Charles T Coram

**Charles T Coram** is a character that features in The Brick Satellite. Charles is the governor of Township Number Nine. He is played by David Zack.

## Background

Charles is a former soldier and member of British parliament and had big plans for his career trajectory. However, he was then assigned as governor of Township Number Nine in British Guiana by King William IV. When John Herschel and Anna Hanover arrive at the Township in order to begin construction of the Brick Satellite, Charles was irritated but became much angrier when Herschel left, leaving Anna in charge.

## The Brick Satellite

Upon Herschel's return to Township Number Nine, Charles is annoyed and irritated by the restarting of production on the Brick Satellite. He decides to attempt to sabotage the project by contaminating the clay the bricks are made from with lime and damaging the flywheels.

Despite his attempted sabotage, the production of the satellite is complete and Charles is invited to speak but begins insulting the satellite but is cut off. Charles then leaves the township.

Charles later returns with a team of mercenaries to attack the township and destroy the satellite. Charles then threatens Herschel and Anna with a gun and is about to kill them when he's knocked out by Rose Stratford with a printing press plate.

## Personality and Traits

Charles does not regard the sciences and the citizens he serves very highly and this has left him ostracized and dangerously close to his breaking point.

## Relationships

### Anna Hanover

Anna Hanover is Charles' enemy. After being assigned as governor of Township Number Nine, Charles had a number of ideas for what he wanted to use the land in the township for and viewed the arrival of the scientists as a hindrance to this. While Charles initially tolerated the scientists, Herschel leaving Anna in charge of the satellite project caused Charles to become angry with the project as he finds Anna incredibly irritating and less capable due to her being a woman. This causes Charles to begin to resent Anna, causing him to want her dead.

### John Herschel

John Herschel is Charles' enemy. Much like with Anna, Charles is irritated with Herschel as he views the arrival of the scientists as a hindrance to this. Charles initially tolerated the scientists as he had respect for Herschel and was informed to allow him to do his work by the monarchy. Charles' relationship with Herschel is greatly influenced by Herschel being a man as Charles has more respect for him than he does for his female counterparts. Despite this, ultimately Charles hates Herschel and still wants him dead.

Art by Jackie Franco

**The Traveler** is a character in Pulp Musicals. She is an ethereal being that has some connection to Margaret and the Radiance. Her first appearance was in The Brick Satellite and she played by Kim Whalen.

## The Brick Satellite

The Traveler first appears in The Brick Satellite singing at the edge of a lake. It is here that she is approached by Margaret Cavendish. The Traveler begins talking to Margaret about their home and says that it's nice to see Margaret again. Margaret is deeply confused by this and asks The Traveler who she is. She is confused by Margaret's lack of memories and attempts to get her to remember her power by getting her to turn a branch into gold. Margaret begs The Traveler for answers but she tells Margaret she can't give her them yet, which upsets her. The woman then tells Margaret that she can call her The Traveler.

Margaret and The Traveler are then interrupted by Anna, Rose, Samuel and John who begin asking questions about what has happened to the satellite. Margaret asks The Traveler if she's going to get some answers to her questions. The Traveler helps Margaret to realize that she is no longer alone in the world and this prompts Margaret to inform Samuel and Rose that she forgives them. Margaret then asks The Traveler if she's able to help the group get home and The Traveler agrees. Once the group is ready, Samuel, Rose, Margaret and John are transported back to Earth.

## Trivia

* Not even the Patreon knew who would play the Traveler -- Matt Dahan kept it a mystery from everyone except the cast.

## Lyrics

**Chorus:**

Great Astronomical Discoveries

Lately made by Sir John Herschel

At the Cape of Good Hope

Continued from last week's Sun

**Rose:**

If you didn’t have time to wrap your head

Around a lunar forest or flower bed

Certainly a pyramid would make you quake

But John pressed on, make no mistake

**Samuel:**

All along the base of a mountain range

Our hero spotted something that was truly strange

Grazing in the fields of the valley below

Were creatures similar to buffalo

**Rose, spoken:**

Buffalo?

**Samuel, spoken:**

Yeah, let's start with buffalo

**Rose, spoken:**

Okay...

**Chorus:**

Oh, sir (Sir)

John (Sir John)

Herschel saw a buffalo

There's life (Life)

On (Life on)

The moon, and it’s quite a show

**Samuel:**

His list grew long with flocks of birds

Lunar fish and antelopes movin’ in herds

“All new species,” Herschel said

“But no way does it end with quadrupeds”

**Rose and Chorus:**

Oh, what do you know

**Rose:**

He was right again

Even though the creatures didn’t look like men

Similar to sphinx lounging on the Nile

Animals combined in many styles

**Samuel:**

Some wouldn't hesitate to call them monsters

**Rose and Samuel:**

As we often label things that we don’t understand

But if you saw the way

That they carried their young

In their arms

**Chorus:**

Like humans do

**Rose: and Samuel:**

The way they built fires

To keep warm

**Chorus:**

Like humans do

**Rose and Samuel:**

If it had been you

Looking through that telescope

**Margaret:**

You would have said that it was beautiful

**Chorus:**

But, who (Who)

Made (Who made)

Who made all the pyramids

You don’t (Don't)

Say (Say)

It was something that these creatures did

**Rose, spoken:**

Ending the journal entry here would be cruel

**Samuel, spoken:**

You're right, it would be awful

**Rose, spoken:**

To make them wait another week to find out what happens?

**Samuel, spoken:**

There would certainly be a riot

**Rose. spoken:**

…Let's do it

Twelve Million Bricks

**Twelve Million Bricks** is the seventh song from The Brick Satellite sung by James Tolbert as Samuel Stratford, Mariah Rose Faith Casillas as Rose Stratford, Jaime Lyn Beatty as Anna Hanover, Curt Mega as John Herschel and Natalie Llerena as Margaret Cavendish. It is the seventh track on the soundtrack album and was written by Matt Dahan.

## Lyrics

**Samuel:**

Great Astronomical Discoveries

Was published too soon

**Rose, Samuel:**

John Herschel

Did not build a telescope

He built a moon

**Anna, spoken:**

What do they mean by that?

**Herschel, spoken:**

Nothing. The Stratfords have very active imaginations

**Anna, spoken:**

Perfect, we could use people like them! Okay listen up…

**(sung)**

Twelve million bricks

Is what it takes to build a satellite

Twelve million bricks

Until we soar

Twelve million bricks

Require lots of mortar, am I right

And we still need to

Make one million more

**Herschel:**

What’s been going on herе in Township Number Nine

The lеtters that you sent assured me everything was fine

Work’s gone on for years, yet the sphere is incomplete

Tell me what you need, we’ve come too far now to retreat

**Anna:**

The flywheels are always on the fritz

It takes a crowd to keep our slingshot intact

If they cease to run, our satellite weighs a ton

We wouldn’t have the energy to budge it

Then a number of our bricks began to fracture

It was something in the clay found on our shores

Things had to be refined, all of this took time

And now we’re running slightly over budget

**Herschel, spoken:**

I see what you did, there

**Rose, sung:**

Twelve million bricks

Is what it takes to build a satellite

Twelve million bricks

Until we rise

**Samuel:**

Twelve million bricks

Of course, cannot be forged overnight

But I will help you

Build until it flies

**Anna, spoken:**

We’ll take all the help we can get. By the way do you know anything about physics?

**Rose, sung:**

Newtonian mechanics

Thermodynamics

Where do we start?

**Anna, spoken:**

Be still, my heart!

**Herschel, sung:**

We had two hundred thousand pounds when we started

How much more is needed for the labor and brick

**Anna:**

Another thirty

**Herschel:**

I’m not sure it can be done before the rainy season comes

**Margaret:**

Would US dollars do the trick

**All:**

(gasps)

**Margaret:**

I had a fortune in New York

I brought all that I could

By how you just reacted

I’m guessing my instincts were good

I see it in your face

To me, belief is treasured

Your soul is in that satellite

And faith like that cannot be measured

I’ll give you what you need

Say the word, and we’re agreed

**Anna, spoken:**

Can I hug you? Come on, bring it in

**All, sung:**

Twelve million bricks

Is what it takes to build a satellite

Twelve million bricks

Until we fly

Twelve million bricks

**Anna:**

We can begin tonight

**Rose:**

Let’s roll up our sleeves

**Margaret:**

Let’s go and tell the town

**Herschel:**

Here’s another headline

Samuel, write this down

**All:**

Twelve million bricks

Light up the sky

**Samuel:**

Between our breaths

Beyond our home

Between our hands

Beyond what's known

Let that be the ship

That we journey on

Let that be our goal

Let that be our bond

**Rose:**

Between our words

Beyond our wars

Between our walls

Beyond our shores

Let that be Polaris

On every dawn

Let that be our goal

Let that be our bond

**Rose, Samuel and John:**

The way is long, and in the end

You may break and you may bend

But what's between and what's beyond

Will help you sail again

**John:**

Between our hearts

Beyond the stars

Between our ears

Beyond this world of ours

Never stop searching

Between and beyond

Let that be our faith

Let that be our bond

**(spoken)**

The feeling doesn’t have to end just because the moment does

**Thomas, spoken:**

But where do I start?

**Rose, spoken:**

Use your imagination, Thomas

**Rose, Samuel and John:**

Never stop searching

Between and beyond

**John:**

Let that be our faith

**Rose and Samuel:**

Let that be our faith

**Rose, Samuel and John:**

Let that be our bond

**Thomas, spoken:**

One more thing - why didn’t you expose the hoax?

**Samuel, spoken:**

Rose must have hit him on the head harder than I thought

**Rose, spoken:**

And I'd do it again

**John, spoken:**

I lied because I believe the Stratfords are onto something. (beat) I recently witnessed a phenomenon that challenges what is fact and what is fiction. Something - someone - that merits a closer look

## Lyrics

**Margaret:**

I will find my way there

I will build a bridge across the stars

And explore the galaxy

‘Cause when we look to the sky

**Magaret and Samuel:**

We are looking inside

**Margaret, spoken:**

Samuel

**Samuel:**

I knew that I would find you on the roof

Margaret

Having conversations with the moon

**Margaret:**

Why are you here

**Samuel:**

I wanted to apologize

I promise, from now on, no more lies

**Margaret:**

I knew that you would find me on the roof

Samuel

Asking me for something I can’t give

**Samuel:**

Forgiveness

**Margaret:**

Please

For once, I let myself bеlieve

Now let mе be and let me grieve

**Margaret:** **(counterpoint)**

For the whisper in a daydream

The melody that lingers

The face that you recognize

Impossible to forget

**Samuel:** **(counterpoint)**

A single chair next to the window

A sprawling view of the Atlantic

A story unwritten

Impossible to forget

**Samuel:**

I knew that I would find you on the roof

Margaret

**Magaret and Samuel:**

Looking for a light in all the dark

**Margaret:**

It felt so close

**Samuel:**

I still can’t tell you how it ends

But I promise, from now on, you have friends

**(spoken)**

I am so sorry, Margaret. About the deception, your phantom pain-

**Margaret, spoken:**

You are fortunate to have your sister, Samuel. Someone who has been there for everything, who shares your philosophies and passions. Family. You will never truly be alone in this life

**Samuel, spoken:**

She's the wind in my sails and a harbor in the storm. I'd have crashed into the rocks long ago if it wasn't for her

**Margaret, spoken:**

Spoken like a true author. That kind of trust is precious, Samuel. I don’t know if I will be able to trust you or your sister ever again. Yet in this deception, a truth was revealed

**Margaret, spoken: (radiates)**

There is something out there. Something exciting, something brave. Something uncanny and astonishing and familiar. I don’t know what's happening or what's awakening inside of me, but it all started when I read Great Astronomical Discoveries. It all started when I met you

Is It True? (Reprise)

**Is It True? (Reprise)** is the tenth song from The Great Moon Hoax sung by Matt Dahan as Narrator, Tony Gonzalez as Chester Thomas, James Tolbert as Samuel Stratford and Curt Mega as Benjamin Park and the Chorus. It is the tenth track on the soundtrack album and was written by Matt Dahan.

## Lyrics

**Narrator:**

One week after the Stratford twins

Changed the phase of the moon

A second article hits the stands

And sent the city in to a dizzying

Frenzy, such a major win

Even Thomas changed his tune

The Sun’s competitors all demand

An explanation

**Reporter 1:**

Chester Thomas

Is it true?

**Thomas:**

Yes, I'm telling you

Yes, I'm telling you

Herschel sent our Samuel all his notes

He's right there

**Reporter 2:**

Samuel, Samuel

Is there proof?

**Samuel:**

Yes, undoubtedly

Yes, undoubtedly

My source is presently

The foremost authority

In the field of astronomy

**Reporters:**

That’s not fair

That’s not fair

**Thomas:**

I don't care

Your jealousy is unbecoming

Surely, you'd agree

That this is a victory for our planet

You're just mad it was published by me

I won't lose sleep

If you call it a lie

There's life up upon the moon

All of us have bigger fish to fry

**Chorus:**

**(reacts)**

**Narrator:**

Thomas and Samuel leave

Without spotting

In the shadows, one remains

He's plotting

He works for the New York Sentinel

Sent by rivals of the Sun

Sent to find a smoking gun

Even if there isn't one

This sunrise was so abrupt

Surely someone was corrupt

Now his job is to disrupt

**Samuel:**

Benjamin

**Benjamin:**

I barely see you

Tell me, Samuel

Where have you been hiding?

**Samuel:**

Blame our boss

He keeps me busy

This time without constantly deriding

Rose has been relentless

I swear she has not slept in a week

She's too busy on Luna

When she’s writing, she’s at her peak

Mom and Dad would be amazed

Side by side, working in a blaze

Thomas even gave me a raise

Could these be ‘the good old days’?

**Benjamin, spoken:**

Oh - that’s great

**Samuel, spoken:**

He didn’t give you a raise?

**Benjamin, spoken:**

No

**Samuel, spoken:**

I'm sure it will come, Benjamin. This is your moment, too

**Benjamin, spoken:**

Thanks, Samuel. See you later?

Margaret and the Moon

**Margaret and the Moon** is the twelfth song from The Great Moon Hoax sung by Matt Dahan as Narrator, James Tolbert as Samuel Stratford, and Natalie Llerena as Margaret Cavendish. It is the twelfth track on the soundtrack album and was written by Matt Dahan.

## Lyrics

**Narrator:**

Margaret Cavendish

Lived in the Westchester Hotel

There, she set the Stratfords up

Now they had a pad as well

All expenses paid

Here, protected by security

On the building’s highest floor

Usually not the ones for charity

Rose and Samuel stayed

When she opened her door

They saw models of planets spinning

Shelves with books to the ceiling

Margaret's room was like a museum

Smart and impeccably kept

She had maps of the Earth and sky

Lavishly hanging in golden frames

Rose believed this place to be heaven

And read until she slept

A single chair next to the window

A sprawling view of the Atlantic

A spiral stairway to the rooftop

Samuel followed Margaret

The moon was shining

Softly through the clouds

Margaret started to cry

**Margaret, spoken:**

Do you know what ‘phantom pain’ is?

**Samuel, spoken:**

I'm afraid not

**Margaret, spoken:**

It’s a medical condition where a patient feels pain in an area that’s been amputated. New studies have shown that this condition can last for years

**Samuel, spoken:**

Why are you telling me this?

**Margaret, spoken:**

Because it's the best way to describe how I've felt my entire life. Something inside me was lost long ago, Mr. Stratford. What, exactly, I do not know

**Samuel, spoken:**

Is that why you cry?

**Margaret:**

I don’t cry because I mourn

I don’t cry because I’m scared

I cry because it’s possible...

I've always felt connected to the moon

As if it wasn’t that far

Like it hung closer to me than anybody

Close enough to whisper

She's never spoken to me this way

We both live privately

There are times that I feel

Two-hundred thousand miles away

Just like her

As if I'm staring at the world from a distance

Can't you see me?

Can't you see me reaching out?

Am I not one of your own?

We're together, but alone

We would have a staring contests

Like we were children

Like we are in this moment

And I would never cease to be the first to blink

Until now

Until now

Until now

I don’t know what this means for the world

But I know what it means to me

If something so mysterious can be solved

Then perhaps my mystery seems small

Maybe I'll have my answers soon

I cry because it’s possible

My truth is out there

Somewhere between the earth and the moon

**Narrator:**

Margaret smiled with her eyes

Then turned and walked away

Samuel bowed his head

Unsure of what to say

The hope in her voice

Like moonlight through a cloud

Tender and strong

Distant and loud

Samuel was curious

Samuel was ashamed

Aldorria

"So you're telling me, we can grow *twice* the amount we were making before? This is going to be wonderful!" -Green probably

### Overview

Aldorria is an island district off the south east coast of Scarlettia and is an enclave of culture, tax breaks, and draft dodging. The main island is primarily a large plantation scale farming empire owned and operated by the Aldorrian Wine Company. 99.9% of all alchohol products are produces here before being shipping to Scarlettesia and Nobellia to later be sold to the rest of the nation. The island has been mostly isolated from the mainland until very recently and so its people have formed their own sub-cultures and traditions.

### Economy

Aldorria holds the largest artisan goods industry in the empire, producing 99% of all alchohol, cheese, jams, jellies, and drugs. Since 2400 the districts vast farmland has been adminsitered by the Aldorrian Wine Company (AWC) under the leadership of Commander Green. Aldorria is the third wealthest district behind Lykovo, and with little development in the industry its likely this will remain the same.

### Government

Aldorria serves as the site for one of the Naval Bases of the Scarlettian Royal Navy, but has chosen to distance itself from military cooperation and policy likely due to AWC employees being exempt from many taxes and the draft. It has hosted 3 different councilors,

* Jambon 2403-2405
* Green 2405-2407
* Loxus 2407-2409

### War History

Aldorria became a site of major battle throught the War for Independance, because of its position in the far east it was the primary landing site of almost all WR invasions.

* The invasion of the mainland 2403
* The artificial islands 2404
* The attack of the faltered 2408
Aldorrian Wine Company

The Aldorrian Wine Company, AWC, or just the Wine Company, is an alcoholics producer based in Aldorria and the sole producer of alcohol in Scarlettia. Founded by GreenTea, or William Rogers, it is one of the largest companies in Scarlettia and a major source of income for the District of Aldorria. It is also the parent company of the Aldorrian Arms Company (CTE).

### History

I don't really remember the history of the Aldorrian Wine Company. - Green

### Agriculture

All of the Aldorrian Wine Company's products are produced in Aldorria. Aldorria is the only district to produce the two legal drugs of Scarlettesia, weed, and cocaine. These black exports are also managed by the AWC. The AWC also owns nearly 60% of the District of Aldorria which has been re-purposed for farming, both for alcohol and for food products. The Aldorrian Agricultural Reserves contain (not in order by land area):

* Wine Fields
* Grain Fields [Beer, Whiskey, etc]
* Tropical Crop Fields [Tequila, Rum, etc]
* Potato Fields
* Rice Fields
* Coffee Fields
* Rice Fields
* Chocolate Fields
* Weed Fields
* Cocaine Fields

The Aldorrian Wine Company also oversees a wide-scale fishing operation in Northeast Aldorria.

### **Contributions**

The Aldorrian Wine Company has been known to contribute some of its passive income to other projects such as the Aldorrian Arms Company and Schaff (a military robotics producer).

### **Trivia**

* There has been some confusion about whether the AWC is government-owned or privately-owned, but most agree it is government-owned.
* The Aldorrian Wine Company is the only company (that is known) that oversees the production of the two legal drugs in Scarlettesia.
The Evergreen Republic

The Evergreen Republic, is a globe spanning republic with land on 3/5 continents on the planet. The islands were originally used as a prison of the Wynter Regime, in 2400 the people declared independence electing Scarlett Evergreen as their first president and forming the first Scarlettian Council. In 2405 following years of ineffective governance the Scarlettian Council voted almost unanimously to promote the house of Evergreen to the position of imperial court, granted full executive power within the New Empire. The war for independence raged for 9 years snowballing into a world wide conflict as nations began throwing their weight behind one side or the other for their own gain. In 2413 following years of political instability around its colonial holdings and under pressure by a minority coup, President Lilith Evergreen authorized a state of emergency allowing Scarlett to enact a new constitution, and declaring the Evergreen Republic.
The Great War

The Great War was a global war that extended from the Scarlettian War of Independence. The war went global in 2404 and it ended in 2409. It involved every Non-American Country on the planet. 2 alliances were formed: the Anti Wynter Regime Pact, and the Coalition. The 2 military pacts engaged each other in Total War, throwing the entire weight of their economies, scientific capabilites, and industrial capacity behind the war effort. The nations used Strategic Bombing, Nuclear attacks, Space Bombardment and Terror Tactics attacking civilian and military targets alike. By the end of the war over 100 million civilian and military personel had been killed, some estimates put that number up to 130 million or higher. The majority of these deaths were civilian. Most of the death came from the Nuclear Engagement near the start of the war and the concentrated Bombing of Atarashi and the WR at the later parts of the War. As many as 4 million people died from the Atarashi attrocities and war crimes in Lyonia and Nova Zemlija alone.

The war is generally considered to have began after the Battle of the Gulf when multiple nations across the planet joined ether the Scarlettians or the WR in conflict. Others place the war at the start of the Scarlettian, WR conflict or the start of the Island Campaign.

## Causes of War

After initial hostilities on the Island of Scarlettia against occupying Wynter Regime forces came to a close with the Invasion of Hearst, the WR began planning their counter attack. Preparing multiple offensive operations to attempt to break the new nation, and regain control of the region.

## Course of the War

### The war begins

After initial successes of the Scarlettian Republic, the WR began a large scale areal bombing campaign in 2401 from the island of Aldorria, still under WR control. This proved devastating for the Republic, hammering their already weak air capabilities, and crippling industrial centers. It would not be until the end of 2402 that successful covert operations, organization of local militant groups, and a brutal guerilla campaign that these operation were forced to stop with the Republic's capture of Aldorria.

#### The Island Campaign

With the loss of Aldorria to Republican forces, the WR was forced on the defensive for a short period while they attempted to regain a foot hold in the region. As the Scarlettian Navy focused on clearing out the Scarlettian Gulf of any surface ships, submarines, and small vessels were able to slip by. This gave the WR the opportunity to build multiple artifical islands, in the Scarlettian Gulf. These proved vital for WR operations through 2403, as they allowed for rapid deployment of naval and air forces within Scarlettian Waters. This greatly crippled the Republics shipping, and additionally allowed air strikes on civilian targets to increase again.
Hearst

"The shittiest district to breathe." -Scarlet Evergreen

### Overview

Hearst is an island district off the South West coast of main Scarlettia serving as the primary heart of heavy industry for the nation, just ahead of Lykovo. Islands in the gulf serve as key naval and air bases for defense of the nation and have proved vital for multiple military operations. Due to the high industrial presence in the district pollution and air quality remain hot topics, while citizens begin wearing masks to breathe clearly councilors still refuse to act.
Neko

### **The Creation of the *Homo Felidae-Mutatio* (Cat People, Nekos)**

The *Homo Felidae-Mutatio* species was created in the year 2092 as the first genetically modified human classified as its own species. They were originally created as a test of abilities and as a specialized request. The foundation responsible for creating the species was a small and fairly new group focused on bioengineering and some of the first models for the "Civilian Androids" which at the time were not the main focus. The name being, The Alwell Foundation. Being funded by a group of very wealthy businessmen who had a particular interest in *Homo Felidae-Mutatio*. After the first successful batch was completed they were all bought up by the recently mentioned wealthy businessmen. Who used them as a sort of "legal slave" as the species did not have any rights and were considered to be a product produced by a company. For a while, however, the existence of *Homo Felidae-Mutatio* remained a secret among the rich elite. It is unknown the exact atrocities that were committed during this period, however many survivors claimed regular abuse took place, sexual abuse seemed to be the most common. It did not take long however for the public to become informed of the existence of the *Homo Felidae-Mutatio* and the situation many of them were in.

### **Characteristics of *Homo Felidae-Mutatio***

The species possess very similar traits to regular humans. The only differences being, the existence of two cat ears on top of the head, a cattail, and sharper teeth. They also possess many non-visual new traits. Such as heightened vision and night vision, heightened agility and balance, and a faster reaction time.

*Homo Felidae-Mutatio* also holds a trait of a submissive nature, often choosing to find a leader or master to cling to. In their past, this would have been forced and a quite literal leader or master, however, post rights usually just falls under finding a significant other to fill the position.

### **Post-Rights for *Homo Felidae-Mutatio***

After the existence of the species was made known to the general public, massive freedom movements and protests were held on behalf of the *Homo Felidae-Mutatio*. It is also this time that the name Neko was used and the generic "Cat people". Eventually, in the year 2122, the government was pressured into giving the Nekos full rights and launching investigations into the elites known to own Nekos. And the atrocities became international news. The company was originally responsible, Alwell. Was forced to relinquish its "ownership" over the Neko genes and not allowed to artificially produce any more but otherwise was not blamed and did not receive much negative attention.

A population boom of Nekos also took place after this as they became quite popular soulmates.
Wynter Regime

The WR or Wynter Regime was a large totalitarian state thatr existed from 2142-2409. The economy was extremely centralized and the freedom of speech and the press did not exist. The nation was a federated entity with the nation being split between many districts ran by Magisters whom had control over their districts economies, structures and information allowed out.
A redaction

### Overview

A redaction is an event that never was. Although many may remember these events either partially or fully, it is observed fact that they never happened. These typically manifest in large scale events related to nations, their military, diplomacy and their industrial development, although smaller scale cases have arisen in events such as business closures, and even certain individuals existence. Although the phenomenon is widely reported, there is no consensus on what causes these events.

### Possible Causes

Some theorize it to be similar to the Mandela Effect, although the last case was reported in 2237 when they added the monocle to the monopoly man to better fit common perception, some suspect this was not the final misconception and that it has been able to survive and proliferate into the modern day. Others suggestion a form of Mass Psychogenic Illness that forces people to believe that an event must have happened, lest it destroy their perception of reality, past and present. More fringe groups hypothesize about cosmic events, however no definitive conclusions have ever been made. Regardless of their origin at present, although annoying for some individuals, Redactions appear to be relatively harmless.

### Documented Events

Some of the most common examples of redaction relate to:

* The reformation of the Scarlettian navy in 2203
* General Devin's coup of 2206
* General Devin's second coup of 2207
* The destruction of the Scarlettian Navy in ~2208

Model-D Robots

"[Quote during release]" -Lilith Evergreen

## Overview

A series of autonomous drones created by L&L for a wide arrange of work, from surveillance to construction. They we're designed to be the "perfect compliment to an L&L Model-T." They ended up becoming wildly popular for independent work in surveillance and deliveries very shortly after their introduction but still meet fierce competition by Rando Corp.

## Units

### The Model D-1

THe Model D-1 is a small, compact, light aerial autonomous machine, capable of sustained flight for over 4 hours, and has a top speed of 20 miles per hour. They were first released in 2207 after market share for L&L's Model-T's began to decline in favor of Rando Corp's line of similar automatons. Seeing success initially in industrial applications and warehouses by 2208 they had been adopted by the Scarlettian Ministry of Communications as a flagship for package delivery. Although they were designed to be capable of surveillance its loud noise, cheap design, and poor optics made it sub-optimal for this task in most applications, and Rando Corp continued to see domination in this department.
