Orion Nero Initiative Wiki

Orion Nero Initiative is a short story, set in the distant future, revolving around an intercontinental conflict between two factions, the Alvitr Central Security (ACS) and the Orion Nero Initiative (ONI). The continent that the story is set on is called Atlanta, separated from the rest of the countries on Earth. In the continent are four countries; Alvitr, Ansaris, Orion, and Nero. The story follows the conflict between the two factions and the ONI's retaliation to the ACS aggression into neighbouring countries.

## Setting

In the year 2061, the previous military and political power that controlled the entire Atlanta Continent, also known as the Atlanta Federation was dissolved after suffering from a rebellion by the Director of the Federation himself. The military force under the command of the Federation, Central Security headed by the Director of the Federation, Eric Saunders creates an alliance with the Alvitr Kingdom headed by Armin Alvitr to create the Alvitr Central Security, whose goal was to invade Ansaris and begin harvesting a rare crystal only found in Ansaris, called the Alkania Crystal. The crystal is provide to be the most eco-friendly, long lasting source of energy that man has ever come across, producing four times more energy than solar, wind, hydro or geothermal energy.

The Atlanta Federation was an intercontinental government organisation that aimed to; maintain intercontinental peace and security; develop friendly relations among countries; achieving intercontinental cooperation, such as trade; and a centre for harmonising actions between the four countries before it was dissolved.

With the entire military force of the Federation becoming the ACS fighting force, the ONI was created to halt the ACS Aggression into Ansaris and prevent them from harvesting the Alkania crystals and exploiting them to attack other countries outside the continent.

**Operation Kilimanjaro**, informally known as the **Battle of Olympus**, is a joint military operation conducted by the 7th Infantry Division involving two phases; including the attack on two ACS-controlled air bases located to the North and South of Olympus, and the attack on Olympus itself. Carried out on October 2062, the operation was split in two with the 1st Infantry Brigade Combat Team and the 1st Operations Fighter Group attacking the Southern Airbase, and the 3rd Stryker BCT, 1st Armoured BCT, and Special Combat Aviation Regiment attacking the Northern airbase. Phase 2 will involved a simultaneous attack on Olympus from three sides to overpower the ACS defenders with overwhelming firepower.

## Background and Development

Orion Expeditionary Corp forces reinforce Forward Operations Base Starkey in preparation for Operation Kilimanjaro that will take place in two phases:

* **Phase 1:** The capture and seizure of two ACS airbases to the North and South of Olympus to cut off all ACS Aerial support
* **Phase 2:** The attack on Olympus and capture of either Eric Saunders and/or Armin Alvitr

## Execution of the operation

### ACS Airbase seizure operation

Attacking the Northern Airbase was left to elements of the 3rd Stryker Brigade Combat Team and 1st Armoured Brigade Combat Team of the 7th Division, with aerial support provided by the Special Combat Aviation Regiment. Attacking the Southern Airbase was left to elements of the 1st Infantry Brigade Combat Team of the 7th Division, with aerial support provided by the 1st Operations Fighter Group and 7th Aviation Regiment.

### Invasion of Olympus

After the complete seizure of the two airbases located outside of Olympus, both strike forces would make their way into Olympus from their respective locations, pushing to the Cordova River near the West side of the city where both strike forces would regroup.

In Volume 2, when Finn and Jake travel to the future, they learn that the robots turned evil when they were caught in the rain one day. After they were driven off, they built an army of evil robots that kept attacking Finn and his friends for fifteen years. Eventually, the present Finn and Jake traveled back to their time and smashed the evil, creepy robots.

Nicholas Seychelles I's Parents

Nicholas Seychelles I's Parents were the biological mother and father of Nicholas Seychelles I. They lived in Darton together and were presumably married, as they lived together and had a child, which was forbidden if not for marriage in the 1500s. It is likely they eloped. It is presumed that they had little to no family either in the area or overall, as after both their deaths, their son went to strangers. Their ages are unknown.

The mother died during childbirth (1513-14), leaving his father to look after him. The man never remarried, but it is possible he was courting at his time of death. Their professions are unknown. Nicholas' father died in 1518 in a fire during a barbarian attack. After their deaths, Nicholas was adopted by the Seychelles' and started the Seychelles Dynasty.
