North American Union

The **N**orth **A**merican **U**nion is largest and most powerful pact on Earth, rivaled only by the European Union. It is a combination of the most prominent North American nations under one flag, with the founders and most prominent nations being United States, Canada, and Mexico.

## History

With the strong diplomatic resolve of five-term United States President John F. Kennedy, the North American Union was a plan the American people first rallied behind in 1966 CE aimed at quelling domestic issues to focus on the more pressing matter at hand: rivaling the Soviet Union and getting into space. Despite, Kennedy's incredibly high approval rate, there was significant push back on the proposed union for another three decades until it was officially ratified by the United States in 1995 CE, with Mexico and Canada already having agreed five years prior.

Later in 2059 CE, the NAU was the first Human alliance to establish an off-world colony: Exodus on Earth's closest neighbor Mars.

Horizons Initiative Dispatch

**Horizons Initiative** **Dispatch** is the central information hub on the UNS Dawn responsible for keeping the Initiative on track and its Trailblazers occupied. In addition to keeping the Initiative Conclave informed and providing assignments, Dispatch is responsible for keeping up with colonial and galactic affairs.
Suthra

## Colony

**Suthra**, named after the late Vobuk senator Gial Suthra, is a lush garden world in the Orendar sector of the Outer Frontier. The planet's oceans cover roughly 57% of its surface, while the rest is dominated mostly by forests. It holds a great deal of natural resources, and more than enough to sustain a growing colony, which is why the Systems Coalition made an effort to colonize it after the Ubiar Invasion.

## History

The colony on Suthra was founded by the Systems Coalition in 2183 as their first attempt at colonizing after the devastation that the Ubiar had wrought on the galaxy. Infighting started early on in its development, and less than a year after its creation, a group of colonists revolted in early 2184 and overthrew the local government.

The Coalition's budget at the time was already spread thin with relief efforts both in their own borders and across the galaxy, and once the revolt happened, Suthra was effectively abandoned due to the costs involved with taking the planet back. The sector's colonization had largely been a political move, and it backfired on the Coalition.

The planet is now inhabited by the frontier's usual clientele: refugees and criminals.
Imdali

The **Imdali Sector** is an isolated research sector home to Archimedes, a crucial research outpost documenting accurate aquatic evolutionary tendencies. Its orbital stations support both the construction workers rebuilding the research station and the researchers stationed there.

## Rama

**Rama** is the *first* planet orbiting the star Imdali.

## Archimedes

**Archimedes** is the *second* planet orbiting the star Imdali.

## Urania

**Urania** is the *third* planet orbiting the star Imdali.
Andromeda Havens

The **Andromeda Havens** are eight massive, custom-built, hyperspace-capable colony ships constructed by the Horizons Initiative to carry thousands of cryogenically frozen colonists on the century-long voyage to the Andromeda Galaxy. The Havens were largely built by the United Nations and remnants of the Systems Coalition using the last of the dying Intergalactic Assembly's resources.

Due to their rushed construction and hurried departure, the Havens are civilian ships by design and virtue. The ships are simply meant to serve as temporary shelters until the Initiative establishes permanent settlements. Even though they have a limited supply of firearms for its security personnel, a small fleet of shuttles, and other spacecrafts, the Havens themselves are completely unarmed.

With the Havens' crews in cryo, the Initiative developed two artificial intelligences to manage the Havens and its thousands of passengers both during the journey and upon arrival in Andromeda: Prometheus for the first wave, and Atlas for the second.

## Havens

### First Wave

* Aether: The flagship Haven and base of operations for the Horizons Initiative. Carries members of multiple species as a largely political move. Home to Atlas.
* Jackson: The first Human Haven.
* Andaman: The Bushrak Haven.

### Second Wave

* Gaia: The second Human Haven. Second largest in case the Aether did not survive the voyage. Home to Prometheus.
* Sobanum: The Ganonsyoni Haven.
* Val: The Katali Haven.
MedAide

MedAide, a genetically-engineered bioplasm created by Lexington-Steele, is a common medicinal salve used by paramedics, EMTs, and military personnel.

It combines several useful applications: a local anesthetic, disinfectant and clotting agent all in one. Once applied, the gel is designed to grip tight to flesh until subjected to a frequency of ultrasound. It is sealable against liquids - most notably blood - as well as contaminants and gasses.

## Flaws

* While the technology works across species well enough, MedAide works best with Human patients due to the bioplasm's predilection towards levo-amino acid-based lifeforms.
* Some patients hold an immense allergy towards the material that leaves the applied area sealed, but with intense burns. It is highly advised to never apply MedAide without first consulting the patient's medical records, though it often may be their only choice in life-or-death scenarios.
* Over-applications are very rarely resistant to ultrasound frequencies and must be pried off: potentially leaving the applied area scarred, deformed, or worse.
Augustus Bombing

The Augustus Bombing was an an attempt by Katali extremists on August 4, 2139 CE to drive off the Humans they believed were invading their sacred grounds on Augustus. Luckily for the colony's inhabitants, John Kemp and his crew discovered the terrorists' plans and foiled the plot.

## Investigation

After hearing murmurs of a potential threat developing in response to the United Nations colonizing Augustus, UNSM Captain John Kemp and his XO Jerian North took it upon themselves to investigate. They chased lead after lead and even found themselves in more than a few standoffs with the colonists. Yet, with their determination and excellent detective work, they traced the whispers back to a Katali terrorist cell planning to send a message to the rest of the galaxy: "Do not touch our land!"

The terrorists planned to take over a Human nuclear plant and overload the reactors, unleashing utter devastation on the Humans that were flocking to the new colony. Kemp, North, and their crew acted swiftly and stopped the takeover, making sure to alert the Intergalactic Assembly simultaneously. The situation was quickly defused and the Katali government claimed no responsibility for the plot. In an act of good faith and with Assembly encouragement, the United Nations ceded the sector to the Katali under the grounds they could keep their colony and the situation was entirely settled.
Secession Movement

The **Secession Movement** is a incredibly large, yet utterly disorganized movement unofficially founded in support of the Secession Party: a minority political party with little representation in the UN Council pushing for independence among UN colonies. The Movement and Party alike have a incredibly large following on Avalon.

## Terrorism

While perhaps founded with noble intentions, the party has been linked to terrorist movements across the Human Freedom Coalition frontier claiming to represent the Movement. The Secession Party officially renounces these terrorist cells, but private investigations have produced evidence that there may be a conspiracy at hand.

The United Nations is yet to put out an official statement or prosecute the party for this supposed conspiracy, though many have demanded the governing body take action in response to the kidnapping and torture of UN Marine Skylar Wesley.
Washington Outpost

While Cerberus Station is the largest United Nations military space station, **Washington Outpost** is actually the absolute biggest UN space station.

## Description

This station is essentially the political heart of all things United Nations.

Located in the Azure sector of UN space, the station itself is comprised of a number of important sections, the most important of which is undoubtedly the Council Tower. The UN Prime Minister lives on the very top floor of the tower, with meeting halls for both the Admiralty Board and the UN Council as well as a joint hall for any matters requiring the attention of both groups. Both bodies hold nearly all of their conferences and hearings here.

Washington Outpost has a small residential and commercial sector for anyone of political importance staying on the station, as well as the men and women of the Fifth Fleet whenever it's docked at the outpost. There are a number of docking bays for the fleet as well as any visitors, providing anything the ships require during their stay. Defense systems line the outer walls of the station, including everything from automated anti-fighter turrets to large manned batteries to fire upon larger ships.

### Highlights

* Washington Outpost is where the Admiralty Board convenes for each and every of their official meetings, where they address any important matters concerning the UN Navy.
* The UN Council holds all of their meetings here as well, discussing matters of varying importance from all reaches of United Nations space.
* The Prime Minister of the United Nations lives here.
* Washington Outpost is also the official home of the Navy's Fifth Fleet.
Lexington-Steele

**Steele Innovations** (Formerly Lexington-Steele, Lexington Armaments) is a massive, pre-invasion conglomerate headed by Ava 'Alice' Steele.

While she holds her family's original goals and legacy in mind, Steele continues to radically alter the company to be more in line with David Lexington and Dominic Steele's late philanthropic intentions.

## History

### Pre-Assembly

Created in 2114 by Samuel Lexington, Lexington Armaments was a privately traded weapons manufacturer that focused primarily on the creation of small ballistic weapons. Though they turned a small profit during early operation, Humanity's acceptance into the Intergalactic Assembly and the resulting ban on ballistic ammunition caused financial hardship on the Lexington family.

### Creation of Lexington-Steele

Samuel Lexington died shortly after the ban, leaving a dying company to his only heir, David Lexington. David began restructuring the company after his first year of operation, and in 2125, David's close friend, Dominic Steele, joined him as a company head. Now known as Lexington-Steele, the company began creating military tech for the reformed UN Navy. Their tech ranged from blasters and training simulators to energy knives and genetic modification. Both Dominic and David were philanthropists in their own right—a trait associated with their families as a whole—and they participated in many ventures for the overall benefit of the UN: new ship designs, funding underappreciated research projects, and a large, encyclopedic, database of information accessible by the Extranet.

### Post-Invasion

After the Ubiar Invasion, Lexington-Steele was left without any heads, and since the company remained private, it renamed within the family. Both Rachel Steele and Vincent Lexington vanished from the public eye, and the company was tossed around in a trust until the next heir, Alice Steele, turned 18 in 2198. Alice was vocal about her distaste for the company's previous focus, and quickly soon restructured it into Steele Innovations, hoping to use its resources to benefit life in the Milky Way instead of destroying it.

## Controversy

### Lexington-Steel Transport

Though the main branch of Lexington-Steele hadn't been the target of any large scandals, their ventures can't make that claim. During the second year of Lexington-Steel Transport, several large ships were subject to pirate attacks. Ambushes themselves are common with operations in dangerous sectors, but the idea that an Armaments company couldn't properly defend their ships drew public ire.

### Eve

One of David Lexington's personal interests was the creation of advanced AI, and he created many prototypes for different purposes during his lifetime. Eve, his most popular prototype, violated several Assembly Laws and resulted in hefty fines after it was leaked onto the Extranet.

### Vincent Lexington

Though Vincent Lexington, David's son, became an Invasion war hero after his father's death, there were many pre-war rumors about his participation in several gangs before becoming a member of the UNS Argo.

A1-K1

## Description

A1-K1, like the moon Titan, is a small planet with a Nitrogen atmosphere and surface dominated by methane as a substitute for water. Due to its star, the planet is tidal locked, though both sides are perpetually cold due to the reverse greenhouse effect produced by its atmosphere.

Colonial Affairs believes studying this planet could prove valuable, though it is ill-advised with A1-K's highly unstable state.
James Moore

## Biography

James Moore is somewhat of an eccentric within the UN Navy, for his seemingly laid back attitude and unusual dress while on the job. Coming from El Paso, Texas, James Moore is the quintessential 'Space Cowboy', it wouldn't be uncommon to hear his southern drawl respond when one called for air support.

His criminal record only contains a couple of bar fights, the man managed to steer clear of cliches, avoiding shady business for the sake of his position within the Navy. Serving as a Chief Warrant Officer, Moore was recruited into the UNSM, though as a junior operator, and somewhat of a special case as well. On the ground, he is a marksman, using two commissioned weapons that are handguns in nature, but are used for their heavy, damaging rounds and fairly lethal range.

In the air, he's a designated fighter pilot, where he takes an unnecessary amount of risks to ensure his target gets hit. Moore generally defies standard flight protocol, unafraid to graze by foreign objects or squeeze through small spaces, this behavior has been noted by superiors but with a record of efficient success on the field this hasn't led to any action taken against him yet.

## Skills

* Skilled though dangerous fighter pilot
* Excellent marksman
* Familiar with UN Navy and its classified UNSM
Human Congress

The **Human Congress** is a collection of politicians that governs the Human Freedom Coalition and solely represent the interests of Humanity with little consideration to their extraterrestrial neighbors.

Each sector is allowed one representative with the Prime Minister serving as a non-voting overseer. The representatives meet daily at the Washington Outpost Congressional Center to address the state of the HFC, settle controversy, and run over legislature.

Cygnus Shuttle

The **Cygnus Shuttle** is a small Trailblazer spacecraft capable of space to planetary landings, as well as minor interstellar travel. The Cygnus was engineered specifically for the Trailblazer Program and eventually retrofitted to fit the even larger needs of the Horizons Initiative.

## Interior

The Cygnus is spearheaded by a small cockpit with a seat for the pilot and a small amount of space for personal belongings. The back half contains enough seats and space for up to six passengers and their exploratory equipment (helmets, armor, firearms, etc) in the compartments under their seats.

## Technology

**TV19**: **T**railblazer **V**ersion 19

* **TV19 Kinetic Shields**: Capable of deflecting small, high velocity objects. Can take two torpedoes max before shields drop and leave the rover nearly disabled.
* **TV19 Life Support Systems**: Shelters its inhabitants from the extreme environments around it at the cost of energy. The harsher the environment, the more energy the Cygnus drains. It is highly discouraged to take the Cygnus into hostile environments as the Trailblazer Rover will fair much better.
* **TV19 Sensors**: Two active scanners, including radar, and LADAR (Laser Detection and Ranging), and a range of passive scanners.
Oliver Ekstrom

## Biography

Earthborn in the northern reaches of Sweden alongside his identical twin Elias, Oliver learned from a young age that he was expected to become a soldier. His family had a long tradition of military service as far back as they could trace their ancestry, though Oliver had different plans.

The stars fascinated them both, and early in their youth they envisioned joining the Trailblazer Program to explore the galaxy and discover new things.

Oliver in particular was obsessed with xenobiology, particularly xenozoology. Upon graduating secondary school, he and his brother practically leapt at the chance to enter college. He was somewhat disappointed to find that his brother Elias was more interested in xenobotany, but the two stayed inseparable throughout all the way to their next graduation.

With bachelor's degrees in Xenozoology and Xenobotany, Elias and Oliver were a package deal of fresh scientists. Of course, their first course was to immediately seek induction into the Trailblazer Program, fully aware of the intense and lengthy training involved.

Afterwards followed five grueling years of education and training, in which the two learned almost more than they had in college. From learning the inner politics throughout the galaxy's empires to receiving formal combat training, the two endured through it all together.

Oliver was unpleasantly surprised at how he shined in combat training, his athletic and agile figure made him excellent in tight conditions with sub-machine guns. His aim, physical strength, and endurance were all average, his skill lay in his maneuverability and quick-thinking.

To the more bookish education, he did not shine but simply managed to get through. He was less concerned and interested with the documented nations of the galaxy and more excited to start putting his degree to use.

After the five grueling years of Trailblazer training, Oliver and Elias spent a year in the Program before they ended up on the second wave to Andromeda. Oliver was able to hone his scientific ability, his occupation involving discovering and documenting instances of alien wildlife.

## Skills and Abilities

* Skilled Xenozoologist
* Agile and athletic
A1-C

**A1-C** is a large sector with only two incredibly distant planets. Judging by the several massive asteroids orbiting A1-C, there was most likely a third planet close to it that suffered some catastrophic event early in its development. The event could also be responsible for A1-C's abnormal radiation output.

## A1-C1

**A1-C1** is the *first* planet orbiting the star A1-C.

## A1-C2

**A1-C2** is the *second* planet orbiting the star A1-C.

Google Digital Assistant

**G**oogle **D**igital **A**ssistants (GDAs) are extremely portable smart watches capable of interfacing with practically every aspect of an individual's life. While the GDA was first a 2053 Earth invention, practically every uplifted race have adopted the device.

## Reception

Building on the booming augmented reality and smart watch businesses, Google, an enormous Human corporation, released the first version of their next generation PDA in 2053 CE. Over the next century, Google continued to iterate on their GDA, which had quickly become a cultural phenomena. After first contact, much of the galaxy quickly grew to love the Human's GDAs and began to acquire as many as possible. Come 2180, GDAs have become staples of galactic society.

## Function and Design

Rather than utilizing the wrist-screen as its primary display, the GDA instead uses this to output a holographic display a few inches above the wristwatch. Due to technical limitations, this hologram is limited to a 5x5 inch projection directly above the device. The wrist portion also serves as a sensor to detect any interaction with the floating display.

GDAs are capable of managing most of a being's life: including, but not limited to, their email, instant messaging, social media, vitals, and implants.

### Versions

From the start, Google designed their device to be modular, and two significant iterations have emerged: the civilian and UN military editions. The **civilian edition** is designed similar to ancient smartphones in managing daily life and interacting with social media. Google later co-operated with the UN to design the **UN military edition**, which had built in medium-range communications software while also disabling a variety of civilian applications.

## Horizons Initiative

*See also: Extranet#Andromeda*

In the wake of the Ubiar Invasion, Google and the Horizons Initiative developed a special **Trailblazer Edition** for the Exploratory Leads in Andromeda. This version serves as a middle ground between its two predecessors. It offers the lifestyle management of the civilian edition, encrypted communication software, scanner, and limited combat simulation of the military edition, and extra processing power to house a personalized instance of the Aether's management AI Prometheus. *(See Prometheus for more details on companion AIs).*

In Andromeda, GDAs now obviously lack access to the Extranet, so instantly accessing information across the galaxy is no longer possible.
Genesis

## Description

Genesis is the first Human colony ever established outside of their home sector of Sol and by far the biggest success Humanity has ever had with colonization. The colony of Genesis still prospers to this day, and it holds fast as a bastion of hope for Humankind.

The population and culture of Genesis is as diverse as they come, featuring numerous settlements that harbour Humans from every walk of life, and even a number of inhabitants from the non-Human races around the galaxy. Being the place where Humanity was first discovered by the Bushrak, there is a rather strong Bushrak presence in the capital city of Custer, where the people of Genesis can enjoy some of the finer points of Bushrak culture.

Genesis is far from perfect, however, and is not without its fair share of troubles. The smaller settlements are susceptible to the occasional pirate attack or act of terror. The Secession Movement, a small, disorganized and aggressive movement pushes for independence among the UN colonies, doing so through acts of terror.
Initiative Conclave

The **Initiative Conclave** is an incredibly selective council stationed in the HCS Aether's administrative ward responsible for governing the Horizons Initiative and deliberating on difficult decisions deemed to be too important for their Exploratory Leads.

The Conclave is compromised of notable Milky Way figures from across the galaxy, though the majority hail from inside the United Nations.

## Organization

While each of the six councilors have their own office, most of them prefer to operate from their respective stations across the administrative ward, especially Detir Aanoxer who still is yet to even log into his office's terminal. It is quite rare to see all six gathered in the Conclave Chamber: requiring a truly important task at hand.

When compromise fails and a vote must be called, each councilor has one vote. In the event of a tie, the Initiative Director's vote will decide their direction, assuming prior deliberations failed to sway a change from either side.

## Councilors

* ~~Mike Trainer~~ ~~- Initiative Director (*HCS Aether*)~~
* Galen Antuma - Lead Scientist (*HCS Gaia*)
* Detir Aanoxer - Militia and Security Director (*HCS Andaman*)
* Tylisk Yubo - Assistant Scientist, Security Correspondent (*HCS Val*)
* Iden Allan - Director of Colonial Affairs (*HCS Jackson*)
* Xand Sobanum - Haven Superintendent (*HCS Sobanum*)
Jackson

The **HCS** (**H**yperspace **C**olony **S**hip) **Jackson** is the primary Human Haven, carrying 10,000 Humans from all walks of life in cryostasis. Unlike the second Human Haven Gaia, the Jackson does not have any special modifications and is quite identical to the other three primary Havens: Andaman, Sobanum, and Val.

## History

Constructed in orbit around Washington Outpost, the Jackson is named after a famous Human soldier that saved United States President John F. Kennedy: the founder of the North American Union and consequently father of Human space travel. She is built to the same specifications as her sister Havens.

Being built by and for Humans, the Horizons Initiative had little trouble maneuvering through policy to fund and develop the Jackson, unlike the especially troublesome Bushrak Haven Andaman.

The Jackson then departed the Milky Way as part of the first wave on October 15, 2180 with Iden Allan at the helm.
Rhaedos Loroxyn

## Biography

While he was raised under the shadow of greatness that is his father, Senator Erunol Loroxyn, Rhaedos has done well to break free from the shackles of his family’s expectations. Born into the world of intergalactic politics, Rhaedos was groomed from a very young age to join the rest of his family as a politician. He was introduced to much of the perks and luxuries that an upper class life on the Intergalactic Assembly Station offered, growing up in the First Quarter and attending private schools in the wealthier parts of the Third Quarter. As it turned out, this life was far from what he wanted.

From an early age, Rhaedos had taken a heavy interest in the Systems Coalition’s military. He spent hours of his free time researching and, whenever his home was visited by officials from the Systems Coalition Navy, he found the time to speak to them, doing all of this right under his father’s nose. He wanted to be something more than just another Loroxyn politician, despite what his family might have had planned for him.

It was at the age of twenty-three, in 2124, that he decided it was time to do what he wanted rather than conform to his father’s wishes. He enlisted with the Systems Coalition Marines as soon as he could before bringing his true wishes to his parents’ attention. His father was outraged by what he called his son’s ‘betrayal’. It was made very clear by his father that Rhaedos was not welcome in their family from that point onward.

Joining up with the Systems Coalition Marines after his proverbial exile, Rhaedos began to doubt his wishes not long into his service. While he had heard that the tactics used by the Marines were questionable, he was not prepared for reality. He served for two years before he decided that enough was enough, quitting in 2126 in search of a more honorable profession. That was one that he found in an unlikely place: the United Nations Navy. Using old political connections to get in touch with the Admiralty Board, he put in an enlistment application and, after months of debates and consideration, he was accepted as the first non-Human to ever join the UN Navy in 2127, quickly making a name for himself as a phenomenal soldier as well as a natural and kind leader, climbing up the ranks to Lieutenant Commander and earning a few commendations along the way.

## Skills and Abilities

* Excellent soldier
* Natural leader
* Deep knowledge of galactic politics
* Political connections from upbringing
Cybernetics

Cybernetics were technological replacements for deformed, deficient, and lost body parts. As of 2180 CE, the installation of cybernetics has become painless and near perfect through the use of medical droids. As a result, they have been successfully applied to a wide variety of body parts, ranging from hands to legs and even eyes.

More recently, most galactic insurance companies have made the replacements widely available for nearly every sentient species across the galaxy at a reasonable, though still expensive, cost.

## Types

* Nanomachines: Assist in heightening the immune system and recovering from wounds at an increased rate.
* Arms: Often offer increased strength and mobility, at the cost of having one's own arms.
* Legs: Increase speed and stamina, though they sometimes suffer in more extreme environments.
* Head: Cybernetic eyes, noses, ears, and even cranial replacements have all been tested with various degrees of success; often have major drawbacks and not worth the risk.
Hyperlanes

**Hyperlanes** are established paths through hyperspace which link major worlds just as roads link major cities on populated worlds. These routes are regarded as safe, allowing spacecrafts to travel without colliding with another body in space. Simply flying through hyperspace without utilizing a known hyperlane could prove catastrophic.

There are no known documented cases as of yet, but preliminary tests on Hox predict that colliding with a natural phenomenon, such as a planet or black hole, while using hyperspace will most likely result in total destruction.
Martian Reconnaissance Post

*See also: Martian Sites*

The Martian Reconnaissance Post is an old science and reconnaissance post on Mars left to monitor Earth by the "Martians". Unknown to Humanity at the time of its discovery in 2060 CE, a host of similar posts are scattered across the galaxy, predominantly near the homeworlds of the galaxy's most advanced races.

## Societal Impact

The MRP finally told Humanity they were not alone in the galaxy and that interstellar travel was a real possibility. While it brought upon more questions than it answered, the MRP gave Humanity a renewed interest in interstellar exploration and the possibility of extraterrestrial beings.

In his renowned autobiography, Jackson Bento famously claimed:

> "The discovery of the [MRP] brought upon an enlightenment far more potent and enthusiastic than the greatest science fiction writers could even fathom."

The Jewel

The Jewel is a modified and retrofitted destroyer class vessel that was obtained after the disbandment of the mercenary group White Company. It was controlled by James Angstrom's crew from 2180 to 2185 when the crew was captured and detained. Since then it has been the property of the Assembly and kept in storage.

The former captain Barrett Angstrom is now back in control of the vessel, able to command and operate with a small crew, mostly due in part to automated functions.

## Interior

### Deck 1

1) Meeting Room: A large room with tables and chairs, also capable of taking direct control over the main cannons.

2) Bridge: Command room with three large seats for the Pilot, Navigator, and Weapons personnel.

3) Captain's Quarters: Largest of all the quarters onboard, fit with a large bed, desk, couch, chairs, mini-bar, and personal terminal.

### Deck 2

1) Kitchens: Fully equipped kitchens designed to feed at least forty crew members. Comes with appliances, cutlery, and rations.

2) Lounge: Open-concept lounge with three couches, several chairs, holotables, and pool table.

3) Quarters: Two spacious rooms with roughly fifteen bunk beds in each, enough to tightly hold sixty people at the sacrifice of living comfortably.

4) Observation decks: Two small and simple observation ports, each with chairs and small tables.

### Deck 3

1) Ballistics: Used to calibrate and maintain the main cannons of the Jewel. Also able to be manually controlled by this room.

2) Cargo Hold: Large cargo hold with room for multiple shuttles and rovers, though usually occupied by crates and other supplies. Holds two emergency shuttles along the back wall.

3) Drive Core/Engines: Standard Drive Core with full access for modifications and maintenance.

4) Landing Docks: Two docks able to hold one full Corvette each at the sacrifice of extra space.
Mithuna

The **Muthuna Sector** was once a slightly underdeveloped, yet charming sector thousands called home. Resting on the border between civilization and the unknown brought an uncertainty that attracted aspiring businessmen and Trailblazers alike. Yet, that draw was eventually its downfall as it was demolished by the Bushrak military coup during the Ubiar Invasion.

While reconstruction originally moved at a horribly slow pace, the election of Mithuna native Aristeides Vogel as Prime Minister has accelerated that process exponentially.

Jerian North

Jerian North is the current Admiral in command of the infamous Fifth Fleet, the UN frontier's first line of defense. Under Admiral North's guide, the Fifth Fleet has never lost a battle and has made pirates think twice before invading any Human colony.

## Biography

Admiral North is known for his sympathetic and understanding behavior, having said to make a lasting impression on nearly everybody he meets. Consequently, the Fifth Fleet's morale has only risen since his promotion and become an even stronger cohesive unit.

Serving as John Kemp's XO back in the day after their adventures in the Trailblazer Program, North rose through the ranks alongside his commander as they single-handedly stopped the Katali extremist bombing in 2139 CE, and is now one of the most respected officers in the entire galaxy.
Laine Tarwell

- James Moore

## Biography

### Part 1

Laine was a member of the UN Navy serving as a complex pilot, generally assigned to the smaller more manageable vessels such as the UNS Yewtoo. Until the attack on that very vessel, her career was not very noteworthy. However, on that tragic day, things changed, for better or for worse, as she was selected as the pilot for the UNS Argo.

To her peers, Laine was known to be a caring pilot: always concerned for every soul on board her vessels, and making regular announcements regarding their course and potential issues.

During the attack on January 4th, Laine nearly went down with the UNS Yewtoo as she tried to cover fighter pilot James Moore who was protecting their escape pods. However, she was eventually convinced to abandon ship by then-Commander Markus Kemp. How she was persuaded is generally unknown, as is most of what happened among that crew, but some have said the Commander simply leveraged knowledge of her sister and niece: whom she was the sole provider for back on Earth.

### Part 2

Laine is a member of the famous, and infamous, crew that changed the fate of the Milky Way. On the Yewtoo, Argo, and Medea, she was responsible for taking the crew across the galaxy on their perilous missions. While she started withdrawn and solitary, Laine steadily became more active in the crew's affairs, even taking part in one of their missions as their time together came to an end.

She'd formed a somewhat loose relationship with Addison Walker, which was mostly platonic, to the point that she actually held doubts as to whether Addison had any real feelings for her.

When the war with the Ubiar began to reach its close, Laine accepted the offer to join the Horizons Initiative on the Second Wave to Andromeda: under the impression that Addison was accompanying them, and wanting to stay close to her nieces. It was with a heavy heart that after she awoke, Laine learned that her mother had been killed in the invasion.

Her thoughts on Addison's decision to stay behind are unknown as of yet.

* Excellent complex pilot
* Competent ship technician
* Basic first aid
Jerusalem

The **Jerusalem Sector** is a neutral sector formerly controlled by the Vobuk centuries ago in the Turbulent Spectrum. While pirates infrequently visit the sector, it is still considered dangerous because of its lawless neighboring sectors. Despite this inherent danger, a group of Humans searching for refugee eventually settled down on the former Vobuk colony and garden world Fortis. United Nations Command advises both military and civilian personnel alike to avoid the sector and condemns the settlers who dare to call it their home.
Bushrak Cache

*See also: Martian Sites*

The Bushrak Cache is a derelict Martian outpost found on the icy moon of Albanel in 997 CE which orbits the Bushrak homeworld of Busharia. The cache contained the formulas key to developing Faster than Light (FTL) travel, the locations of hundreds of planets around the galaxy, and data advancing Bushrak technology hundreds of years.

## Impact

Its location may seem coincidental at face value, but the discovery of several other outposts orbiting a variety of homeworlds has led many to believe these stations were strategically placed to monitor the galaxy's up and coming races.

Having discovered their respective cache long before any other race, the Bushraks were effectively the first modern intergalactic empire, allowing them to become the galaxy's technological and exploratory leader.
Pi Zeconis

The **Pi Zeconis Sector** is as corrupt as a sector comes. After being completely leveled during the Ubiar Invasion for its spacecraft factories on Cionus, the Human Congress funneled significant funds into the sector to return the manufacturing haven back to its former glory. Yet, Miku Carnevale's predecessor embezzled a vast majority of the funds and fled to Frontier Space, leaving the sector in complete disarray.

Representative Carnevale's insistence on righting her predecessor's wrongs bought her a seat in the Human Congress and the full support of her constituents. However, some found of her opponents took offense with her messages and led a failed assassination attempt on the Congresswoman that sent the entire Human Freedom Coalition into disarray.

Arthurian

Arthurian was once a crucial United Nations sector, despite it being largely empty. Its old, failing star was only strong enough to hold a crude, weak asteroid belt that protected the sector's true gem: FDR Station.

The Ubiar Invasion saw the destruction of the station and subsequent abandonment of the sector: leading to it being legally absorbed into the Neutral Traverse.
Martians

The Martians are a precursor race which ruled the galaxy potentially eons before the current Milky Way races. They seemed to have disappeared almost entirely sometime before any current race arrived on the galactic landscape.

## Remnants

*See also: Martian Sites*

The only traces left of the Martians are a few enigmatic research posts hidden throughout the galaxy.

With most of these caches being discovered near the galaxy's most advanced species, many scientists have concluded the Martians may have been observing them while they were still primitives. However, some have sought to disprove these claims and discovered some of these posts were millions of years old, created long before any of the current species had evolved.
A1-K3

## Description

Conventional gas giants hardly ever are found orbiting red dwarfs, and A1-K3 is no exception. A Neptunian planet, the green giant has an incredibly dense atmosphere like the rest of its neighbors, though it substitutes methane for an incredible amount of hydrogen.

Lead Scientist Galen Antuma has dubbed the planet "Greenie" in her reports.
A1-A

**A1-A** is a medium sector with three planets: one of which is a colonial prospect. It is the rendezvous point for the Horizons Initiative as it is the furthest sector from the abnormal radiation and interference that plagues the cluster.

## A1-A1

**A1-A1** is the *first* planet orbiting the star A1-A.

Hyperspace

**Hyperspace** was an alternate dimension that could only be reached by traveling at or faster than the speed of light. Hyperdrivesenabled spacecrafts to travel through hyperspace lanes across great distances, enabling travel and exploration at unprecedented rates.

## Application

Hyperdrives manipulate hypermatter particles in order to thrust a starship into hyperspace by taking advantage of the wrinkles in the fabric of realspace, whilst still preserving the ship's mass/energy profile. This shortens journeying distance significantly, allowing the vessel to jump from a specific point to another point without having to travel directly between them, therefore reducing journey time by an extraordinarily large margin.

However, large objects in realspace cast "mass shadows" in hyperspace, so hyperspace jumps necessitate very precise calculations. Without those, a vessel could fly right through a star or another celestial body. Because of the danger, hyperlanes are all but required to fly through hyperspace.
Asher Shaw

## Biography

Born on Mars in Exodus , Asher Shaw was an only child within a very poor family who had been stuck on Mars for their entire lives. For the first ten years of the boy’s life, it was incredibly tough to scrape by and education was barely a factor; but after his parents had called in a favor to their relatives, Asher was taken in and transported back to Earth to be given a chance at life. From there he had made it far in his higher education, attending private school with the funding of his Aunt and Uncle and moving onto High School early. This time of his life is mostly unknown, but it was when a dramatic shift in his entire outlook and personality occurred.

After graduating with flying colors, he was quickly accepted into the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to pursue a major in the field of Theoretical Physics with a minor in Engineering. After the overly long 13 years of schooling, taking short breaks in between and working on side projects, Asher transferred to the Intergalactic Assembly Station to begin work with a smaller company. He made leaps and bounds in his fields, but ultimately fell into severe debt and began to take to laundering money and small robbery to gain his resources. He kept it hidden from the UN, even joining their science division to cover his tracks for the crimes committed. Asher has been with the United Nations as an Assistant Lead Physicist, but recently has been interested in going out into the field for more research opportunities.

## Skills and Abilities

* Skilled physicist.
* Experienced researcher with United Nations.
* Proficient with white collar crime.
Earth

## Description

Earth is a garden world home to the ambitious Human species. Covered in nearly 75% water, Earth's ever-decreasing landmass has pushed much of Humanity offworld and those remaining on Earth into incredibly vertical, densely populated cities.

## History

Similarly to most sentient species's homeworlds, Earth endured through hundreds of global catastrophes and evolutionary phases. In the end, the Humans came out on top and were the final result of evolution.

Come 2180 CE, Earth has entered a new golden age, resulting in longer Human lifespans, population stabilization, and incredibly high quality of life. However, some countries, especially in Africa, continue to stumble without the boon of space travel and remain stuck in the 20th century. Yet, the more affluent nations are not without their problems as the wage gap between rich and poor continues to spread like never before and the middle class emigrate off world as soon as they may afford it.

With much of Human industry now spread out across Sol, most Human governments have outlawed industries deemed harmful to the planet, and in doing so, disease, pollution, and other social ills are on the decline. Many species look on Earth with awe after witnessing its vast transformation during humanity's short time on the galactic landscape.

## Inhabitants

* 13.3 Billion Humans (homeworld)
* 1.12 Million Bushraks
* 400,000 Ganonsyoni
* < 300,000 Alien Refugees
* Wide range of fauna
A1-Q4

## Description

*A1-Q4* is the second of A1-Q's outer worlds. It is essentially a rock of unremarkable ores with some deposits of water ice, but no minerals of value. The frozen surface is composed of silica.

Like the gas giant A1-Q3, it is thought that A1-Q4 formed too close to its star and was thrown outwards by gravitational effects. Prometheus estimates it will be ejected from the system in a few hundred thousand years.
