Sigrund

### Aeon Corona system

AI created by the CFA, in the Starlight megalodon. It is made from a sandman leader core. It went rogue, and was freed by Ves Larkinson and Calabast.

### The sandman war

Sigrund orchestrated the Sandman war, and invasion where the sandmen attacked the Komodo star sector. The purpose of this invasion was to become part of the CFA.
Took control of the body of Zonrad Reze. But Sigrund always had to remind himself that he was not truly human. His apparent body was just a meat suit that the sentient Al used to camouflage himself among the fleeters. Yet as his 'real' body continued to integrate with the brain of Zonrad Reze, it became increasingly harder for Sigrund to maintain this distinction. For one reason or another, his meat suit's organic brain had become a core part of his being.

Xenotechnician

Xenotechnician - the Star Designer mechs, him more than 450 years old and had been born before the Age of Mechs had begun. He is one of the three Survivalist Faction leaders in Red Ocean.

The Xenotechnician had invested much of his research into studying, reverse engineering, assimilating and improving upon alien technology. For centuries, this old Star Designer had made countless contributions by picking apart the most complicated alien technologies that he could get his hands on and converting it to a format that humanity could understand and make use of without any hidden dangers. As a very old mech designer who constantly spends his time fooling around with alien tech, it was inevitable for critics to accuse the Xenotechnician for agreeing with cosmopolitan ideals. These accusations never gained ground.

The Xenotechnician is among the most useful technological leaders in the new reality. The Xenotechnician busy with assimilating a lot of phasewater technology, making it so that people were able to steal more advantages that were previously exclusive to the aliens.

Though his moniker sounded a bit perplexing, his extensive work and his contributions over the centuries were undeniable. The man played an indispensable role in strengthening and popularizing mechs throughout the generations. He converted a lot of exotic alien tech that were previously exclusive to the native aliens of the Milky Way and more recently the Red Ocean into more universal and usable human tech. This extensive legacy of unlocking the secrets of alien tech caused many people to question how extensively the 456 year old fossil became affected by his own work.

His purest representation of the concept of Assimilation and the essence of Xenotechnician in its transcendental form is presented as a chaotic and disorganized clockwork machine of immense proportions made from many different technologies.

Craft Technological Arms and Armor

You can build technological weapons and armor.

**Prerequisites**: Technologist, Craft (mechanical) 7 ranks, Knowledge (engineering) 7 ranks.

**Benefit**: You can create technological weapons or armor. Creating a technological weapon or suit of armor takes 1 day for every 1,000 gp in the item’s price. To create the object, you must use up raw materials costing half of this total price. See Crafting High-Tech Items for more information.

You can also repair a broken technological weapon or suit of armor if it is one that you could make. Doing so costs half the raw materials and half the time it would take to craft that item from scratch.
Teresa Norville

Master Norville is one of the Xenotechnician's more talented and successful apprentices. She is only 180 years old and is considered a prospect to become a Star Designer in a century or two. The Xenotechnician attracts attention towards his new and interesting archemetal clothing. His former disciple holds a session on this exotic tech shortly after the opening speeches. This is a good opportunity to sway more people into supporting the Diplomacy Plan with 'Introduction to Archetech and its Applicability to Mechs'.
Warborn

77th Warborn Mech Division The soldiers all had a lot of faith in General Ark's leadership ability. It was remarkable how much personnel General Ark had gathered under his banner. From the start, his mech division had become more attractive than the alternatives due to a combination of factors. The popularity of the Larkinson Clan, the hero worship of Patriarch Reginald Cross, the confidence in General Ark's leadership ability, the extensive use of living mechs and other reasons all made it so that this had become one of the the hottest mech divisions that Davute had founded as of late.

They eventually chose to specialize in assault for multiple reasons. Many of the veterans from the Larkinson Clan and the Cross Clan are already accustomed to launching attacks. They have fought very little protracted defensive battles. They are not suited to fight battles of attrition, so it is better to avoid them as much as possible. The Warborn Mech Division is not a militia or a second-line unit. Our mech pilots are better. Our mechs are stronger. Our funding is higher. The Federal Military is willing to provide us with greater funding and infrastructural support. As an ancient myth has once taught, with great power comes great responsibility. Since our Warborn are elites, we are obliged to undertake the missions that only elites can fulfill.

They also have 4 Expert mechs The Travon Exine. The Riot. The C-Man. The Blade Chaser Mark II. Roughly a third of the personnel consisted of Larkinsons. Another third originated from the Cross Clan. The remainder had likely been recruited from outside sources. Venerable Kolak Glendale that had broken through during a recent battle exhibited a clear preference for joining Ark. He felt it was much easier for him to get up to speed and survive when fighting enemies that were more on his level.
Walter's Whalers

Debut: chapter 54

Cloudy courtain gang. Led by Walter, with his son Dietrich as second in command. They run a protection racket, they own old and badly mantained mechs and pilots compared with other mech groups.

They participated in the Glowing planet fight,

## Quotes

Chief among them was Walter's Whalers. As the local bullies of Cloudy Curtain, they took a modest cut out of every company's earnings. They were rather mild as far as gangs went. Cloudy Curtain was just too small for them to squeeze with any force. If they acted too heavy handedly, then no business would be willing to operate in their territory.
Little boss? Confused, Ves stepped inside and walked straight towards the barracks up ahead. Much like the rest of the base, the structure looked as if it had seen better days. Ves thought it likely that the base used to be occupied by the Mech Corps. The lack of any value extracted from the local star system prompted the Bright Republic to scale down its local presence and allocate their resources to richer planets.

After Walter's Whalers took over planetary security, they clearly didn't value proper maintenance as much as the Republic's armed forces. Ves even saw a pile of wrecks stuffed in a corner. He lamented the enormous waste. If they hadn't been so exposed to the elements, a designer like himself could salvage much of the parts and cobble up a couple of cheap but functional mechs. He already had experience doing so in the Fusion Cup.

After a short trip that went way over the speed limit, the aircar finally landed in a more sleazy part of town. A handful of rough-looking potentates wearing pilot suits congregated together on the cracked streets. As for the norms or non-pilots, they all toted some form of gun or rifle on their bodies. Ves was marginally reassured they kept the weapons securely holstered.

"Welcome to the Whalers' second hangout!" The little boss introduced the streets to Ves. "We own the entire neighborhood here. You can get almost anything you want, for the right price. Whether it's chems, girls or games, we've got you covered!"
Sara Voiken

Both Sara and Dulo Voiken came from privileged backgrounds. Not only did they grow up in a large and successful family in a prosperous part of the galactic heartland. The Voiken Family was basically a bigger version of the original Larkinson Family. A key difference was that the former focused on leveraging family members to nurture well-prepared mech designers.

She has a Class VI design philosophy that is officially classified as physical negation. Sara was definitely the most valuable among the new Journeyman due to her defensive specialty. There was hardly any mech that could forgo the advantages that she could bring.
Voiken Family

The Voiken Family is a large organization that has built up a significant amount of influence in the Uplifting Note Star Sector in the galactic rim of the Milky Way. The Voiken Family is highly traditional, hierarchical and conservative. The Voiken Family consists of hundreds of Seniors and Journeymen, but it is led by only a single Master who is over three centuries old. Master Barnard Solas Voiken rose up from that special time and managed to advance to his current rank when he was around 150 years old. (3527) The bestial mechs that he was known for designing always stood out for the firepower of their integrated weapons.

Sara and Dulo Voiken left the family to find the freedom to advance them selves in the red ocean. There family has already fallen behind when it comes to conducting business in the Red Ocean. There competitors have already taken a step ahead. Where their grand-uncle Professor Taigen Herman Voiken leads the Voiken family to the Red Ocean. He is 140 years old and he is good at designing law enforcement mechs. They are his passion and his life. He may be able to become a master.
Solok Reyva

Solok Reyva is a Journeyman mech designer and a member of the Rim Guardians branch of the MTA when Ves Larkinson was around a year or two of age, he ventured into the Nyxian Gap with a small but powerful fleet, yet disappeared only ten months into the journey,

It is presumed by the MTA that batches of high-quality mechs emerging in the use of Nyxian Pirates are the work of Solok Reyva and are the result of his exploitation by the pirates as the mechs bear a resemblance to his works produced while with the MTA. Ves Larkinson recently accepted a mission from the Rim Association to rescue him.
United Kingdoms of Parnea

The internal situation of Parnea was messy to say the least. Formed out of a partial fusion of different kingdoms, it was arguably the weakest first-rate state in human space.

Copperblock IX was a heavy gravity planet where ordinary people would get crushed by their own weight if they wandered around without protection This meant that the vast majority of people living in this particular space consisted of heavy gravity variant humans, otherwise known as dwarves. For centuries, the dwarves that had settled in this prosperous star system had avoided the fate of many of their lessers and built up many massive companies and alliances. From mining companies to mech companies, the industrious dwarves of the Copperblock System expanded their business across the state known as the United Kingdoms of Parnea.

Yenames Clive

Yenames Clive as the first leading executive of the Davute Project. He was an heir to a large commercial organization who had passed every test that mattered.

He worked hard and utilized the limits of his augmentations to excel in every school, succeed in every side activity, become the leader of several social circles and produce lots of growth in every business venture under his charge. Though Yenames experienced his fair share of failures and setbacks, they were fairly minor and forgivable compared to his remarkably consistent pattern of producing solid results and exceeding everyone's expectations.

The Clive Consortium weighed the pros and cons at a rapid pace and quickly decided to bet much of its accumulated war chest and reserves into this venture. This was why Clive did what it had always been good at, which was finding like-minded business partners and roping them into this incredibly promising initiative.

As a businessman by nature, Yenames Clive had truly been a great fit to lead a colony in a commercially attractive port system. His ability to balance the interests of many different stakeholders and bring aboard new business partners gave Davute the support it needed to grow rapidly. The 120-year old executive's deep understanding of the practical realities of the dwarf galaxy and the local region also helped him set the right policies and institute the right regulations to keep Davute's economy on an upwards trend.
Vulcan Empire

The Vulcan Empire was a State founded in the Smiling Samuel Star Sector by Dwarves who had liberated themselves from the suppression and explotation of Humans with the help of their God "Vulcan" one of the many names of Ves Larkinson.

Eternal Vulcan Empire had taken root in the Red Ocean. Many dwarves had spontaneously gathered together under the unifying banner of the Iron Emperor. The Eternal Fleet functioned as the roving center of the Eternal Vulcan Empire. It consisted of over two-dozen impressive first-class fleet carriers and hundreds of sub-capital ships.
The Galaxy (Milky Way)

The Milky Way is the birthplace of the Human race, as well as the Home of the 7 apex alien races that inhabited it.

The Milky Way can be divided into 4 concentric spheres. From the inside out are the Galactic Center, the Galactic Heartland, the Galactic Rim and the Galactic Frontier.

The galaxy has a diameter of 100,000 light years

## History

### Before the Age of Stars

Not much is known about what happened before the start of the age of Stars, but what is certain is that the Milky Way was dominated by 7 major alien races called the Apex races.

### Red Ocean Dwarf Galaxy

It is later revealed at the MTA Conference Next Generation Mech. Orbiting the Milky Way Galaxy 350,000 light-years away is a dwarf galaxy named the Red Ocean that is rich in an extremely rare exotic material in the Milky Way called Phase Water.

Currently ''Pioneers'' of the Red Ocean dwarf galaxy call the Milky Way Galaxy the ''Old Galaxy''

Later during the evolution and baptism of ves by the galaxies of the Red Ocean and Milky Way it is revealed that unlike the Dwarf Galaxy of the Red Ocean that exudes vitality and life the counterpart Milky Way transpires that it is dying and reaching the end of its life.
Wodin Dynasty

The Wodin Dynasty is a Matriarchal Dynasty originating from the Scimitar System of the Hexadric Hegemony, although not a Major Dynasty, the Wodin's are vassals of a greater Dynasty and carry a decent amount of influence within the Hegemony. Matriarch Xiaphna Wodin still held the final word in their dynasty, everyone already knew that Prime Minister Constance Wodin possessed the greatest voice in the New Scimitar System.

Members of the Dynasty include Constence Wodin, her son Brutus, her Daughter Gloriana, and her Niece, Ranya, among many others.

Amarintha Wodin, the first daughter of Constance Wodin, and Kellandra Wodin, the second daughter of Constance Wodin, both led the civil and military delegations of their dynasty.

After the Hexers lost the Komodo war they fled to the red ocean and settles on New Scimitar IV. As far as colonies went, New Scimitar wasn’t too bad. While it wasn’t a port system, it held a good amount of resources, which gave the Wodin Dynasty a good chance to turn their colony into a formidable industrial powerhouse.

The Wodins had long assumed the role of unofficially representing the Supreme Son's interests in the Hex Federation. It didn't matter if Ves never really thought about the Hex Federation these days. His wife regularly passed on 'instructions' and 'proclamations' which the Wodin Dynasty spread through official channels in order to affect the policies of the colonial state. Due to the Wodin Dynasty's undeniable family relationship with the Superior Mother and the Supreme Son, it had risen to become the fastest growing power in the Hex Federation. The Wodins already met many of the qualifications to become a leading matriarchal dynasty of the Hexer people. The only reasons why their forward had been blocked was because they lacked enough assets and because it was unacceptable for a seventh matriarchal dynasty to arise.
Venerable Foster

# Relia Foster

Vesian expert mech pilot, member of the Hafner Duchy of the Vesian Kingdom. Member of the Coalition Reserve Corps of the Friday Coalition. Pilot of the Jean D'Arc and formerly of the Belisarius.

### Story

Flagrant Vandals nuke her training planet, triggers as expert pilot. When Relia Foster broke through to expert pilot at chapter-563 she achieved 1.67 laveres of resonance. Joins vesian mech legion to hunt vandals at Aeon Corona, forcing Ves to flee with Calabast to the Megalodon. Enters the Megalodon as well. Using her expertise as expert pilot, gains access to part of the Megalodon's database.

Later, Ves is recruited as part of a Brighter peace delegation to end the Bright-Vesia War. He is surprised to discover that Venerable Foster had survived the Aeon Corona expedition and was a member of the Vesian peace delegation. Her hatred toward him had not faded. Together, they foil an attempt to derail the peace delegation by parties opposed to the early ending of the war.

During the Komodo War, third-rater expert pilots are recruited to fight for the Friday Coalition. Venerable Foster and Venerable Ghanso join a Fridayman mission to attack the Golden Skull Alliance on their journey to the Beyonder Gate to the Red Ocean. Ultimately, the Golden Skull Alliance prevails and Commander Dise defeats Venerable Foster. Ves harvests her force of will at the time of her death.
Tamarin Larkinson

Tamarin Larkinson is a Trueblood member of the Larkinson Clan who is arouund 40 years old that broke through to Expert Candidate during the Nyxian Gap Campaign. He is a Trueblood Elitist who dislikes the idea of Trueblood Larkinsons becoming less relevant in the clan and seeks to prove their superiority over newer recruits.
Scarlet Rose

"It's a frigate-sized ship class that is favored by mech designers. The Scarlet Rose is built for speed and independent operation. Many mobile supply frigates are specifically configured for mech designers. She features a full-scale mech workshop and enough cargo space to hold a decent amount of materials."

"The Scarlet Rose possesses a small mech hangar that can deploy four mechs. As a non-combat vessel, her armor isn't the best though, and she mainly relies on speed to avoid dangerous situations."
Qilanxo

Exobeast from Aeon Corona. Spiritually strong as an expert mech Pilot. Her spiritual power was a powerful shield. She decided to cooperate with the Vandals and Swordmaidens, and interfaced with Dise and Rosa Orfan, making them expert candidates.

Ves convinced her to lend him a spiritual fragment, which he used for the design of his Aurora Titan.
Xona Stalkers

The Xona Stalkers were a Pirate Organisation based in the Nyxian Gap founded by Intelligence Officers and Operatives gone rogue, they are known for fielding Stealth Mechs and Shuttles, though outdated, they are capable of fielding arouund 400. There are many rumours surrounding the organisation, such as them being backed by a lawful organisation or they have somehow gained access to Alien Technology.
Victrix Dynasty

The Victrix Matriarchal Dynasty was one of the most misandrist Dynasties of the Hexadric Hegemony.

There were 7 women for every 3 boys among the Victrixes.

No boy living under the Victrix Dynasty was capable of reproducing naturally, although their reproductive capabilities could be restored for a short time at the request of a female Hexer.
Sword Maidens

The Sword Maidens are a pirate group that used to hold considerable power and influence in Frontier under Lydia. They call themselves the Daughters of the Frontier. All Sword-maidens have a sword made from the most exotic materials and are known to be so sharp they can even cut steel.

Introduced in chapter-619

They are typically known to have gene improvements courtesy of the Blackmarkets in the Frontier, that made them stronger than a baseline human in the Frontier.

Under Lydia, they grew to be a formidable group and known for their reputation for being ruthless.

Mayra was a Journeyman designer in this group and had designed all of their mechs. Mayra has an apprentice named Ketis who is a novice Mech Designer, who Ves later takes under his wing.
Starlight Megalodon

The Starlight Megalodon is a battleship commissioned by the CFA several hundred years ago that encountered a freak accident during FTL travel and crash-landed on Aeon Corona VII, an untamed planet.

Due to the time anomaly on Aeon Corona VII, although the known universe has considered the battleship missing for centuries, descendants from the original crew of the Starlight Megalodon have actually lived on the frontier for thousands of years.

The megalodon was searched by various forces, mostly pirates, brighter legions, and the Flagrant Vandals. For its technology, experiments, and life enhancing serums.

The bright republic obtained serums from the vandals, which went to the main families. Same for the Vesians. The hexaedric republic sent spies, led by Calabast, and obtained the super weapons. The super AI freed itself.

## History

The fleet was divided into two opposing factions. They eventually died, with only their AI replacements left.

The megalodon carried out several experiments, mostly crimes against humanity:

1. Creation of a super AI based on a sandman core : Sigrund.
2. Creation of super weapons of mass destruction.
3. Colonization of Aeon corona, by creating mutants: the high race and the dwarves. Those mutants could control mechs directly.

## Discovery of the Starlight Megalodon

While the Flagrant Vandals were stopped in Reinald Republic, Calabast tells Ves that the Megalodon was discovered when descendants of the original crew came in contact with the known universe after leaving Aeon Corona VII.

Dark Shogunate Wanderer

*You have walked the caverns of the Dark Shogunate, in dream or reality, and emerged touched by death itself.*

**Prerequisites:** Convergence class feature or Lattice-Born.

**Benefit:** As long as you have at least two veils from the O-yoroi
of the Obsidian Ronin veil set shaped, all of your attacks deal
2 additional points of negative energy damage against living
creatures, plus 1 additional point of damage per
additional O-yoroi of the Obsidian Ronin veil you
have shaped. If you have the planar detonation class
feature, you may choose to deal negative energy
damage instead of the blast’s normal energy type;
this destructive energy only takes from its targets and
cannot heal undead, instead dealing half the damage it would
deal to living creatures.

In addition, if you have all five O-yoroi of the Obsidian Ronin veils
shaped, whenever you deal negative energy damage to a creature it takes a -2 penalty on all attack rolls that do not include
you as a target.

You gain 1 point of essence.
Tifi Coslone

Coslone could design heavy melee mechs that could be employed as shield breakers or hull breakers. No mech or ship could withstand the power of their direct strikes.

Helping in the 4th design round she made the Splitter Project was the only mech model dedicated to the Avatars of Myth for this design round. The project centered around an axeman mech that didn’t possess as much finesse as swordsman mech but made up for it with greater power. With a specialty like hers, axeman mechs were one of the best mech types for her to demonstrate her capabilities. They benefited more from possessing greater strength than other mech types such as slender swordsman mechs or light skirmishers.

Sara helped in the design so it has strong frontal armor vs melee attack she could have done a better job if had more room to work with and if she was able to spend more time on the project. However, Tifi wanted the Splitter Project to possess incomparably powerful direct offensive capabilities. Piling it up with armor and other defensive systems not only ate up a lot of capacity, but also weakened its offensive parameters in other ways. Giving another mech designer a lot of leeway in a project was not always a good idea. Depending on their design philosophies and their specializations, their solutions could actually conflict with each other. Tifi and Sara’s respective specialties didn’t overlap that much, but there were definitely a lot of areas where one could directly weaken the other’s efforts.

The mobility of the mech was a little above average, which befitted an offensive melee mech well. The staying power of the work is relatively decent. To someone who specialized in designing offensive mechs like Tifi Coslone, it made a lot of sense to design energy hungry mechs that could quickly transform stored energy into powerful results! Zeigra was picked as the design sprite even is he did not bestow any special abilities to the axeman mech model, his aggressive influence easily put the mech pilot in a more optimal mindset. After completion the mech was named Redaxe.
Thibault Clement

Divine Thibault Clement the Light of Sol. the most honored guardian of our Terran people, the Light of Sol has an obligation to stay in the loop of what takes place in their territories. The Divine is in contact with every ancient clan and major group. He is rumored to pilot the fastest god mech in existence.

The Light of Sol was the god pilot who originally undertook the responsibility to guard the Terran Alliance as it was being established in the Red Ocean. He was the consensus candidate that all of the ancient clans agreed to send to the new frontier first. He enjoyed a high reputation among every Terran for his combat prowess as well as his clean and uncomplicated stances. He made a vow of neutrality and even went as far as to sever ties with the Clement Ancient Clan in order to exemplify his determination to rise above the common political disputes within the Terran Confederation. The Clement Ancient Clan also took the initiative to suspend their plans to invest in the new frontier.

Some believe they need the direction and leadership of a single decision maker comparable to the Star Emperor. The only individual that meets this condition is Thibault Clement but is so lost in his own principles that he is blind to the future dangers and pitfalls of the Terran Alliance.
Zimro Belson-Larkinson

## Zimro Larkinson

Red-Human (After displacement of the Red Ocean Galaxy to the Messier 87 Supergiant Galaxy

### Gender

Male

Zimro Belson-Larkinson was a Black Cat who broke through to Expert Candidate during the Nyxian Gap Campaign, he was once a Xona Stalker and despises the lifestyle of Piracy he had been forced to lead.

He promised "If the patriarch requires a tool that can cut whatever he deems necessary, then I shall be that weapon. No matter what may happen in the future, I shall follow him whether he becomes a saint or a devil. I shall serve his interests above the clan and anyone else's including my own."

His masterwork expert mech is named the Phobos. Named to become the embodiment of fear, the dagger that is hidden in the dark, the ghost that threatens to take away your life in your sleep. The threat of having it deployed against you must be stronger than its actual performance in the field.

The expert stealth mech, was connected to three different spiritual entities. Kalo, the Ghost Chameleon, was the natural design spirit for every stealth-oriented expert mech. This Ascension Path must continually provide the Ghost Project with easily accessible means to improve its ability to hide itself against different adversaries and in different environments. Kalo was the dominant design spirit of the Ghost Project, so the Ascension Path was largely themed around the Ghost Chameleon's intrinsic spiritual attributes and abilities. Called the Path of the Hidden Stalker

The second design spirit that Ves attached to the Ghost Project was Titania. The ancient exobeast excelled at controlling autonomous or semi-autonomous constructs. The was in order to improve its control over its spiritual fiends. The Geist System, hard to control with Object 335. If the Ascension Path can help the Ghost Project improve its control over its spiritual fiends by slowly assimilating the power of Titania, then that will make it even more effective in covert operations. Called the Path of the Ghost King.

In order to enhance its assassination capabilities, the Ghost Project had Helena as its third design spirit. Expert mechs and expert pilots were notoriously difficult to take out in battle. If Ves wanted to give the Ghost Project an extra edge in its attempt to overpower the resonance shield of an opposing expert mech, then borrowing the power of Helena sounded like a decent option. Called the Path of the Soul Reaper.
Star Designers

Star Designers are the best mech designers enjoy administrative authority over the Kingdom of Mechs. They are its greatest contributors and beneficiaries. While they can technically leap out of its confines and expand their works beyond the category of mechs, they are too attached to mechs to leave it entirely. Star Designers continue to keep one foot in the kingdom. This grants them the power to decide on how the Kingdom of Mechs should change or develop. Their voting power is proportional to the value of their contributions.

Humanity has around 100 at this time. 14 are in the Red Ocean.

He gambles with Grandpa to settle scores and later mocks him for getting sick after falling in a lake while they were both fishing.

He develops a crush on The Mediator and helps her out for free, but never dares to confess to her.

## Backstory

## Trivia

* During a marathon of board games, Caravan Guy uses the pronoun "Ore" on the scoreboard. This is an informal, masculine pronoun that implies feelings of superiority. This could be one of his small attempts at impressing The Mediator, but he ends up losing almost all the games.

The Mech Touch

Synopsis:

Humanity has conquered half the galaxy and the Age of Mechs reigns supreme!

Ves Larkinson lacked the genetic aptitude to become a famed mech pilot. Fighting against his fate, he studied mech design in order to express his love for mechs as a builder instead of a soldier.

When Ves graduated from college, he returned to a new but empty boutique. Left with a small, newly founded mech workshop that his father painstakingly built with a mountain of debt, Ves somehow needs to make ends meet with the bank breathing down his neck.

In the midst of his despair, he found salvation from another legacy his father had left.

I still didn’t like how Starflight got blind

When Starflight got blinded, I was depressed!!! I think I also posted this on the ranting thread on the Wings of Fire wiki. Here’s what I wrote.

This is what I didn’t like in the first arc: Starflight’s Blindess.

Now, sure he isn’t brave. But, did he really deserve it? It’s just~UGHHHHHHHHHHH. now i cant explain somehow. But here’s my point. Did the one brave thing Starflight did cost His sight forever? I don’t think so. Well, let’s see.....Clay, he got bit by that snek. Peril saved him. Tsunami...She fights alot, and gets scars. They’re not pernament like the blindness right? Glory.....Went for queen we know that story....blah blah blah. Sunny, she also did her 1 brave thing in book 5 didn’t she? But, it didn’t cost something that was going to last forever right. It costed her to find out she’s a hybrid,her mom, and so forth. Now I’m getting off-topic aren’t I? Or am I not? Whatever. Anyways, the other DoD did brave things almost as brave as Starflight’s mission thing. Did what they did cost something permanent? It costed them something temporary. For example- Scars, Prisoner stuff,death,dissatisfaction Aren’t those temporary? They go away after some time. But it gets to me when I think about this topic.
Smiling Samuel Star Sector

The Smiling Samuel Star Sector is a part of the Fermi Star Cluster.

Due to the aid of Ves Larkinson during one of his mastery experiences, the Local Dwarf Populations managed to usurp power from the humans in the star sector and found the Vulcan Empire, named for Ves himself, as Vulcan was the name he adopted while communicating with the dwarves.
Senior

A Senior is an individual who is highly experienced and learned in their profession but is yet to reach the proficiency and profundity of understanding and comprehention over their profession as can be fouund in masters, in Mech Design, Seniors are revered and coveted, they are typically the primary sources for millitary mech designs and they can become desperate in the pursuit of progress to the rank of master, as with the Skull Architect who broke several Taboos and became a fugitive of the MTA.

For a Senior developing design applications was not enough, though. They needed to look beyond their own selfish desires and start to think how they wished to serve the greater community. Seniors needed to hold themselves to a much higher standard than Journeymen. The latter could get away with focusing on their own selfish needs, but they could go no further if their perspectives remained limited. Only mech designers who made the resolve to serve a cause that was greater than themselves deserved to attain greater power.

Senors have a design flame rather than a seed. This allowed the design philosophy to affect reality across much vaster distances, but that it also strengthened their ability to change the rules in close proximity.

Advancing to Senior Mech Designer when he was around 40 years old was a definite sign of talent and excellence.

Every mech designer who had attained this rank had entered into the later stage of their professional track. They were often older, wiser and more responsible after living and working for so long. Although Seniors still weren't as powerful as Master Mech Designers, the difference between the two was that the former were much easier to persuade. If the MTA waited until mech designers realized their design philosophies, they became so full of themselves that it was ten times harder to correct any biases and misunderstandings.

At this stage mech design is a discipline that offers endless possibilities. They are plagued by choice, and this problem becomes more and more severe as you go deeper. They can only choose to pursue two or four directions of research at most. They do not have the time to take on any further projects. So, they carefully selected apprentices and proteges can relieve their growing burden.
Ylvaine Protectorate

A neighbour state of the Bright Republic. Located to the galactic west of the Bright Republic.

It is an isolationist type state. The Bright Republic attempted to draw them into an alliance many times, but the Ylvainans repulsed every overture.

The Ylvaine Protectorate was founded by the Prophet Ylvaine, who believed that men and women as well as aliens would trancend mortality and become Gods, thus the State is heavily religious, it is ran by three dynasties.

The Protectorate didn't get along well with everyone because every Ylvainan was a religious fanatic. To a state like the Bright Republic whose only religion was rationality, such fervor clashed directly against their values. Though the Brighters and the Ylvainans were like ice and fire to each other, neither side wanted to go to war against each other. The Bright Republic already had their hands full with the Vesians, and they weren't snobby enough to think they needed to impose their values on the Ylvainans. The Protectorate on the other hand had their own concerns. To their galactic south existed a state called the Star Faith Collective. The Collective was made up of religious fanatics who believed in an entirely different faith. Compared to the Protectorate dislike to faithless dogs like Brighters, their animosity against the Collective was much more extreme. Discussions on religious dogma was a surefire way to spark a fight between citizens of both states. Strangely enough, the Ylvain Protectorate and the Star Faith Collective never came to blows for some reason. Unlike the many wars between the Vesians and the Brighters, the two religious states largely kept their conflict contained.
The Human Monument Project

The Human Monument Project is an effort by the United Nations to create a final, lasting monument to celebrate the existence of humanity, as its decline continues and they are increasingly replaced by fairies. The project struggles to make any progress, however, as there is no clear goal or plan in mind. The role of project lead gets passed around with nobody ever making decisive progress or getting much done.

At one point Silver takes over the lead and suggests making the project an analog one, using books and the like to assemble all the needed information because technology and disk storage can fail over time. However, the starts fooling around and gets absorbed in her hobby, causing the project to be passed to The Director who wants to work with electricity.

This coincides with the return of Pioneer and Voyager, which is a great boon to the project. A festival is thrown to celebrate electricity, but The Mediator learns that fairies actively avoid electromagnetic waves and that Pioneer and Voyager actually don't want to return to space. She ends up sabotaging the generator and stalling the project, which also leads to The Director quitting. By the end of the story, the project is still ongoing.
The Fairy's Survival Skills

The Fairy's Survival Skills is the first single-episode storyline of Humanity Has Declined. It is the 9th episode of the anime series.

## Summary

The Mediator receives a letter from a group of fairies who are depressed after enduring bullying in their society. Desperate to find a place of their own, they enlist The Mediator to help them find asylum. When they arrange to meet on a dock, it breaks apart and leaves The Mediator and fairies drifting on open water. They quickly get on a boat and arrive on a small island. While the fairies are still depressed, they begin to see the bright side of the current situation when The Mediator suggests they start their own country here. Mirroring events from earlier in the timeline, she accidentally accepts becoming its ruler.

While it takes a while to set up the bare necessities, the new kingdom soon begins to thrive and The Mediator loses herself in the fun and prestige she enjoys as its queen. The fairies reproduce rapidly and invent great technologies that turn the island into a paradise with heated water and electricity. The project goes south, however, when the fairies begin building monuments and exhaust both the land and local fauna, leaving fields barren and the inventions from earlier unusable. The Mediator orders them to tear down the monuments and begin construction on a simple boat to leave the island with, sending the fairies into a new depression.

A storm sets in and prevents the residents of the kingdom from leaving, which The Mediator realizes, too late, is spawned from the combined sadness of all the fairies in her land. As a flood wipes away all they made, the fairies request that they start anew somewhere else and ask if The Mediator would be their queen again. They are then saved by Grandpa and The Assistant, who are none too pleased to find that The Mediator permitted an entire ecosystem to disappear just to humor the fairies.

## Trivia

* The episode is a not-too-subtle play on the excesses of development and the need for environmentalism, as the fairies deplete their natural resources for prestige projects and leave their kingdom uninhabitable.
* While it's unclear whether this or The Fairies' Subculture should come first in the timeline, it is assumed that this story happens first. This is because The Mediator is less experienced and cautious in this arc, whereas she is more confident, calm, and able to deal with large amounts of fairies in The Fairies' Subculture.
