RWI Fleet

The **RWI Fleet** is Red Wood Industries' primary force for both space warfare and exploration in the galaxy. The fleet was very large and diverse. It was composed of a multitude of ships, ranging from science corvettes to large battleships. The fleet consisted mostly of Defender-class Frigates and Phoenix-class Assault Frigates, with the V-203 Fighter being their primary strike craft. Small support craft like the Valkyrie-class Dropship, the Vulture-class Attack Helicopter, and the Eitri Construction Vessel were also part of the fleet. A few mighty Daedalus-class Battleships commanded large portions of the fleet and were typically captained by veteran officers. A small number of vessels purely created for exploration were also created, such as the Venture-class Science Cruiser, the RWI Discovery. A prototype science corvette, the Eclipse-class, was in service during the Shadow War and was commanded by Grand Admiral Jack Roberts. All RWI ships are most notable for their black and red exterior colors with the exception being the Venture-class.

It was later revealed in Space Engineers: Serenity that all exploratory missions no longer existed due to the Shadow War.

Ward's Research Facility

1 Disassembled SwiftFighter

**Ward's Research Facility** is a laboratory built under a mountain by Dr. Isaac Ward. It was used as a home for the scientist and to study the Artifact after the recovery from the Eclipse's crash site.

## History

The Research Facility was home to Dr. Isaac Ward for most of his time on Planet X38. It is believed he built the facility with the remains of his ship, the USS Intrepid. Soon after the crash of the RWI Eclipse he recovered the Artifact from the wreckage and brought it to his laboratory.

Months later Grand Admiral Jack Roberts and Captain Venom Kazz arrived at the Facility following a strange signal matching previous transmissions emanated by the Artifact. Dr. Ward opened the door and greeted them, beginning a tour of the installation. They soon reached the Artifact in Ward's lab and demanded to get it back as RWI property. The Doctor refused and told them it made possible for him to see the future and that he made a deal with the Shadows to capture Jack and Venom. Immediately a gunfight broke out and Ward was killed. On their way out the duo killed some shadow soldiers which entered the structure but as soon as they exited they found themselves surrounded by shadow forces while a corvette led by the Shadow Commander had picked up the Artifact.

Unexpectedly a squadron of RWI fighters arrived and launched a full missile barrage against the corvette causing severe damage to its systems. While Hellfire Squadron began engaging the Shadow fighters surrounding the Grand Admiral, a modified Defender Class MKII frigate the RWI Serenity arrived on the scene forcing the corvette to flee and crash land in the area. Soon after a squad of RWI soldiers commanded by Commander Marcus Ford rescued Jack and Venom bringing them onboard.

Nothing is known of the facility after this point and is presumed to be abandoned.

## Description

## Plot

Some time during Finbar's mining trip, the Marauder was heavily damaged while trekking across the ice lake. Jack moves toward Finbar's location with the Wyvern to see how bad the situation is. After seeing the extensive damage to the Marauder's middle section, both Jack and Fin starts emergency repairs on the Marauder to make it operable again. Once repairs were done, Fin returns to mining while Jack heads back to the base.

Jack continues his construction on a newly-extended base section but Finbar somehow flips the Marauder over again on the far side of the ice lake. Jack then takes the Wyvern again to retrieve the Marauder while Fin heads into the mountains in order to find resources to mine. After offloading the rover back at base and landing the Wyvern on the platform, Jack starts repairing the Wyvern by building some of the missing thrusters and fixing some of the armor plating.

After he repairs enough of the Wyvern, Jack starts drilling into the ground under the base to begin expanding the underground section for a hangar. Meanwhile, Finbar managed to find good locations for iron and cobalt and marks them for future mining.

After building more of the underground section of the base, Jack heads to the Eclipse and, after seeing more of Finbar's unique lighting, goes to the ship's bridge seeing the screens flashing again. Afterwards, Jack salvage more components from broken ship components and returns back to the base. Jack then wonders how Finbar is doing with his mining trip and decides to take the Wyvern to check on him.

The Shadow Man admits resourcefulness and starts to move ahead with his plans. The Shadow Man then orders a nearby soldier to summon Admiral Sark to him.

Shadow Commander's Helicarrier

The **Shadow Commander's Helicarrier** is the personal command ship used by the Shadow Commander during the attack on Jack's Base.

## History

### Space Engineers: Planet Wars

The Shadow Commander's Helicarrier was a modified RCSP Helicarrier used by the Shadows. It was commanded by the Shadow Commander, the commanding officer of all operations on Planet X38. The Commander decided to launch an assault on Grand Admiral Jack Roberts' base. He left with several fighters.

A few days after the departure the helicarrier arrived at the base and commenced an attack on the base. 2 Shadow Fighters made an attack run and did quite a lot of damage as Jack and the other survivors were taken off guard. They managed to get their defense turrets online and destroy the fighters but not before the fighters destroyed the secondary landing gear and one of the defense platforms.

The Commander ordered a second attack on the base and launched an additional 2 fighters. The fighters managed to do some damage to the base and even managed to destroy the solar array. Captain Ryan "Venom" Kazz activated the defense turrets on a stolen helicarrier and destroyed the remaining fighters.

By this point the Commander had enough. He ordered the last fighters to attack the base and ordered his helmsman to bring the helicarrier over to the base. The Commander ordered the fighters to focus fire on the helicarrier. During their initial attack run they managed to destroy the bases point defense system. The Shadow Carrier opened fire on the base and caused significant damage, forcing Jack to activate the defense cannon. Jack ordered Finbar to evacuate to the carrier and orders Venom to activate the thrusters. Venom says that they wouldn't be able to run the weapons if he turned on the thrusters. Jack activated the main cannon and managed to do significant damage to the helicarrier, forcing it to back off.

Jack saw the damage in the base and decided to leave. Before he left, he did one more thing. He ordered the self destruct of the RWI *Eclipse*and left. Jack ordered Venom to activate the broadside cannons, and Venom said they didn't have cannons, and Jack made some modifications. They opened fire, causing collateral damage to the helicarrier and forcing it to do an emergency landing. The Shadow Commander evacuated the carrier with his command staff and headed to the *Eclipse.* They got there and the self destruct initiated, but it was soon deactivated by the AI aboard DJ.

The wreckage of the helicarrier remained at the crash site but it was not there during the Finale Battle of X-38. It is presumed that the Shadows managed to salvage the carrier.

## Trivia

The carrier, along with several other ships and locations in the world were deleted due to increasing lag. This is why the carrier isn't crashed during the scenes of the base in episode 40, FINALE.

The carrier is a modified RCSP helicarrier as mentioned by Jack in episode 16, Saving Friends.

UPGRADES!

**UPGRADES!** is the twentieth episode of Planet Wars.

## Synopsis

Jack shows Finbar the base upgrades he has made.

## Plot

Jack decides to make a log about his situation. After various assumptions on the Shadows he claims that if he cannot make the AI of the RWI *Eclipse* work the ship may shut down completly. He then talks about his concearn about Commander Ryan's fate. At the end of the log Jack encrypts it and gets back to the base.

Finbar wakes up to find and entire new room dedicated to the management of the base. Jack explains him that he worked on various upgrades for the base while Fin took a 12 hours nap. He then procedes to show the new cargo container built in the basement. Once outside he explains the various modifies he made to implement a second landing pad.

After discussing plans for the recently aquired Raven, Jack shows Fin the new battlecannon he installed on the roof of the base alongside the frame for a landing platform made to house the Helicarrier. Soon after they both get back to work, one welding the command room and the other gathering parts to repair the Raven. After finishing welding the missing parts of the base, Jack procedes to create a solar tower to get energy and create a small pojector where he uploads the blueprint for a small mining ship.

The Shadow Man is then seen at his base asking for a report from the Commander staioned on Planet X38.
Shadows

A soldier belonging to the Shadows

The **Shadows** are a secret military organization dedicated to overthrowing Red Wood Industries and the Galactic Council. Their current leader is known by the moniker "Shadow Man." His true identity is not currently known.

## **History**

It is currently unknown as to who created the Shadows, as well as how they acquire funds for all of their current operations.

The Shadows had found great interest in the Artifact that RWI had discovered. So much so that they used an advanced warship and attacked Epsilon Base. After destroying the base, the Shadows, determined to retrieve the Artifact, pursued the evacuating fleet accompanying the RWI *Eclipse*. In the end, the RWI *Hyperion**, RWI Resolution* and RWI Norway were destroyed and both the *Eclipse* and the RWI *Orion*were heavily damaged by the time they jumped away.

### **Planet Wars**

It is currently unknown as to how long the Shadows had established foothold on the Earth-Like Planet, but it could be determined to be well over a year given Dr. Isaac Ward's time on the planet and the disappearance of the RWI *Reliant* (later discovered on the planet by Jack and Finbar). In that span of time, the Shadows established several bases on the planet as well as consolidating their presence with soldiers, helicarriers, drones and manned fighters.

## **Organization**

It appears that all Shadow operations are under the supervision of the Shadow Man. Main militia duties requiring in-field supervision are mainly done by Admiral Sark or assigned commanders. This type of leadership system is significantly different compared to Red Wood Industries. (for example,the Grand Admiral is subordinate to a council)

## **Shadow Fleet**

The Shadow's fleet is consist of state-of-the-art ships specializing in taking down advanced and powerful vessels and space stations. Several ships in the Shadow Fleet originally belonged to RWI and the GC.

* Shadow Commander's Helicarrier
* Shadow Command Ship
* Shadow Fighters
* Shadow Carrier
* Shadow Drone Fighters
Isaac Ward

*"No. Its just begun.........I have seen the future. I have seen what will happen."*

*-* Isaac Ward's last words'

## Isaac Ward

### Voice Actor

Typhun

**Doctor Isaac Ward** was a science officer of the USS *Intrepid**.*

## History

Doctor Isaac Ward was a science officer aboard the USS *Intrepid* that crashed on the Earth-Like Planet in 1 BBE.

### Planet Wars

Isaac awoke one month after the *Intrepid* crashed on the planet.

During his time on the planet, he found an abandoned base with a communications relay above it and modified it to be his personal research base. At an unknown point of time, he witnessed the crash of the RWI *Reliant**.* Most of the *Reliant*'s crew died on impact while the remaining survivors were "taken" by the Shadows.

He later witnessed the crash of the RWI *Eclipse* and the RWI *Orion*. Thinking there may be some good scrap, Ward traveled to the crash sites where he later found the Artifact and later transported it back to his lab. He studied it for two months, becoming obsessed with what the Artifact has unveiled to him.

Eventually, the Shadows managed to track Ward down and offered a deal to him. If he was to capture Grand Admiral Jack Roberts and Captain Ryan "Venom" Kazz, they would return him back to his home in GC space. After agreeing to this promise, Ward prepared for their arrival.

Once they finally arrived, Doctor Ward introduced himself and allowed Jack and Venom inside.

Upon entering the base interior, Venom was able to get stronger readings off of the Artifact. While Isaac did show Jack and Venom the Artifact, he was quite adamant that the Artifact now belongs only to him and the confrontation resulted in a two-on-one gun fight. Ward eventually received fatal shots to his body and collapsed onto the floor.

After telling Jack and Venom what the Artifact showed him of the future, Ward died.

## Personality

Dr. Ward appears to have an overall calm demeanor but is quick to becoming hostile especially once the Artifact was in his possession. Ward also seems very insane possibly due to being on the Planet for so long and his prolonged dxposure to the Artifact.
Bridge Officer

A **bridge officer** was an officer whose station or main duties took place on the bridge of a starship. A group of bridge officers were collectively known as the **bridge staff**.

## Synopsis

Lost in space.... drifting ... someone wakes up on board the Serenity...

## Plot

The RWI Serenity and the RWI Eclipse are drifting through space. Commander Marcus Ford, acting commanding officer of the *Serenity*, wakes up prematurely from cryo-sleep. He's starts making his way to the bridge when *DJ* detects him awake. Ford then asks DJ for information regarding their current status.

Once on the bridge, DJ tells Ford that they have been traveling for 2 months and 10 days and while the ships are on course for RWI-controlled space, it will take an additional two years before they reach RWI and, due to the Science Division fleet being reassigned to assist against the Shadows, it is unlikely they will be found anytime soon.

Ford explains to *DJ* that the reason for him awakening from cryo-sleep is to record the events the RWI *Serenity* took part in after the attack on Epsilon Base in the event something happens to both ships while traveling.

## Appearances

Major General

**Major General** is a general-grade commissioned officer of the RWI Marine Division, and are equal in rank to Rear Admiral in the RWI Navy.

Given that other officer ranks command the same unit groupings as their modern day U.S. counterparts, a Major General probably commands division sized units. This has yet to be observed in the Red Wood universe though. They may also serve as high-level staff officers at major commands.

In informal settings, Major Generals are typically referred to simply as "General."

A Major General may be also referred to as a "two-star General" to distinguish it from the other ranks of General; so named for the two star rank insignia worn on the uniform.
Missing in Action!

**Missing in Action!** is the fourteenth episode of Planet Wars.

## Synopsis

Jack searches around the Orion wreck and then discovers Finbar isn't responding....

## Plot

Jack, unbeknownst to Finbar's capture, continues salvaging materials from the remnant sections of the RWI *Orion*. He attempts to contact Finbar over the comms but is unable to get a connection. Jack assumes that Fin is either asleep or there's an error with communications. After failing, he continues salvaging.

Once Jack managed to fill his storage to full capacity, he takes a look around the Orion's crash site to try and ID the different sections of the ship and to locate useful parts for future salvage operations. After looking, Jack returns back to the Wyvern to offload the materials and takes off to retrieve Fin from his mine.

Once he get close to the mine location, Jack attempts close range communications to Finbar and once again receives no response. Jack then lands the Wyvern near the mine shaft to look for Fin himself. Upon landing he notices the mine shaft was sealed off and notices several pieces of light armor with a different color scheme. After pondering who the light armor belongs to, Jack uses his drill to reopen the mine shaft, assuming Finbar accidentally sealed himself in. After exploring the shaft, and no Finbar in-sight, Jack leaves and takeoff again in the Wyvern and attempts searching in the mine's vicinity while actively sending out comm messages to Fin.

After searching in the vicinity of another mine, Jack returns to base and assumes Fin returned to it without telling him. After the Wyvern is docked to the base, he searches the base's interior and the inside of the RWI *Eclipse* but once again, no Finbar was heard or seen from. After searching at the base, Jack relaunches in the Wyvern to attempt another aerial search.

Meanwhile on a mountaintop peak, Commander Ryan and the remaining survivors of the RWI *Orion* makes their way to an abandoned communications outpost.

Jack then goes to the hangar while Fin looks for material in some cargo containers. Jack finds the shield generator and after a brief test he grinds it. After examining the other ships they wonder how the Shadows got access to RWI technology. The partially disassembled Raven in the hangar is actually in decent conditions so Jack pilots it out. However due to the amount of thrusters missing it can't fly and the duo uses the Wyvern to bring it on the Helicarrier.

While Fin looks in the various container in the Hangar and finds a new rifle Jack checks the cell block but finds nothing. They then load the Wyvern on the Helicarrier and get on board where they start making plans for their new Raven. The Helicarriertakes off and they begin the trip back to the base.

After a long descent Jack lands the Helicarrier on the lake and then uses the Wyvern to get the Raven in front of the base and lands. They begin to empty the containers on the Helicarrier but then decide to move it near the base before continuing.
The Artifact

## The Artifact

### Abilities

Strong Gravimetric FieldLow-level broadcasting of Data

### Status

Destroyed (remaining fragments with Shadows)

**The Artifact** was a monolith created from unknown origins and was found by the RWI *Discovery*. The Artifact was fought over by Red Wood Industries, The Shadows, and a member of the Galactic Council, Dr. Isaac Ward.

## History

### Pre Planet Wars

The Artifactafter its initial recovery by the crew of the RWI Discovery was brought to Epsilon Base. Grand Admiral Jack Roberts was supposed to arrive on board of the RWI Eclipse to bring it to RWI laboratories for further studies. However the base was attacked by the Shadows, most of the ship present were destroyed while the RWI Eclipse, with the artifact in its cargo bay, and the RWI Orion made a random jump ending on an unknown planet.

### Planet Wars

After the RWI Eclipse crashed on Planet X38, the Artifact was found by Dr. Isaac Ward under the debries and took it to his research base. Months later the signals that the Artifact send at all times were received by Grand Admiral Roberts and Captain Kazz. In the end it was a trap orchestrated by Ward and the Shadows to lure the two RWI officers in a trap. After Ward was killed by Jack and the Artifact was taken by the shadows, it was loaded on a shuttle and due to the sudden arrival of the RWI Serenity and Hellfire Squadron causing the Shadow Corvette to get damaged and crash it went directly to the Command Carrier. The Artifact was still onboard the carrier when it was rammed by Venom on the Helicarrier and destroyed. The Artifact itself was destroyed and its pieces were recovered by the Shadows.

The V203 fighter's first operational engagement was against a pirate alliance ship that attacked the RWI *Serenity*. The well-timed intervention made by Hellfire Squadron assisted in the destruction of the pirate vessel and prevented further damage to the *Serenity*'s hull.

### Planet Wars

It was shown that the V203 fighter was also capable of atmospheric entry as the *Serenity* deployed Hellfire Squadron over Planet X38 in provide aerial support to for Grand Admiral Jack Roberts and Captain Ryan "Venom" Kazz against several Shadow fighters and ground troops.

The next major engagement for the V203 was against the Shadow squadrons escorting the Shadow Carrier to the *Serenity*'s current location (namely the former location of Jack's Base and RWI *Eclipse* crash site). While the V203 fighter was superior against the Shadow fighter one-on-one, the sheer number of enemy fighters whittled down Hellfire squadron to half-strength. Luckily the captured helicarrier managed to arrive and assist the remaining members of Hellfire squadron.

#### Post-Planet Wars

The two remaining V203 fighters were still attached to the *Serenity* two months after the events on Planet X38.

Jack's Base

**Jack's Base** was established near the RWI *Eclipse*crash site.

## History

The base was originally established by Grand Admiral Jack Roberts for the purpose of setting up a communication antenna in order to contact RWI personnel. However, as time progressed on the Earth-Like planet, the base was slowly changed to include defensive weaponry and landing areas for ships and vehicles in order to combat Shadow forces. Some of the known occupants were Finbar and Venom.

## Destruction

Due to the continued resilience made by Jack and Finbar, along with losing the *Ardent Moon* and Captain "Venom" Kazz, the Shadow Man ordered shadow forces on the planet to eliminate them. Once the attack started, the base's defensive weaponry managed to repel Shadow fighters and their helicarrier. Unfortunately, due to a lack of air power and overwhelming forces, the base was evacuated and, to Jack, Finbar and Venom, subsequently destroyed along with RWI *Eclipse*.

### Post-Destruction

After the attack on Jack's Base by the Shadow Commander, the RWI *Eclipse*, which failed to self destruct, was captured and slowly restored by Shadow forces. The remains of the base was used to create landing platforms for Shadow fighters and their personnel.
