe non-fatal injuries of around one thousand people and the deaths of one hundred and thirty six. Two Stapleford Group employees, under the direct payroll of the Group itself, were publicly detailed as missing following the incident — Dr. Jörn Wittich and Dr. Gabrijel Antolić.

In the days following the blackout, the Planetary Republic of Hera appealed to the Coalition of Congressional Republics to launch an inquiry as to the cause of the incident, detailed in government archives as *Coalition Infrastructural Investigation, Hera 9926*. In a settlement between Hera and the Stapleford Group, a payout of 20 billion Coalition Congressional Notes was accomplished to cover both property damages and the subsequent medical bills of affected citizens, in addition to legal recompenses.

Many conspiracy theorists hearken to a leaked three-paged document online that purportedly originates from internal Stapleford memos known as the *Blackout Files*. This memo, attributed to a "G. Pauler", details the incident as a result of "gross transfer of electric capacity to all V sub-systems for Project Capitoline". Some say that this project is Stapleford attempting to invoke and research deep psionic phenomena, while others posit that it is an attempt to yield a superturing-class or even hyperturing-class artificial intelligence. The CCR and Stapleford Group both have verified to the media that none of these are the case, with the official explanation being that an aberrant power allocation protocol misdirected power to the mainframes, resulting in an explosion within the server rooms and a subsequent total blackout of the surrounding urban areas.

Nightshade Nebula

> *"A massive void in the sky that humanity feared for millennia - now, through science, being relegated to nothing more as a black nuisance in the nights across the Coalition." -* anon. astronomer
>
>

## Nightshade Nebula

### Notable features

Apophis lost colony
Throat of Erebus

### Designations

NEB-001

The **Nightshade Nebula**, designated **NEB-001** by the Coalition Astrocartography Service, is a large absorption nebula that spans portions of space to the southwest of the Coalition of Congressional Republics, with the closest permanent settlement to the nebula lying within the Gabriel star system. Incarnating in human history and mythology as a great spanning darkness in the sky - a physical representation of abysses such as the Auronean mythical realm of Tartarus - the advent of space exploration has yielded the Nebula's rather clean-handed nature. Even so, the Nightshade Nebula is still feared by colonists due to the fate of the lost colony of Apophis.

An anomalous signal by the name of **22X-B9** has been detected emanating from somewhere behind the Nightshade Nebula. It is currently being investigated by the Interstellar Coalition Space Navy's Space Exploration and Discovery Corps instead of the civilian Coalition Congressional Space Agency due to the "seemingly methodical nature of the signal", which may be a sign of xenosophonts and intelligent alien life.
Pearl River Delta Megasprawl

A portion of the Guangzhou sector in the Pearl River Delta Megasprawl

The **Pearl River Delta Megasprawl** is the largest megasprawl within the entirety of the Coalition of Congressional Republics by sheer population. Sprawling over two countries—the People's Republic of China and the autonomous Republic of Hong Kong and Macau—it is home to over seventy five billion people and hosts the critically important cities of Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Macau, alongside that of the Central Headquarters of the Coalition right off of Hong Kong's coast.

The Pearl River Delta Megasprawl is also one of the most economically important areas of both Earth and the wider Coalition, hosting the Central Hong Kong Stock Exchange that boasts all known human megacorporations on its index.

One of the reasons for its supremely high population—despite being beaten in land area by megasprawls such as those on Hyperion, or in other Earthborne nations—is due to the centralization of all interstellar economics, trade, and politics in Hong Kong following the Coalition's move of its facilities to the area from Tokyo in 2084, when the CHC was completed. This phenomenon continued for the next six hundred years, with the megasprawl growing in conjunction to that of the wider Coalition.
Coalition Forces Authority Space Command

The **Coalition Forces Authority Space Command** ( **Abbr.**  ***CFASC***) is the command apparatus responsible for coordinating all spaceborne elements of the Coalition Forces Authority, the armed forces of the Coalition of Congressional Republics. More specifically, CFASC is responsible for ensuring smooth operational stability and communication through its structure as a joint command system, including commanders of spatial elements from the Interstellar Coalition Terrestrial Army, Interstellar Coalition Space Navy, and Interstellar Coalition Marine Corps.

CFASC was established in 2077 during the reorganization of the armed forces that participated in the Second Martian-Terran War into the CFA. Its creation allowed a more succinct command structure to materialize between the previously disjointed naval forces and between their army transport elements. In the modern day, the CFASC is delegated command over all naval elements of the CFA, with its terrestrial complement being the Coalition Forces Authority Terrestrial Command ( **Abbr.**  ***CFATC***).

est. in the hundreds of billions

The **Hyperion Commission**, also known as the **Hyperian Mafia**, is a powerful criminal alliance of Italian origin on the world of Hyperion that split from the influences of the Italian-American Mafia in 2126 under the leadership of Tazanio De Dominicis, the first *Capo di tutti i capi*. Originally a mob infiltration of space dockworkers and shipbreakers of various races, the arrival of Italian and Italian-American immigrants onto the world allowed for the formation of criminal cabals and suborganizations that operated autonomously from its overseers in America; as a result, with the growth of Hyperion's political and economic power, the mafia groups in Hyperion declared independence from their Earth ancestors in what would become the Bergen Beach War.

With their victory in the war and subsequent independence, the newly founded Hyperion Commission immediately moved to infiltrate corporations and subsidiaries operating on Hyperion, often coming to blows with other criminal groups such as the Hyperion yakuza *Akashiro-kai* and *Zedohishi-kai.* Despite the Commission's ethnic origin in Italian commanders, the bulk of its forces were composed of a miscellany of associates of varying Terran and other planetary origins; as a result, it quickly liberalized to confer the same benefits of membership to both Italians and other races with the exclusion of having the ability to become "made men". This decision, protecting the internal customs of the Commission, both conferred internal stability and external adaptability to absorb gangs and criminal groups beneath them as mutually profitable associate entities.

In the modern day, the Hyperion Commission is considered to be one of the most powerful criminal groups in all of the Hathor star system, with its power exuding even farther than Hyperion to nearby planetary systems. It maintains unofficial links and alliances to multiple native and international megacorporations, but has been involved throughout the history of Hyperion in various open and underground wars against Asian criminal groups such as Japanese yakuza, Chinese triad, and Korean geondal organizations. This has conferred an anti-Asian bias among many members and associates of the mafia, and has even pushed the mafia into conflicts with Asian megacorporations such as the Chen Wu Corporation and Kanetomi Corporation on the behest of their corporate allies.
TROY (Trojan)

**TROY** was an anti-artificial intelligence devastator malware that, alongside PROMETHEUS, was created by the Coalition of Congressional Republics in order to fight the rogue METASASIS AI during the Machine War in the 2160s. Under digital warfare protocols, TROY was inserted (through physical deployment or digital intrusion) into any mainframe suspected to be infected by METASASIS, wiping all possible software; this was sometimes done before PROMETHEUS was routed to take control, especially in the case of essential systems, such as life support or atmospheric controls.

Due to its nature as a total obliterator of software, this included its own staging and propagation code. Thus, when TROY completed its devastation protocol, it even wiped its own code behind. As a result of this power, all payloads of TROY except for the original code on Earth were subsequently destroyed following the end of the Machine War. The original code, stored in Hong Kong, was safekept in the event that the original iterations of PROMETHEUS turned aberrant.

However, with continual upgrading of PROMETHEUS and the improvement of anti-aberrancy measures, TROY has become defunct in its application to destroy superturings.

### Affiliation

 Coalition Forces Authority

**Idyllia Defense Solutions**, also referred to simply as **Idyllia**. is a large private security and paramilitary contractor enterprise that is currently based in the San David metrozone of the planet of Tellus, within the Elpis star system. Originally a humble European PMC company from Earth that was formed in 2397 by Saamian Hemminki Vennamo, its subsequent purchase by the PMC conglomerate Whiterock only lasted up to the latter's eventual dissolution after a famous Security Intelligence Network investigation yielded a miscellany of embezzlements and corporate tax being withheld from the Coalition government. A once-more independent Idyllia, under its new leader and CEO Máté Szűts (ancestor of the current CEO, Bendegúz Szűts), retooled itself into becoming an assistant R&D and logistical asset of the Coalition Forces Authority, with experienced operatives rivaling that of competitors such as the Hecate Security Enterprises and private military elements of Tarkov-Hessen.

Currently, Idyllia Defense Solutions is engaged within numerous contracts with the CFA in the ongoing War on Terror, and has presence in theaters such as Operation Victory's Trident. They also have numerous assistance programs with various law enforcement agencies, including the Hyperion Police Department of Hyperion in the Hathor star system. They have also been awarded contracts with CFA scientific elements in guarding various xenoarchaeological sites across the Coalition that once belonged to the extinct Forefather Civilization.
PROMETHEUS

**PROMETHEUS**, officially designated the **Coalition Cyberdefense Intelligence**, is a superturing artificial intelligence that constructed and currently manages the Great Stellar Firewall. Its primary directive is to combat rogue artificial intelligences and segregate the human-trafficked InfoScape from the bowels of the Hypernet that possess these powerful digital entities.

PROMETHEUS originally activated in 2173 to fight METASTASIS in the Machine War. The latter AI, originally intended to be a mass-scale surveillance system, had went rogue as a result of independently determining the human species as the greatest security threat to itself, thereby triggering an attempt of mass genocide across the Coalition of Congressional Republics. However, PROMETHEUS was engineered to be directly subservient to humanity no matter its logical deductions, utilizing novel cognitive parameters to stay loyal to the CCR. This allowed PROMETHEUS to slowly, but surely over time, destroy METASTASIS's presence in the Hypernet and thus create the Great Stellar Firewall.

## Etymology

PROMETHEUS gained its name from its origin in Project Prometheus. Its moniker is a reference to the Greek titan of fire, Prometheus, who stole fire from the gods of Olympus and bequeathed it to humanity in the form of technology and innovation.
Superparty

The term **superparty** is used by modern political analysts and scientists to refer to political entities that supersede the normal national boundaries of what would constitute a normal "political party". More specifically, this term is used to refer to the various political parties existent in the arms of government of the Coalition of Congressional Republics, such as the General Congress of the Coalition.

Superparties, as individual entities, exist independently of their subparties on an operational level; however, they levy the bulk of their political support and momentum from said subparties. For example, the New Democratic Party is the largest superparty in the Coalition, and although it exists as its own entity, most of its power comes from chapters of the party and allied subparties that exist in the governments of subordinate Coalition member republics, such as the New Democratic Party of Hyperion. The policies and objectives set by the governing body of the superparty are generally reflected across most (if not all) of its subparties, lest separation occurs due to ideological or organizational differences.
