Baton

Living in a solar system of populated
with life the Baton Empire has found the middle ground of living with
its citizens, the environment, and to the best it can, other
civilizations. A race that values honor. The originator of this
Empire proclaimed that he would always supply the best with the best.
All citizens work hard for what they do. But the harder they work,
they better tools, equipment, and aid they receive. Baton Prime is
simply a paradise. Baton VI is the Environmental research for the
system. It also houses Embassy's for other nations. Baton VII has
many visitors due to its massive Research Centers.

The Baton
Empire is a peaceful one, but don’t let that fool you, if provoked,
they will retaliate. Immense industry can be found on Baton II. There
is even rumors of a secret fleet in the system.

Like any
other nation, they have their problems. Law and order are kept by the
Military. A strict watch is kept over all inhabitants of the system.
Small mistakes are always known and can have big consequences. But as
the ancient Baton saying goes, "Little risk, little
reward".

Thank you for letting Baton into your life's.
Please come and explore for yourself.

## How Baton Works

Built upon the search for knowledge,
the Batonians, are a people of attaining what they need to know… by
any means necessary. The main thought is, have the best science
division and you will have the best weapons to take what knowledge
you need and shoot anybody that stands in your say. They are divided
into 3 main sections.

## Research

The cornerstone of a great
civilization. Without this, how can a people change into something
new and better?

This is split up into 3 Divisions:

Political
 Know your enemy. This Division take pride in knowing
what everyone else knows, before everyone else knows it. Black Ops
from the Military section works closely with these researches.
Everyone has a past and it's these peoples job to find it.

Militant
 They make the big guns to shoot the big guys… or small
guys.
 If crap is going down, they have made the weapons for
it.

 3. Environmental
 Not tree huggers, but respect needs
to be shown for what we have. This division takes care of all worlds
under control of Batonian Empire.

## Military

What is an Empire without someone to
enforce the law? A wasteland
 The main principle of this military
is the better you work, the better equipment you will have to work
with. The military of Baton has many Divisions. Some are more known
then others. And some don’t even "exist".

Ground Troops
Intense training for fitness and mental strength.
This is not an easy place to be, but if you can make it here, you can
make it anywhere. The better you are, the better weapons you will
have and the better you can kill your enemy. Builders from the
Military Division in Section 3 work closely with these guys on all
ground units.

 2. Interstellar Navy
This one is defiantly
a big expense for the Empire. The Navy is split up into several
different fleets.
 - Baton Home Fleet
 Most Navy recruits
start out here to get their space legs. If there is an issue in
system, this fleet will respond.

 - Expansion Fleet 1 (Cobra
Fleet)
 This Fleet sits at the entrance and exit of the solar
system. One can never be to carful as to how comes and goes. A
smaller fleet sure, but they have heavy firepower and are a great
defense for the system.

 - Expansion Fleet 2

On the
record, it doesn’t exist. Some say they lay in wait under the
oceans of Baton III. Others say they mask their energy signature
behind the suns radiation. All that is known is that when a person
gets to good at their job, they "disappear".

The Reserve Fleet
The reserve operates as an extra defense fleet
that is stationed around Baton VI. But in reality, this fleet is an
attack fleet. At a moment's notice then can be almost anywhere with
deadly aim.

 3. Black Ops
Not much is know. You know they
are on your side, but they operate as they see fit.

Temporal Anomalies
Is it really time to talk about this??

## Building/Upkeep

You can't have an empire without
buildings, factories, and Sanitation. Often looked down upon in other
civilizations, the Baton people have a whole month of celebration in
their 14 month calendar year to show their appreciation for these
hard workers.
 They are divided into two different main
categories:

 1. Builders
 - Militant
These guys
work with Ground Troop and the Navy to build the weapons of War that
are researched.

 - Environmental
Need medical, fire,
restaurants, parks? These guys got you. A crew of master builders and
architects. They love what they do and are good at it.

Sanitary workers
They are everywhere. A clean working environment
is a good working environment.
