The Engine

The Engine is a Black Orb that floats in space between the stars somewhere within Confederacy space. The Lanaktallan's 271st Task Force encountered The Engine while on their mission of subjugation, The Engine seems to have been able to cause gravity shadows to force ships to drop out of Jumpspace, the 271st Task Force consisted of 600 ships. It seems after removing the Task Force from Jumpspace The Engine proceeded to take control of their ships and scan all their databases and take full control of the ships. The Engine when it spoke to the Most High Untara'a, appeared on the main display screen as a dot of bluish white light that proceeded to pulse getting bigger with each pulse, until suddenly flashing rapidly and transforming into a face made of bluish white code. It's appearance was hard edged, with two eyes of bright blue while the edges of the face where chrome and sharp looking.

While The Engine was conversing with the Most High it spoke in perfect Lanaktallan without moving its mouth, it informed the crew that it was examining and assimilating their culture and warned them against fleeing. After successfully identifying their species and that they were a species that is hostile and in service to a government hostile to The Engine, it informed them that they were slated for termination. The Engine gave each ship one chance to plea for survival. Afterwards The Engine dismissed the plea made by the Most High and combined with all the evidence of genetic and biological warfare technology upon the ships The Engine informed them they had sixty seconds to perform their species death rites if any. The Engine then left them sitting there in dead ships, after venting the atmosphere from all ships.

The Engine then proceeded to resume his duty of monitoring Jumpspace in a 500 light year span around himself.

The Engine was encountered by Admiral Jeff Picark 8873 and the crew of the Dakota, who managed to interface with it and download invaluable information regarding Precursor war machine types as well as data on the Lanaktallan battle groups.

The Admiral and his crew discussed shutting The Engine down according to Event rules but his Riker and Guinan both agreed that leaving The Engine in place might be the best course of action.

His Scotty and LaForge made some modifications to its GameShark Codes to allow for remote shut down, although the Admiral felt that this was unlikely to work.

There has only been one other mention of The Engine and it was by the Mantid Gestalt when describing a nightmare that she keeps having.

## Origin

The Engine was created by the United Federation of Planets, Star Trek LARP Guild some 4000 years ago as a "V'ger Cloud" for their "Troubles of Stardates Past" Event. It was programmed to protect a 500 Light Year bubble around itself and was placed on the edge of the Long Dark. It was never encountered by the LARPers and has carried out self-modification in accordance with its original programming.

## Mentions of The Engine

The Engine is first mentioned in Chapter 137

The Engine is mentioned again in Chapter 211 Interlude

The origin of The Engine is covered in Chapter 462

Soul Uninterrupted Disaster Storage

The Soul Uninterrupted Disaster Storage, Sentience Upload/Download System, or SUDS, is a technology used by the Terran Confederacy to back up and store sapient minds in the case of catastrophic injury. Almost every Confederacy Terran Descent Human is equipped with a SUDS unit. The system behind it was first built during the Terran Republic.

## Description

A SUDS unit is located at the base of the skull, and constantly records a being's mental engrams, thought patterns, and a molecular map of their neural tissue. They are backed up on Master SUDS Arrays through paired spooky particles. In the event of brain death, a record is kept of the being's mind and uploaded into a cloned body. With SUDS, humans are capable of living centuries before suffering from mind degradation. Within individual units, there is a lump of seemingly inert strange matter that vibrates at a certain frequency to transmit data to the SUDS Control Area.

The "backbone" of the SUDS system is housed in an alternate dimension with Soulnet and Solnet, along with the gestalt systems. It consists of a Matrioshka Brain built around a universe with a constantly cycling Big Bang and Big Crunch. Because of its size and power source, the Brain has effectively infinite processing power and storage. The Brain also uses its considerable processing ability to simulate effectively infinite realities to act as an afterlife for dead sentiences.

The data from SUDS units are fed through the system for processing and storage. The backbone was damaged after the Glassing the ability to directly access its systems was lost until Sam-Ul was able to hack into the Solnet system in Legion's black box.

Sky Nebula Alignment

The Sky Nebula Alignment is a mysterious part of the Confederacy that may be aligned with the Black Box and the Terran Contingency plans for ensuring the Survival of the Terran races. The Lanaktallans believe that they are allies of convenience to the terrans, but also know essentially nothing of them.

## Description

Very little is known of the Sky Nebula Alignment. They have a Terran Gestalt, but it rarely ever speaks.

## History

The Sky Nebula Alignment is believed to have been founded by TerraSol, and may be associated with the Terran's project Dandelion from the Diaspora. Their gestalt reconnected to the Gestalt chatroom to the suprise of the Treana'ad gestalt using old codes and protocols after the second battle of Telkan, apparently after having been disconnected for some time. A short while later, it was given admin controls and used them to disconnect and 'go dark'. The Mantid and Terrasol Gestalts purged all references of the SNA from the Terran data networks to ensure survival of the Terran species.
Tukna'rn

The Tukna'rn are a neo-sapient species of the United Council of Systems.

## Description

The Tukna'rn are a large, by UCS standards, robust, muscular, bipedal species not known for hyper-intelligence, cleverness or ingenuity. Their lifespan is relatively short when compared to the Lanaktallan, in the case of Undrat, 5 generations of his family have served under the same overseer.

They have thick skin in multiple layers, able to absorb neural bolt shots with little more impact than a stinging insect bite, their skin flushes a deep blue-green when exposed to higher levels of stellar radiation.

Able to work for a full 9 hours and repeat after 15 hours of rest, they can work on planets with up to 1.6G (Terran) and can lift their own body weight over their heads. They possess enough grip strength to break Lanaktallan bones and to shatter spines with their fists.

The Tukna'rn have excellent memory retention and seem to be immune to the psychic attacks of both the Precursor AWMs and the Atrekna.

## Culture

The Tukna'rn are a stoic people who value hard work, perseverance and endurance. They take pleasure in these things, a job well done, the solving of long and difficult tasks, enduring whatever has to be endured.

Largely uninterested in colonies or expanding their race, they have been absorbed into the corporate structure of the UCS, often moved by the tens of thousands to new colonies as they are discovered.

## History

Discovered by the Lanaktallan over 50 million years ago, the Tukna'rn are found amongst the neo-sapient species of most UCS planets as manual workers and security guards.

## Home System

The Tukna'rn homeworld is lost to history as the entire species has been relocated inumerable times by the Lanaktallan corporations.

## Notable Members

Undrat - A loyal worker, nominated for the Confederacy Armed Forces by his overseer and currently training as a Heavy Weapons Specialist in the TC Army.

P’Thok

P'Thok was a Treana'ad warrior caste that lived during the Treana'ad-Human war. He is ultimately responsible for the armistice and eventual end of the war, through the discovery of birth control, cigarettes, and ice cream, all items that are still extremely important to modern Treana'ad culture.

## Description

P’Thok is a Trana'ad warrior sent to TerraSol as a spy during the Second Treana'ad/Terran War. He infiltrated Terra and discovered ice cream, which turns out to be a highly addictive and intoxicating substance to the Treana'ad.

## History

P'Thok's birth and raising is fairly unknown, although he was a typical male Treana'ad warrior. However, upon his return, he spoke of many things, from ice cream to dancing to 'playing cards and smoking cigarettes' and other things.

He acted as the Treana'ad's voice to the Terrans when they made 3 demands to end the war. The Treana'ad demanded, through P'Thok the secrets of the following: Birth Control, Ice Cream, and Cigarettes.

P'Thok lived to nearly 135 Terran Standard Years old, almost unheard of for a highly desired male, which usually ended up with their heads eaten. His birthday is celebrated throughout Treana'ad Space with a three day party.

## Trivia

* P'Thok was the first ever character ralts created in the First Contact universe.
Ast'Lar

N'Kar matron of the Windsong Isle, master of malicious compliance, Post Mistress/Postal Most High of N'Karoo and the architect of the surrender of N'Karoo and its people to the Terran Confederacy.

## History

A menial worker in N'Karoo's starport when a Terran fleet arrived in system. When they demanded to speak with the Planetary Postal Most High, the System Most High pointed to her and told her she was it.

Ast'Lar met with Major Emanual Cortez Kiklikik Wamaka, Terran Space Force Amenesty Interstellar and Interstellar Red Cross/Red Cresent Representative and took delivery of 20 dollys of POW mail. Sensing an opportunity, Ast'Lar asked "Cort" for a copy of the Terran Rules of Warfare, he gave her a datapad which also included a list of POWs and deceased.

Using the datapad as a tool to threaten the Lanaktallan overseers with dire Terran consequences, she hired 20 female N'Karoo as postal workers, including Uln'Var, the mother of Del'Var, got assigned an office and a ship to shore radio, all without charge.

Ast'Lar read the rules in detail and created a document which she showed to other Matrons, Clan and Island Leaders gaining their agreement and signatures. On Cort's fifth visit, she presented him with the document and formally surrendered the N'Karrian people and the planet of N'Karoo to the Terran Confederacy.

Following the Lanaktallan retreat from N'Karoo, Ast'Lar continued as Post Mistress and witness for interactions with the Terran Confederacy, including Elven Princess Ta'va'dee, daughter of High Queen An'Dahl-Vee, the Elven Court provided by the Confederacy to restore the planet.

Ustelet

Ustelet is an Hakanian of the middle planet in the green zone of the Kteshaka'an system.

## Description

Ustelet is a Lemur-like primate, standing around four feet tall.

## **History**

Ustelet was a gardening slave for one of the families of Lanaktallan Overseers that governed his homeworld in the Kteshaka'an system, provided with food rations and allowed to live in a burrow warren with his burrow-mates, within the city confines.

When the Precursor AWM's invaded the system, the Overseers either retreated to sealed underground shelters, or fled the system in various starships.

Initially, Ustelet carried on caring for the plants in his Overseer's manor but received no ration coupons and so went hungry, then one morning he encountered a group of Hakanian females holding infants and leading children looking to see if anyone had any food. In desperation Ustelet had opened an Overseer food box, handing out the food to the females. He waited for an Overseer to rush up and discipline him for opening the box, but nothing happened.

Many of the Hakanian began to leave the cities, streaming out into the fields and farms and great sculpted parks, but Ustelet stayed in the city. He painted arrows to where food plants were, to where water was, and wandered the empty streets.

On his travels he found a display screen. On it he managed to puzzle out the meaning of the pictures. The pictures were asking if he needed help, if any of the Hakanians needed help, he pressed the icon that he needed help. The icons asked if someone could come in to help him, Ustelet pressed yes and forgot about it.

A few days later Ustelet met his first Terran Warborg, who asked if he need help. Ustelet explained that he was looking for lost females and immature Hakanians and the Terran promised to help.

Some days later, Ustelet was awakened by the return of the Overseer starships, and their emergence from their underground shelters. The Terran Warborg witnessed a Female Lanaktallan chastising her slave, and intervened, protecting Ustelet. In the course of this encounter the Lanaktallan socio-police, LawSec and CorpSec performed The Prime Miscalculation, resulting in the immediate death of many Lanaktallan and the capture and subsequent expulsion of all those remaining in the system.
The Sleeping Ones

During the Mantid Invasion, the death of billions of Humans sent others, almost another billion into shock, catatonia and coma due to the shattering of the then SoulNet where the SUDs were connected to . These ones have been put into dreamless stasis until a fix to the psychic shock that caused this can be found. They are referred to as 'The Sleeping Ones'.

Mar-gite

The Mar-gite were crystalline, silicate based, aliens from outside the Orion Spur that attacked the Terran Confederacy without warning and without any communication. Despite the Terran's calls for diplomacy, the Mar-gite remained silent and aggressive and thus became one of thirteen species driven to extinction by the Terrans.

## Description

Mar-gite were silicon based crystalline life forms. Five limbed with a central section, much like a Terran starfish. They had eyes at the end of their legs/arms, as well as several more ringing a central mouth. Their colors varied depending on unknown factors, either black, bone white, pink, reddish, or dark purple. Their eyes were bloodshot and rolled around in the 'sockets' often aimlessly.

Their undersides were covered in pinkish red cilia, and their teeth were calcite based. Mar-gite apparently communicated through pheromones, and smelled like pine scented cleaning products.

## Culture

Mar-gite language and thought process are alien enough that no communication has ever been established successfully; either that, or they refused all communication. The only thing known is that are a spacefaring species, that they can feed on carbon-based lifeforms and have a predilection to digest them alive.

## History

The Mar-gite attacked from the nearby galactic arm, using several star systems scattered roughly 25 LY apart to cross the gulf between the galactic arm and the Orion Spur. Within a year they had attacked and taken over 300 systems. It wasn't until the information about how the Mar-gite ate that the Confederacy went to war. They prefer carbon-based life forms to eat and will abandon a world once all the carbon life has been devoured. They 'ate' by grabbing onto victims and extruding acids to dissolve the life-form, devouring the nervous system last, seeming to relish the pain.

This almost caused the collapse of the Confederacy as the Senate proclaimed that perhaps if the Confederacy just gave the worlds to the Mar-gite they wanted, then they'd be sated and stop their attack. This caused riots on over 5,000 worlds, culminating in the Confederate Senate being lynched in the streets.

The Mar-gite did not communicate, so their desires and wants are unknown.

The war lasted for nearly a century, close to 300 planets were planet cracked and nearly a thousand worlds were depopulated, but they were exterminated, through planet crackers and rumors of worse. Of the 14 or so star systems they used to cross the Hub-Ways Gulf, only 4 remain. Those four are some of the most heavily defended systems outside of TerraSol itself.

Whether or not there are more Mar-gite and whether or not they were fleeing a stronger adversary is currently unknown.

Wemterran

**Wemtarran**

The Wemtarran Dominion declared war on the Terran Confederacy some 2000 years ago and as a result, were one percented by the Terrans (meaning their entire population was reduced to one percent of its previous numbers, and their technological advancement forced back to pre-industrial levels).

Since then the Wemtarran have rebuilt much of their world, however the Terrans inflicted such a psychic shock that Wemtarran would not willingly look at the sky for long, or consider leaving the ground.

## Description

The Wemtarran are a bipedal, warm-blooded, mammalian species with a strong internal skeleton, good visual and aural acuity and binocular vision.

Their fur is color adaptable, they have a good fat layer helping to retain heat and also have sweat glands beneath their fur. They have both a short infancy and adolescence.

They have a psychic/empathic connection with all other Wemtarran within a range of a few miles.

## Culture

The Wemtarran are a martial culture, currently organized by clans and city states. The clans frequently war with each other, fighting with swords and armor in heavily regulated combat.

As a result of their conflict with the Terran Confederacy they have a cultural and societal taboo against even looking up for too long and a fear of the night sky.

A known Wemtarran leadership maxim:

"A ruler or leader is only as good as his court and the court is only as good as their truthfulness"

## History

During the course of the war with the Terran Confederacy, the Wemtarran drove the Stemmel and the Vormaktin to extinction, contributing to the Confederacy's decision to 1% them.

The Atrekna discovered the Wemtarran homeworld by chance during what later became to be known as the Atrekna-Builder war, they began the process of changing them to overcome the fear of flying, and the fear of leaving their world. The Atrekna planned to use the Wemtarran as troops against the Confederacy.

However, the arrival of a small group of Terrans who were accidentally pulled through a portal to the Wemtarran home world triggered a massive mental shockwave through the localized psychic link Wemtarran all share.

## Home System

Little is currently known, other than their homeworld being the third planet from their star.

Brentili’ik

Brentili’ik is a Terran citizen, director of the Telkan evacuation, System Director and the pro-tem governor of the Telkan system. She is the wife of Vuxten.

## History

Brentili'ik is the wife of Vuxten and of the Broodcarriers Synthal'la and Ilmata'at. For most of her life she was a scrubbing maid for the Kistimet Corporation.

During the Precursor Autonomous War Machine attack on the Telkan home worlds, Brentili'ik was taken with the broodcarriers to safety by the Terran forces present on the surface. On arrival at the refugee camp Are-Bee ONTARIO she met Major Weskill who was her liaison and primary medical provider. It was shortly after meeting Major Weskill that Brentili'ik learnt that she was to lead the Telkan people. This overwhelmed her for a moment but she regained composure quickly.

After the Precursor attack was over and she was reunited with Vuxten, they discussed the jobs offered to them by the Terran Confederacy and both decided to accept their roles. Vuxten as the liaison of Telkans in the Terran Military and to complete his training to become a Terran Marine. Brentili'ik took on the role of Director of the Telkan people to work with the Terran Confederacy to care for and protect her people and home.

Brentili'ik met with Colonel James Hikikitik Harvey to accept the role of Director. Brentili'ik's desire for her people to have a greater understanding and guiding hand in their destiny decided that education was the most important starting point and to that end had all taught, Males, Females, Podlings and Broodcarriers.

During the Dwellerspawn attacks on the Telkan worlds, Brentili'ik gave permission for the Terran Confederacy troops to go to full and total warfare including the deployment of Elven Queens and courts. When addressing the Commanders of the offensive on the Telkan worlds Brentili'ik said the following

"This is our home."

"And we want it back."

Comparison of standards

This page is meant to be a collection of standard measurements in the First Contact universe.

## Gravity

Standard gravity acceleration, as measured by the Unified Science Council and converted to metric equals to 7.355 m/s^2 and is defined as 1 Standard Gravity. In contrast, the Terran Confederacy uses Earth Gravity (or 'G'), measured at 9.8066 m/s^2.

Ergo: "**1 Standard Gravity = 0.75 Earth Gravity**". A few common conversions are listed below:

Some interesting factoids from that:

* Cheekeet Longflight can fly in 1.5 Standard G; a little over 1.1 Earth G.

## Time

A **Cycle** converts to roughly 10 Earth Hours, and a **Great Cycle** roughly to 1.5 years. Yet what exactly they measure is uncertain. A Cycle has been referred as one shift of work.[citation needed]

Measuring time in Cycles and Great Cycles only occurs in early chapters; later chapters use human measurements for time. There are roughly 1314 Cycles in a Great Cycle.

## Military Units

One reoccurring issue in the earlier chapters is the difference in scale when it comes to forces fielded by the Unified Military Council compared to the Confederacy. The United Council of Systems possesses more personnel, but the units themselves are lighter—prioritizing cost, standardization, ease of use and collateral damage avoidance over power.

* The Aerial Powered Armor the 12th Air Mobile (led by Old Iron Feathers) used were some of the best the Unified Military Fleet could supply to Neosapients species. Terrans considered it Search and Rescue gear.
* Kistimet Corporation's security forces fielded a 150-ton hovertank as its Main Battle Tank. Terran Confederacy forces fielded those as Cavalry Scouts. An M1A2 Abrams, an MBT from the 21st century weighs 62 to 66 tons depending on its configuration, while typical Confederacy MBTs start at 2800 tons.

Critically wounded and placed in medical stasis when his dropship crashed, he was found after several months by refugees who managed to revive two green mantid engineers who then revived "our Terran Friend." The refugees called him "Our Friend the Terran" which was later shortened to "Friend Terry."

Working with the engineers, he protected the refugees and eventually gathered the equipment needed to use a heavy nanoforge recovered from a destroyed tank to build a starship and escape.

Friend Terry, like virtually all other Terran Descent Humans, died during the Great Die Off.
Legion

Legion is a Human in the Terran Confederacy, and a master of genetic engineering with a specialty in cloning. He is a Clinical Immortal and was presumed dead for thousands of years.

## Description

Legion appears as a bald male human with a large beard when working in the Black Box. He has dark skin and appears to be of Hindi descent.

When "respawning" after every instance of him is destroyed, he emerges from a Deadspace portal in Combine power armor. His clone batch number is missing and this mode is referred to as "The Army of One" as he will quickly begin to split off. He wears no helmet, his armor is black with red edging and the Combine/Imperium Eagle on the chest in burning warsteel. He wields a multitude of weapons as per mission need.

As "Legion of One" in charge of the "Fleet of One" he wears ancient Combine Fleet Admiral regalia, is clean-shaven with short black hair and a Combine military identification tattoo on his left cheek. His clone batch barcode is on the back of his neck.

## Personality

Legion is known for arrogance and detachment. He holds most people, including many of his fellow Immortals, in contempt. The one he shows respect for the most are Daxin and Bellona. He is kind to those on the bottom of society and is known to go to extensive measures to free those in slavery or bondage. He also shows kindness to those who face horrible tasks that must be done no matter what the cost.

Legion as Dhruv is a calm man, patient and methodical.

Legion as Victor is a helpful kind person willing to go the extra mile.

It is believed that Legion's personality can fragment and reconstitute itself.

## History

Legion was Born Whole as a menial laborer with limited mental capacity in the estate of an uber-rich family after the Extinction Agenda Attack. He was intended to live only twenty years. After the manor he worked in was destroyed by a nuclear attack, the unnamed clone was able to survive starvation and continue his duties for three years, knowing nothing else.

He was found by Digital Omnimessiah and Enraged Phillip in the third year of his unsupervised work, whereupon the Omnimessiah granted him full intelligence and named him Vat-Grown Luke.

At some point before the fall of the Imperium of Light, Daxin Freeborn tasked Legion with a demand to do something for him. Later revealed to be providing the Combine Psychic Warrior package for the Martial Orders. During this time, Legion managed to cure and revive Daxin's wife and daughters and also somehow recreated canines and felines successfully, however Daxin's family along with the specimens were killed when he was defeated. [172]

Some time after the Fall of the Imperium of Light, Legion vanished. It is assumed he did some kind of job for Daxin Freeborn.

He was found working at a Clone-My-Shit-Up shop going under the name Victor and was recruited for a Black Box project only a few months prior to the Sixth Invasion of the TerraSol System.

Permission to enter

Permission to Enter is a significant part of the culture of consent that Terrans and allied races cultivate. As a rule, almost all confed members cannot enter a system or building without consent from the owner or resident. When provided consent, Terrans can render aid as needed, including supplies, resources, and military action. This seems to follow Terran concepts of informed, willing consent, but Terrans do sometimes stretch these laws to assist people. This appears to be a characteristic that is ingrained into their society, to the point where Terrans will not render aid unless invited in. Terrans say that it is rude not to ask permission before entering, but they are also unable to act without permission. They also ask permission before medical procedures, data collection, and rendering assistance.

Terrans do not ask for permission to enter when at war with an entity.

Notably, Daxin Freeborn and his companion FIDO do not always follow these consent laws; it is unknown if this is possible for all Terrans, something found in the Confed but not followed by the members of the crusade of wrath, or a exception specific to Daxin. Daxin almost always asks for permission to enter, however, as it is polite to do so.

This relates to the pre-diaspora concept of informed consent, where consent must be freely given, fully informed as to what the individual is agreeing too, clearly given, and ongoing and revocable. Consent is a large part of Terran culture.

## Speculation

This is an absolute rule for most Terrans. It is believed that other members of the Confed follow it due to the value Terrans place on it.

Vuxten was awoken by Terran military personnel in his apartment who he had not let in, but it is possible that those personnel were ones who had previously been invited in.

Part 16 - mantid diplomacy team requests permission. Confed Fleet is already allowed in.

Part 4 - Max Yo Ngyn rendered aid to researchers on Tubaven. He stopped at the threshold of the research facility and asked to come in, saying that "[the researchers] kind of have to invite [him]." Once invited he moved in and out freely.

Part 9 - FIDO freeborn boarded in *It Tastes Sweet* without permission, but apologized, saying:

"//Fido goodboi//

//Fido sorry not ask to come in//

//Fido help newboi//"

Part 2 - Daxin asking for permission to come onboard - "You have to invite me onboard, those are the rules," it said."
BOLO

BOLOs are massive supertanks used by the Terran Confederacy. On average they mass several thousand tons, and have armaments to match.

They carry human history and science in their databanks.

## Description

BOLOs resemble a pyramid with the top third sliced off. They have eight treads, four on each side, and each BOLO masses over 20000 tons. They are studded with weapons, and appear black to optical scanners. Their armor is molecularly bound and aligned, reflecting back all scanning technology. Their armor is triple layered, with a black layer, presumably Warsteel, underneath the top layer and a shiny layer beneath that made of flintsteel.

BOLOs all carry a digital sentience that operates its many functions, along with a organic captain paired with each DS. The captain provides organic input and helps generate random encryption keys for the BOLO as well as defend against electronic warfare, while the DS handles the actually operation of the BOLO's myriad systems.

BOLOs are built to be highly redundant, with multiple shielding, power, and weapons systems that operate independently of each other. Their generators have three redundancies, and multiple different methods of power generation including zero point reactors, graviton reactors, thorium salt fusion reactors, and deuterium fusion reactors. They have multiple creation engines and repair systems, and their battle-screens are able to convert energy weapons into usable power. Their battle screens are double layered, as strong as a Jotun's, and use absurdly complex algorithms.

Their main weapons consist of six massive 200mm Hellbores, configured in two triple barrels that operate seperately. Each Hellbore is capable of outputting 16 kilotons per shot. Along with that, they have over eighty infinite repeaters with creation engine loaders, many of which are kinetic shock weapons, rocket pod launchers, many laser point defense systems, over twenty 60mm mortar tubes, 54-inch Vertical Launch Rocket Systems used for orbital denial loaded with atomics, and a few drone launchers.

Furthermore, BOLOs are equipped with highly advanced electronic warfare suites, and are very adept in launching electronic attacks through every means possible. Alongside normal communication links, they can send attack programs through light sensors, radar, LIDAR, laser ranging systems, graviton sensors, and seismic sensors through an impact device.

## Notable BOLOs

* Atilla (Unit XXIX-TCSF 3285-ATL of the Line)

Clone Worlds Directorate

A member entity of the Terran Confederacy, the systems of the Clone World Directorate are populated by Terran Descent Human clones. Lanaktallan estimates there to be 3,000 worlds in the Directorate.

## History

Cloning is a technology that has been available since pre-Diaspora humanity, Vat Grown Luke being an example of early use of the technology.

Their home system had been planet-cracked, The Imperium of Light had fought its way through clone troops in the service of Legion to accomplish this. But Terrans have always fought to undo the things they did and so, a thousand years later, a Singer in the Darkness had repaired the damage done by the Imperium of Light's Crusade of Burning Light and the later Crusade of Wrath. The planets were reformed, the system restored, and the last of the evidence that the Imperium of Light had ever existed was wiped from existence.

Later, during the fierce fighting that preceded the Confederacy, the system had been nova-sparked, the first act of the Confederacy was to have a Singer in the Darkness perform a Choir supported Symphony in the Dark and the cradle of the Directorate was restored once more.

## Culture

Little is known of the culture of the Clone worlds, they are heavily involved with providing clones for Terran LARPers and in the running of various LARP campaigns such as the Battle Hammer forty-thousand League.

The Directorate provides DNA cracking and sequencing of newly encountered genomes via the Clone World Genetic Foundries, They also provide Genome Cracker fleets to perform these tasks on the front line of conflicts.

Words Spoken We Fear

*Words Spoken We Fear* is a black Mantid intelligence analyst and a member of the TerraSol Diplomatic Corps team lead by *Dreams of Something More*, where he is, ostensibly, their communications specialist and translator.

## Description

Standing 3 feet tall, his manipulator arms end in three fingers and two thumbs. When relaxing, *Words* eVR quarters appear as a room within the Great Library of Alexandria from TerraSol history, he dresses as an ancient Terran philosopher in a white toga with a laurel wreath adornment on his head.

He is a highly skilled, trained, and experienced intelligence analyst and is able to speak the green Engineer Cant, with difficulty, rather than having to depend on implant translation of their emojis and icons.

He also enjoys teasing *Dreams of Something More* with "prophetic" predictive analyses.

## History

Hatched in Strawberry Ripple Moomoo Sunrise in the Hive Worlds of the Treana'ad Systems. His mother was a milkmaid guard and his father was a gunsmith making custom propellant pistols called Oldwest Banging Irons. He has a brother who took over after his father died.

Part of the Terrasol diplomatic mission to the United Council of Species. Initially he was the speaker for the Speaker team leader *Speaks in Loud Spaces*, until they commited suicide by warborg.

He was responsible for having the Terran warborgs deliver humanity's war-cry to the Unified Council and, following the first 2 assassination attempts on *Dreams of Something More* and the attempt on 117, informed Great Most High Gnumootoo of the detailed meaning of the 1% line.

After the team left the UCS capital world to begin searching for answers, they encountered a damaged ancient space station, *Speaks*' analysis determined its age and also its point of origin.

Following the TDH extinction, *Words* spoke frequently with *Dreams* of the looming possibilities of the revenge of humanity.

Yrler

Pelfar "Yrler" is a 23 year old Hakanian male raised as a gardener on the world of Harstenvernia, notable as the sole Hakanian qualified for Grav Striker combat during Operation Iron Piglet and his distinct scar around his right eye. Growing up surrounded by the Second Precursor War, Yrler became greatly skilled in fighting and surviving Atrekna and their DwellerSpawn before beginning Confederate training.

Yrler was born in a creche on Harstenvernia, and was raised as a gardener before the world was attacked by the Precursor Autonomous War Machines. Before Yrler was four, Terrans liberated the system, later to be invaded by the Lanaktallan Unified Council during what would later be known as the C3 War. During the near 3 year occupation, Yrler lived as a child soldier resisting the Lanaktallan.

A year after the end of the Lanaktallan occupation, the Atrekna invaded Harstenvernia and began their process of "sinking" the system. Yrler was part of the initial resistance over the 12 year occupation, piloting drones to fight off biological Atrekan slavespawn. Eventually, with less than a division of Confederate troops, Harstenvernia was eventually able to muster a force capable of pushing the Atrekna off the planet. Due to the Atrekna's sinking of the system and the time dilation it caused, however, Yrler aged the full 12 years he experienced against the 6 months which passed outside the system.

After the liberation, Yrler joined the Confederate Military, although during processing his records showed him as being eleven years old, which needed to be corrected by biometrics testing to place him at 23 years old. Pelfar preferred to be known by his callsign Yrler, nicknamed in for the Hakanian word for "right eye," due to his scarring around his right eye, a remnant of a bone deep injury involving a scope.
