Kreel's Investigation

The party was assigned by Chiskisk to investigate the tragic death of Duravor Kreel.

## Inciting Incident

Upon arriving at Docking Bay 94 on Absalom Station, the group spotted their contact, Duravor Kreel. At the same time, two groups of gang members entered the docking bay. One was clad in leather stationwear and piecemeal armor, while the other was wearing fairly similar flight suits, also decorated with various bits of armor. These groups were later identified as the Level 21 Crew and Downside Kings. Suddenly, a laser bolt struck Kreel, and he crumpled to the floor, which incited a volley of lasers from both gangs. The party was stuck engaged in the shootout until the arrival of station security at the scene.

The party navigated to the Lorespire Complex after finding the address on Kreel’s hacked datapad. They were waved into Chiskisk’s office, where the party informed Chiskisk of Kreel’s injuries. Chikisk was very distraught, and decided that as an initiation mission, the party was to investigate the shootout at docking bay 94, as well as find out why Kreel might be involved, if at all.

## Results and Findings

* After questioning several different residents of Absalom Station, such as Anoxia, the party was able to determine the identities of both gangs, and gather that they were hired by two companies in opposition regarding the rightful owner of the Drift Rock, a valuable meteor that had been retrieved by The Acreon.
	+ The Level 21 Crew had been hired by the Hardscrabble Collective, and the Downside Kings by Astral Extractions.
* By "investigating" the Fusion Queen, the headquarters of the Downside Kings, the Party was able to determine that they were indeed the ones that had shot Kreel. The party reported their findings to Chiskisk who was pleased that the culprits had been found, and organized for the party to be officially initiated into the Starfinder Society.

* Kreel managed to avoid certain death due to a backup lobe augmentation he had previously installed, preserving his brain activity. However, this has left him as little more that a brain in a jar, though Dr. Krozack has hopes to return him to normal through less than legal means.

DarkClan

**DarkClan** is one of the 5 Clans inhabiting the Clans' Territories.

## **Description**

DarkClan is accepting, kind and very trusting, sometimes a little too much, as enemies tend to use this against them. Their warriors are fast and stealthy, also very good at digging, which is good because their camp is located underground in an expanded abandoned fox den. DarkClan cats are poor climbers, though.

Territory Type: hills, grass fields, moors, rocks.

Special Skills: digging, fast running, sneaking.

Prey: rabbits, (moor) birds, mice.

## **Territory**

DarkClan lives in a hilly landscape with not a lot of growth, just the occasional bush and sometimes a tree. There are a lot of grass fields and moors. Underground in their territory,there is nothing but tunnels and burrows, dug by either DarkClan themselves, or other animals that live there. The soil is strong, so it doesn't collapse.

## **Relationships with other Clans**

### NightClan

NightClan and DarkClan have always been good allies, which is good because their border is not easily defendable or markable. It is very hard to see whether you crossed the border or not, the 2 Clans pardon each other for small mistakes like that. Many cats among the 2 Clans are close friends, and there has never been a war between them, and every conflict that had risen had been solved quickly.

### FireClan

FireClan and DarkClan don't share a border, they don't have much of a relationship either. They are mostly neutral against each other, but in times of war, DarkClan will always take NightClan's side. The overal personalities of FireClan and DarkClan are also conflicting, if they were to share a border, they would probably be very hostile towards each other.

### SeaClan

SeaClan and DarkClan leave each other alone, mostly because they don't share a border. They have a friendly attitude towards each other, DarkClan cats have several friends in SeaClan.

### MoonClan

DarkClan has been very helpful for MoonClan in the past, resulting in a good relationship.

Seniority in the United States House of Representatives

This is a complete list of current player members of the United States House of Representatives based on seniority. It also includes important NPCs. For the most part, representatives are ranked by the beginning of their terms in office. Representatives whose terms begin the same day are ranked alphabetically by last name.

## How seniority is calculated

Members of the House are arranged by the number of terms they have served, before being arranged by the beginning date of their most recent continuous service. Where members have served the same number of terms and have the same date of service, they are arranged alphabetically by last name.

Representatives who return to the House after having previously served in the House may be credited with service equal to one less than the number of terms they served. For example, Rep. Steve Chabot had previously served seven terms, from 1995 to 2009, when he was once again elected in 2010. Instead of holding seniority with others whose terms began January 3, 2011, he was credited with six terms, and holds seniority above all representatives whose terms began on or after January 3, 1999. When a representative has served a prior term of fewer than two terms (i.e., prior term minus one equals less than one), they are ranked above all others whose service begins on the same day.
President pro tempore of the United States Senate

**Deputy:** Any senator, typically a member of the majority party, designated by the President pro tempore

The **President pro tempore** of the United States Senate (often shortened to **president pro tem**) is the second-highest-ranking official of the United States Senate. Article One, Section Three of the United States Constitution provides that the Vice President of the United States is the President of the Senate (despite not being a Senator), and mandates that the Senate must choose a President pro tempore to act in the Vice President's absence. Unlike the Vice President, the President pro tempore is an elected member of the Senate, able to speak or vote on any issue. Selected by the Senate at large, the President pro tempore has enjoyed many privileges and some limited powers. During the Vice President's absence, the President pro tempore is empowered to preside over Senate sessions. In practice, neither the Vice President nor the President pro tempore usually presides; instead, the duty of the presiding officer is rotated among junior U.S. Senators of the majority party to give them experience in parliamentary procedure.

Cosco

Cosco is the benevolent owner of Shatter and Weld Pawn, and friend to the Starfinder Federation Union. He repairs all of the pawned goods himself, and sells them at a discounted price in order to compete with some of the larger chains that have been invading the Freemarkets.

## Personality

Cosco tends to speak in a booming voice, possibly intimidating those unacquainted with him. However, he is friendly and treats new faces as if they all stood on equal ground. He does harbor a certain resentment towards larger corporations in particular, though this emotion does not display itself very frequently. Cosco acts somewhat like an uncle to those younger than him, taking up the role of a protector or mentor. Cosco appears to be generally Good in alignment, and his general actions indicate that he's Lawful as well.

### Aptitudes and Flaws

Though Cosco is an outgoing person, he can tend to be socially inept. He is typically able to read the room, but often fails to pick up on smaller social cues. Cosco is by no means unintelligent, but his sphere of understanding quickly wanes when leaving the topics of business or machinery.

## Physical Description

Cosco has a very large frame, and towers over most other humans at 6' 3". He sports a beer gut as well, but the rest of his body shows an array of muscles lies under the outer layer. His skin is olive-toned, and a pair of green eyes lies in deep sockets. His natural hair color is black, but infrequent splotches are been bleached or dyed, presumably from various chemical spills while working in the shop. His hair is styled so that he has three unkempt faux-hawks which connect at the back of his head, while the rest is shaved down to just wisps. Cosco often wears a worn out leather vest over a stained apron, exposing his hairy chest and stomach. Cosco has no obvious visible augmentations.

## Major Relations

### Jack

Cosco has hired Jack of the Starfinder Federation Union as a part-time employee. He always needs help in the shop, and Jack's mechanical expertise is useful for repairing items that are brought in. The two definitely get along, despite the contrast in their personalities.

### Ceren

Cosco does not have a deep personal relationship with May F. Lower, but he vouches for the old woman under her new identity as May F. Lower. In order to protect and forge a new life for her, Cosco agreed to pretend that she was an employee and long-time friend.

## Interactions

### Introduction

The party first met Cosco after their first foray into the Freemarkets. They decided to stop in during Kreel's Investigation, in order to both buy new equipment and collect information. Although he had no information for them, Cosco was happy to sell them goods, and even let Jack work off the price of some items.

## History

See also: United States Department of Justice § History

Congress passed the Judiciary Act of 1789 which, among other things, established the Office of the Attorney General. The original duties of this officer were "to prosecute and conduct all suits in the Supreme Court in which the United States shall be concerned, and to give his advice and opinion upon questions of law when required by the president of the United States, or when requested by the heads of any of the departments". Some of these duties have since been transferred to the United States solicitor general and the White House counsel.

The Department of Justice was established in 1870 to support the attorneys general in the discharge of their responsibilities.

The attorney general, the secretary of state, the secretary of the treasury, and the secretary of defense are regarded as the four most important Cabinet officials in the United States because of the size and importance of their respective departments.

Attorney General is a Level I position in the Executive Schedule, thus earning a salary of US$221,400, as of January 2021.

The title "attorney general" is an example of a noun (*attorney*) followed by a postpositive adjective (*general*). "General" is a description of the type of attorney, not a title or rank in itself (as it would be in the military). Even though the attorney general (and the similarly titled solicitor general) is often referred to as "General" or "General [last name]" by senior government officials, this is considered incorrect in standard American English usage. For the same reason, the correct American English plural form is "attorneys general" rather than "attorney generals".

## Presidential transition

It is the practice for the attorney general, along with the other Cabinet secretaries and high-level political appointees of the President, to tender a resignation with effect on the Inauguration Day (January 20) of a new president. The deputy attorney general is also expected to tender a resignation, but is commonly requested to stay on and act as the attorney general pending the confirmation by the Senate of the new attorney general.

President of the United States

**Style:** Mr. President or Madam President (informal)
 **Status:** Head of State
 **Formation:** March 4, 1789
 **Salary:** USD 400,000 annually

The **President of the United States** (**POTUS**) is the head of state and head of government of the United States of America. The president directs the executive branch of the federal government and is the commander-in-chief of the United States Armed Forces.

In contemporary times, the president is looked upon as one of the world's most powerful political figures and as the leader of the only remaining global superpower. The role includes responsibility for the world's most expensive military that has the second-largest nuclear arsenal. The president also leads the nation with the largest economy by nominal GDP. The president possesses significant domestic and international hard and soft power.

Article II of the Constitution establishes the executive branch of the federal government. It vests the executive power of the United States in the president. The power includes the execution and enforcement of federal law, alongside the responsibility of appointing federal executive, diplomatic, regulatory, and judicial officers, and concluding treaties with foreign powers with the advice and consent of the Senate. The president is further empowered to grant federal pardons and reprieves and to convene and adjourn either or both houses of Congress under extraordinary circumstances. The president directs the foreign and domestic policies of the United States and takes an active role in promoting his policy priorities to members of Congress. In addition, as part of the system of checks and balances, Article I, Section 7 of the Constitution gives the president the power to sign or veto federal legislation. The power of the presidency has grown substantially since its formation, as has the power of the federal government as a whole.

Through the Electoral College, registered voters indirectly elect the president and vice president to a four-year term. This is the only federal election in the United States which is not decided by popular vote. Nine vice presidents became president by virtue of a president's intra-term death or resignation.

Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 sets three qualifications for holding the presidency: natural-born U.S. citizenship; at least thirty-five years of age; and residency in the United States for at least fourteen years. The Twenty-second Amendment precludes any person from being elected president to a third term. In all, 52 individuals have served 53 presidencies spanning 61 full four-year terms. Grover Cleveland served two non-consecutive terms, so he is counted twice; as both the 22nd and 24th president.

Cabinet

**Employee’s** 23 members:
* 1 vice president
* 15 principal officers

The **Cabinet of the United States** is a body consisting of the vice president of the United States and the heads of the executive branch's federal executive departments in the federal government of the United States, which is regarded as the principal advisory body to the president of the United States. The president is not formally a member of the Cabinet. The heads of departments, appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate, are members of the Cabinet, and acting department heads also sit at Cabinet meetings whether or not they have been officially nominated for Senate confirmation. The president may designate heads of other agencies and non-Senate-confirmed members of the Executive Office of the President as Cabinet-level members of the Cabinet.

The Cabinet does not have any collective executive powers or functions of its own, and no votes need to be taken. As of March 9, 2021, there were 24 members (26 including the president and vice president): 15 department heads (of whom three were acting), and 8 Cabinet-level members (of whom four are awaiting confirmation in the Senate).The Cabinet meets with the president in a room adjacent to the Oval Office. The members sit in the order in which their respective department was created, with the earliest being closest to the president and the newest farthest away.

The members of the Cabinet serve at the pleasure of the president, who can dismiss them at any time without the approval of the Senate, as affirmed by the Supreme Court of the United States in *Myers v. United States*(1926), or downgrade their Cabinet membership status. The president can organise the Cabinet as he sees fit, such as instituting committees. Like all federal public officials, Cabinet members are also subject to impeachment by the House of Representativesand trial in the Senate for "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors".

The Constitution of the United States does not explicitly establish a Cabinet. The Cabinet's role, inferred from the language of the Opinion Clause (Article II, Section 2, Clause 1) of the Constitution is to provide advice to the president. Additionally, the Twenty-fifth Amendmentauthorizes the vice president, together with a majority of the heads of the executive departments, to declare the president "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office". The heads of the executive departments are—if eligible—in the presidential line of succession.

The Cabinet permanently includes the vice president and the heads of 15 executive departments, listed here according to their order of succession to the presidency. The speaker of the House and the president *pro tempore* of the Senate follow the vice president and precede the secretary of state in the order of succession, but both are in the legislative branch and are not part of the Cabinet.

Party Leaders of the United States House of Representatives

**Party leaders and whips** of the United States House of Representatives, also known as floor leaders, are elected by their respective parties in a closed-door caucus by secret ballot.

Unlike the Senate Majority Leader, the House Majority Leader is the second highest-ranking member of his party's House caucus, behind the Speaker of the House. The Majority Leader's actual duties and prominence vary depending on the Speaker's power and style. Typically, the Speaker does not participate in debate and rarely votes on the floor. In some cases, Majority Leaders have been more influential than the Speaker; notably, Tom DeLay was more prominent than Speaker Dennis Hastert. In addition, Speaker Newt Gingrich delegated to Dick Armey an unprecedented level of authority over scheduling legislation on the House floor.

The current Minority Leader, John Cook, serves as floor leader of the opposition party, and is the counterpart to the Majority Leader. Unlike the Majority Leader, the Minority Leader is on the ballot for Speaker of the House during the convening of the Congress. If the Minority Leader's party takes control of the House, and the party officers are all re-elected to their seats, the Minority Leader is usually the party's top choice for Speaker for the next Congress, while the Minority Whip is typically in line to become Majority Leader. The Minority Leader usually meets with the Majority Leader and the Speaker to discuss agreements on controversial issues.
