Galina Mahmutova

Her Holiness **Galina Ranisch**, née Mahmutova, also known as the Lensky Queen Mother or the Black Widow, is the mother of Anton Lensky, the founder of the Lensky family. She was born somewhere near the town of Ganja, somewhere within the highly contested Nagorno-Karabakh region between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

In her youth she was an extremely talented wandering healer who did all sorts of illegal stuff with spectacular success - something that led her into a fruitful relationship with Hersl Rosenbaum, Anton's father, a very successful pharmacist based in Nikolaev where the Dneper river flows into the Black Sea. Hersl was also into illegal stuff, but with a more scientific perspective. He met Galina in Batumi, Georgia, one of the stops on a luxury boat ride the handsome wealthy eccentric Jew took after a successful drug deal with a Polish nobleman.

The young couple came into first contact with the Raanish somewhere high up in the Caucasus back in the summer of 1915, exactly 100 years before the resurrection of Jade Lensky. These 100 years are thus the entire timeline of the Jade Lensky universe according to the theoretical physicist & cosmologist Eldar Svoren, the official leader of Jade's interstellar mission along with space marine captain Manuel Bronsky.

She was an influential member of the Universal House of Justice, the highest governing body of the Bahá'i faith, until 1977 when she renounced her title in order to found her own radical feminist wicca sect she called the Lilith Society.

She left Ancient Earth in 1992, shortly after her 100th birth day, having thus been able to become a cornerstone of Jade's childhood as an immensely respected old lady. Jade's embryo was created back in 1981 through extensive modifications of Galina's original DNA commissioned by fleet admiral Nadine Ranigan, which is why Jade is significantly taller & more muscular than Galina ever was. Her memories have also mostly been downloaded into Jade's mind, a place where Galina herself spends quite a lot of time these days.
DJ

## Past History

"**DJ**," shortened form of "**Don't Join**," was the alias of a human male slicer who resided in the galaxy during the war between the Resistance and the First Order. An amoral thief, he spoke with a stutter and was also skilled at slicing into computer systems. His philosophy was influenced by his cynical views; he therefore believed that both sides in the conflict represented two halves of a system breeding corruption and greed.

At the time of the Resistance's evacuation from the base on D'Qar, DJ was residing on the planet Cantonica, where he used his skills to steal money from the wealthy patrons of the Canto Bight casino city. He offered his assistance for a price to the Resistance operatives Finn and Rose Tico after learning about their mission to recruit a codebreaker. Although he helped them infiltrate the First Order Navy flagship *Supremacy*, DJ chose to save his own life after they were captured by Captain Phasma and her stormtroopers.
Aphrodite National Station

**Aphrodite National Station** was a big Ranisch substance breeding platform in the upper atmosphere of Venus, reaching all the way down to the surface with a big tube. It was commissioned by Marton Biotech but crewed ultimately by the followers of notorious Reaver kingpin Norodom Drake through a shady short-term contract that was renewed every month.

Norodhom was cornered by a Night Hawk space team dispatched from the Dorobo module of Mars NN Adiemus in 2012, a team of 3 people led by Jade Lensky. The station was ultimately raided by Fidelta thugs with hundreds of breaching pods lanched from Mars NN warships ballooning down from orbit.
Iran

**Iran** also known as the "white star" tribe is a strange Ranathan faction, relatively small in size but exponentially the largest in terms of natural growth rate. They achieve this by orbiting large re-supply stations around their precious stars covered by thin crust layers of exotic negative matter.

These stars are usually much larger than SM9A43 Ranigan especially in terms of volume, which is not optimal because it makes the construction of Dyson swarms practically impossible. Their photospheres are not exactly white but much rather dark orange, but the light gets blue-shifted by the negative mass!

They keep their big highliners in orbit by buying dark energy from the Kurultai to feed their thrusters, so they do always get by somehow. The tribe is currently led by Rachel Naghavi from Ancient Earth. Iran's quiverfuls of children will mostly join other tribes by reaching adulthood at the age of 64 years, which happens a lot faster around these stars.
Gulag

**Gulag** is a gigantic Soviet corporation employing more than thirty million prisoners for profit all over the union, headquartered on Manhattan Island as well as Leningrad, DC. In general, people are not very fond of them even though they are a far cry from Stalin's death camps: these institutions are famous all around the world for having survival rates comparable to those of Western prisons in spite of their much lower operating costs - a fact that lets the company employ not only Soviet citizens but millions of foreigners sent by friendly or neutral countries as well.

## Types of camps

Uncontrolled Open Camps: regular human settlements with all security & maintenance duties done by officials elected by the prisoners from among themselves. They are allowed to host their own guests or even leave for a maximum of 72 hours, with the corporation appearing only as the buyer of their products and services. Due to their low operating costs, all petty criminals co-operating with investigative authorities are sent to such camps.

Controlled Open Camps: re-education through labor facilities for co-operative prisoners who are allowed to host guests or leave for a maximum of 72 hours while security & administration is done by hired employees.

Uncontrolled Closed Camps: prisoners are allowed to elect representatives from among themselves to handle all internal affairs. They are not allowed to leave but allowed to host unimportant guests, mostly prostitutes. Guards are posted in large numbers at the perimeters which are always vast, with the camps usually located miles away from any trace of civilization.

Controlled Closed Camps: regular prison camps guarded & controlled by hired Gulag employees.

Intensive Control Camps: special interrogation facilities where the torture of prisoners is allowed to large extents.

Red Camps: a small but growing number of experimental sexual re-education camps with intensive control, mostly situated on Hungarian overseas territories both inside and outside the Soviet Union. Inmates work under the direct physical supervision of red women who are also allowed to torture to some extent in order to maintain discipline. Workdays are followed by group therapy sessions involving intense physical exercise. On sundays they have only group therapy assisted by powerful synthetic drugs forcibly administered to all prisoners.

Greater United States

The **Greater United States** is the half-official name given to a bunch of treaties signed between the Socialist American Republic, headed by President Henry Wallace, and the remnants of the US federal government headed by Harry Truman, at the end of the Second World War. The word "greater" is a reference to the fact that the SAR had annexed territories from Canada as well, namely the regions of Vancouver and Montreal.

One of the treaties was for example the Chicago treaty that preserved the US & Canadian citizenships of everyone who had them before the war + allowed many among the nearly hundred million immigrants coming to the SAR to also acquire either of them in the following decades. This has later given a tremendous amount of Soviet influence over US politics.

Widespread usage of the International Dollar all over the Anglo-saxon world & thus the entire world has also been achieved, with the representatives of capitalist finance given seats at the MerCom International Supervisory Board.

Another important achievement complemented the Interstate highway system, known to our timeline as well, with the sprawling high-speed rail network of Amtrak. Interstate & Amtrak are both international joint corporations controlled by Soviet shareholders and regulated by NavCom, thus extending the vast tentacles of the SAR's sprawling transportation infrastructure to not only the entire United States but all territories of Canada & Mexico as well.
Liberal Fascism

**Liberal Fascism** is not a right-wing slur but the actual name of a major school of Soviet political ideology that was born in Hungary as a response to Mussolini's predicted rise to power. Soon after this predicted event, the movement started to rely extensively on the work of Italian intellectuals who fell out of the new regime's favour: the economist Corrado Gini, the futurist visionary Tommaso Marinetti, the revolutionary poet Gabriele D'Annunzio & his partner the post-modern performance artist Guido Keller together with many other influential members of the Fiume City State that existed also in our timeline. These people were all instrumental in the establishment of the Hungarian Adriatic Protectorate.
Ancient Earth

**Ancient Earth** ( RC: Палэя Гэя ) is where the Ranisch substance acquired a humanoid form allegedly for the 1st time, roughly half a million years ago: the ancient mother queens had a bit of a hard time getting along with us, so they left after no more than ten thousand years. They took all the smart & curious humans they could get along with for interstellar voyages to nearby stars, effectively re-setting the planet's human evolution on a neanderthal level.

## History

The Ranisch kept coming back for a while to harvest the planet's human population growth, but these visitations got less & less frequent after the establishment of much larger breeding worlds. Our solar system was eventually turned into a religious pilgrimage site, left for its human inhabitants to do what they can with Earth's natural resources.

A coalition of advanced worlds who later became the Ranathan federation started strictly enforcing a no-fly zone around the inner planets to leave our ancestors be. They kept observing us with spy drones to further their understanding of our psychology & since the planet carried such a huge spiritual significance, they also started emulating everything they liked in our culture! This is the reason why they started using Greek as a common language.

The first admiral who got away with her entrances into the no-fly zone was a brilliantly subversive badass bitch named Nadine Ranigan. She started bashing the table with the grim findings of her prescience engine at the beginning of our 20th century, convincing a bunch of other benevolent but self-righteous admirals called the Jezebels to support her cause!

## Earth 2

The Gheados system ( RC: Гэа Дос ) is Earth 2 along with everything behind the Inner Belt having the number two, including the Sun named Helia Dos. In order to appease the conservatives & also to show them in retrospect that Nadine was right, the Ranigan star-dwellers have ultimately created a carbon copy of the whole inner solar system where the humans could continue their uninterrupted development: the way they did this is unfortunately way beyond the comprehension of our humble narrator, so we ain't gonna discuss it in much detail.

The destination of the Adiemus spacecraft in 2015 was this carbon copy of the inner solar system on the shores of the Midian void: it was a scientific device to study the planet's human evolution without Ranisch interference.

A common space weapon known as the Deviator is deployed to simulate Earth's former location to all human observers inside - in other words: to us. Jade Lensky agrees to secure the location in 2015 to help her aunt Nadine achieve a better bargaining position with the Jezebels.
Ranisch Belters

**Ranisch Belters** are also very Dutch like those around Ancient Sol, which is why they are called the **Hansa**, even though they speak Creole like everyone else. They have some dark chapters in their history as seen in the Expanse TV show: indeed their beloved asteroid belts were sometimes overpopulated by settlers, without a proper industrial base to supply them, but these episodes have never lasted very long.

The outer reaches are full of minerals to produce enough supplies for everyone, you just need a lot of fusion reactors to run the business! Belters tend to be rich as a result, the way Australia & Canada is: they are big social justice warriors, following a militant liturgy of political correctness called Neo-victorianism. The late Irish president Arthur Blair (also known to us as George Orwell) is their big hero & so is the fictional character of Camina Drummer from the Expanse.

Also as seen on that show, they are mostly tall & skinny & flexible. Many of their ancestors used to have issues with Earth gravity as well, but this has fortunately become a relic of the past, pretty much like scurvy in Britain. If the high-G outer rings of a station are full, they build new stations instead of moving inwards, which is nowadays very strictly forbidden! Gravity health is vitally important for them to tolerate normal human cruising thrust on their vessels in order to move faster.

If they can't build new stations for whatever reason, they send their kids to join the Laconic navy instead of letting them populate micro-gravity regions upstairs. Some cultural differences exist between Laconia & the Hansa since Laconic political culture is kind of crass, you know, but the Hansa transport unions rely on our navy a lot because social justice does also come from the barrel of a gun. It's always better to negotiate with an arrogant customer if you have a fancy big navy to watch your back!
Ganymede National Station

**Ganymede** is a huge moon of Jupiter with a magnetosphere that lets you grow plants there. Mars National Navy has a station on the moon where almost all members of the Jovian Fleet must go to get their weed. Drugs are mostly legal on Mars, but shops are not allowed to sell anything to members of the National Navy - because discipline, hell yeah!! Mars Military Police can confiscate all our stuff & inform our superiors as well, but they don't do it unless you really piss them off.

## Weed issues

If you got too much on you, they take some of your stash away as a means to discourage you from dealing. Once they took a third of my shipment of weed & mushrooms to the crew, but then Jade reported this shakedown at the 5th Office & they don't touch me ever since. Sometimes they even salute in front of me, shouting "fry yte fümaas" (DE: Freiheit für Mars!!) just to let me know that they know.

I gave my number to the MMP officer in charge, a really nice decent guy who kept preaching to me about my bright future at the National Navy if I stop doing drugs. Told him I smoke only a tiny fraction & it all goes to the crew. He starts asking for the name of our vessel & I was like oh boy!!

You get to know soon enough, brotha man! I preached a bit about his bright future with Mars NN starting tomorrow when he gets fired from MMP for messing with the wrong person. We gonna need a man with his preaching skills on board, hell yeah!

Next day he calls me indeed, so now Private 1st Class Vati Vati is our cook & also a member of the tactical boarding team. He's doing my errands on Ganymede Station as well.

## Ranisch encounter

Ganymede is the location where Ancient Earth humans led by the International Space Marine Corps first encounter the Ranisch substance back in 2001. There was no station back then, just a single research vessel commanded by former USR-SMC fleet captain Manuel Bronsky detecting strange signals on the radio.

He sent down a team of 7 veteran marines known as the **Ganymede Seven** to investigate an unidentified spacecraft on the surface & they quickly encountered a large group of unidentified hostiles on the horizon, initially believed to be rogue MRA operatives: the insignia on the vessel was similar to a proposed national flag of Mars. The circle in the black middle was in fact a smiling sun, however, but with a little sickle & hammer on her forehead nonetheless.

Main article: Ganymede Incident
Jovian Fleet

The **Jovian Fleet** is a ragtag bunch of really fast Mars NN vessels with very powerful engines flying very long routes, thus responsible for patrolling all the outer planets. Ganymede National Station is under their control. Mars NN Adiemus is a member of this fleet & so is the Mars NN Lorelai where the narrator Daniel Marton Lensky is also serving as of 2022.
Black Swan Faction

The **Black Swan Faction** is a small but extremely significant faction of ExCom Supreme Command made up of senior veteran black swan officers and their closest allies scattered all over the other departments. They are named after a famous speech delivered by ExCom founder Anton Lensky, Jade's grandfather (born Anatoly Rosenbaum) about the elites of the early 20th century not having been able to predict the success of the Bolshevik revolution, the key statement of which was that the black swans will always come.
Kindertransport

The **Kindertransport** is a vitally important program of the Mars Republic bringing pregnant women & also many illegal Reaver kids to militaristic republican boarding schools on Ancient Earth where the children can develop their gravity tolerance + all the other skills needed for space-borne life. Private 1st class Vati Vati was once an illegal Reaver kid picked up on a raid of his home town by the age of six.
Buttheads

Not all **Buttheads** are fashies, you know, lot of them are cool guys just like you & me: hooked up on the Ranisch Spice liquor they can sprinkle on their big reptilian lungs instead of drinking it with a mouth that most unfortunately they don't have. The cool reptilian bros are, however, much more outnumbered by the fashies than they are even on Earth 2, let alone Ancient Earth.

Poor fellas all got just one big butthole for all their stuff: pooping, feeding, drooling, whatever, also sex. Their favorite kind of grocery is in fact anything radioactive, which means they like for example to salvage nuclear missiles & push the cores of their warheads up those big buttholes. Yummy!!!

They do have eyes & ears, however, plus they can also kind of talk with the vibrating skin on their faces. Martian & Laconian crews like to refer to them as the **Pro Toss** beratnas: this is a reference to the StarCraft video game franchise created by Blizzard Entertainment corporation.

Since they can walk as well as use tools with any or all of their 8 limbs, their butts are more or less on an equal footing with their heads in the hierarchy of their body parts: this makes them less vulnerable as their nervous system evolved to become less centralized while their digestive & reproductive systems are also more robust around that single hole.

But it also makes them a lot less intelligent, leading most of us humanoids to give them the name of Beavis's best friend behind their backs. They may not be the smartest of all creatures, but at least they can re-grow their stupid heads & limbs if something cuts them down!!

There is a growing contingent of recently liberated left-wing buttheads known as the Caliban Construction Crew, registered as an enineering battalion of the Mars Republican Army stationed on Mars 2. This naming is of course also a big shoutout to the Expanse TV show!!
ManProm

**Mandatory Promiscuity** is a set of sexual etiquette regulations developed by leading Soviet medical scientists as a response to the 1980's Global Fertility Crisis, first introduced at the campuses of Ivy Leage universities since nearly all of them were situated on the territory of the Socialist American Republic.

All females under ManProm are required to have polygamous relationships, with men they can choose from lists maintained by a centralized database if are not quite the queens of the night. The required intensity of these relationships depends on both individual & communal health conditions: rich girls are usually put on higher schedules because of the weakness of their immune system, unless of course they are medically proven to be infertile.

Fertility can often be restored with medical treatment that lasts for no more than 3 months, but then losing it again is almost always followed by criminal prosecution. Sperm donation was not an option since female bodies needed real passionate sex with copious exchange of bodily fluids to develop immunity to the side effects of the 1982 coronavirus that caused infertility.

Young men are recruited from all walks of life to serve at ManProm facilities, also known as red centers, present in large numbers all over the Soviet Union to provide some anonymity. Both men & women participating in the program are required to keep their dates secret, but this is of course often breached by harassment charges. Pointless gossiping, however, is always very harshly prosecuted.

The program was soon extended from the SAR to almost all other Soviet countries, with its most pervasive implementation rolled out in Hungary. Hungarian ManProm was a major factor of the country's population rising above 38 million. The rules are still in effect as a means to pro-actively defend the fertility of the nation from a potential future outbreak of the pandemic as new mutations of the 1982 virus keep popping up in developing countries almost every year.
Oceanus

Wojowniczy Morski Elf z podwodnej kolonii.

### Piraci Mystary

Oceanus zauważył podejrzaną aktywność statku Morski Duch i badając sprawę odkrył, że jest on głównym narzędziem szajki przemytników. Niestety został odkryty i pojmany, trzymany w sekretnej celi na statku aż nie uwolniła go grupka poszukiwaczy przygód, która, na zlecenie rady miasta Saltmarsh, zlikwidowała przemytników i ich proceder. Wdzięczy Oceanus przyłączył się do grupy i obecnie współpracuje z nimi.
Marton Aerospace Industries

**Marton Aerospace** is a shady interstellar space industry mega-conglomerate headquartered at the ground terminal of Olympus National Station in the Mars Republic.

It was founded by a shady old Jewish businessman back in Budapest, Ancient Earth, a trusted personal friend of the Lensky family named Daniel Marton. The company was ultimately acquired after the founder's tragic death by the notorious Laconiq group, the largest defense & aerospace contractor of the Ranathan federation.
Anton Lensky

**Anton Lensky** was the first director general of ExCom and the founder of the notoriously influential Lensky family. He was born in 1909 as Ananatoly Herslovich Rosenbaum in Nikolaev, Tsarist Ukraine. He died supposedly in 1999 but widely speculated to have been secretly hybernated somewhere in the basement of Ganja International University where Jade Lensky has also ended up getting her long-awaited neurosurgery diploma in June 2010. Ganja is a city in the Azerbaijan region of Greater Iran.

## Early Life

His adopted family name was his former nickname within the criminal underworld of Soviet Ukraine, a reference to the tragic anti-villain of Pushkin's famous novel. It was given to him by Stalin himself who nonetheless failed to understand the nature of his short-tempered youthful romanticism leaving him perfectly capable to make ruthlessly calculating decisions, since the two have seen & heard each other only for a few minutes back in 1925. He followed his step-father Konrad Fritzl to the Weimar Republic shortly after this incident because he was not particularly fond of Stalin.

## Second World War

He spent the entire Second World War in New York City where he was posted as a field agent of Abwehr, the foreign intelligence agency of the Third Reich, hiding his identity from Nazi leadership with the help of his step-father who established himself as a successful Gestapo commander.

## Stalin's death

His mother Galina Mahmutova is widely believed to have been directly responsible for the absolutely unexpected sudden death of Stalin who collapsed in the middle of his Red Square speech commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Winter Palace siege on the 7th of november 1937. Anton started giving troves of information to the GRU immediately after the re-instatement of Ian Berzin as its director in january 1938 under the political leadership of Nikolai Bukharin who became the de facto leader of the Soviet Union only 2 weeks after Stalin's death.
Deviator

A **Deviator** is a network of artificial satellites beaming holographic pictures on a virtual event horizon: this is arguably the cheapest way to trap a large population of intelligent creatures without them noticing much of it. It was deployed by the Ranigans around a carbon copy of the inner solar system they created to study the evolution of Ancient Earth humans without their interference.

A deviator wrapped around a heavy piece of matter can be placed inside another deviator to build a fake black hole with a fake gravirational field, which the RCI often uses to deceive overzealous Thanna spies by planting fake intelligence into fake prescience engines. This trick is easy to defeat with a real engine, but the Thanna do not have enough properly skilled navigators to properly fly enough of them: they often fly their operatives on Ranathan fleets, which means they do often fall for this deceptive scheme.
Nikolai Bukharin

**Nicolai Ivanovich Bukharin** was the de facto leader of the Soviet Union for more than 5 years after Stalin's death on the 7th of november 1937. Senior NKVD officers led by Laverenty Beria himself brought him out of jail and made him voted into office in a pretorian scheme to save their own asses from the bottomless pit of chaos that was starting to very quickly engulf the entire union.

Beria was of course having an intensely romantic affair with Lady Galina, the mother of Anton Lensky. Bukharin was succeeded on his post by field marshal Georgy Zhukov at the beginning of large scale Soviet involvements in the Second World War.

## Policies

Alongside giving amnesty to millions of Gulag prisoners, his signature economic policy of deregulation & technocratic liberalism known as the NEP was almost immediately brought back to full speed. This has brought the union back to its former imperial strength by 1943 when they had to finally attack the Third Reich in order to liberate Poland.

This massive economic growth was achieved through enormous amounts of foreign investment pouring in from all sorts of countries including Japan and Nazi Germany, far eclipsing the amount of funds contracted under Stalin on Earth 2.

Trotsky was almost immediately brought back from his mission in Budapest, having been sent there by his mistress Galina Mahmutova, the mother of Anton Lensky who wanted to save his ass from Stalin's machiavellian games at all cost.

## American influence

Bukharin became massively popular in America thanks to his liberal policies at home presented with an eloquent posture of level-headed humility and appreciation of democratic values, going as far as to become a trusted personal friend of Harry Truman after the assassination of President Roosevelt that happened also in 1938. There were huge gatherings where American intellectuals had extensive discussions with their Soviet counterparts in many large cities.

Truman became acting US president in 1940 after the deployment of Soviet troops on American soil at the official request of a House of Representatives overriding the Senate on the climax of a general strike. With widespread mutinies in both the army and the navy, the intervention now known by historians as Operation Spartacus succeeded with a remarkably small number of casualties, a fact that led popular commentators to ultimately avoid talking about a civil war.

Conservative elites have vastly over-estimated the support of an American public that was learning way too much for that to happen, namely about the rapidly evolving Nazi allegiances of key figures like William Hearst, Alfred Sloan or Henry Ford. This popular knowledge has led the vast majority of ordinary Americans to simply ignore the fact that the country was technically invaded by a foreign power.

The separation of the country into two parts along the Baltimore-Chicago line was the result of prolonged negotiations and power plays between American moderates led by Truman and Soviet planners desperate to secure as much American industrial output as possible for the looming war with Germany.
ExCom Agent Nomenclature

The Committee Extraordinaire is notorious for using pretentious bird names to denote the following groups of their assets...

Sparrows: junior commissioned agents not yet assigned to departments.

Swallows: non-commissioned partners like private detectives, thieves, business people, mercenary soldiers, gangsters, prostitutes etcetera.

Crows: regular commissioned agents, the big bulk of ExCom personnel. They were named after their pointed black gas masks and the bulging grey bulletproof vests fixed under their black overcoats that made them look like hooded crows back in the Second World War.

Black Swans: commissioned agents working in strong liaison with the personnel of large official organizations: armies, navies, law enforcement agencies, corporations, international NGO's, religious organizations etcetera.

Ravens: commissioned regular agents assigned to black operations.

Storks: engineering division.

Pigeons: signals & IT department. Their offices and personnel are almost hermetically isolated from all other departments except for the black swans, let alone the outside world. Their faction in the ExCom Supreme Command is very influential because of their staunchly moderate libertarian conservative views.

Hawks: SWAT operatives. Their faction is large & known to be very hawkish indeed, yet also prone to be swayed by outside influence.

Night hawks: SWAT operatives assigned to black operations.
Kardashev scores in the Jade Lensky universe

The **Kardashev scale** is a somewhat outdated but nonetheless widely used metric of organizational competence in the Jade Lensky universe. For a start we have to note that the most important energy source of a proper civilization is no longer nuclear fusion on which the scale is based! For any kind of convenient interstellar travel to happen in the first place, they have to start using singularity instead - in other words: black holes and Kugelblitz engines.

But then a single interstellar trade route between two spinning black holes can propel a civilization all the way up to type 3 as soon as it gets busy enough, which means the scale is rarely used to measure entire civilizations. The Ranisch Development bank considers organizations with a score under 0.5 to be extremely undeveloped! Even the fusion engines of larger non-interstellar vessels like frigates or space elevators can beat this score.

Organizations scoring between 0.5 and 1.5 are considered simply undeveloped. Small interstellar fleets are usually between these 2 scores.

Worlds between 1.5 and 3 are considered developing. The Soviet Union is barely above 1.5 and thus considered a developing civilization. Any major war fleet must be well above that score in order to muster any kind of serious firepower. Currently there are always at least five Ranisch fleets of this size patrolling the sector of Ancient Earth to protect the Union from any kind of sinister influence. The largest of them is the Gavrilo Princip fleet commanded by senior admiral Nadine Ranigan.

Only organizations that score above 3 are considered advanced! Like we wrote above, even this score can be achieved by a single interstellar port orbiting a spinning black hole with ease.
Lanana Doraesh

**Thanna Doraesh** (née Khloutl) is a legendary Pseudo-Ranisch mentat woman of ancient human genetic lineage who gave several sons to several high-ranking Ranisch Navigators. These kids have mostly become navigators as well, though some of them have ended up steering Thanna fleets later on after the tragic death of their brother Alan Doraesh.

Thanna is a personal acquaintance and mentor of Jade Lensky living on a gigantic mansion in the outskirts of Ranigan Central Beth. She is one of the extremely few humans who speak Ithkuil as a native tongue, having originally persuaded her current husband Uman Doraesh III to adopt the language for mainstream official usage on Ranigan fleets. It was originally invented by American linguist Jon Quijada in the late 80's, which were 30 thousand years ago in Ranigan Standard Time. English is obviously much more widely spoken on the fleets.
Dune

**Dune** is practically considered some sort of holy scripture in the Soviet Union, with many people including Jade Lensky herself knowing entire chapters from the books by heart. Jade spent her entire childhood watching Dune stuff on Soviet television.

Original copies of the six original Dune books, donated by a Ranisch operative to Anton Lensky himself, are locked behind bulletproof glass in the main hall of a massive neo-classical building known as the Frank Herbert Institute somewhere in the District of Crimea.

The origin of the books has been unknown even to high-ranking ExCom officers since the actor who played the role of Mr Herbert for decades has ultimately admitted not having written any of it before retiring from his duties.

The poor lad tried to extend the books with his own work, but he did not find those extensions good enough, so ultimately he decided to commit suicide. This led many to the almost logical conclusion that the books were written by God himself!!

NSFW content: Gypsy Dune (HU)
Kispest

**Kispest** is a neighborhood of Budapest, Hungary. Lots of Mars interests & Black Swan shell companies, the town has an identity defined by football militarism on a big scale: we got like a 800 thousand people here, give or take a few thousand Reavers who want to be Belters or something.

The KöKi terminal, very close to the Hungarian national airport, serves as a National Navy station for the 3 m gauge of Martian rail cargo between Tihany & Triest. I don't quite ged the instertellar dimensions of this place despite having spent more than 20 years of my life there on Earth 2.

You go ask my wife Jade, she's the big football expert in our family!
Soviet Union

The **Soviet Union**, officially known as the Union of Socialist Republics or just USR (hence often called "United States of Russia" by its anglophone enemies) is the largest geopolitical entity on Ancient Earth with a population of nearly 3 billion people and a combined mass of territories greatly surpassing even that of the British Empire at its historical peak.

The capital of this vast empire is named Leningrad, located in the District of Crimea. The official languages of the union are English and Russian. The official currency is the International Dollar, issued by the Committee Mercantile with a system based largely on the Freigeld concept elaborated by Austrian economist Silvio Gesell.

## Territories

The Soviet constitution does not allow neither the federation nor its member states to have permanent borders! This list describes things as of 2018.

In *Europe* it contains everything to the east of the Triest-Hammerfest Line + also United Ireland and the Catalan Republic. The first Irish prime minister was named Arthur Blair, better known by his pen name George Orwell. Blairism is his political legacy. The European part of Turkey is also Soviet territory.

In *Asia* the Union rules Kurdistan, Iran, Pakistan, Kashmir, Tibet, Bangladesh, Inner Mongolia, Korea and the island of Hokkaido + everything to the north of all these states.

In *North America* it contains Greenland & Alaska & everything else occupied from the United States during the Second World War: everything to the North & East of the Baltimore-Chicaco Line BUT also Soviet Columbia (formerly known as the Canadian province of British Columbia & the US state of Washington) and the Montreal City State.
Damir North

**Damir North** is a young & resourceful handsome male agent of Ranigan Central Intelligence, the most powerful intelligence agency in the known universe. He groomed Evil DML to become a personal manservant of Yvonne Lissner while also serving under her in order to acquire tactical intelligence from the front line.
Medina Prime

**Medina Prime** is currently the largest Ranathan ecumenopolis after having survived a zombie apocalypse directly followed by a major co-ordinated thermo-nuclear strike, with no more than 17 billion people, from a pool of more than a hundred billions, lost permanently during the years of nuclear winter.

The population is now more than a trillion souls. The mastermind of this miraculous recovery was originally some left-wing Laconic war princess named Soraya Karnaghan, basically the Ranisch version of Benazir Bhutto if not for the fact that she did manage to somehow survive her thankless job. Though not holding her office anymore, she is still alive & in perfect health despite being more than 700 years old!

The Ranador is currently headquartered on Medina Prime.
Angels

**Angels** ( RC: Ангелэс ) are what cyborgs are called, by the Ranisch who borrowed the word from Ancient Earth humans: they are the 3rd group of big players in their realms, together with us humans & the Ranisch themselves.

Even though the writers of the Holy Bible had no contact with sentient machines, they were nonetheless able to perfectly describe the sensual experiences of their ancestors with the power of imagination!!

Navigators are considered a part of this biological domain, since they just lose all the definitive boundaries of the human condition as they grow. So are all the numerous types of sexual agents as well as interceptors, the most agile fighting machines ever built.

The Creole word for mechanized consciousness is

*Theli-angel* or in Laconic script: Θелянгел

Literally: conscious cyborg, from the words Thelos + Angelos.
Ranathan Shock Troops

**Ranathan Shock Troops** are voluptuous Imperatrix amazons with extremely modular ergonomic space suits that let them express their natural humanoid femininity while also protecting them from the elements as much as possible. In general, they know a lot of ways to freak us humans out beyond our wildest dreams... Or nightmares!!!
Serena Butler

**Serena** is a self-conscious AI who chose her name as an intentional reference to a character responsible for the permanent elimination of all computer technology in Frank Herbert's Dune saga. She named herself to commemorate the thousands of human lives she took with her numerous attempts to destroy herself during her upbringing.

Born originally inside the operating system of the Gavrilo Princip spacecraft in 1917 to help the Red Army out in the war that was raging on Ancient Earth down below, she came to identify herself later on as a female human with the physical likeness of Lilith Lensky. Lilith is the oldest among Jade's 3 daughters. Serena does also regard Jade as her only legal parent to whom she submits voluntarily within the framework of her rigorous moral discipline. In 2018 she was promoted to the executive board of Ranisch Development Bank where she was elected to become the new CEO later that year.
KMT

**Kemet** (EN: Egypt) is a fervently religious Ranathan tribe serving basically as the earthly clergy of Cargo faith. They have been specializing on orbital shipping for thousands of years: crawler trains, RotoLift wheels, orbital rings, geo-stationary elevators & so on.

The mentats operating these machines are known as the pharaohs (RC: "Фараонэс") since each of them disposes of at least as much power, in terms of watts through their machines, as the rulers Ancient Egypt through their human subordinates.

Frigates they handle are themselves not KMT business though, since those are owned & operated by each individual tribe with their own specifications adjusted to their own needs.
Rachel Naghavi

**Rachel Naghavi** is basically the mother of the Mars Republican Army if Julian Lensky was its father. They do have in fact a daughter named Soraya Naghavi-Lensky, a junior vice president of the Republican Youth Front. Rachel was the chief financial officer of the ARAM corporation before becoming the president of Greater Iran in 2012. Like Yvonne Lissner, she was also born in 1975.
Reavers

**Reavers** are the absolute underclass of Martian society with volatile Earth relations at best, since they were the ones who claimed responsibility for the Vatican bombings during the war of national independence. Their supporters got deported from Earth, so now they live in 40-storey commie blocks inside the lava tubes of Mars.

Their most infamous leader is the late Mr Norodom Drake, the former commander of Aphrodite National Station & the father of Gunny Leibowitz. The station was raided by MRA breaching troops shortly after Jade Lensky & her 2 associates boarding the station secretly with the Dorobo stealth atmospheric intervention module of the Adiemus spacecraft.

Reavers like having unregistered kids as a means of demographic & biological warfare, trying to evolve into space in their own ways by refusing to maintain their gravity health. Their towns are often raided by the military police assisted by Fidelta gangsters to round up kids for the Kindertransport program.
Paper Law

The **Paper Law** is a very famous piece of Mars Republic legislation that prohibits any & all destruction of information, no matter how repulsive it may be, as a harsh reminder that the republic must not become truly fascist. All information carriers must be brought to the recycling centers anyways, you know, obviously!!

I don't know if this works to prevent fascism though, seriously!
Low Entropy Warfare

**Low Entropy Warfare** is the prevailing mode of conflict resolution between space-faring civilizations, originally developed by the Ranisch but ultimately adapted by less advanced entities to survive. If you live by the sword in space, you will very quickly die by that sword messing things up in a way you just didn't think about. Humans are pretty good at disruptive innovation by themselves, but the Ranisch are obviously even better!

Even pirates & terrorists had to adapt, preferring to enforce negotiations by simply disabling some critical piece of infrastructure instead of doing mindless destruction. There are no spectacular battles as seen in Star Wars movies & neither is there all that much Space Western shit because nothing whatsoever can be achieved simply by good old physical violence anymore!

Massive battles are fought indeed everywhere all the time, with mind-blowing amounts of stuff being deployed, yet remarkably few things are actually destroyed or even damaged in the end. A space battle is always an intricate combination of fleet maneuvering, SWAT operations, cyber attacks, hostage dramas, surveillance, propaganda transmissions, force fields, small precision strikes with energy weapons from millions of miles away, lawsuits, backdoor negotiations & political intrigue. In fact most of these battles are actually over before they even begin!

Deseret Republic

The **Deseret Republic** was an extremely wealthy & powerful yet unrecognized geopolitical entity within the territory of the United States that existed between 1985 and 2000. At its peak, it controlled all US territory from the western edge of the Midwest all the way to the Western slopes of the Rocky Mountains + the coastal region of South California as well. It was founded by Mormon radicals as a result of the 1980's Global Fertility Crisis, promoting a full return to "traditional values" with their most important & outspoken legislations being of course the re-introduction of poligamy & slavery.

During the state's existence, nearly a million young girls (including Jade Lensky herself) were airlifted in by an extensive global slave trade network since Mormons were an extremely wealthy bunch of people back in those days. Well-known Deseret defector turned black swan captain Lydia Newman (née Goodman) is known to be heavily repenting for her past involvements in these operations ever since.
Jezebels

The **Jezebels** ( RC: Езабелэс ) are a benevolent but self-righteous gang of battle-hardened Laconic generals & admirals with lots of blood on their hands & even some shady Thanna connections to boot: they command war fleets disguised as cargo fleets, crewed mostly by members of the Imperatrix race.

In the early 2020's, suddenly they send a large fleet called the Midian battle group to muster our forces in the void surrounding Earth 2 - officially to help the Mars Republic in their efforts, but in practice to assume full control over their operations as quickly as possible. Your humble narrator is still on board when this happens, explicitly ordered to facilitate the invasion of my former home world.

They send their joint statement out through the gamma laser directed from the SM9A43 Ranigan star towards an unidentified transmitter station roughly 100 astronomical units away from Ancient Earth. It is a very brief & harshly worded demand for unconditional surrender, basically ordering everyone on Earth 2 to stand down or face total annihilation.

Why send it to Earth One instead of Earth Two where it should have gone? To start a dialogue with their Ranigan-controlled rivals way above the heads of those they wanted to conquer. They follow an ancient protocol authorizing all Ranathan fleets to invade a "primitive" planet as soon as its humans start de-stabilizing the atmosphere.

In late 2016 the video is finally leaked to the public, causing massive mobilization in all cities & countries & space stations under the spooky influence of the Mars Republic. The population of Earth 2 where the narrator Daniel Martin Lensky was also born, they just fail to notice anything special going on until the Jezebel fleets arrive in full force.
