Compass Species

## Summary

The Compasses are a highly advanced, aggressive alien species, extinct outside of human captivity. From testing subjects taken directly from their home planet, it was discovered that the species are highly advanced, instinctively aggressive and far more ancient than humans. They attacked Earth and the Colonies in 2615, inducing significant casualties (mostly in the human forces) on both sides.

## Known Biology

The captive specimens have been blood-dated at over 4,000,000 years old. Rigorous skin-layer testing shows that they are among the first generations of Compasses. It is known that, like humans, Compasses go through a childhood phase, where their bodies change. This phase lasts about 80 human years. Their bodies change very little for the rest of their lives, unless they are forcefully killed, which takes enormous effort. Captive specimens have shown little or no organic degradation, even over their incredibly long lifespans.
Lieutenant Ferox

“Your pathetic race will be all but a memory”

Lietenant Ferox, *Serendipity: Convergence*

Lieutenant Ferox was a Myriad lieutenant, and a major player in the UNE’s war with the Myriad. It was a favourite of the Foreteller Eternal, and one of the Hand of the Myriad’s top lieutenants. It was killed by Eve Ramirez in the city’s square, during the last days of the Alien occupation of the city.

## Biography

Lieutenant Ferox was born around 2419, 399 years before the UNE’s first contact with the Myriad. Little is known about its early life or first battles, other than that it quickly rose through the Myriad’s ranks, impressing the Foreteller Eternal.
Pneumaglev train

> **Pneumaglev trains, as they were more commonly known, combined maglev technology, which had existed since the early 21st century, with pneumatic thrust, which had only had all its glitches ironed out in the mid 24th century. They travelled at up to four thousand kilometres per hour, in hermetically sealed vacuum tunnels. Now, almost all planets used pneumaglev trains as their preferred affordable, environmentally neutral and energy-efficient method of transport.**
>
>

## Summary

the pneumaglev train is one of the top methods of planetary transport in the 34th Century, because of its affordability, efficiency, speed and ease of implementation. Pneumaglev technology combines maglev technology, which eliminates friction for rail travel, allowing for much higher speeds. This is combined with a hermetically sealed tube, which provides controlled thrust.

## Technology

The pneumaglev train is the intersection of two revolutionary innovations in the rail travel industry.

* Maglev technology, which eliminates track friction.
* Pneumatic rail travel, allowing for a train to use small ion engines to propel itself at up to 4,000 kmp/h.

Unified Earth Navy

## Summary

The Unified Earth Navy is the UEE’s Naval Force, commanding the largest fleets and most advanced weaponry and FTL technology in the Galaxy. It was founded in the closing years of the 22nd Century, during the presidency of Alberto Schwartz. Its primary base os on the moon Titan of Saturn in Sol.

## History

Founded in 2196, the UEN began to enforce the UEE’s rule across the few settled systems at the time. During the First Galactic War, the UEN battled against the militias of Tau Ceti, eventually winning the war after successfully deploying the Interstellar Naval Reserve Arm, and overwhelming the Revolutionists in Tau Ceti in 2212. Later, the UEN and INRA battled the Colonial Militia on the Outer Rim, this time losing the battle, along with three cruisers. This led to the formation of the AIC, or Alliance of Independent Colonies.
Octain Pokédex

"Octain. The region seen as "The Shithole", as opposed to Dessel being a perfect paradise. Little do Desselites know, the region is a shithole because of their beloved NEOtec's pollution and invasive species. Most native species to Octain have been hunted to extinction by the "failed experiments" NEOtec ships here. If one of their experiments goes wrong, their lab rats are just tossed into Octain. Not only that, our waters are polluted because of their illegal dumping. Thanks, NEOtec." -excerpt from an Octanian blog entry. The poster of the entry has not been seen since it has been posted.
Luna

**Mars**
 **Faction** | United Nations of Earth

Mars is a planetary colony in the Sol system, and the fourth planet from its parent star. It is the United Nations of Earth’s oldest colony, with the first city (New Horizons) established in 2042. It is the the second most populated planet in the Sol system, second only to the Throneworld of Earth.
M3260 Anaconda Assault Rifle

Versatile all-purpose weapon

- Unnamed UNE operative

The **Anaconda** is the backbone of UNE ground operations, effective both in and out of atmosphere. It is standard issue in most UNE missions, wielded as a primary weapon by Marines. It shoots short, energy-based rounds, incinerating flesh and low-grade body armour. It is partially effective against grade-1 shielding systems, including bodily shields and the like, but almost totally ineffective against grade-2 or grade-3 shields. It is manufactured by Vixen Dynamics for exclusive use by the UNE.

## Design

The M3260 Anaconda’s design follows a standard design for most handheld energy based assault rifles, being quite small for its level of power. It is 47 cm in length, 7 cm in width and 16 in height. It is charged by Universal-A power cells, a standard one of which carries 246 rounds. Due to the energy-based nature of the weapon, it does not need to reload.
United Nations of Earth

The United Nations of Earth was the primary governing entity of the Settled Galaxy between. Its currency was the UNEcr, also known as United Nations of Earth Credits. It governed ten colonies when at its peak, at the beginning of the 26th Century. The UNE was formed in the late 22nd Century, founded to govern the growing number of Human worlds.

## History

### Founding

The United Nations of Earth was formally founded in 2167 to regulate the now stable colonies. Its foundation was met with mixed reactions, with many colonists viewing it as an attempt to oppress and control them. Its other controversy was that several corporations, including CTC, Infinitech and newly formed neural networking corporation Synapse Technologies had each played a part in its founding, raising suspicions of corruption. Several recently built UNE offices on Mars, Titan and Luna were stormed, causing the UNE to impose strict security and mass surveillance on its citizens.

### Industrialisation of Mars

At the time when the UNE was founded, the New Horizons colony on Mars was under the supervision of the Colonial Trading Corporation. The UNE took formal control of the colony in 2167, the same year as its founding. At this point, Mars had been heavily industrialised, with ship-building and mining thriving, and its first Surface-Space Elevator under construction. Following the UNE’s adoption of the colony, both Vixen Dynamics and CTC maintained control of their mining facilities and shipyards, with a substantial tax being paid to the UNE.

### Universal adoption of UNEcr

The UNE also imposed its own internally traded currency on the rest of the colonies, forcing them to adopt the United Nations of Earth Credit as its currency in 2214. Owing to the many different currencies of the age’s economy, this switch caused the bankruptcy of millions, further souring the public opinion of the UNE, and its selective support of its partner corporations, who it allowed to exchange their current funds for UNEcr. The currency was, at the time, traded via cards and over the Net, before eventually switching to the currently used UNEcr Cartridges.

### Public Unrest

Due to the UNE Citizenship Controversy, and the decommissioning of the Leavsden Act, effectively permitting
Argos Orbital

**Argos Orbital** is a large space station in high orbit of **Nyra (Elysium II)**. Although it is an officially registered **Colonial Freehold** trade station, it has a strong reputation in the illegal drugs industry. So much so that the Colonial Freehold constructed its own orbital station to serve as a trade hub directly with Callythia on the surface.
Occupation of New Paris

Between 2618 and 2620, the Myriad occupied many cities on Earth, mostly massive military centres, or the densest regions of population. New Paris, overseen by Lieutenant Ferox, was taken down by the UNES Archangel, and all other occupations fell some time later. Some cities, such as new Paris, were reclaimed and largely rebuilt, while others like New Seattle and Hong Kong collapsed and were lost forever, being completely burned by Myriad Plasma Cannons, as was intended for every other city under occupation as well.
AgriSynth (Corporation)

“Keeping Humanity supplied”

- AgriSynth slogan

AgriSynth is the most powerful planetary farming corporation. It is based on the farming world of the same name in the Tau Ceti system, where it performs many of its largest operations. It is a subsidiary of the Colonial Resource Administration, who ship its resources throughout the Cradle. It produces several originally earth-borne crops such as Wheat, along with resources from throughout the Cradle such as Sirius Wartroot.

## History

#### Founding

The corporation was founded in 2339, by parent company Colonial Resource Administration, with the intention of industrialising the newly colonised Alpha Centauri A.
Mars Second Colonist Group (Biospan)

## Summary

In 2029, Alterra sent the first human crew to a semi-permanent habitat near Mars’s equator. Biospan intended to send crews to a permanent concrete habitat on the site of Alterra’s first colony. Compass intervention is thought to be one of the causes of the mission’s failure.

## Prior to mission

Biospan selected mainly younger colonists, the youngest being 16 (Madeline Mawson). The Exalt spacecraft was developed specifically to shuttle colonists from Earth to Mars. They were equipped with a rudimentary fusion drive for fast travel. The Exalt shuttles were set to depart from Biospan Launch Facility 1, on an undisclosed exact date.

## Compass intervention

On final approach to the Martian orbit, the crew noted gravitational disturbances on their Exalt’s instruments. Before blacking out, the crew reported a flash of green light, which is now thought to have been made by a Compass spacecraft disengaging from FTL. Upon waking up, the crew found their vessel in ruins, and later discovered a Compass encampment with a docked ship and several biomechanical components. Exalt-3 carried the only known survivors.
Compass hyperdrive

## History

Little is known about this obscure technology. The legendary crew of the IF 362-B4 reported being, in their description: ‘jumped to another place, as though through a wormhole’. Deeper analysis and IBA revealed that the crew were indeed correct. Oddly enough, their ships Universal Navigational Assistant recorded that they were at the same coordinates as Earth’s high orbit. This may indicate that the Compasses have mastered inter-dimensional travel. An obscure FTL research company known as ‘Challenger Galactic’ opened a project known as: Project Hesperus, and has done extensive work on the subject of reverse-engineering these drives, and even fitting human vessels with them, which was thought to have ended in destruction for most of the human vessels. One vessel disappeared inexplicably, its fate unknown to this day. Following the disastrous experiment, Challenger continued to research what they were tentatively referring to as ‘trans-galactic travel’. No more experiments were conducted, but extensive innovations were made to the technology, creating what may have meant intergalactic travel. According to the company’s salvaged records, another experiment went ahead, several months later, but no records of this exist on the GalCom, or Challenger’s private servers.
Alliance of Independent Colonies (AIC)

Alliance of Independent Colonies
 **System of Government** | Democracy

**The Alliance of Independent Colonies**, usually referred to as the **Alliance** or simply the **AIC**, was the fourth largest governing organisation in the Galaxy, behind the **United Nations of Earth**, the **Alterra Corporation** and the ubiquitous **Colonial Trading Corporation**, respectively. It mainly governed the Outer Colonies, but had later established a presence around **Procyon** and **Walter’s World**. Its system of government was to allow colonies to govern themselves entirely, but are bound, and each push towards a combined military and navy. The Alliance had a loose contract with the Alterra Corporation, who supplied much of the equipment for the Alliance Defence Force.

## History

### Founding

In 2536, the Alliance was founded by Megan Delaine and Murray Philips in the Sigma Draconis System. It was founded as a governing body for the chaotic Outer Colonies, where the UNE’s Military could not reach. It gained support from many of the helpless Outer Colonies, which were facing pirate attacks and unrest about their powerlessness.

### Expansion

Once the Alliance had gained sufficient support from existing colonies, it launched an initiative to establish several colonies of its own on the Outer Rim of its territory. It was quickly becoming a major player in the Galaxy, with multiple colonies, some even bordering on UNE Territory.

### Present Day

The Alliance is currently defunct, collapsing in 2572. With the Alterra Corporation trying to fend of the remaining Compasses, and establishing multiple new colonies on the Outer Rim.

## Structure

### Governing

The Alliance is governed by a Prime Minister, and a term lasts five years. The current Prime Minister is Evan Fox, returning for his second term. Under the Prime Minister, there are many ministers of a specific area, such as Minister for Colonisation, Minister of Transport or Ministry of Interspecies Communication.

### Planets

The Alliance’s planets were each governed by a President, who is re-elected every three years. Each planet gives fifty per-cent of its military to the Alliance, giving the Alliance the third largest military in the Galaxy.
Energy Shielding

“You won’t get far without one of these in this Galaxy”

- Eve Ramirez

The **Energy Shield**, sometimes referred to as **Deflector Shield**, **Markov Field** or **Armour**, is a technology utilised by all sentient races in the Galaxy. It was first discovered by Humanity in 2419, and was extensively utilised on large UNE vessels, but the technology was still bulky, power-inefficient and comparatively weak compared to, for example, that of The Chosen. In 2472, massive breakthroughs were made in Shield Booster technology, allowing ships to temporarily boost their shields, at the expense of massive amounts of power. A strong Energy Shield is also necessary to facilitate safe travel through Subspace.

## Physics

The UNE Energy Shield operates by projecting a stable field, which directs a constant flow of negatively charged photons, which will deflect or consume any oncoming fire, be it a **Laser Attack**, **Kinetic Attack**, or even temporarily against a **Hard-light Attack**. These photons will protect completely against any amplified light-based weaponry, such as Lasers. The Chosen’s form of Shielding is known as a the ‘Photonic Barrier’, roughly translated from their glyph-based language, and works in much the same way as their UNE Counterparts, as do the shields of The Precursors.

## History

###### Humanity

The Human energy shield was discovered by Dr Lyla Markov in 2472, and was subsequently released to all United Nations of Earth
Falatun

Falatun is a Mana Deity discovered in the outer reaches of Invardia, residing in the forested land near the border of the Takari territory. She is believed to be the result of an Invardium experiment, the purpose and results of which being unclear.

## Appearance

Falatun is a human-turned-Mana Deity with frog-like hands and feet. She sports two tails that she uses to pick up and hold things. Along the top and back of her head are metal protrusions which leak Mana. It's possible they will in time turn to bone.

## History

Falatun was first discovered by some Invardium natives who reported it.
Colonial Trading Corporation

“The greatest society of merchants in the Universe”

- Self-applied description of the British East India Company

The Colonial Trading Corporation is a vast interstellar corporation, that has existed since the late 22nd Century, the earliest days of Interstellar Travel. The first iteration of the corporation appeared on **Tau Ceti G**, a planet now known as a ‘**Factory World**’. It acted as a middle man for the fledgling colonies, all of which were attempting to establish strong economies with Sol. The Colonial Trading Corporation has the second largest corporate military in the Galaxy, second only to the warlike Alterra Corporation.

UNES Dominance

“She’s the greatest ship ever built”

- Theodore Bolton

The **UNES *Dominance*** is the flagship of the United Nations of Earth Navy, and one of the largest ships ever built. Despite being classed as a **Supercarrier**, the *Dominance*’s design is unique to other, newer ships of its class, such as the UNES *Ariana* and the destroyed *Conquest.*

## Initial Planning

The UNES *Dominance* was planned in the late 2590s, but construction only began in the mid 2610s. It was officially commemorated on New Year’s Eve of 2619 and made an FTL jump from within the city of Alinity on Earth. The planning took 20 years, because with the war against the terrorist organisation known as the Arcane Imperium. This war consumed most of the UNE’s resources for a time, and the terrorists, after learning of the plans to construct a supercarrier like the *Dominance*, immediately bombed all shipyards and assembly plants capable of assembling a vessel of this scale. Only several years after the end of the war, when the UNE’s main shipyards had been reconstructed could the supercarrier’s construction begin.

## Construction

The construction of the *Dominance* took five years, finishing on an undisclosed exact date prior to June 2618. The construction was overseen by Vixen Dynamics, the official supplier corporation of the UNE. The *Dominance* carried a state-of-the-art Binary drive, the fastest ever conceived aboard a Human military vessel. The ship’s most striking feature, however, is the most powerful Quantum cannon ever constructed, being more powerful even than those of Earth’s orbital defensive platforms.
T-41 Katana

The T-41 Katana is widely regarded as the natural companion to the F-42 Condor, being a small two-seater vessel compatible with any mountable weapon, and also capable of in-atmosphere and exoatmospheric flight. While the Condor can be used for most roles, the Katana is very much oriented towards combat. Its sleek design and robust energy shield suit it very well to fast-paced exoatmospheric combat. Its size also also makes it stackable en masse, meaning that a relatively small vessel such as the UNES Ariana are capable of carrying hundreds, and a supercarrier such as the UNES Dominance can be capable of carrying tens of thousands.

## History

### 2590s

The Katana is a relatively new addition to the Vixen Dynamics portfolio. It saw its first inception in 2594, as the Katana Lightspeeder, a small, agile vessel originally intended for thrill-seeking consumers. The UNE understood the power of this ship, commissioning Vixen to design an improved, weaponised version for combat purposes. This ship became the T-41 Katana. To this day, Vixen still produce both versions.

### 2610s

The design saw little to no alterations over the years, with only minor improvements to the shields. It was also now optional to fit it with a third, gimballed light energy repeater installed.

## Design

The Katana was inspired by the ancient fighter plane designs of Old Earth’s Air Forces, which translated very well to spaceflight, while its aerodynamic flight model also allowed for hypersonic in-atmosphere travel. Its wings were foldable, folding in for in-atmosphere dives and full speed straight line travel, and folding out for landing and manoeuvring. These wings also left ample space to keep weaponry, such as lasers, missiles and sometimes even rail-guns. One obvious disadvantage of this design is that the ship cannot fire weapons while its wings are folded.
Project Chimera

Project Chimera was the UNE and the Draconis Corporation’s joined initiative to swell the ranks of the Human military by augmenting soldiers with Cybernetic weapons built into their bodies. The project was overseen by Dr Lyla Lennox and <[REDACTED]>. Several Chimera soldiers were deployed from the UNES *Dominance* during the Battle of Ecumene, and during the Siege of Alinity City on Earth.

## Augmentations

### Biological Augmentations

The Chimera Project’s soldiers were given numerous biological augmentations, including Corneal Reversal Surgery, which decreased the time from seeing light to the signature being relayed to the brain. They were also given Synaptic Acceleration, which increased the firing rate of the synapses, giving the soldier faster reaction times and extreme intelligence. However, this surgery massively increased the risk of Parkinson’s Disease and Motor Neuron Disease. The second set of augmentations were to increase bone density, and alter the reproduction of muscle fibres to greatly boost their strength. Each soldier was also given a state-of-the-art Neural Interface.

### Cybernetic Augmentations

Along with the many biological and genetic augmentations, the Chimera soldiers were augmented with military-grade cyberware, such as a spinal exoskeleton, which was buried under the skin. Along with this, they were given in-built Magnetic Deflection Fields, and later Remnant Plasma Swords, which were on retractable hilts fused directly into their arms.
Trans-Gov

A Trans-System Government, or Trans-Gov, is an independent governmental authority in the universe. Trans-Govs are entities that own territory but do not fall under the qualifications of a country or nation.
Definition

According to the Charter, a Trans-Gov is "an independent authority in de facto control of at least one solar system and res-gate". Note that in this definition a res-gate is defined as "any permanent installation which enables FTL jumps of spacefaring vessels between solar systems". Most, but not all, Trans-Govs can trace their origins back to Earth.

### Structure

Known Trans-Govs operate under a board of directors or a number of clan-corps.Their population is made up of citizens. Trans-Govs are forced to follow the terms of the Charter by an enforcing military police called the GCRC, or Galactic Corporate Regulation Council, which is independent of but funded by all Trans-Govs. Trans-Govs are a large state containing many smaller enterprises under them.

### Rights

All Trans-Govs are subject to a number of rights. To summarize the rights defined in the Charter:

All Trans-Govs are subject to the same, equal rights.

The right to own Res-Gates and planetary infrastructure.

The right to self govern, with exception.

Trans-Govs are also subject to a number of obligations and restrictions, also outlined in the Charter:

Share Res-Gate access with other Trans-Govs on fair terms at no cost to themselves.

Financially maintain and comply with their affiliated superpower.

May not produce weapons without permission from their superpower, outlawed by "Appendix 91".

May not engage in population abuse.
Verge

**Verge** is a relatively young independent colony, unaffiliated with either the UNE or the Colonial Freehold, also notable for being the birthplace of John Socorro. Verge itself is the second planet in the Achiro system, and the system’s only habitable world. The planet has two moons, Iris and Vastus. The colony’s low orbit is home to a Vixen Dynamics shipyard, the largest in the Outer Rim. Vixen Dynamics is Verge’s largest employer, and its most valuable exporter.
Point-shift drive

## Summary

The point-shift drive is a piece of technology designed and tested by Lyla Markov in 2070. It seeded humanity’s immediate expansion throughout the galaxy, allowing for countless extrasolar colonies to be established over the next few centuries. It operates, hence its name, by creating two ‘shifts’ at both ends of a spacecraft, which acts as the ‘point’.

## Science

The point-shift drive operates by artificially generating two ‘shifts’ at either end of a drive equipped vessel, effectively creating a bubble of superluminal space, untouchable by the rest of the subluminal, luminal and superluminal universes. By ‘torquing’ energy out of hyperspace, a ship can achieve near infinite kinetic energy, which is used to

Earth

“That world has seen many things”

- The Forgotten, *Serendipity: Why are they Here?*

Earth is the homeworld of both Humanity and the First Ones. Its current status is polluted and heavily damaged.

## Formation

Approximately 6.2 Billion years ago, the Architects created our Solar System. They seeded the system with the building blocks for six planets, but left the final one, Earth, to be constructed themselves. Once the system had established stable orbital paths, they returned to manually construct the first of their three planned ‘Haven Worlds’, planets that existed in total harmony, with all creatures coexisting perfectly, similar to the ancient Human vision of the Garden of Eden. When the Architects first constructed the planets superstructure and seeded it with life, it was far from the final vision. It was a scorched, lava-soaked hellscape. The Architects disappeared for millions of
UNES Conquest

## Summary

The UNE Conquest is a large, multi-purpose cruiser of the United Nations of Earth, built during the Human-Chosen wars, originally built to protect the First Worlds, but was later stationed on the Outer Rim. It was present for the first appearance of a Chosen vessel, at Walter’s World.

## Construction

Like most UNE ships, it was built in the Outer Rim system of Lalande 2158, and brought to the First Worlds following its construction. It is one of a fleet of over 600 ships, initially fitted to kill Compasses, then the fleet was refitted for use against the Chosen and the Faceless,
Kapcsolati

Kapcsolati is a large metropolitan area and capital of the outer UNE colony of Asselus Prime. It houses one of the planet’s six orbital elevators, and the largest population for any one city in the system. It is also the first UNE colony to make contact with The Faceless at the beginning of the Resurrection War.

## History

### Founding

Kapcsolati was founded in 2413 at the height of the Second Age of Colonisation. The first colony ship to arrive was the RCMS (Ryujin Corporate Military Ship/Station) *Boundless Dawn*, which arrived in the system in 2402. The initial 2,500 scouts it carried set up a small research outpost near the planet’s equator in the place that would later become the city. They returned to settled space, and returned a year later aboard a fully laden *Boundless Dawn* along with a small fleet of ten other ships that collectively carried over 50,000 initial colonists. When they landed in 2403, they established a small base near the planet’s fertile and temperate equator. Many of these settlers were of Hungarian descent, being shuttled from the world settled by the defunct Hungarian corporation Galactic Colonial Logistics. Ryujin Industries shuttled thousands of the inhabitants of the planet to Asselus Prime, offering the prospect of a new life in a young and thriving colony. In late 2404, a vote was held over what they should name the settlement, and they chose Kapcsolati. More waves of colonists came thick and fast, and the settlement grew and prospered. The surrounding area was rapidly industrialised, taking advantage of the massive reserves of Alexandrite around the city. By 2410, the population of the colony had grown to over 180,000. In 2413, the colony was officially classified as the planet’s capital city. The colony was officially opened to the public, causing a massive influx of refugees fleeing the devastation of the war between the Alterra Corporation and the Colonial Trading Corporation. Kapcsolati grew exponentially during this time, with hundreds of thousands of colonists arriving. The city built the planet’s first Orbital Elevator, and quickly surpassed one million in population.
Black Market

The Black Market is an automatic randomized auction that occurs three times every day. The items it can sell are chosen from a list of collection items present inside expired seasonal crates. On weekdays 3 auctions for 1 item are held, for a total of 3 items daily. On weekends this is tripled to 3 items per auction for a total of 9 items daily.

Every item that is auctioned off on the Black Market begins bidding at $15,000. Players are given the choice between increasing the bid amount by $1,000, $10,000 or $100,000 each time a bid is placed. Whoever has the highest bid placed at the time of the auction's conclusion will receive the item.

The Black Market is arguably the most reliable source of old crate items for collectors and players wanting a chance to win high value items such as the Sword of Peleus or Rowing Oar as it requires no gambling.

## Auction Times

**1st auction of the day:**

* Start Time: 12 AM UTC
* End Time: 6 AM UTC

**2nd auction of the day:**

* Start Time: 8 AM UTC
* End Time: 2 PM UTC

**3rd auction of the day:**

* Start Time: 4 PM UTC
* End Time: 10 PM UTC

## Anti-Snipe

If a player bids within 60 seconds of a Black Market auction end, the server extends the auction by 5 minutes. Multiple Anti-Snipe extensions can occur for a single auction. Extensions will continue to happen until nobody bids during the Anti-Snipe period, or the next scheduled auction begins. On weekend auctions this applies to all three items, even if only one bid was increased.

## Locating the Black Market

The Black Market is located directly to the west of the exterior dragon statue at /warp oldcrates. The dealer is within a tree bark hut on an island, disguises and pvp are disabled within this area to prevent blocking access to the dealer.

The Black Market can however be viewed from anywhere and bid on remotely by using the /bm view command.

The two Etherium Swaybrands have a vague history. It's believe they had once belonged to a pair of twins of the Prominca family. When they died in battle, the blades were retrieved by their family. Exactly where they are being kept remains a mystery.
Chimera Arm Blades

I like to keep an Ace up my sleeve

- Eve Ramirez

Chimera Arm Blades are cybernetic weapons supplied to all Chimera soldiers. They retract when not in use, and extend from the arms on neural command.

## Design

The Arm Blades are a set of four long katanas stored within the arm, that extend on command. They are connected to the brain via a dedicated Neural Interface, allowing the user to activate the weapon with zero latency. They can be modified to carry heaters, allowing the blades to scorch as well as slice the victim.

## Implantation

Little is known about the Implantation Process for the Arm Blades, except for the conversation between Eve Ramirez and Alan Sharpe in *Serendipity: Eclipse*. Eve’s cyberware was implanted in her Right arm, after the full removal of her Ulna and Radius bones, and the Brachioradialis and Extensor Carpi Radialis muscles. With all four slots linking together, the careful implementation of the blades themselves could begin. This process took almost two months, and a further three months before the modified arm could be fitted back on to the user.
M4260 Spartan

A powerful, expensive rail-gun, employed by the UNE’s elite Marine branches.

- Description

The **M4260 Spartan Rail-Gun** is an extremely powerful handheld rail-gun, one of the only ever designed. It is capable of eviscerating vehicles from range, shields and armour alike. A well-aimed shot to the wing, engines or cockpit of most small ships is enough, and several shots to the shield can take it offline. It is effective against anywhere from weak grade-1 shields to larger grade-5 shields. It is the only handheld weapon capable of this type pf damage. It is powered by purpouse-built power cells.

## Design

The Spartan is vast compared to most handheld weapons, at a colossal 1.97 metres in length, 36 centimetres in width and 72 centimetres in height. It weighs 49 pounds, and is intended to be carried on the shoulder.
Mars

**Mars**
 **Faction** | United Nations of Earth

Mars is a planetary colony in the Sol system, and the fourth planet from its parent star. It is the United Nations of Earth’s oldest colony, with the first city (New Horizons) established in 2042. It is the the second most populated planet in the Sol system, second only to the Motherworld of Earth.

## History

### Colonisation

Following the successful colonisation of Earth’s moon, Luna, colony ships were dispatched to Mars in 2041. In mid 2042, the ships landed on the Martian surface, deploying a small habitat at the site of the first footfall, which was named New Horizons. Over the next decade, crews rotated routinely, each one bringing new modules and expanding the settlement. By 2070, routine commercial flights began, and the habitat gradually grew to be a fully functional and mostly self-sufficient city. In 2069, the first ever Martian child was born.

### Second Renaissance

Following the invention of the AEMD, Mars was brought within reach of Earth, with transit times now taking mere weeks. Ryujin Industries bought Mars’ tiny moon of Phobos as a base for future mining missions to the Asteroid Belt. New Horizons gradually expanded, eventually developing independent industry, and exporting products such a Helium 3, an isotope essential for the operation of fusion reactors, back to Earth.
Server Events

Server Events are events hosted by the event team that any player can participate in. They are usually themed around the current Seasonal Crate and are a good way of getting more involved with community, as well as getting keys.

## Mini-Game Events

These types of events are usually held monthly with the theme of the game changing depending on what the theme of the seasonal crate is. Constellation Crate's "Ore Extraction" event saw players dropped onto an alien planet and mining out resources, trying to get as deep as possible. Winter Wonderland's "Snowball Fight" event was a series of 2v2v2v2 snowball fight matches featuring power-ups.

### Hide & Seek

Hide & Seek is a recurring event theme in which players must find staff members disguised within the map's environment. Prizes are given out to players who discover hidden staff until no more staff remain.

### Scavenger Hunt

Scavenger Hunts are another recurring event theme. In these players are dropped into a massive world map and hunt for chests containing items. Keys of varying value are given out depending on the item found until no more items remain.

## Build Events

Build Events are a similar type of recurring server event, this time focused around building. Players are given a set amount of time as well as a theme (usually relating to the current seasonal crate) to build around. The restrictions for builds are usually within a 32x32 space with no height limit. Once the deadline has been reached, Events Team members will judge the builds and rewards are given to a 1st through 5th place.

## Artmap Events

Artmap Events are recurring server events focused around painting with the artmap plugin. Players are given a set amount of time as well as a theme (usually relating to the current seasonal crate) to paint around. Canvas size limits are usually 3x3 maps. Once the deadline has been reached, Events Team members will judge the artworks and rewards are given to a 1st through 5th place.

## Extended Cluescroll

An example of the task list for an Extended Cluescroll.

The Extended Scroll is a monthly server event that usually lasts one week. All players are given access to redeem an extended scroll through use of /extendedscroll. The tasks on the extended scrolls are extremely difficult compared to standard cluescrolls, often requiring massive amounts of resource gathering or relating to unusual mobs. Completing an extended scroll will reward players with 2 Event Keys, 2 Seasonal Keys, a 24 hour fly voucher and the trophy for that month's scroll.

*For more info on extended cluescrolls, see Cluescrolls.*

Alinity City

The skyline gleamed in the powerful sunlight, reflecting magnificently off the UNE’s insignia that was emblazoned on the tallest building. It was Alinity, the greatest of the Earthen megacities, and capital of the UNE.

*- Serendipity: Why are they Here?*

## Summary

Alinity was founded in 2186, as a capital for the UNE and to commemorate a new beginning for a unified humanity. It is home to the first ever Pneumatic Magnetic Levitation Rail Network, more commonly known as simply ‘Pneumaglev’. It is the second largest city in the Galaxy, and the first ever to surpass one billion on population.

## History

Alinity was founded in 2186 as the capital for the UNE, formerly United Coalition of Earth. It immediately became iconic, with its distinctive skyline, dominated by the UNE’s Headquarters, and the Financial District, all of which was inside one building, with the Financial District on the Ground Floor, and the UNE’s offices on the upper levels. It was built on an artificial island, built by the UNE’s forerunner, the United Nations. It was bombed in 2211, during the Tau Ceti wars, and again in 2569, by the AIC. After the second bombing, a massive city-shield was constructed, the first of its kind, to shield the city from future attacks. In 2589, Vixen Dynamics, the UNE’s supplier corporation, moved its headquarters from Tau Ceti to Alinity, though still maintaining a massive corporate presence in its previous home system. In 2618, it was evacuated, while teams of Marines cleared out a fleet of Myriad ground soldiers and ships during the early days of the Human-Myriad War.

## Towns no image :(

**Towns** are some of Vulengate’s best ways to get to know people and really connect with your community. They are player-made and player-run, and are a fantastic starting point for any new player to start their adventure.

Official server towns will be listed in the /towns GUI. These are towns that have applied and been accepted by the staff team to have an official Warp, and can be accessed with /warp <townname>. Towns that are working on building themselves up will usually have Player Warps, and can be accessed using /pw <townname>. Oftentimes, both options are advertised at Spawn on the two Notice Boards, or in chat advertisements.

Town owners are also given a commemorative [Mayor] Tag so long as their town remains populated.

John Socorro

## Appearances

### Appears in

Convergence: Contact, Convergence: Last Light, Convergence: Rise of the Architects

### Debut

Convergence: Contact

“First rule of Rimrunning: Don’t ask questions.”

- John Socorro, *Convergence: Last Light*

**John Socorro** is the main protagonist of the Convergence novels. He is a Rimrunner in the **UNE Cradle**, specialising in discreetly transporting illegal goods to the outer worlds of the UNE. He is the best friend and love interest of Eve Ramirez, and captain of the Infinitech Javelin ***Talsatik***.

## Biography

John was born late in 2593, on the outer UNE colony of Verge, to two unnamed parents. His unnamed sister was born two years before. As he grew up in the loneliness of living in such an isolated place, he began to travel to areas around his house’s area, including the summit of a nearby mountain. At the age of 19, he bought his first ship, an Infinitech Javelin that he would later name the *Talsatik*, from a man at Verge’s orbital shipyard who planned to scrap it for parts. He began rimrunning shortly afterwards, and met Eve Ramirez in Kapcsolati during a run for the Colonial Trading Corporation. Both him and Eve began to work together over the next two years.
