## Description

The Backroom Colonists, previously known as The Backroom Pioneers and sometimes referred to as The Backroom Explorers, was originally a collection of diverse factions and smaller groups that ultimately united under an elected minister. This faction is the largest singular group of the known backrooms and one of the most powerful and influential groups, second only to the M.E.G, and is thriving in hundreds of levels.

Despite being one united group, each member still has a lot of freedom and control over what to do, which is a huge factor to the growth of The Backroom Colonists, as it is easy to join, and only executes loose authority over its outposts. There is no direct estimate of the total population, since their members are spread through many outposts on different levels, with many joining and leaving.

The current capital of The Backroom Colonists is on Level -599 and has major outposts on level 5, Level 7, and Level 8. It should be noted that The Backroom Colonists used to be even more powerful; however, due to conflicts and reformations, The Backroom Colonists weakened significantly. Many outposts and bases were scaled back, abandoned, or left out for other groups to claim. Groups have left The Backroom Colonists and disappeared into obscurity. Since then, the Backroom Colonists has spread out, participated in many conflicts and has survived through many periods of the Backrooms.

## Political Status

The Backroom Colonists are friendly to normal wanderers, and is willingly to give a certain amount of supplements and medical assistance to all friendly wanderers. The group is also a more flexible group to join compared to groups such as the M.E.G and the Kauer Research organization; unlike the M.E.G and many other groups, who will give the wanderer a direct position whenever they join, The Backroom Colonists allow wanderers simply gather resources and live under the protection of their outpost, instead of becoming researchers or security personnel (Positions are usually volunteered). The Backroom Colonists have good relations with several groups and are neutral with most other groups such as the M.E.G. However, while not directly opposing the United Backrooms Authority, they are wary against them and tend to avoid contact, as they have tricky history with that faction.

## Hierarchy

### Structure

The leading authority of The Backroom Colonists is the minister, elected every four **level -599 years**. Directly below the minister are the four heads of departments (sometimes referred to as the Overseers), each responsible for the security, regulation, development, and exploration of The Backroom Colonists as a whole, while overseeing outposts and providing support and regulation.

Outpost leaders are the authority below the heads of departments and holds the leadership of that specific outpost. The Backroom Colonists are very flexible with what an outpost leader has to do. Aside from abiding by human rights and a few other policies, the outpost can operate independently, since the heads of departments will not interfere unless absolutely necessary.

### Decision making

While each outpost may have different ways of regulation, small decisions from specific outposts are usually decided together as a team, although the leader would hold more influence. However, big decisions will be submitted to the minister/heads of departments and will be discussed with the majority as a whole.

### Departments

#### Department of Security

Covers the military and political affairs, being staffed mostly by security personnel, ambassadors, and tacticians. The current head of this department is Darren Nakamura.

#### Department of Regulation

Covers secretaries, confidants and small registered groups that control entities, secure and form new outposts. The current head of this department is Lee Hollingsworth.

#### Department of Development

Covers development of the outposts in terms of economy, and runs owned businesses of the Backroom Colonists. Also they can grant funds to certain outposts for development. The current head of this department is Mitchel Texter.

#### Department of Exploration

Covers explorer groups who discover new levels. Currently they are trying to find any lost Backroom Colonists personnel from the prior to the reformation or any outposts that was abandoned. The current head of this department is Laurel Yew.

## Anthem

After losing the great war, minister Izumo Kodona issued an anthem to be composed to signal a new beginning for the colony. Composed by the great Vincent Maxfield Frank (fondly nicknamed Vini by the colonists), the song was named the Children of Reality, as it reminds the wanderers that despite all the hardships they went through, uniting together and having each other's backs is what truly matters.

## Accomplishments

### Greek Classification

As the M.E.G.’s classification system for levels was being rolled out, the Backroom Colonists found that there were 22 levels which had not been classified yet. Due to fears that if they were assigned a number the lack of communication between the Backroom Colonists and the M.E.G. would mean that another level had already been assigned to that spot, they were given Greek letters. This naming system was later made permanent.

* Level Δ
* Delta mall
* Level τ
* Level φ

### Quantum messaging

Quantum messaging was a highly confidential technology pivotal to the development and expansion of the colonists. Reversed engineered on level 15, the colonists managed to learn of quantum tunneling and create a device that enables inter-dimensional communication. The date of creation is unknown, as there is no definitive way of tracking time in the backrooms. However, it is reasonable to say that the device was created before the bloodbath of Cluster 1 since the colonists were widely employing the usage of it at the time. There is a central transmitter that connects all other receivers to a secretive base.

* **Grade 1 receiver:** A device given to lower positions, and can only receive messages from the base and send SOS signals. The build is rather simple and cannot be reverse-engineered since the core aspect is from the central transmitter.

* **Grade 2 receiver:** A device for high commands or members on special missions. This receiver can receive messages at a faster pace and also reply to them via text or real-time voice connection. There are intricate workings inside a grade 2 receiver can the colonists are wary of employing it due to its high value and technological information.

* **Grade 3 receiver:** Also known as top grade receiver, this messaging device is barely employed. It is rumored that it has a much stronger connection than the other two receivers and can take/project holographic images. The only confirmed times the colonists used this device were in the terraforming of level 94 and the messaging attempts from level 514.

## Outposts

### Capital

**[Level -599] - [Base Arche] -** The Colonists used the naturally generated treehouses as their home and adapted to the environment, and typically store resources in caves nearby. There are around a thousand security personnel and twice as many other members, estimating three thousand members total, by far the biggest colony of The Backroom Colonists.

### Major Bases

**[Level 1] - [Base Flickers]** - This is the secondary base at the level controlled by this group, and is used to guide people, being mostly a stop off point now a days. It was named due to the level's flickering lights.

**[Level 5] - [Base Deimos | Base Phobos]** - The Backroom Pioneers (the previous version of The Backroom Colonists) gained an outpost on level 5 after the colonization of Camp Amber. The colony endured throughout the great war, the collapse, and the reformation of the Backroom Colonists and still is a pivotal outpost of the faction today. The settlement documented most of the level 5's environment and is currently responsible for reporting additional properties to the Database. The colony was made up of two bases, base Deimos and base Phobos. Base Deimos is responsible for security, while base Phobos is responsible for research. Both bases are located near each other for convenience.

**[Level 6.1] - [Base Epsilon]** -The Backroom Colonists embrace a relatively large outpost on **Level 6.1**. The outpost consistently exports supplies from the level to other outposts.

**[Level 7] - [Base Alpha]** - A research outpost owned by the group in question that is relatively big. It has currently 40 people guarding it, and it has similar properties to The Floaters previous outpost. While it is pretty recreational, they have sea related equipment to do experiments on the ocean.

**[Level 8] - [Base Omega]** - The outpost contains around 37 guards, and is mostly for transportation. It is the final level of The Main Nine colonized by the group, and they will help wanderers leave the level.

**[Level 23] - [Site Factory]** - Located on the higher floors of Level 23, approximately 100 miles north. A large room, which houses around 14 members. Stocks up on supplies, such as food, first-aid kits, and gas masks, guarded.

**[Level 153] - [Vintage Sect]** - The main base at the level controlled by this group, it was still relatively easy to reach during the beginnings of the group, and has kept a main base through The Hub. Its name came after the level being a vintage office.

**[Level 514] - [Base Morpheus]** - A lost sub-division of the Pioneers during the bloodbath of cluster 1, landing in level 514, then abandoned due to the subsequent collapse of The Backroom Pioneers (Previous alliteration of The Backroom Colonists). However, Base Morpheus regained contact after the reformation of The Backroom Colonists and has remained an outpost of the reformed group. There is no further information, as the Colonists have trouble contacting the outpost despite harnessing quantum siphoning. There hasn't been any contact with the outpost for a long time. Some even rumor that the outpost is now gone.
