The **Titan Inclusive**, more commonly referred to as the **Titans** or the **Inclusive**, is a fan-faction being created by Crj400 and GaryGibbon. Jason Zombolt was in charge, but he cracked and ran for the hills! Formerly a Quantum faction, now it's an Annihilation faction.

## Background

Outside the Titan Inclusive, little is known about Prometheus as a person. Reports vary wildly about his real name, age, ethnicity, and gender. However, those who know more know thus. Prometheus was born in England, in 1932. His parents were relatively wealthy and had enough money to provide him with a world-class education. However, this was not the greatest influence on him as a person, for both of his parents shared one thing: paranoia. When not at boarding school, Prometheus was raised on conspiracy theories, wild speculation, and urban legends. The Tungska event, caused by Tesla's death ray. The ancient Bavarian Illuminati, still living strong in secret. An Alien invasion, infiltrating and guiding society. Prometheus soon began to see conspiracy and outside manipulation in everything and everyone he met, no matter how impossible. The people he met on the street, no matter how inconspicuous, could be MIB, alien reptiles, or insane cultists. And he was determined to solve this.

### Bringing Knowledge to Mankind

In his teenage years, Prometheus set up his own radio station, to call the populace into revolt against their shadowy overlords. It was then that he took his name, to protect himself and those around him from retaliation. For years, he broadcast in secret, gaining an audience of loyal listeners. But he came to realise: no one was fighting back. The people, like sheep, had been cowed into submission and brainwashed with misinformation. They would never fight back. There was only one person he knew who had the knowledge, skills, and will to fight back: himself. And he would fight them on new terms.

Shortly after finishing university with honours, Prometheus inherited his entire family's fortune after their mysterious death (they had been investigating whether the long-dead 'Order of the Talon' had created a surviving splinter branch). With this money, and his business expertise, he formed his own company, Zone Break Industries. The idea was simple: Zone Break Industries would be a massive security company, in public keeping large corporations and people safe, while in secret searching for proof, any shred of evidence, that would unravel the hidden, world-spanning conspiracies.

### Eye of the Gods

Within a few years, Zone Break Industries had become a massive success. Despite what were, by then, Prometheus' well-known eccentricities, he was an incredible businessman and Zone Break Industries genuinely did a good, thorough job guarding areas they were hired to protect. Zone Break Industries became even more successful when the Allies decided to make Zone Break Industries the (unofficial) security installation company for low-level Allied facilities. While many critics point out that this was simply because Zone Break Industries was the only major security firm not currently owned by the Syndicate, it has been pointed out that the job done by Zone Break Industries has been more than adequate, with minimal and infrequent security breaches.

But hidden from the public, there was another side to Zone Break Industries. A team of 'investigators', mostly composed of Prometheus' radio broadcasts, worked. This group had two jobs: first, to track down the secrets being hidden from the public, and second, to recruit the best and brightest that had not been tainted by the paranoia of the week. For you see, it was now that Prometheus had his vision: the world had been corrupted, twisted to its core by time travelers, mind control drugs in the water, alien broadcasts. Prometheus decided to collect together all the great minds and skilled persons that had yet to be corrupted and form a resistance. These 'Titans of Mankind' would form an inclusive group, to take back control of mankind, and lead it to the greatness it had been denied by its twisted overlords. But nowhere on Earth would be safe: there was only one place beyond the reach of any manipulation or infiltration. Space.

### A Blind Eye

Due to the low number of people who could possibly pass Prometheus' paranoid standards for permission into his inclusive (watching the official news alone was considered a 'significant point against inclusion'), he had to turn a blind eye to character flaws. While a few of his members genuinely believed in Prometheus' vision, Prometheus himself seemed unable to understand that many of his members were sociopathic, or worse. Any severe breaches in conduct, he reasoned away: it was an attack against a broken system controlled by shadowy outside figures and weakened their grip on mankind. How could this be considered wrong? As the actions of his inclusive became worse, Prometheus seemed to become more and more willing to explain away their actions and defend their members.

To make things worse, Prometheus could not regulate the entire inclusive himself, and so split control of different areas among his most trusted members. This so-called 'Majestic Six' began to recruit their own members as a fighting force, seized control of land through underhanded means, and began to develop their own new technologies. Slowly, the 'Titans of Mankind' became a force of their own. A force that was sliding more and more into villainy by the day. Sliding into something even worse, maybe: super-villainy.

The Titan Inclusive was born.

## Gameplay Style and Development

The Inclusive focuses on two main traits above all else. One is to stay alive, as their numbers are remarkably small, and the second is to launch so much lead that their numbers look 10 times larger.

### Build Mechanic

The Titans Andromeda Station, their Construction Yard equivalent, can only build add-on and Starlight Mobile Charge Stations, the latter of which can deploy to permanently transform into a Titan building. Defences are made at structures that have the defence add-on, and are built outside. To access more the rest of their tier 3 units, you need to have a branch add-on for the respective production structure.

### Power Mechanic

The Inclusive uses Starlight Mobile Charge Stations to harness ion energy and Ion Pylons to expand their bases. Compared to the power generation of other factions the Inclusives power grid is decentralised, so if they lose all of their generators in one area only the buildings in that area shuts down, while the other bases/outpost with still function, but this also means that each expansion must have its own generator to power it. Note that when the Starlight Mobile Charge Stations transforms into a structure, they don't provide power or tech.

### Tier Mechanic

The Titan tier mechanic is based on the surplus power in the build area, as buildings and defenses need more power to tier up. This means that you can bring along extra Starlight Mobile Charge Stations to boost an expansion to higher tiers, although this means that you have to protect your Starlight Mobile Charge Stations and if the power drops the buildings and defences will revert to its previous tier.

### Charge Mechanic

Many Titan weapons consume a lot of ammunition or energy, more than many can actually carry. Units rely on Starlight Mobile Charging Stations for refills, though Ion Pylons and certain protocols can recharge them as well... With the exception of infantry and non-Ionocraft aircraft almost all tier 2 and higher units consume charge when firing their weapons as well as certain abilities. Units without charge are unable to shoot back and may have their secondaries disabled as well depending on their function. They are still mobile however, able to run away or run over people.

## Units & Structures

### Death Traps

Unlike their defenses. The Titans death traps can be placed anywhere on the map, it’s build time proportional to the distance of a nearby Titan structure, but are rather fragile.

## Behind the Scenes

These guys are based off all the traditional SF/James Bond supervillains and their private armies. However, these villains also have some good in them, so long as it furthers their cause. To Space!
