Cylinder of Time

The Cylinder of Time was a device in the Cylinder of Time dimension. It was a Tipler cylinder, capable of travelling to the future, and the past, be it localized or for the whole universe. It was under the authority of the Administrator.

In 3650, the Cylinder of Time is destroyed by the Third Briserian Federation and by Commandery forces in a joint assault against the Administrator. This caused time to be truly unalterable.

## Destruction

More info in the *joint assault of 3980**.*

The Cylinder of Time was accidentally destroyed by the joint forces. A task force has successfully gained access to the systems of the Cylinder. They discovered that the Cylinder could indeed revert the Dimensional Anchoring, but a nuclear missile was inadvertently fired at the Cylinder. The task force evacuated, but the Cylinder of Time was heavily damaged, and exploded shortly after.

The Cylinder of Time was a space station of unknown origins, within a separate dimension. It is also in the epicentre of the multiverse. The Cylinder of Time's design and capabilities correlate to the Tipler Cylinder. The capabilities of the Cylinder of Time is to regulate the flow of time in the universes. It was capable of sending matter, or even whole universes in the future, or in the past.

## Origins and design

The Cylinder of Time's origin is unclear. It is composed of an unknown, near-perfect alloy of various Nex Reginium elements and large amount of palladium, platinum, osmium and titanium were found. It is also composed of a computer-like system within the walls of the station, believed to have formed the artificial intelligence tasked with managing the station.

The Cylinder of Time is a unique space station. A torus-like structure is located at the middle of the station. Two beams stretches from the torus-like structure. Two "eternal" portals are also located farther north and south of the station, whereas the beams go through, effectively creating a seemingly infinite cylinder, correlating to the Tipler Cylinder theory. How the station was built is a complete mystery, and how those portals and beams behave is also unknown.
Earth during the First Apocalypse

Earth, the cradle of mankind, was struck by the then (only) Apocalypse, that was remembered as the First, during and after the Second Apocalypse. Contrary to other wars and conflicts that erupted on Earth, the First Apocalypse is unique in terms of length (not even a day), and the near total devastation and destruction throughout Earth.

## Timeline of the Apocalypse

### During the Apocalypse (T: 0.00)

As the Procyon warheads detonates on the surface of Earth, they leave a massive crater of about 30 - 50 km in diameter. A massive flash, and a fireball engulfing the crater, and expanding until vanishing, and leaving the shockwaves and earthquakes devastate the Earth. The flash, not being an EMP, did not damage any electronic devices, but the nuclear war (cut short by the devastation of the Procyon warheads) did some damages, albeit limited, they still contributed to the creation of the ashen sky, heightened radiation.

### Devastation (hours and days after)

The debris rains continuously on Earth, and the firestorms caused by both Procyon warheads and nuclear ones, ravages through the forests of Earth. The landscape of Earth is extremely damaged, with cities literally ripped apart, or by underneath, rivers of magma and volcanoes erupts throughout Earth.
The Outsiders Dreadnought

"The Outsiders Dreadnought" is the name given to a colossal space-fairing vehicles that got carried into the A02 universe, during the Second Apocalypse.

Shortly after its sudden appearance above Altaïr, the dreadnought seemingly "jumped" outside of the A02.

IDS Agents that witnessed the jump noted that, while the Dimensional Anchoring prevents any way of FTL Gliding, this dreadnought was however, presumably able to leave the universe. This event gave crucial insights in a new way of travelling faster than light; jumping.

The dreadnought, was never to be seen again, even thousands of years following its appearance.
A-network

A-network was the designation of the various communications and designation protocols for IDS-related bases, such as space stations, planetary outposts or research facilities. It is both a set of designation norms to clearly identify the bases, and a set of communication protocols for the bases to communicate securely between them.

The A-network was under the direction of MSAI for its period of use. The set of protocols were eventually modified after the Second Apocalypse rendered Trans-dimensional communication devices (UCDC) and current Faster-than-Light technologies unusable.

## Known networked stations

* Alpha Base
* Beta Base
LAK

**LAK Orbital Works** was a Briserian Federation mega corporation that operated since the 7800s up to the 8018. In 8018, LAK merged with MAK, the second largest arms and space vehicles manufacturer, and formed the largest mega corporation in the Known Worlds, surpassing GpK.

LAK is the main manufacturer for space stations, space equipment such as Jump Relays, atmospheric reducers and power plants. In the 8000s, LAK was one of the largest mega corporation in the Known Worlds, and employed more than 150 million employees throughout the Known Worlds.
Jupiter-class Dreadnought

The Jupiter-class Dreadnought is a unique dreadnought used as a flagship for the Second Briserian Federation during the Second Civil War. It is one of the largest ship built by the Federation.

The Jupiter was destroyed during the Siege of New Altair; it collided with the Vulcan-class Dreadnought, the flagship of the Commandery.

The ship had two landing pads at each side of the ship, and a prototype laser cannon spanning the ship at the center; it gave the ship the "trident" surname.
Eagle Group

Eagle Group is reportedly a Private Military Company, or territory organization operating alongside the Unknown Aggressors. They were first sighted during the Siege of Paris (8025), and were the manners of the Unknown Mech that ravaged the IDS Paris Compound, before being ultimately destroyed by IDS.

## Origins

The Quadripartite Earth Emergency Command (QEEC), actively investigates into the origins of the Eagle Group.

Battle of Kulekross Peninsula

The Battle of Kulekross Peninsula, is a massive on-going conflict on Planet Stozha, in the Kulekross Peninsula, hosting the five Kulekross cities (Kulekross-1 to Kulekross-5), famous for being the "industrial heart of the industrial heart".

## Phases

### Before the Battle

Originally, the Colonial Defense Forces - Division Stozha: its attached Naval Group n°1, 1st Special Operation Forces, and Northern Stozha Battalion were sent to dissipate an emerging civil unrest in Kulekross-3, the port and most important city of the Kulekross Peninsula.

### End:

Q1 (1/4) 8025 - continued into the battle of the peninsula

### Place:

Kulekross Peninsula, city of Kulekross-3, Planet Stozha

### Result:

Worsening of the situation in the peninsula.
 Operation fails catastrophically and intensifies into the **Battle of the Kulekross Peninsula**
The Duchy

The Duchy was a unrecognized state that took control of 18 worlds in less than a year. It was a theocracy formed under the Duchy's religion, a twisted amalgam between the three Abrahamic faiths. The Duchy is responsible for multiple war crimes.

## History

The Duchy was at the beginning a loose confederation of religious fanatics, founded on a TCAG colony. Benefiting from the TCAG extreme instability, and poverty, it was easy to propagate the Duchy's belief. Millions of citizens converted to the Duchy's religion, in spite of the governments' efforts to reduce religious beliefs from growing.

The Duchy settled on a colony.

## Aftermath

The Duchy was officially disbanded, the leaders judged and executed, the armament confiscated. The religion was then officially recognized (not the state), and to this day (8020) remains a major religion.
MSAI Expedition of 6858

The MSAI Expedition of 6858 was an expedition sent by the United Galactic Federation, to recover a powerful AI, known as MSAI, lost since the 3rd millennia.

## Composition

The "Fleet", was comprised of 13 warships, mainly OB-13-class cruiser, and 26 large civilian vessels.

## Mutiny

After more than a year of unfruitful exploration throughout the edge of the galaxy, roughly half of the fleet mutinited. Deciding that they shouldn't continue looking, and accept the fact that they are stranded at the edge of the galaxy, the Mutinied fleet fired and neutralized a sizeable number of the Fleet, the Mutinied Fleet forced the rest of the fleet to make a choice: try to go back to the Known Worlds, or stay.
UCDC

The UCDC refers to all communication technologies using Dimensionics to transfer information. It was developed shortly after the Second Apocalypse to replace old communication means, redered unusuable after the Dimensional Anchoring.

## Design

The UCDC generates a small trans-dimensional portal, usually 5mm^3 large, to a gateway universe. Then it opens a portal to another UCDC, through a request on the Centralized Trans-Dimensional Communication Supercomputer (CTDCS).

The UCDC has the capacity of opening two communication portals simultaneously; with one permanently opened to the CTDCS.
U.S. Army Remnants

The U.S. Army Remnants are the last representatives of the U.S. Army after the First Apocalypse.

## Post-Apocalypse History

Shortly after the First Apocalypse, a few, sheltered navy ships, notably the USS *George Washington**,* and scattered National Guards survivors across the North American Continent, joined their forces to attempt to retake the United States.
Breznican Skirmish (8025)

In Q2 8025, one of the Outer States' world was attacked by the Kingdom of Breznica, in an attempt to probe the Outer States' defense and readiness against an attack of the Human Confederacy.

## Order of battle and engagement

A small force comprising of multiple cruisers and landing parties arrived in the colony's high orbit. Before landing, the planet's defense immediately engaged the vessels, causing multiple losses and brief disorganization amongst Breznican troops. As of Q2 8025, no Breznican landing parties have made planetfall.

## Conflict between the Confederacy and the Outer States

The Outer States, being a buffer state between the untamed regions of the Way of Sadness and the Unknown Worlds, is made to appear as the pinnacle of the UGF. Deliberately appearing weak, it allows the UGF to conduct special intelligence operations around the Outer States, with the commanders and leaders of the nation ignoring this fact.

The Human Confederacy allegedly wishes to retake Earth, and has its coordinates, however, they had met multiple times massive fleets guarding the closest systems to the Unknown Worlds, nicknamed the Pillars of Hercules.

The Kingdom of Breznica, the leader of the Confederacy, still wishes to probe the current Outer States' defenses, in hopes of invading and annexing the UGF territories. However, they are also unaware of the current state of the Known Worlds, with the current Collapse of 8024 and subsequent reemergence of the UGF. Despite having millennia to grow undisturbed, the Confederacy is leagues behind the UGF and the entirety of the Known Worlds' military might.
Canon:Outer States

The Outer States is a vassal state of the Federated Briserian States. The Outer States are a federation of 5 colonies located in the Way of Sadness, a route an expedition took to look for MSAI. It is happening parallel to the Canon: Great War of 8021.

## Outer States

A *sui generis* nation. The "last hope for the Briserian people". The first and only legal violation of the Outer Worlds Colonization Policy. 53,000 colonists, in the middle of uncharted territory.

## Outsiders

The descendants of the mutineers from the Expedition of 6585. After surviving, developing and prospering for more than 1,400 years, they discovered again their ancestors. Extremely xenophobic and isolationists, they launched a crusade against the Outer States.

## Events

* MSAI Expedition of 6858, the doomed expedition that charted the Way of Sadness.
* MSAI, the AI that blind jumped at the end of the galaxy.
* Outer War, the conflict opposing the Outsiders and the Outer States.

## Locations

* Planet Skyros, the capital of the Outsiders, and the first colonized by them. A desolate, barren and hostile planet.
* Abandoned System, a system with unknown history, that once belonged to the Outsiders.
* Way of Sadness, a charted trail, cursed by the hundreds of humans dead while searching for MSAI.

## Nations and conflicts

* Outer States, supposedly the last hope of the Briserian people.
* Outsiders, the descendants of the mutineers from the Expedition of 6858. Developed a society of its own, far beyond where mankind had expanded before.

### Following States

Briserian Federation

The Briserian Republic was the governing entity of the Briserian Peninsula and *de facto* only nation surviving the First Apocalypse. It has been founded in 2009 shortly after the First Apocalypse obliterated Earth.

The Briserian Republic is a *de facto* autocracy with a single Man, with the title of Master holding executive, legislative and judicial powers over the country.

## History

The Briserian Republic was founded around 1925, when the Great Exodus took place. IDS Agents settled on a small artificial island called San island. This island possess a special machine: capable of creating and modifying the terrestrial environment. Shortly after, the Briserian Peninsula was creating in the South Atlantic Ocean, at an equal distance from Africa, Antarctica and South America.
Free Zone

The Free Zone (FZ) is a faction founded in 8022 by rebels, refugees and intellectuals during the [War name]. It was founded by undercover rebellious IDS agents.

The FZ is hostile to all but the Confederation of Independent Worlds which whom it maintain cordial relations.

After the FZ recovers MSAI-X (the fusion between X, the MSAI-like AI developed by the CMWR), and MSAI, the CMWR, the BrF *and* the GSC actively track down the FZ tirelessly, especially by the 443 Super-Dreadnought

## 443 Chase

For a whole month, the 443 tracks the FZ. Thanks to its very extensive arsenal, top-notch guidance computers and quasi-reactionless RCS engines, the 443 was ideal to track the FZ. In Q4 8022, the 443 ambushes the FZ and heavily damage the FZ Asteroid Base.
Administrator's Incursion

the Second Apocalypse

Loss of FTL Glide technology

Known Worlds thrown into chaos

The Administrator's Incursion was a short but tragic conflict that happened in the year 398X, a few days after the appearance of the Administrator.

The end of Siege of New Altair marked the disappearance of the Unlimited Energy Generator, the artifact prized by the Administrator. The Administrator then opened a portal to the New Altair System, hoping to find it. Dozens of vessels were sent throughout the System, seeking the UEG.

In orbit around New Altair's star, the Administrator placed multiple dreadnoughts (3), hoping to deter the Joint Alliance.

## Aftermath

The Administrator was exasperated by the resilience shown by the JA, and decided that the UEG was a mistake, an exploit used by the Briserians.

The Administrator decided to "close down" the Universe, by throwing it into chaos. He started the Second Apocalypse, prohibiting the Briserians from using the FTL Glide technology, severing the Known Worlds.
Planet Alexandria

Planet Alexandria, or Planet X68n3 is a inhabitable planet located in an unnamed star system, within the M51 Universe. It is the third planet in the star system and is located within the habitable zone of its star.

Planet Alexandria is described as an endless desert, with barren oceans, with temperatures from +10°C to 75°C. Large amount of algae, more specifically, oxygen-producing algae were discovered in the oceans, which provides a breathable atmosphere. The Proto-Schtalags is also another extraterrestrial species, which were engineered into the Schtalags. Other than that, no other species were discovered, rendering this planet quite barren and "empty". Clouds are almost non-existent, and the water cycle does not exist.

Planet Alexandria was orbited by multiple artificial satellites and habitats such as Pharos Station and Cairo Station.

In the year 97 ATE, Planet Alexandria is officially abandoned by the Prometheans. The salvaged ruins of Alexandria and the abandoned Starlight City were left behind as a silent and secret reminder of what happened. The coordinates of Planet Alexandria and its star system were classified and expunged from all navigation maps, a no-fly zone large of 1,000 ly^3 was set up, covering at least 15,000,000 star systems.

However, a network of satellites across the galaxy in which Planet Alexandria is located, links the Promethea System - thus the Promethean Empire, to Planet Alexandria. It is explained by a contingency plan for humanity in case a catastrophe was to happen to the Prometheans. A group of 500 humans were cryogenized for "eternity".
8025 Confederal skirmishes

In Q4 8025, multiple Confederal vanguard groups operated within Federal territory and engaged Federal forces. Skirmishes are, as of Q4 8025, ongoing, and at least 4 skirmishes happened.

## Order of battle

### Confederal Armed Forces

* At least 15 Type-35 Dreadnought
* At least 3 Civilian Super-transports
* Numerous heavy bombers

### Federal Armed Forces

* At least 10 Halcyon-III Dreadnoughts
* At least 4 Halcyon-IV Carriers
* At least 3 Citadel Block III-class Battleships
* Numerous MAK 22, MAK 33 fighters and fighter-bombers

## Aftermath

The relations between the Confederacy and the Briserian-Prometheans of the Known Worlds were already abysmal, but these unwarranted skirmishes shows a desire from the Confederation to test the defenses of the Briserian Known Worlds, and enjoy the relative chaos caused by the collapses and a relative constant state of war throughout the Colonies.
K-Type Intelligence

With the greater adoption of AI, or a firm stance against them, many of the universe's civilizations will begin rapidly developing very particular breeds of said intelligences, K-Types among them- however, largely only seeing wider use by the Magdoran Conglomerate.

K-Type Self-Replicating Intelligences are a special class of artificial intelligence distinguished by their ability to rampantly and rapidly "grow" their neural nets within a given database, in particular superseding typical limitations on what databases and how much space they are permitted to occupy. Without proper directives, K-Type intelligences are known to occupy entire databanks for no reason other than the space being, to it, available- and as a result of how easy they can be to spread, with even portable instances able to grow into a fully-fledged intelligence with ease, K-Type intelligences are often referred to as *viral intelligences*. Thankfully however, very few truly viral K-Type intelligences have been known to exist, and many of those that did were swiftly detained before they could cause catastrophic damage- if not intentionally used for such.

For the Conglomerate, K-Type intelligences saw widespread use for espionage and Titan artefact gathering, as they can be injected into their targets far more easily than more specialized intelligences, and are often far better at adapting to unexpected hardware and countermeasures.
NUSA-UGF War

### Result:

Destruction of The Ring, execution of all remaining NUSA/Lazarus Plan operativesPermanant lockdown of the New Washington System and deletion of the star system from all navigational systems

The NUSA-UGF War was a short conflict between the NUSA and the United Galactic Federation, lasting less than a week.

## Background

The NUSA was a state formed by a chapter of the Lazarus Plan outside of the Known Worlds, in order to develop, grow and evolve outside of the overwhelming influence of the Briserians.

This chapter left the Known Worlds sometimes between 7300 and 7500, and settled on an planet extremely similar to Earth.

After more than 200 years, the population grew exponentially, and an estimate of 200 million humans lived on Planet New Washington.

After the initial discovery by MSAI, IDS reconnaissance teams were sent to the New Washington System. They discovered The Ring, an unfinished megastructure, more specifically, a matrioshka brain orbiting around a star. They also discovered Planet New Washington, abandoned and in ruins. Analysis shows that the planet was bombed from orbit with nuclear weaponry.

## The war

A small fleet belonging to the UGF was sent to the New Washington System. Aided with MSAI and IDS, they boarded the Ring.

The defense drones and weapon platforms began firing on the UGF fleet and depressurized multiple rooms inside the Ring, killing UGF operatives.

## Aftermath

After gathering various schematics and blueprints inside the Ring, it was deorbited and all remaining dwellers were killed. Another UGF fleet, dedicated to orbital bombardment was sent to bombard Planet New Washington to destroy any remaining shelters, bunkers or settlements, to avoid a resurgence of another Lazarus Plan chapter outside of the Known Worlds.

The New Washington System was deleted from all navigational systems

New Altair

New Altair is a major colony, located about 16 ly away from the Solar System. It was discovered in 2218 by a team of scientists affiliated with IDS. In 2295, the first colonization vehicle is constructed in orbit by the New Briserian Federation; the BNV Adonis, and has been launched in 2303.

The Planet New Altair is orbiting the Star Altair, which was the namesake of the Briserians' capital on Earth, Altair.

## Colonization history

In 2469, the Adonis arrives at New Altair.

## Physical characteristics

When the Adonis arrived at New Altair, the planet was composed of about 78% of liquid water; and the atmosphere, extremely similar to the Earth's atmosphere. However, only unicellular organisms were found, especially algae in the vast Neo-Altairian oceans, that oxygenates the atmosphere.

## Third millennia

In the third millennia, after the Second Apocalypse, New Altair became the *de facto* capital of the Commandery.
Crater Station

The Crater Station is a highly secret, IDS research base in the American Crater, created by the detonation of a Dimensional Warhead.

## Roles

The Crater Station goal is to monitor the ground zero, and discover dimensional phenomenons linked to the detonation of a dimensional warhead.

## Notable discoveries

The Crater Station notably developed the Unlimited Energy Generator.
Earth (8020s)

### Location

North America, Briserian Peninsula, Northern Europe, Northern Africa, Port Salvation, Central Africa, Ancient Korea.

### Capital

Altair

Earth is the cradle of humanity, the third planet in the Sol System. In the 8020s, Earth was divided in 25/75 for the Empire and the Federation respectively - nicknamed Imperial and Federal Earth.

## Imperial Earth

### Location

Central America, Florida, Port Solace, Middle East, Ancient Somalia, Eastern China, Ancient Japan

### Capital

Officially Jerusalem (non-existent, obliterated), Middle East Imperial Governorate
De facto, Port Solace

### Following States

United Galactic Federation

"Imperial Earth" was the common designation for Earth territories under the control of the Holy Briserian Empire. During the Great War of 8021, a unlimited truce was brokered in exchange for 25% of Earth. As of 8025, all Imperial direction were either taken by the UGF, or retreated.

The capital was officially Jerusalem (non-existent due to the firebombing of the region), considered the capital for all previous religions, and currently for the The Duchy. Imperial Earth is divided into governorates.

### Imperial Governorates

* Middle East Governorate
* China and Japan Governorate
* East Africa Governorate
* South European Governorate
* Port Solace Governorate
* American Governorate

## Federal Earth

"Federal Earth" was the common designation for the Federal District of Earth after the brokerage of the truce between the Empire and the Federation. As of 8025, all Federal direction were either taken by the UGF, or retreated.

It retains the original division of Earth by the F.D. Earth, into superregions.

## Collapse of 8024

As the United Galactic Federation was revived, Earth quickly fell into the hands of the UGF. With an overwhelming majority of both space and ground forces, the UGF conquered Earth with virtually no casaualty. The F.D. Earth was integrated into the United Galactic Federation, and is now the official seat of government for the UGF.

Both Imperial and Federal territories were taken back by the UGF.
Colonial Defense Forces

A **Colonial Defense Forces** is the **military** of virtually every colony in the Known Worlds. Usually comprised of an Atmospheric Force, a Space Force, a Navy and an Army, and sometimes a gendarmerie. They are one of the only legal ways (Articles of Colonization) for a colony to have a military and to actively maintain one. A Colonial Governor, or Governor, is the chief of military in virtually all colonies.

Having a **CDF** also allows the colony to build shipyards, either planet-side or orbital-side. They may also possess and build nuclear weaponry, depending on the population of the planet and the nearby threats (example: a lone colony enclaved in the middle of another colony).

## Regulations

If a colony is part of a state, a federation or else, such as the Commonwealth of the Milky Way Republic, they are, most likely, obligated to deploy, hand over or obey orders from the CMWR military.
Battle in an uncharted system (8025)

The battle in an uncharted system, or simply put, the Republican's first Pyrrhic victory against the Stratocracy, was a battle deep inside uncharted systems within the known worlds. It was a notable event due to the catastrophically high casualties for both sides, fighting what was essentially nowhere.

## The battle

The BNS Altair, leading a portion of the First Fleet, jumped into the vicinity of the Allied fleet, after intelligence gathering of ongoing expeditions revealed to be correct.

## Post-battle

This battle highlighted the exhaustion from both sides. The loss of both sides' flagships also highlighted their weaknesses

TBW

## Notable casualties

Underground Bunker

The Underground Bunker was a military facility built in the B02 universe, that served as a hideout for government officials and military personnel. It was transported into the A02 universe during the Second Apocalypse and became the Third Briserian Federation headquarters.

Shortly after the end of the Second Apocalypse, and the end of the ceasefire between the Commandery and Federal forces, the Underground Bunker was destroyed by a thermonuclear bomb, detonated by unknown separatists.

## Before the Second Apocalypse

The Underground Bunker, started being built in both the A02 and B02 universes, but only the B02 facility finished in time.
The Duchy of Briseria

The Duchy of Briseria, or more simply, the Duchy, is the official name of the Known Worlds' major religion. Founded at the end of the 7th millennia, the Duchy quickly amassed a large number of followers throughout the Known Worlds, mainly in the poorer regions of the galaxy.

The Duchy is the largest religion in the Known Worlds, with estimates being between 15 - 25 billion followers throughout the Known Worlds, with a majority of followers being in the Galactic South East region, where the TCAG, the poorest nation in the Known Worlds, lies.

The Duchy quickly became vilified by all nations in the Known Worlds, especially by the Briserian Federation, following the nuclear holocaust due to the war between the Briserian Federation and the First Duchy, and has resulted in billions of civilian casualties, and due to the fact that the Duchy actively tries to seize Earth, mainly through acts of terrorism, and asymmetrical warfare on Earth. A large number of fanatical activists and terrorists regularly assault governmental buildings, military bases, and even habitations.

The Duchy headquarters are officially in the Second Duchy's territory, on the Planet Tyre. The Duchy is the official religion of a single nation, the Second Duchy, and is fighting over dominance over the religion with The Duchy Remnants, which holds a more orthodox view than the Second Duchy.

## History

As time passed, religions, which had an extremely low impact on the Briserian people, and following the devastation caused by the First and Second Apocalypse, the people that remained were not religious for the majority, and the major religions from the past, slowly degraded, and became more of a historical fact than an actual faith.

At the beginning of the 8th millennium, a new religion rose, from the principles left by the Ancient Religions. An amalgamate was created and the Duchy was born.

## Spread

The Duchy, was originally from an unnamed colony, part of the Three Colonies Autonomous Government. Quickly, through trade and word-of-mouth, a sizable interplanetary community was founded. Shortly after, the first convention between followers took place at Earth, being a holy place in the Duchy's writings.

## The religion

The Duchy, is a monotheistic religion, following the same god as the Ancient Religions. Customs are extremely similar to these Ancient Religions, but rather than following their creeds and sacred texts, the Duchy follows its own sacred text,

The Duchy's main goal is to unite Humanity under a single banner, the banner of Briseria. However, the objective of the Duchy is to seize Earth and found a new, pious state in this holy territory.
Needle Engine

The Needle Engine is a newly discovered propulsion technology, developed by XE-4 (IDS) in 8020, for its new [something else]-class Super Dreadnought.

The Needle Engine is the first propulsion technology to successfully exceed the speed of light in the universe. Details about the event were classified and data collected either destroyed or hidden.

The Reckoning-class Dreadnought **Block 2** is outfitted with an experimental, relativity-compliant Needle Engine, used as a way to quickly accelerate at relativistic speeds. The Block 3 will benefit from the Ramiel-class advances in the Needle Engine technology.
Apollo V Republic-Holy Briserian Republic War

The Apollo V Republic-Holy Briserian Republic War, or the Northern War, is a conflict that stemmed from the Corinthian counter-offensive, and the renewed military strength of the Republic of the Apollo V system and its bitterness against the Holy Briserian Empire. The Northern War has been launched by the Republic against the Holy Briserian Empire in hopes to liberate the Galactic North from the already-weakened and exhausted Holy Briserian Empire.
Alexandria

100 - 500 (50 ATE)

Pharos Station

Cairo Station

"Alexandria", or designated as IDS/EDS-68-1 (Extradimensional Site 68-1), is a large colony located on Planet X68n3. It is a major extradimensional outpost which evolved into a large city thanks to a sudden increase in funding by IDS.

## Design

Alexandria is a large, circular, suspended city on a large pillar linking the city to the ground. The concept was built to avoid interaction between the Proto-Schtalags and E68 staff and inhabitants. The city is also outfitted with large engines, capable of making the city airborne temporarily.

The city's edge is outfitted with circular railways, facilitating the transport of materials, food or supplies across the city. A parallel railway features 4 artillery pieces capable of bombarding around the city with a range of 100 km.

## Before the End

Alexandria, or IDS/EDS-68-1, or just E68, started as a large extradimensional outpost, as a foothold inside another universe. The discovery of both the first alien species, and extradimensional species was made through E68.

These discoveries had for impact a 600% increase in budget, allowing them to build a true city, instead of just an outpost.

## During the End

During the End, the city of Alexandria switched of primary objective, which was scientific research. The city became what was thought, as the last bastion of humankind.
Human Confederation

The **Human Confederation**, also known as the Confederation, is a human confederation located deep within the Way of Sadness, inhabited by the Outsiders. It is comprised of multiple states, with the only one know (as of Q1 8025), being the Kingdom of Breznica. It is generally accepted that the human confederation is multiple times larger than the entire Known Worlds assembled, with 1,486 years to develop, enlarge and prepare in relative safety.

## Politics

There is no flag for the Confederacy, but rather a single coat of arms, representing the five member states of the Confederation. Each star is a cube, with each edge of a cube linked with the central one, supposedly representing the Kingdom of Breznica, who presumably founded or helped found the Confederation, after years of civil war, decadence, and overall discord.

Not much is known about the Confederacy's politics, except that it is most probably a democratic or pseudo-democratic system. For the Outsiders to have maintained stability for thousands of years, with no registered collapse of civilization, the Confederacy's machinery of government must be very efficient.

### Member states of the Confederacy

* Kingdom of Breznica, the only known member outside of the Confederacy, discovered by the Eagles of Rebellion and IDS (8th millennium).

## Territory

The Confederacy spans multiple star systems, with mutliple inhabitable, inhabited colonies. A complex trade system between the colonies developed, akin to the one from Ancient Earth, and to the Known Worlds as well.

## Confederal-UGF relations

The relations are cold between the nations of the United Galactic Federation and the Human Confederation. Multiple conflicts, and skirmishes occured between the two. The newly-founded nation of the Outer States, which was originally made as a backup plan for the Federated Briserian States, came under heavy fire by the Confederation's Armed Forces, more specifically, the Breznican Armed Forces, spearheading the conflict. The reasons for the hostility is unknown, however, it can be assumed that they desire to either retake Earth, "pacify" the Known Worlds, or simply protect themselves from this, obviously illegal, colonization effort outside the Known Worlds.

The recent Breznican Skirmish against the Outer States shows that the Outsiders continue their assault, and are now testing the defenses of the Outer States.

## Internal politics

The Kingdom of Breznica is also spearheading a fight against rebels, who, according to IDS intelligence, managed to take more than half of an entire colony, albeit the poorest, and least equipped of all. The combat continues as of 8025.
First Fleet (Stratocracy, 8025)

The First Fleet is one of the major fleets of the Briserian Stratocracy Armed Forces. It is the most advanced fleet and most numerous. Previously tasked with the use of experimental design, and the defense of the core systems of the Stratocracy, such as Planet New Dimsk-IV, the capital of the Stratocracy, the First Fleet's main objective drastically shifted.

## During the Great War

During the Great War of 8021, the First Fleet was tasked with the defense of the core systems, protecting the Stratocracy's integrity from within. They were also tasked with the use and research of experimental designs, such as the BNS Altair. Their forces was at the time (and still is) extremely classified and thus, unknown.

## Involvement during the Collapse of 8024

The First Fleet was then used by the Stratocracy's Military Junta, that has been put on-hold indefinitely and replaced by a semi-presidential system. The First Fleet successfully deposited the President and its loyalists, and restored order in most of the Stratocracy's territory, driving most of the Task Force Beta and other revolutionaries out of the Stratocracy, and within the NCIZ 2.

## Known Equipment

### BNS Altair

The BNS Altair is the flagship of the First Fleet, and since 8025, the flagship of the Stratocracy. Originally an odd design from the Stratocracy's bureaus, the BNS Altair is a heavily-modified Halcyon-IV dreadnought, upscaled by 250%, and holding four times the amount of anti-ship batteries, and 200 more fighters and small crafts. It is currently on of the largest warships ever deployed in history.
Orbital Bombardment Platform

The Orbital Bombardment Platform was an unnamed satellite used to launch Dimensional Warheads from orbit. It was meant to be a successor of the Procyon Missiles, since the platform is closer to Earth (LEO), than the Moon.

The construction was finished in 2008, and was launched in 2009, a mere month before the First Apocalypse happened. The platform had a single warhead installed. It was used during the Battle of London against the Type 807 mech. After the Battle of London, the platform was de-orbited.
IDS Paris Compound

IDS Paris Compound was one of IDS (8th millennium)'s main compound, or headquarters. It was located in the middle of Paris, the capital of the European superregion. It was destroyed while defending Paris during the Siege of Paris in 8025. The Triple-S however, remains operational.

## Design and features

The IDS Paris Compound was distinct from other IDS Compounds as it functioned as an academy for future IDS agents and cadets as well.

### Subterranean Security System

The "Triple-S", or Subterranean Security System, is linked to the IDS Paris Compound, as it hosts Paris' main railgun defense system, and manages Paris' entire defense grid, both anti-air and ground defense.

The Triple-S is a subterranean complex located under Paris, and function as a bunker, warehouse, prison, and metro system. It is sometimes referred as the Underground Paris. Most of the inhabitants are aware of its existence, but IDS denied its very existence.

#### Railgun

The IDS Paris Compound's garden was modular, and hosted the main Paris' railgun, and served as a last resort defense system against potential aggressors that succeeded in breaching Paris' defenses. It was used during the Siege of Paris, and managed to destroy the unknown air cruiser used by the Unknown Aggressors before being targeted and destroyed by cruise missiles.

#### Defense Grid

The IDS Paris Compound managed the extensive Paris defense grid, which included autonomous AA batteries, artillery, both mobile and static missile launcher, and ground-based, hidden anti-armor cannons, distributed throughout Paris. After the destruction of the Compound, the Defense Grid's control was handed over to the Quadripartite Earth Emergency Command (QEEC), in Southern Europe.
Canon: Great War of 8021

In Best articles.

The Great War of 8021 is a major conflict marked with its intensity and the involvement of all nations in the Known Worlds. The Great War mirrors the rise of religious fanaticism, previously fought against by all Briserian governments, rise of poverty and economic krachs.

With the existential threat that poses the Holy Briserian Empire and the Stratocracy to the Briserian Federation and the Commonwealth, an unprecedented coalition that resulted into the Federated Briserian States occurred. This unlikely federation is unique due to the federation of enemies that were previously engaging in war against each other.

## States

* Federated Briserian States, the unlikely federation between former enemies to face the Stratocracy and the Empire. A ragtag alliance with high-intensity internal conflicts and a catastrophic political stability, yet still capable of facing the Empire.
* Holy Briserian Empire, the result of poverty, low education and religious fanaticism. The largest united Briserian state ever recorded.
* Stratocracy, the nationalistic, xenophobic nation that believes Prometheans are invaders tasked with the mission of destroying the Briserian people. Constantly sieged by Imperial forces and plagued by insurgencies throughout their territory.

### Minor States

* Republic of the Apollo V system, a Republic centered around Planet Corinth. The Republic was firstly annexed by the Stratocracy, then by the Holy Briserian Empire. The Republic managed to overthrow the Empire through the Corinthian counter-offensive.
* Confederation of Independent Worlds, a state that maintained its independence during the War due to their efforts to keep the Duchy's integrity.

## Theatres of the Great War

* Great War of 8021, Stratocracy-Holy Briserian Empire relations
* Great War of 8021, Federation-Holy Briserian Empire relations
* Great War of 8021, Stratocracy-Federation relations

## Locations

Earth - the catalyst for the Great War. Divided between the Federation and the Empire in exchange for a unlimited cease fire between the two.

* Imperial Earth, the imperial-controlled territories of Earth.
* Federal Earth, the federal-controlled territories of Earth.
EHPS

The EHPS, abbreviation of "Earth and Humanity Protection Service" is a major Federal Agency. Founded at the beginning of the 8th millennia, the EHPS was formed as an alternative for IDS which proved to be unreliable at best, and uncontrolled.

The EHPS is formed by sub-agencies.

## EHPS Anthropology Agency

The EHPS-AA is one of the major sub-agencies. Tasked with controlling the "natives", unintegrated humans on Earth, as a result of the Second Apocalypse, these humans, coincided with our Ancient humans, and civilizations. Forced to coexist with the Promethean-Briserians, the natives are to be controlled to avoid conflict spillovers, or worse, genocide.

The EHPS-AA was particularly active during the Great War of 8021, whereas Imperial forces clashed throughout Earth with the Federated Briserian States.
State of Earth

The State of Earth is a state located in the galactic West, within the Briserian Federation. The State of Earth is one of the power wealthiest, most populated and most powerful state within the Briserian Federation, and within the Universal Galactic Federation.

The State of Earth was founded in the 4th millennia, shortly after the Tragedy of Baiur which triggered the massive Reorganization, orchestrated by the Numbers Agency in cooperation with IDS.

## History

The State of Earth was founded in the 4th millennia. It was founded to help facilitate administrative work for residents of Earth, Mars, and other colonized planets and moons. Before, they were treated as a single entity, making administrative work complex.

## Conservation of past historical landmarks

After the First Apocalypse, devastation struck the entire world, damaging permanently most if not all historical landmarks. Thanks to the efforts of the Briserian governments, throughout the millennia before the Second Apocalypse, a large number of historical landmarks were restored throughout the world. The rest was saved and projected holographically at their past location.

After the Second Apocalypse, most of the historical landmarks restored were saved thanks to the dimensional anchoring technology, which allowed them not to be exchanged with B02's Earth.

A separate agency, under the sole authority of the State of Earth, is tasked with restoring, saving and conserve historical entities such as landmarks, writings, etc., produced on Earth, before the Apocalypses.

## State within the State

Earth, is considered as the capital of humankind, since it is the cradle of humanity. Most of the Federal administration is located on Earth, as well as the Mastery (the official residence of the head of state, the Master).

Due to the immense size of the Earth's population and its status as the capital of the Briserian Federation, and the *de jure* capital of the Universal Galactic Federation, the administrative work is different for Earth than for the rest of the planets part of the State of Earth.

## Earth as an independent city-state

Earth, due to its significance as the cradle of all mankind, was regularly the matter of creating an independent state of its own.

In the 8th millennia, this project has been refurbished by the Briserian Republic, backed by IDS/XE4.
