Interstellar Association of Fascists

The **Interstellar Association of Fascists**, or simply the **Fascist Association**, is a legal neo-fascist political movement within the Coalition of Congressional Republics. It is the only fascist political entity to exist on the international level within the Coalition, being established in 2254 by a Hyperian-born veteran of the Coalition Forces Authority, Isak Dòmhnall. It rose to international prominence in the late 2250s and early 2260s as Dòmhnall's campaigns across the reunited CCR drew support from those disenfranchised or otherwise negatively affected by the Corporate Wars, to the point of many political commentators within the Coalition warning of a "second dawn of fascism". Throughout the 2270s and 2280s, the IAF would peak in power and initiate several events such as the first fascists to gain seats on the General Congress of the Coalition and the instigation of the 2278 European riots across the European Federation. Even so, its modern form is much less politically active, only being involved in anti-megacorporation political activities.

The IAF was officiated in 2263 by the Coalition; this move, although controversial at the time, was done by the government as a means to contain all international fascist activity under one identifier, and to in turn force repudiation upon those who sought to spread fascist ideologies in illegal and unsavory manners. The IAF would peak in membership in 2273, with over 8 billion members in various affiliated fascist groups existing mainly in the Periphery and the nascent Frontier, with major power blocs on Hyperion and Earth. However, by the 2400s, the IAF would begin to see a significant decline due to an endless surge of smear campaigns launched against it by political parties such as the New Democratic Party and Congressional Republican Party.

Still present in the modern day, the IAF has turned away from attaining the pipe dream of clout in the modern political climate. They instead operate in a more charitable fashion, donating to the poor and downtrodden in addition to like-minded interest groups and individuals. However, the IAF's member groups are rumored to be involved in a miscellany of criminal activities; mainly those relating to the funding of racialist and nationalist gangs, separatist movements, and violent radicals. They have also been designated by the Security Information Network as a possible source of international-scale sedition and terrorist activity against the Coalition.

## Members

By numbers, the largest member of the IAF is the Fascist Party of Hathor, representing fascists within the Stellar Republic of Hathor and mostly concentrated within the Planetary Republic of Hyperion with tens of millions of members. Since the 2300s, however, the Fascist Party of Hathor has been unable to breach into the politics of neither Hathor nor Hyperion.
Meran Confederate Armed Forces

Confederate Terrestrial Forces

The **Meran Confederate Armed Forces** are the primary fighting arm of the Confederated Republic of Mera. Though officially formed in 2651, it traces its official heritage to July 6, 2642, when Buckner's Northern Resistance Army and Cheng Shunian's Human United Resistance Front (人類統一反抗陣綫) joined forces to form the **Meran Independence Army.** The Meran Independence Army merged with pro-secessionist planetary defense forces when the Mera system declared unilateral independence during the start of the Meran War, effectively forming the **Meran Confederate Armed Forces.**

Though the Meran War would culminate in a decisive defeat for the Confederacy, organized military forces of the MCAF remain in the Mera system actively operating against the CFA. Beyond the Mera system, however, the MCAF is even more active in the form of the Confederate Star Navy, with various autonomous fleets operating within the space of the Meran Periphery.

* Indian Armed Forces
* United Martian Republic Armed Forces
* National Guard of Hathor

and others...

The **Combined Member National Subcommand**, or **COMB-SUBCOM**, is one of the three main parts of the Department of Security for the Coalition of Congressional Republics (the other two being the Coalition Forces Authority and the Security Intelligence Network). COMB-SUBCOM serves as the collective reserve force for the CFA due to the ability of transferring units between these two organizations, and also serves as the allied command between the individual armed forces of member Republics of the Coalition.

Due to the Coalition being allowed to have member Republics maintain their own armed forces as a part of the treaty that ended the Corporate Wars of the 2200s, and having originally existed since the formation of the Coalition in 2077, the COMB-SUBCOM has accumulated a reputation as the "bulwark against corporate armies". However, corporate influence still has permeated the force, as seen with Elpian nations' armed forces within COMB-SUBCOM being primarily composed of converted corporate security outfits. They are also not allowed to deploy any forces on Earth due to Coalition legislation barring non-CFA deployments on the capital world; as a result, earthborne nations such as the United States and China deploy their forces in nation-owned infrastructure across the wider Coalition, or even deploy their troops in peacekeeping operations abroad.

The COMB-SUBCOM has currently multiple undergoing missions in complement and support to the Coalition Forces Authority, such as the Stellar Republic of Mera (a Coalition-supported stellar government of the Mera star system) reviving its national guard under COMB-SUBCOM administration to assist in the garrisoning of the recently re-taken world. The People's Republic of China has also volunteered to deploy units from the People's Liberation Army on Tupã Prime within the star system of Tupã as a means to phase out potentially vulnerable CFA units from attack by anti-Coalition insurgents.
Exarchs

The **Exarchs** are a powerful street gang that control the Patel Peninsula, a lawless territory just outside the borders of the mighty sprawl of Eleziatta within the continent of Puerto Estelar on Hyperion. Originally a loose confederation of Destino criminals from the eastern Destino seaboard forced from their territories by rival gangs and police during the Years of Blood, the Exarchs moved to the peninsula and waged a bloody street war to consolidate their newfound territory.

Despite the Exarchs' territory officially lying outside of the border of Eleziatta, the bulk of their businesses and activities are conducted within the sprawl's many metrozones.

They appear in *Quiet Until the Thaw* as a secondary antagonistic faction and as a direct participant in the Kyurokan Disaster.

## Background

As the Years of Blood passed and the world around them settled, so too did the Exarchs. They grew in numbers and prowess, seizing opportunities presented by the postbellum power vacuum to expand their influence and solidify their power base in Puerto Estelar. Their headquarters, the Exodome, stands as a testament to their rise; once a magnificent stadium complex abandoned in the 2500s due to lack of funding was now a fortress in all but appearance.

Clad in the colors of black and white, the Exarchs are both a visual manifestation of their code and a statement of their authority. Their attire, a fusion of futuristic cybernetics and neo-noir fashion, strikes an imposing balance between intimidation and allure. The gang symbol, two intersecting white rings, acts as a mark of membership, a symbol of loyalty, and a warning to those who dare to challenge their supremacy.

The Exarchs' strength lies not only in their numbers, but also in their network of informants, hackers, and enforcers spread throughout the vast urban expanse of Eleziatta. They have perfected the art of manipulation and control, exerting their influence over illicit markets, clandestine operations, and the very heart of the city's power structures. This has made them almost untouchable by the Hyperion Police Department in that area, and has elevated them to be almost as powerful as Hyperion's various organized crime syndicates.
Coalition authority

A **Coalition authority** is an organization or entity that the government of the Coalition of Congressional Republics formally administrates; yet, such an organization or entity is not actually considered a core entity of the Coalition government itself, and can theoretically be dissolved without issue. Although non-polity Coalition authorities exist (the main example being the Coalition Forces Authority), the common usage of this term is in reference to geopolitical or astropolitical regions that the CCR maintains direct control of, independent of any nation or corporation. These are colloquially referred to as "peacekeeping regions".

The most notable examples of this include the temporary Belial Authority (put in place for some years as the legitimate government was reassembled for Belial following the Belial War) and the temporary Mera Authority (a similar instance to Belial, but for Mera following the Meran War). In both instances, the Coalition established political authorities in these star systems to facilitate transition of power and attempted maintenance of peace.

Coalition political authorities are often fraught with controversies, as laws within such authorities are usually solely enforced by the Coalition Forces Authority. Since only Coalition laws apply to these authorities, and that no parallel supervising bodies exist as seen in normal countries, crimes against humanity have been reported to occur in the past within these areas.

The **Eastern Albion Megasprawl**, also simply known as **Eastern Albion**, is the larger of the two megasprawls that make up the urban landscape of the Albion continent. Composed of many interconnected cities, it is also one of the largest and most influential of the megasprawls on the planet of Hyperion, only beaten by the Destino Megasprawl by population and Atlantis Underwater Megasprawl in surface area.

## Chronological and political information

### Date established

2405

The **Tsuzuki Motor Corporation** is an independent automotive corporation founded by Kusanagi merchant and Akashiro Clan member Hachemon Tsuzuki in 2405. Maintaining its public autonomy only as a result of being a major profitable front to the Akashiro yakuza, it has climbed in public popularity across Hyperion and even Earth to rival other automobile corporations in the sectors of motorcycles and certain economic classes of cars.

## Overview

With its creation by Hachemon Tsuzuki of the Akashiro Clan, Tsuzuki immediately began to receive funding in its mission of creating various vehicles that the yakuza could utilize (and legitimately sell on the commercial market as well). The first vehicle produced, the TSXM 1000 motorcycle, was produced for up to 1,750,000 units and sold both internally and externally within the Kusanagi megasprawl.

The fame of the TSXM 1000 within Kusanagi would allow Tsuzuki to sell its next line in 2425, the TSXM 2000, across all of Hyperion proper. Over 20 million units were sold, allowing enough funding to be allocated for its first civilian car project, the mini-C 1, in addition to greenlighting the truck project known as the SUPER CARRIER.

In the modern day, Tsuzuki is one of the dominating automotive corporations in the western hemisphere of Hyperion, outbidding even interstellar automobile corporations - with obvious help from its yakuza benefactors. Their various racecars and racing motorcycles, both in terrestrial and hover variants, are sold and used across the Coalition by gangs and official racing organizations.

## Vehicles

Tsuzuki's vehicles are generally catered to a lower to middle-class market, with their sports car bracket being aligned with that of middle to high-class racers and boosters. Many Hyperian bōsōzoku groups and the *Shinsengumi* of Fusōdō have made liberal use of their vehicles, both terrestrial and hover in nature. The TSXM series of terrestrial motorbikes and the S series of hoverbikes have proliferated throughout biker gangs across the Coalition as a result of their high innate modifiability.

The company has also invested in heavy vehicles through its Heavy Motors division, which see use throughout Hyperion by logistics corporations and the planetary government. These includes the SUPER CARRIER, MEGA CARRIER, and GIGA CARRIER lines.

Spaceliner

**Spaceliners** are spaceships dedicated to transporting human and synthetic passengers over massive distances in space, whether a journey as small as between a moon and a planet, or as large as across the breadth of the entire Coalition of Congressional Republics. Sometimes synonymous with the term "space ferry" for interplanetary trips, they are *not* to be confused with space cruiseships, where the interplanetary or interstellar voyage itself becomes the focus of income.
Inari

**Inari**, also known as **Wadatsumi V**, is the fifth planet from the star of Wadatsumi. Lying within the Goldilocks zone of the orange dwarf, it was terraformed in 2190 by Kanetomi in their bid to secure an entire star system of their own to control within the Periphery. Now lying in the Wadatsumi Free Economic Zone that encompasses all of the star system, Inari functions as the WFEZ's capital and both as the throne world of the Kanetomi dynasty and the headquarters world of the Kanetomi Corporation.

The world was initially colonized by groups of Japanese from Earth, Tellus, and Hyperion—either disgruntled at the living standards of these worlds or embarking on corporate reward by Kanetomi. Those with yakuza or other criminal connections were deliberately bared from immigrating, as the Kanetomi Corporation sought to establish a crime-free Japanese-cultured paradise (much unlike the Fuso Colony in what would be Kusanagi on Fusōdō, Hyperion, which was steeped in criminal activities). During the Corporate Wars, the planet was occupied by the pro-corporate Outer Colonial Combine for almost five years as a result of Kanetomi siding with the government of the Coalition of Congressional Republics. However, following the Tellus Protocol, the planet fell back into Kanetomi control and became a gateway for further colonization in the northern Frontier for the next few centuries.

As of the modern day, Inari is Kanetomi's largest stronghold, hosting the most amount of the dynasty's residences and megacorporation's facilities. It is also home to the most amount of Kanetomi employees, with nearly 250 million on the world being a direct member of the Kanetomi Corporation. The rest of the population are geared either towards maintaining the planet's ecological state or its native industries and bureaucracy, in shell corporations or in its government.

Inari is officially administered by the Inari Planetary Authority, a subordinate administration of the WFEZ. All public and government services on the planet are subsidized by the Kanetomi Corporation, with the planetary authority only approving foreign corporations to open venues on the world via Kanetomi approval. The planet currently has a population of 7 billion, with a majority being Kanetomi employees in some fashion. The right to reside on Inari is highly restricted even to other Coalition citizens; only those born on the world or awarded residence of the WFEZ can reside on the planet. However, Inari is one of the largest tourism hotspots in the Periphery, attracting tens of billions per year to its many terraformed "natural" vistas and Japanese centers of culture.

Inari has 8 satellites, with all being asteroids to varying levels of size. These asteroids have been fortified as natural military outposts and trade ports. Due to lacking a proper moon, Inari's tides are minimal, and its seasons are effectively continuous.
Clement Lafitte

**Clement Lloyd Lafitte**, also known by his street name **Klezzy**, is a member of the 50th Red Jackals. Born and raised in the Nowak Heights district of Jade City to a family of Jamaican origins, Klezzy is no stranger to the wave of crime that all lower class people of Hyperion become acquainted to.
Washin Buddhism

**Washin Buddhism** (Japanese: 和心宗, *Washin-shū*; lit. "School of the Heart of Peace), also known as **Washinism** (和心教; *Washinkyō*), is one of the current major schools of Buddhism within the Coalition of Congressional Republics. Formed by a radical Shingon monk named Tōke of Nagoya sometime after the end of the Second Martian-Terran War, it emphasized greater syncretism of Shintō theology with that of Buddhism. Tōke began this school, initially as a breakaway movement, in order to forge a greater Japanese spiritual identity, which at the time was seen as being assailed on all sides by growing atheism or foreign faiths such as Christianity, Islam, and new age religions.

What truly elevated the Washin School to become a potent sect of Buddhism was its patronage by the Kanetomi dynasty, starting in the 2080s. Ichirō Kanetomi, the son of the official founder of the dynasty Kijūrō, was a prominent Japanese nationalist and saw the Nagoya-born Washin School as a possible tool of spiritual rejuvenation for his clan and identity. Converting many of his previously Shingon and Zen Buddhist relatives, Ichirō would eventually propel the Washin School to become accepted by the government of Japan. From the beginning of the 2100s onward, Washin Buddhism would eventually supplant the domination of other Buddhist schools in both Japanese colonies abroad and in Japan itself.
Venture Star program

Julien Exploratory
Coalition Forces Authority

* Space Exploration and Discovery Corps

The **Venture Star program** is a future space expedition planned by the Coalition Office of Astronomy and Exploration, in conjunction with the Coalition Forces Authority and several exploration corporations such as Julien Exploratory, to chart as many star systems as possible within the Silver River galaxy. Originally planned to launch in 2690, information gained during Operation Scryer and the isolation of Signal 22X-B9 delayed the operation by ten years due to fears of an alien civilization existing immediately near the borders of the Coalition of Congressional Republics, beyond the Nightshade Nebula.

Plans are in motion for the Venture Star program to launch on January 1st, 2700. It will be composed of two hundred civilian exploration ships, fifty corporate exploration ships, and over a thousand interstellar probes, with the former two portions of the expedition being shored up by the presence of military escort and logistics craft - especially in the direction of 22X-B9.

Most ships that will be used are of the *Christopher Columbus*-class make of long-voyage exploration craft.
Radio stations

**Radio stations** have persisted into the dawn of the 28th century; such a phenomenon is thanks to their relative cheapness to create and maintain over that of more sophisticated communication systems.

Practically all operating radio stations are civilian and simplistic in nature, as military (and often megacorporate) communications having shifted into other, more complex vectors of signal transmission.

## Functionality

### Land-based radio stations

For radio stations servicing land populations, such as the hundreds of thousands of major native radio stations across the surface of Hyperion, they are operating within atmospheres; as a result, they must contend with the interfering nature that atmospheres often exhibit with radio waves. Most legitimate radio stations operate massive antennae, either by themselves or on top of stratoscrapers, that utilize the troposphere as an amplificatory medium. They also utilize the e-layer of ionospheres to further broadcast their signal, allowing transmission across thousands of miles on a planet's surface with sufficient equipment.

Illegal, or pirate, radio stations operating on worlds will often hijack antennae through hacking or covertly set up their own, less-powered antennae.

### Space-based radio stations

Unlike planet-bound radio, stations operating from space have the ability to project their radio waves across huge swaths of interplanetary space without noticeable interference. Known as "lag-stations" due to their waves only propagating at the speed of light, space-based radio can service interplanetary pilots and space stations across huge swaths of a star system with high fidelity.

Pirate radio is much more common in space due to its lower relative law enforcement presence and the time needed for ships to investigate a source. Most pirate radio is transmitted from autonomous drones or small ships that consistently travel to avoid interception, or hosted in areas such as asteroid fields.
Camp Espíndola

**Camp Espíndola** was a Bernauerstader prisoner-of-war camp set up during the opening days of the Battle of Wolfsbane Hill inside Eriquirimuênia; it served to detain captured soldiers and mercenaries of the Isthmus Pact, an alliance of pro-Coalition of Congressional Republics nations on the world of Tupã Prime. Originally designed to hold up to four thousand prisoners, the massive gains that rebel forces achieved during the latter stages of the battle led to the camp swelling to a population of up to twenty thousand at its peak. As a result of these events, many prisoners died from diseases such as virulent strains macropox, or to suicides and killings by guards and prisoners alike.

Interstellar Coalition Marine Corps

The Souther Alpha **D/CF-24 Icarus** is a twin-engine aerial warship. Developed for the Interstellar Coalition Terrestrial Army's Aerospace Corps to facilitate planetary liberations following the escalation of the Mera Insurgency in the 2640s, the D/CF-24 Icarus was intended to be a spearhead preceding the deployment of 'wet' naval assets. Officially classified as an 'airborne destroyer', the D/CF-24 serves a multirole purpose as both a pivotal combat asset and a key component of C4I and logistics.

Two variants are primarily in Coalition Forces Authority service: the D/CF-24 and the D/CF-24G, which is intended to act as a large transport for planetary invasion forces.

November 11, 2580

**SlimeBBS** is an English-language Hyperian web forum. Founded by gox, the site is host to a vast number of boards centered around a wide variety of topics. Owing to its site culture and often contentious relationship with authorities, most registered users do not disclose identifying information about themselves, and the site's registration process demands minimal information from prospective users. Since its founding, SlimeBBS has played a central role in a number of major events involving InfoScape, from multiple memes, art movements (such as the Ecco ArtCollectiv), to various hacktivist organizations, such as NightAnon and Cybergaia, as well as certain political undercurrents among the Coalition's younger generations. As such, SlimeBBS is often cited as a major influence in the past century of InfoScape culture, despite repeat attempts by authorities to compromise the site and its userbase.

SlimeBBS was originally founded as a successor to GoopBoard, a forum website with a similar layout that was raided and shut down by the SIN in 2579 due to the involvement of its userbase in the Pearl Thule Capital Cyberattack. Owing to gox's personal views on InfoScape culture, individual freedoms and anonymity, SlimeBBS possesses incredibly high levels of user info encryption, as well as demanding minimal information from members who register. Faced with meteoric growth after its founding, SlimeBBS quickly established a number of parallel board systems in other star systems, using a federated decentralized model.

SlimeBBS is believed to be an incredibly profitable venture despite the controversial nature of the site and the often vulgar content posted on its boards, on account of advertisers, as it allows advertisements both from willing companies and advertising providers, as well as individual users who can buy ad space for a set amount of time. The site has been run by yoozoo since 2689, whose identity remains unknown.
The Core

**The Core**, also known as **the Center** and **the Homeland**, is an approximately 94 light-year wide bubble of space situated around the Solar System. It is used to often refer to the most highly developed member systems of the Coalition of Congressional Republics, and includes the systems of Sol, Abol, Aellope, Amun, Aton, Elpis, Golder, Hathor, Mirzac, Ra, Sehul, and Tiandi. It is also home to several military systems and installations, such as the Citadel, Lyonesse, Proxima Aquilis, and Tombstone. The Core is home to over half of all of humanity...

Security Intelligence Network

The Intersolar Dynamics **Q/A-97 Vortex**, colloquially called the **'hunter-killer drone'**, is an unmanned, supersonic combat aircraft serving ground attack, counterinsurgency (COIN), and close air support (CAS) roles. It is capable of being remote controlled by an operator on the ground or operating autonomously under its AN/AYQ-34 onboard artificial intelligence.

Due to its low profile, lack of a pilot and autonomous capabilities, the Q/A-97 has become subject to a number of controversies among Coalition citizenry, with many viewing the drones as a tool of extrajudicial violence against dissidents and opponents of the CFA and the Coalition's government at large.

Amphitrite

**Amphitrite**, also known as **Hathor I**, is the first orbiting planet around the star of Hathor. Administered by the Planetary Authority of Amphitrite and with a permanent population of one million (all within orbital infrastructure), the world is a member of the Stellar Republic of Hathor. Due to its nature as a "boiling world", the surface is inhospitable; it only serves as a reservoir of water for the rest of the star system and as a research center.
Interdiction field

**Interdiction fields**, also known as **interception fields** and **countergravity fields**, are special gravity wells generated by interdiction projectors that function similar to barodrives. Due to the amount of energy required to generate interdiction fields, the technology saw no practical applications in the Coalition of Congressional Republics until the 2600s and the introduction of the Anchor-class interdiction cruiser.

## Function

In essence, interdiction fields are gravity fields projected from a dedicated interdiction projector, utilizing a single kugelblitz sourced from a small antimatter reactor to, in turn, source gravitons needed for simple gravity lasers that help to produce the field. However, unlike a proper barodrive, interdiction fields have no capabilities of manipulating barospace, as there are no attenuation of its respective gravitons in any physical manner. Instead, these interdiction fields serve as gravitic disruptors to ships passing through barospace, or alternatively as gravitic stoppers preventing ships from properly entering barospace.

This is due to the proximal interactions between the normal gravitons of the interdiction field and the excited gravitons of the other vessel's barodrive, causing a loss in the latter's gravitonic population inversion. This loss of excited, attenuated gravitons thus leads to a dissipation of its warp bubble and any subsequent capacity for faster-than-light travel.

The purpose of interdiction fields lies in stopping vessels from leaving a preset area, or to force vessels traveling to a present area through a predetermined trajectory to abruptly leave their heightened brane state. This is because barodrives are vulnerable to any and all gravity fields that lie in the wake of its trajectory path, as the natural gravitons from any other gravity well other than its own at close ranges can greatly diminish the modulation of its own produced gravitons, thus preventing transitioning into barospace. Such a principle is why spaceships can never warp directly into the close orbit of a planemo, star, or other celestial object with significant enough mass to have a large gravity well.
Metaliberalism

**Metaliberalism** is a form of liberalism that arose during the stellar expansion of human territory, starting in the 2080s and continuing to the present day. Specifically evolving from the Terran-borne strains of neoliberalism dominant in nations such as the United States of America, metaliberalism espouses socially left-wing positions such as ensured human rights...

The McCready-Kūron Corporation **F/A-171 Hieroraptor** is a hypersonic, twin-engine, two-seat, twin-tail, repulsor antigrav V/STOL all-weather supermaneuverable fighter aircraft developed by the McCready-Kūron Corporation and Coalition Atomics' electronics development division. The F/A-171 was developed to meet the requirements of the Interstellar Coalition Terrestrial Army's Aerospace Corps under the 2664 Defense Procurement Program. The Hieroraptor was designed with the intent and purpose of being a hypersonic fighter capable of conducting both long, medium, and short-range air superiority missions across planetary theatres, replacing the aging F-144 Vulture by 2684.

The F/A-171 sports a smaller RCS in comparison to its predecessor, sporting a full-wing sweep RCS comparable to a basketball, which can be further reduced via the aircraft's hypersonic plasma stealth. Beyond stealth capabilities, it boasts ground attack, electronic warfare, long-range reconnaissance and signals intelligence capabilities, optimizing its position as a capable and potent multirole fighter. Aside from service with the Aerospace Corps, the F/A-171 has also been extensively adopted by megacorps, in the form of the CF-171 Corporate Raptor.

The F/A-171 also hosts two MQ-94 Sentinel drones housed in two chambers in the rear fuselage, for usage in both dogfighting and close air support roles. These drones are typically operated by the aircraft's WSO.

### Battles and wars

War on Terror
Bernauerstad Independence War

* Battle of Colina de Acônito

The **Holy Army for the Salvation and Liberation of Humanity** (**HASLH**), or simply the **Holy Army**, is a Christian insurgent organization that is currently waging a pan-Coalition "crusade" against the government of the Coalition of Congressional Republics, its subsidiary member republics, and the various megacorporations that operate within the Coalition (specifically those with seats in the Coalition Corporate Advisory Committee). Coordinating with other religious insurgent groups such as the Sunni Islamic Al-Eamud, Hindu Krodha Army, and other smaller Christian militant groups, the Holy Army is classified as a **Class One Threat** by the Security Intelligence Network due to its scope, size, and scale of attacks.

The core ideology of the Holy Army is the rejection of the modern state of humanity, which - according to the organization - is becoming enslaved by a godless ruling caste of artificial intelligences, megacorporate beneficiaries, and faceless bureaucrats. Instead, the Holy Army seeks to render all of humanity under the banner of a dominion with laws derived from Christian morality and ethics, including the total destruction of artificial intelligences, the end of megacorporate domination, and a return of political power to the "common people". Besides the Christian dominionist goal, these common elements of ideology have allowed the organization to fight alongside other similarly-aligned insurgent groups and rogue states numerous times against the power of the Coalition Forces Authority and corporate armies (with mixed results).

The Holy Army functions with a member-union of the three main denominations of Christianity that spread throughout the stars following the rise of the Coalition: Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Protestantism. Although all sovereign churches and religious figures of these three faiths have rejected and criticized the approaches of the Holy Army, the group nevertheless is able to draw members from most "old-world" Christian faiths due to the perceived zeitgeist of irreligious behavior and identity subsuming that of religion in the modern day.
Sector

Within the Coalition of Congressional Republics, a **sector** refers to a portion of space with more than one star system.

Sectors have (for the beginning portion of human interstellar history) existed as merely astrographic delineations, due to no real polities existing with control over multiple star systems as a result of logistical and administrative strain over light years of distance. However, following the innovations Corporate Wars and the strengthening of barodrives and their endurance, the emergence of a select few sector-level republics has occurred. The most notable of these is the Astralland Autonomous Sectoral Republic, which achieved autonomy in 2575 from the Coalition following the Astrallander Rebellion.
Great Plateau

The **Great Plateau**, otherwise known as the **Slump** or **Stagnation**, is a concept used in human history and sociology circles to refer to the current stagnation that technological innovation has experienced over the past three hundred years following the end of the Coalition of Congressional Republic's Second Renaissance. Although certain breakthroughs in medical nanotechnology and astrobiology have been achieved, it has been three centuries since any major innovations have been made in computing, astroengineering, or other scientific disciplines.

Many reasons have been attributed to the onset of the Great Plateau, with the most notable being the economic fallout and degradation of the Coalition stifling further advancements following the end of the Second Renaissance. Others have also pointed to the monolithic amounts of legislation that were put into effect following the Machine War, which severely limited developments on artificial intelligence as a means to protect the human species. Physical reasons still exist, such as the inability for scientists to successfully create scalable and efficient quantum computers. Conspiracy theorists claim that the Great Plateau is a deliberately manufactured phenomenon by the megacorporations of the Coalition as a means to keep a permanent and complacent consumer base.

**New Deco**, also known as **Neo-Deco** or **Revived Art Deco**, is an art movement that slowly began in the 2150s with the resurgence in interest for old-age human aesthetics in places such as the United States of America and the European Federation. Seeing sponsorship by various architects and artists, the movement would not pick up full steam until the establishment of the Stellar Republic of New Rome and the surge of popularity of the Pantheon of the Anthropocene, which both saw the art movement become coupled with the philosophy and ideology of Legacism.

Being primarily used by New Rome as its source of architectural and artistic identity, in addition to bolstering the art forms and styles of the Pantheon, New Deco would reach its golden age after the Corporate Wars and the boom of New Roman population in the late 2200s and early 2300s. For the next three hundred years, it would also spread to other nations such as the Stellar Republic of Hathor, which built new urban districts using the style on worlds such as Hyperion to a limited degree.

In the modern day, New Deco still persists as a strong artistic vector of Legacism and the identities of New Rome, the Pantheon, and the Fran-Wakeman Corporation. However, beyond the New Roman star system and the buildings of either the Pantheon or Fran-Wakeman, New Deco has seen a significant decline, being replaced with the slowly rising fervor of Y3K that began in the 2500s.

Due to the extent of New Deco and the size of the Coalition of Congressional Republics, thousands of subtypes exist. However, all subtypes share some degree of similarity, such as using expensive materials and associating themselves with Legacism, the human spirit, or industry.

## Etymology

The term "New Deco" originated in American analyses of the resurgence of Art Deco and Streamline Moderne architecture, which had been constructed across the Eastern Seaboard Megasprawl in the 2100s as a result of the many commissions of the American-French Deco architect Jonathan Beauchamp. It immediately gained popularity, and further bolstered the demand for the style not only in America, but also in the European Federation and even in the capital cities of colonial worlds.
Goldberg Syndicate

The **Goldberg Syndicate** is a powerful but relatively secretive criminal organization operating out of the Atlantic Underwater Megasprawl on the planet of Hyperion. Headed by the shadowy influence of the man known as simply as Goldberg, it is infamously known for its trafficking of the xenochemical narcotic known as kreggy, which has grown to dominate the Hyperion drug market and spawn a multitude of copycats and drug wars in turn. It is classified as one of the most dangerous syndicates operating on Hyperion by the Hyperion Police Department, but not just for its drug and weapons distribution activites alone — the group has been involved in a multitude of sponsored or direct cyberattacks and physical assaults on the digital and physical properties of the Stapleford Group (more specifically, its subsidiary, VISTA Biotechnologies). The attacks have become so severe in recent years that the Hecate Security Enterprises subsidiary of Stapleford, often referred to as Stapleford's private army, have been ramping up security details on Hyperion in conjunction with launching "no-notif" raids on private property suspected to belong to Goldberg. This shadow war has not yielded the megaconglomerate much information regarding Goldberg, however.
Astral Federation

The **Astral Federation** is an independent Human presidential republic that lies to the galactic northwest of the Coalition of Congressional Republics. It is composed of fifteen states, one federal-level planetary state (Astoria), five colonial territories, and a Defense Priority Region (DPR) along its claims with the CCR. It is both the secondmost powerful and largest human polity in the Silver River Galaxy, behind that of the Coalition. It shares a tenuous border with the Coalition to its galactic southeast, and has a population of approximately 143 billion. The national capital of the Astral Federation is also its most populous world, named Astoria.

Originally a series of colonial worlds in the Copernicus Rift settled amidst the boom of human colonization during the Second Renaissance, the arrival of the Great Stellar Depression and the death of the "Renaissance Dream", in addition to massive socioeconomic upheaval within the Coalition in the following centuries, prompted these worlds to join together and form a parallel supranational organization that sidestepped Coalition bureaucracy to achieve the best for their citizens. This blatant act of violating their colonial charters, in turn, created a domino effect in the colonial space near to the Copernicus Rift, with colonies erupting in secessionist revolutions in 2560. This sudden wave of insurrection banding together under the banners of a newfound "astral federation" forced the Coalition to prosecute a conflict now known as the War of Astral Secession. Such a war occurring alongside the outbreak of the Astrallander Rebellion in 2567 forced the Coalition to revoke their demands for reincorporation of the federation in 2570, thereby officially yielding the modern Astral Federation state. However, the Federation remains unrecognized by all Coalition nations, and only has nominal interaction with the wider economy of Human space.

As of the present day, due to no signing of any official peace treaty, there only exists temporary ceasefires that often flare into skirmishes within star systems claimed by both sides between the Coalition Forces Authority and the Armed Services of the Astral Federation. The Coalition still maintains that all worlds of the Astral Federation are still legally bound to Sol, despite the other party's declarations otherwise.

The Astral government is a representative democracy and federal republic, maintaining three branches of government and a bicameral legislature akin to its initial modeling on the government of the United States of America.
Gulf of Charon

The **Gulf of Charon** is a large body of water that constitutes a portion of the greater Southern Albion Sea on Hyperion. It officially spans from the coastal archipelagoes of Longgai to that of Ningzhou, with the megalopoli of Beira, the eponymous Charon, Lorenzo, Fin, and Chasten also contributing their waterfronts to the gulf.

The gulf is host to the Southern Albion Penitentiary, a waterborne prison hosted several miles off the coast of the island of New Madagascar, in addition to multiple active and defunct xenofossil fuel extractors. Although not existing in modernity as a phenomenon, the gulf was often known for its waterborne piracy after the terraformation and colonization of the planet due to the various nearby coastal archipelagoes.

Astrallander Rebellion

The **Astrallander Rebellion** (known also as the *Befreiungskrieg*) was a civil war that erupted in the eastern reaches of the Frontier of the Coalition of Congressional Republics between government forces and various armed groups affiliating themselves with the Free Astralland Movement, or FAM, from 2567 to 2575.
