Cosmological Intervention Charter

> "*There stands a barrier between the people and the world, a barrier that keeps out what governments can't pay to protect, a barrier that keeps out what conventional militaries can't shoot to slaughter, a barrier that keeps out what aristocrats can't lobby to lay claim. We are that barrier.*"

The **Cosmological Intervention Charter**, also known simply as the **CIC**, is a chartered semi-governmental organisation based in Selten (no specific primary HQ exists, but the current Chief Commissioner lives in the Unified Realms of Selten), operating both in national and international borders across the galaxy (both through legal and illegal means if they must). Established during the the Calypsian Conflict, absorbing several private and public military firms including religious and cultist movements pertaining to the Void and Psionics that held the responsibility at the time for exterminating the vermin of Heitec's underground unbeknownst to the knowledge of the general public, at least in the majority of cases. It claims responsibility for the locating, investigating and, if it must, the destruction of Spatium, Void, Psionic, generally unorthodox-related threats to galactic stability and life in general (as according to the Rotalat Allied Powers' mission for galactic stabilisation policy). It attains several subsidiaries tasked with, but not limited to: retaining a sense normalcy across the galaxy, the research and extermination of specific threats unrelated to political tensions, the acquisition and training of personnel and cooperation with governmental entities in order to fulfill their cause.

### **7-Point Mission Statement**

**CEPIDEC**

* **Concealment** - The CIC is to remain out of public cognisance as utmost possible.

* **Endurement** - The CIC is to never cease operations until all threats to stability and life have been nullified. No matter the current condition of the CIC it must continue to run at all costs until the death of its very last member or until its official dissolution under legal channels (a 100% majority vote in the internal CIC Commission and a greenlight by all members of the Rotalat).

* **Preservation** - The CIC is to attempt to recover all agents, personnel and collaborators lost in action, if possible. There is no space for a waste of resources.

* **Innovation** - The CIC is to constantly adapt to the enemy as it sees fit. Funding is to be received through self-economic independence and donations from national governments to constantly remain several steps ahead of the enemy.

* **Deliberation** - The CIC is to take cautious thought when taking action in any regard, be that administrative or military. Every action is to be carefully considered before being put into effect.

* **Extermination** - The CIC is to exterminate all major threats to stability and life liberally. Any sign of a potential galactic threat is to be treated seriously.

* **Cooperation** - The CIC is to attempt cooperating with foreign parties in order to achieve their goals. An enemy of an enemy is a friend... in the mean time.

 Commissioners

### **Commission of Seven**

The **Commission of Seven**, also simply known as the **Commission**, is the primary administrative body of the Cosmological Intervention Charter and its operations across Selten.

Comprising of seven Commissioners, they are regarded as consisting of the most powerful people in eastern, if not, all of Selten to the point that across the lower-levels of the CIC, intergovernmental organisations and the such, it has been rumored that many, from specific Agatropian nobles, Lunsariat aristocrats and possibly even the S.A.R.D itself make up just a selection of the Commission. In contrast to this belief, originally, the Commission was made up of the leaders of the original seven organisations that made up the first Cosmological Intervention Charter back in the day, but as time progressed and these original organisations were fully absorbed into the body that is the CIC, they eventually became an oligarchal force that elected their own members for their own commission.

Being the governing body of the organisation, they have complete access to the CIC's archives, history and tools. One aspect that has been consistent with them all is that they have been mentioned to be capable of utilising abnormal abilities in themselves, ranging from psionics to Void usage. Unlike the Chief Administrator, who's known across the CIC and similar organisations, very few know of the true identities of the Commission except for themselves, varying higher-ups in the CIC and particular individuals that are apart of other international governments/organisations. It's thought that the Commission is to also act as a safeguard in the event that the Chief Commissioner is incapable of leading the CIC, either due to death, going MIA or otherwise.

The following is a list of the current members of Commission. The names that they operate under are pseudonyms. It's currently unknown if each member represents one individual or an group of individuals operating under one name.

## Authorities

The CIC is extremely tolerant with its functioning across borders, politically, religiously and ethnically. Several distinct branches, Authorities, of the CIC exist to manage affairs in separate parts of the galaxy, adapting to local politics, cultures and customs accordingly. These branches tend to consist of the native people who live there. Due to the decentralised nature of the CIC, there is no primary headquarters beyond those belonging to specific branches. This decentralised management scheme exists both as a means for galactic cooperation and as a contingency plan to assure that the CIC can always function no matter how broken Selten may become. As long as one branch functions, the CIC is deemed fully operation.

### **Calypsi Authority**

Based in the Unified Realms of Selten and holding control over the CIC's matters in east-Selten, the Calypsi Authority is the oldest operating branch in the Charter. Established in the Heitecan underground during the Calypsian Conflict, Calypsi back in the day consisted of an amalgamation of several independent militia, scientific, psionic and Void-based groups. They tasked themselves with exterminating the unorthodox life that the Tighuramno invaders weaponised to plague the subterranean world they couldn't conquer. Calypsi would be the downfall of the Tighuramno on Heitec. The headquarters of Calypsi has remained in the very same place it was founded in over 12,000 years ago and is considered the de-facto headquarters to report to if the CIC ever deteriorates on a galactic scale (assuming that the headquarters is still functioning) due to the secure nature of Heitec's underground.

Being based in east-Selten, Calypsian operatives tend to be heavily Prudent in terms of culture and aesthetic. The typical Prudent gloves tend to be worn across all peoples, from the most general personnel to the most illustrious Psiologists and Void conjurers. It holds excellent relationships with its host-nations and continues to be supported by direct funds from the Unified Seltian government.

## Threats

### **Spatium Entities**

Spatium entities, or simply known as "Spatiums", are colonies of fungal infestations that tend to occur across the Galaxy of Selten. Spatiums are almost always radiotrophic in nature, utilising radionuclides to survive off of radiation rather than any form of gas (e.g. oxygen or carbon dioxide), using melanin to aid in this endeavour and therefore achieving a state of radiosynthesis. This, and their ability to adjust their physical forms accordingly, allow Spatiums to thrive in a vacuum and have little difficulty travelling through space itself. Spatiums aren't a singular species of fungi but rather a categorical term that refers to all species of fungi that utilise these methods of survival and show capabilities of forming basic sentience similar to that of a primitive animal or higher. Spatiums are capable of travelling through space at sub-light speeds, by latching onto vessels that pass by them or, in some cases, by using the Void itself to traverse vast distances.

Spatiums, while mostly non-sapient, hold some form of cognisance when in the form of mega-colonies, at least in most species. Spatiums, especially those that hold predatory lifestyle, will tend to form complex bodies that coincidentally imitate characteristics found in some species of known animals. For example, a species that bases itself on consuming non-organic space matter may adopt cephalopod-like characteristics to interact with their sustenance (it must be noted that this is not always the case), while smaller colonies may form a humanoid (one that stands or crawls accordingly) construction, capable of traversing on moons or planets and hunting for their own food to grow their colonies. Some species have been known to form a higher form of sapience when they form mega-colonies, therefore giving them a sense of "morality" in some sense and allowing them to perform strategic hunting techniques, dependent on said species and their capabilities of course.

As of current the origin of the Spatiums in the lower-ranks of the CIC and other organisations is vague to say the least, although they have fallen into the area of conspiracy theory, being attributed to both government experimentation during the Calypsian Conflict to natural Void phenomenon or even both.
