Fall of Macau

Laying in the Eastern Reach, the city of Macau was an important trading depot serving both corporations and the Alpha Clan. As a result a large population of Alpha Clan citizens had settled in it.

When news reached Macau that the Zealots might attack the corporations quickly pulled out their ships and left the citizenry with little way to escape.

Tasked with protecting a corporate pipeline the 12th Battalion of the Alpha Clan defied orders and instead came to the city’s aid, many relatives of the Dragoons residing there. Working with Macau’s militia they managed to evacuate almost the entire population before the Zealots struck.

Though the city fell, the 12th Battalion shepherded the refugees southward, the Zealots hounding them. Exhausted and with the enemy closing in on the column the Dragoons made contact with White Horse and convinced them to ferry the civilians away.

Honorably, White Horse offered to evacuate the survivors of the 12th Battalion as well but the Dragoons refused and subsequently perished stalling the Zealots.

The Fall of Macau is heralded as the first time the Zealots brought two opposing forces together for a common purpose.

Drake

Drake is a Freelancer based out of the Barren-Lands.

## Early Life

Drake was born to his mother and father (names unknown) in the town of Whoop Whoop. His parents took in Mack at a young age, and they were brought up together. Despite constant petty conflicts and personal squabbles, Mack and Drake became surrogate brothers to one another.

Drake became quite competent in combat. By the time he was sixteen, he was a better shot than most of the Marshals. He has also proved himself in hand to hand combat. Despite these skills, Drake always lacked the confidence to become a truly competent leader. Sydney once commented on Drake, "If Drake, with his skills and charm and ability, could only steal half of Mack's confidence... Just half... He would own the Barren-Lands. They would be his. It's a shame Mack is the confident one."

## Battle of Washboard Ridge

Drake and Mack both joined Wayne, the Marshals, and the citizens of the Barren-Lands as they rode on Washboard Ridge. Drake fought valiantly, leading a portion of the citizens to success in the battle and highly contributing to their victory. Elias Bok, one of the Dragoons present, commended Drake and Mack.

## Service as Marshal

After Washboard Ridge, Wayne began a campaign to unite the Barren-Lands. Drake and Mack both eventually fell in line and worked for Wayne as Marshals, also helping him unite the Barren-Lands. Drake eventually took up a leadership role within the Marshals.
Xi Clan

Formed by the Bryant family, the Xi Clan developed their communities near lakes and streams near the east coast. While most clans focused on military and/or religious discipline, the Xi Clan found themselves focusing infrastructure. The clan put most of their resources towards agriculture, irrigation, and shelter.

When compared to other clans, Xi's military could be likened to a militia. The military received the smallest amount of resources in the clan's budget, and their academy's main focus was on improving the quality of live for the clan.

With their competency in agriculture and stockpiling resources, they were often sought after by other clans for trade agreements. Unfortunately, due to their weak military, they were also often bullied into giving up their resources.

When the Alpha Clan became desperate for resources, they exploited Xi's weak military. Threatening them with extermination, the Alpha Clan demanded that Xi share half of their abundance of resources with them. Xi initially refused. To prove a point, the Alphas managed to publicly execute a Xi warlord. Xi leadership immediately agreed to Alpha's terms out of fear.

After several years of Alpha Clan abuse, the Xi Clan began looking for help. Most of the other Dragoon clans either were indifferent or didn't want to cross the Alphas. Zeta Clan was the only clan to show concern. Xi and Zeta leaders met and agreed to help each other: Zeta would provide Xi with protection, while Xi would help improve Zeta's infrastructure and supplement them with resources as needed.

When the Alpha Clan sent a company to Lamar (a major Xi city) to collect their share of Xi's produced resources, they were met by two battalions of Zeta Dragoons. A skirmish ensued, and the overwhelmed Alpha company fled before taking too many losses.

Alpha and Zeta leadership met to discuss the skirmish. The Alphas were furious and threatened the Zetas with war. The Zetas did not back down. With the lack of resources to fight a full scale war, the Alpha Clan reluctantly backed down.

Xi Clan leadership began to realize they will remain vulnerable with their lack of a competent military. With the two clans spectacularly getting along, the Zeta Clan proposed that they absorb Xi Clan, pledging to honor the prestige of their great families. Xi leadership humbly agreed, and the Xi Clan was peacefully dissolved.

The Xi Clan remains significant as it is the first extinct clan that was not forcefully exterminated, laying down an example for future clans to follow.
Rameses Aiden Morita

Rameses Aiden Morita is a Freelancer who primarily operates in the Western and Southern Reaches. Known for his ability as a marksman and his loud-mouthed personality, he typically goes by the nickname: Ram.

## Early Life

There is little information on Ram's childhood, even the identifies of his parents an unknown. Discovered abandoned in a barn as an infant Ram was raised in a local municipal holding. As a child he was rather precocious and made a name for himself as both a chatterbox and a swindler. Often he was involved in fights after cheating other children out of their possessions of pocket money.

Deemed a delinquent, when he turned seventeen he was placed in a corporate militia as a means of "straightening him out". While his superiors made note of Ram's skill as a sharpshooter they could not handle his wild energy or stream of consciousness type blathering. After less than three years in the militia he was abandoned in the desert during a field exercise.

## Freelancing

After managing to bluff his way onto an Orange Catholic transport, Ram traveled to the Southern Reach and quickly set up lying his way into two different mercenary companies. He'd only succeed at serving on a single mission for each before being expelled but their names were enough to open future doors for his freelancing career. Slowly he developed a name as a competent retriever.

Ram's star would see a significant rise when he was hired by Kerensky Industries to stop a aqua-harvester that had gone rogue. As the harvester tore through the area's marina Ram succeeded at shooting out its main processor at a distance of nearly 1,700 meters, disabling the machine. The net ate up the story and interest in Ram's skills and personality grew. Though the demand for him to facilitate long distance assassinations was a lucrative constant Ram never seemed to take up this line of work for what most fans assume was ethical reasons.

## Fearsome Four

Ram's career would reach an all time high when he partnered with Shaw O'Neil, Patsy Kline, and The Templar, to form a crew he cheekily referred to as the Fearsome Four.
Maggie Madsen

Maggie Madsen isn't very good at handling people. Her superiors think it's downright unfair that someone that young and that hot can also be that good. She hasn't yet figured out how to be tactful when she tells people who outrank her that they're completely wrong.

Maggie is a former analyst for the NSA who was fired for twice rewriting her supervisor's conclusions in reports. John Keller is aware of this, not because he knows everything, but because it's hilarious—she was right both times. That kind of brilliance buys her a little slack in his book...but only a little.

Maggie now works for the Rand Corporation with Glen Whitmann. She has a strong Australian accent.

She is quite possibly the only computer nerd in the world that goes to work in a miniskirt and high heels and is able to pull it off.

## Relationships

### Allies

* Glen Whitmann
* Sam Witwicky
* Mikaela Banes
* Bumblebee - Situation Ally
* Seymour Simmons - Situation Ally
Orange Catholic Church

The primary pseudo-Christian faiths remaining in the world, the Orange Catholic Church (OCC) has diocese in nearly every major city and frequently has close ties with many corporations. These relationships were established over a century ago when OCC missionaries would explore the Northern Continent and Roommenor looking to establish churches, as a result they had more mapped out than any other organization. In exchange for the information the corporations frequently will transport OCC personnel for little or no cost.

Though the OCC is very present it is still not the religion of the majority and this has led to confrontation with members of differing faiths. The most famous example being the Shah province in the Northern Reach and their nearly two decade guerilla war against the Alpha Clan occupation.
Matilda

Matilda was a Freelancer based out of the Northern Reach.

## Early Life

Not much is known about her early years. All that is known is that she is a native of the Northern Reach and that her parents were killed when she was very young. Most of her childhood and adolescent years aren't very well documented.

## Freelancer

At the age of 16, Matilda began working as a Freelancer in the areas around Grantham, a small town in the Northern Reach. She was revered as someone who cared about the locals and someone who looked out for those in need. She wouldn't work for much, and what she did earn she would give back to the locals surrounding Grantham.

## Disappearance

After some time, Matilda simply disappeared without a trace.

Rumors spread about what happened to her. Some say she was killed on a job, some say she moved to the Barren-Lands, and some said was detained by the Alpha Clan. However, nothing has been confirmed.

## Media

* Matilda will be portrayed by Breigh Fouhy in the upcoming short film *Ascendance*.
Southern Reach

Large majorly coastal region that lies beneath the Western and Eastern Reaches. Due to its disconnect to the Barren-Lands and access to sheltered harbors it has a long history of settlement and corporate control. It is also home to the Alpha Clan and their capital. As a result the Southern Reach is typically seen as purely Dragoon Territory, any human living there simply permitted to by the hospitality of the Alpha Clan. While not the wealthiest of the reaches the Southern Reach is often viewed as the safest.
Ivory Tower

The Ivory Tower is the name given to the citadel that serves as the home of Malkeris. Lying somewhere in the Western Reach it is an ominous bastion seemingly constructed from bone. It is here he conducts his experiments and monitors the world through a vast array of surveillance devices.  Few dare to go near the tower and the brave or stupid enough who have are never seen again.  Local folklore says the bastion is haunted, the dwelling place of demons.

*“It rose like a gnarled hand out of the parched earth, its walls wrought from some pale stone alien to the likes of man.  The grounds around it were desolate and barren as though nature itself rejected the presence of this strange bastion.  Ominous it was to behold and dark to ponder.”*

Draco

Draco is the name of an aegis type Guardian built during the years before the War of a Century.

Gregarious and humble, Draco quickly endeared himself both to his fellow Guardians and the human population. Mentored by Jaguar he manifested a strong directive to do what is right. While this sometimes made him appear headstrong Draco simply wanted to protect life, taking to heart teachings from Jaguar and Aquila. During the War of a Century he fought on all fronts and was a typical sight on the battlefield. As the conflict progressed he found himself bonding to Pegasus and the young Guardian, Pulsar.

Draco participated in the final assault on Divider's headquarters in February of 873. In an effort to alleviate Queens Guard casualties he engages Divider one on one only to be vanquished by the rogue Guardian and killed. His remains were recovered following the battle and interned in Mount Reverence.

Many believe Zhuyin is partially built from his remains.

## Armament

* Heated Halberd - Hand Carried
* Mine Launcher - Mounted On Shield
* Ion Flamethrower - Mounted On Left Forearm
* 9mm APR - Hip Mounted
KE-19

## Kill Entity #19

Kill Entity #19 or simplified to KE-19 is a cybernetically engineered being created by the University. Like the previous eighteen models before it, KE-19 was solely created to be an assassin, dispatched to eliminate individuals the University felt were enemies of their agenda. However more time and programming was spent on KE-19 due to its primary function being the extermination of the Knights of Octavian. Special care was taken to ensure KE-19 could face the knights on their own terms and best each and everyone, learning from each prior engagement to improve its own dueling capabilities.

KE-19 was ultimately very successful and managed to murder many of the knights as well as their leader: William O'Neil. Damaged during that last engagement, KE-19 was recalled to a University safe house for repairs. Shaw O'Neil would track it to the safe house and attack it, the ensuing duel ultimately seeing both of them killed.
Ningaro Cult

A secretive and elusive religious society, the Ningaro used to be found nearly everywhere.

Trained in ancient arts of stealth, espionage, and assassination they were highly sought after for over a century. However as the corporations and Alpha Clan consolidated power they turned against the Ningaro, shifting public opinion against them as well.

The resulting genocide is believed to have killed them all off, though rumors abound of survivors. Among these rumors is that the Brotherhood of Cain was founded by some theoretical survivors.
Del Anther

The only true mountain range in Roommenor, the Del Anther range is comprised of three peaks; the tallest of them being Del Anther itself. Located in the south east of the continent for decades its snow-capped heights have been home to Com-Stats and during the War of a Century, Del Anther served as a manufacturing hub for Divider’s forces. Following the cessation of hostilities all of the stations reverted to the Queens Guard and later the Alpha Clan, though rumors abound of feral Com-Stats still lurking on the mountainsides.
Vertansion Empire

After humanity’s self-induced apocalypse the planet saw the arrival of a new life form. This alien species appeared to be refugees from some conflict in the cosmos and finding this world weak immediately preyed upon it. Their true name was seemingly too difficult for the human tongue to pronounce so they became known as the Vertansions.

Undisputed masters of the planet for centuries, they enslaved the surviving populace and set about destroying any trace of human history so their captives would have no concept of a world without their masters.

They renamed the continent of Australia to Roommenor, erecting temples to themselves and their strange deities. As their empire grew they called for more of their kind and further Vertansions arrived, bringing with them other strange enslaved species. Slowly they began to terra-form the planet, toying with our world as a child might with insects.

Their dominance might have lasted for a millennia if it wasn’t for the works of Evangelion and Malkeris, who enabled those enslaved to overthrow their masters.
Auto Rifle

With Dragoons dominating most of the known world it was practical that a corporation develop a weapon designed specifically to kill them.  This task fell to the Kingler Company and they took the task seriously, creating an assault rifle that fired an 8.75x52mm round and was typically loaded with depleted-uranium-sabot ammunition.  This combination made the Auto-Rifle a deadly weapon to both Dragoons and non-Dragoons.

However due to the size of the round and recoil the Auto-Rifle was not fully serviceable to human soldiers and Kingler found its product wasn’t the solution it had initially believed.  Wishing to recoup some revenue they pitched the weapon to the Alpha Clan and were shocked by the overwhelmingly positive response.  Since then the primary purchaser of the Auto-Rifle series has been the Alpha Clan, the rifle becoming staple of their military.

Striving to expand their market Kingler would later retool the weapon into the Auto-Rifle Mk2.
White Horse

Following the fall of the Zeta Clan there were many surviving warriors who wished to keep resisting the control of the Alpha Clan. These partisans waged a guerilla war against the Alpha Clan for many years, using the white Pegasus of the Zeta Clan as their rallying symbol. As word spread of their resistance so did their cause. Slowly other armed insurgencies arose within Dragoon controlled territory, each attempting to use the white Pegasus as their emblem. The problem was that the winged horse took too long to duplicate so the symbol slowly became simplified to merely a white horse head.

Eventually White Horse became a full-fledged anti-Dragoon resistance network, each member using the white horse head as their calling card, though few ever knew its true origins. For years they’d do whatever it’d take to disrupt Alpha Clan control to the point that prior to the launching the Invasion the Dragoons allocated vast amounts of material and manpower to stamping them out.

When the Dragoons finally commence with their invasion is leaves embittered corporations the freedom to openly finance this anti-Dragoon group and White Horse explodes from a resistance group to a military organization. Recruits flood in and White Horse launches a propaganda campaign to show the world that they are the “noble” side, fighting for human interests. As a result they are soon embroiled in far too many conflicts and stretched thin. It doesn’t take long for White Horse to begin looking out less for the plight of the oppressed and rather at their own coffers.

As time wears on White Horse starts investing in nearly anything that might help them in their fight against the Dragoons. Everything from exoskeleton armor, genetic enhancement, and combat drugs are financed, though many of the more extreme and questionable methods are kept from the public eye.
Kaluga

Situated in a remote
area of the Western Reach, the small Alpha Clan controlled outpost of Kaluga primarily served as a
way station and watering hole for caravans and pilgrims.

## University attack

Kaluga's garrison was unprepared when the University moved against
the base.

Severing communications to effectively isolate them, the technophile
cult quickly laid siege to the outpost. Despite desperately fighting for the lives, the base was eventually overrun.

After harvesting all present organic material the University quietly slipped away, leaving the facility a ghost town. Due to this, no
true witnesses exist who can verify what occurred there. Instead, the event has been blamed on Zealots.
Piece-A-Pie

*Piece-A-Pie* is a 2018 microfilm set in the Dragoon Universe. It was written and directed by Mike Ortiz.

## Plot

Locked in a jail cell, freelancer MIrai sparks a conversation with a marshal who just rotated in. She tells him about the job she was on: Apprehending a corporate accountant trying to skip town.

She recalls catching up to the accountant and his bodyguards at a depot. A firefight ensued, and MIrai claims she was going to blow the depot to cover their tracks. However, the plan apparently goes south when she is distracted: A fresh piece of pie nearby.

In her jail cell, Mirai concludes that the pie was more than worth it.

## Cast

* Pip Collins - Mirai
* Matt Johnstone - Marshal

## Production

Production began on *Piece-of-Pie* in the autumn of 2017 as part of a number of microfilms to be developed for the Dragoon Universe.
Tycho

Tycho is the name of the oldest living Guardian.

Built during the 500s, he is now so aged that his frame no longer permits him to participate in sustained combat. Due to this and his abundant life experience he volunteered to serve as the historian and librarian around the time of the War of a Century.

As time progresses his views and input become less valued by younger Guardians, especially Pulsar following the Invasion of Roommenor.

## Armament

* 25mm Rotary Machine Gun - Hand Carried
* 9mm APR - Hip Mounted
* 66mm Rocket Pod x2 - Mounted In Shoulders
* Energy Sword - Stored In Hip Armor
Running Fridge

Running Fridge is one of the more prominent towns in the Barren-Lands.

## Origins

Like most, if not all, of the communities in the Barren-Lands, there is little to nothing known about the foundation of the town. It is believed to be one of the very first "thriving" communities in the Barren-Lands, as it is one of the few towns that has a high functioning electrical system and clean running water.

## Significant Events

* 801 AF - Running Fridge becomes the unofficial headquarters of the recently founded Marshal program.
* 840 AF - The Marshal program loses corporate support. Running Fridge begins to lend assistance to keep the program going.
* 878 AF - The Gaiden Corporation attacks and occupies Running Fridge, acting as one of the many factors leading to the Battle of Washboard Ridge.
	+ After the Battle of Washboard Ridge, Running Fridge hosts an election for the new leader of the Marshal program, the first election of its kind in decades.
* 879 AF - Leaders of many of the communities meet in the town, agreeing to what become known as the Running Fridge Accords.
Eve Bryant

Eve Bryant was a Dragoon loyal to the Zeta Clan.

## Early Life

Born in the Eastern Reach, Eve was brought up a faithful and dedicated Dragoon who planned on enlisting in and fighting for the Zeta army.

When her mother died giving birth to her brother, she dealt with her sadness and frustration by focusing on her work at the academy. It would prove fruitful, as she excelled and proved herself very competent in war tactics and combat.

## Zeta Clan Service

Upon graduating from the academy, she was immediately put on active duty. She received commendations for both her combat skill and diplomatic efforts with humans living within Zeta territories.

She rose to the rank of sergeant rather quickly, and was assigned to serve as Hauptmann Patrick Jenner's adjutant. The company was stationed in Lumpur.

### Operation Achilles

Despite her father's efforts, she was on duty in Lumpur when he defected to the Alpha Clan. Operation Achilles was initiated the next day, and she was right in the middle of it. Like most of the Zeta Clan, she never knew of her father's betrayal or her family's fate.

## Death

Like the majority of the Dragoons in Zeta Clan, she was killed during Operation Achilles. She fought to the death defending the city of Lumpur.
Northern Reach

Seemingly less cultured than any of its southern counterparts, the Northern Reach is still something of the “frontier”.  Connected heavily to the Barren-Lands the area is filled with freelancers, settlers, scavengers, and mutants.  As a result few corporations have bothered to settle in the Northern Reach, choosing instead to
simply strip it of resources.  In fact it is the area’s natural bounty that seems to draw any southern borne faction there at all, the incursions into the provinces of Shah and Alsace bloodier examples.
Andrea Boyle

Andrea Boyle was a regional director for Dye Technologies, operating in the Northern Reach.

## Early Life

Boyle was born in the Eastern Reach. Her parents worked for the Dye-Tech Corporation, and they lived in a Kelso, a city-state built around the corporation. There is nothing extraordinarily notable about her childhood: She did well in school, kept to herself, and was well behaved.

## Kelso Militia

At 19 years old, she enlisted in Kelso's militia when the University began assaulting the city in attempts to steal resources. Her humble behavior as a child began to evolve into unabashed confidence as she developed into a soldier.

The Alpha Clan, looking to secure their resources with Dye-Tech and strengthen their relations with the city-state, also moved in to help defend Kelso. The militia fought alongside the Alphas, and Boyle managed to impress some of them with her confidence and ability under fire.

During this time, she also had an affair with a young Alpha sergeant. Once the threat was neutralized, the Alphas left the area and the affair ended.

## Dye-Tech

Once the fighting with the University concluded, Boyle entered the Dye-Tech work force. She made her way up through the ranks rather quickly.

During Operation Achilles, Dye-Tech claimed neutrality. Boyle, being the clever woman she was, utilized her established connections with the Alpha Clan and continued making deals with them under the table. This was the first of many times she would go outside the box to keep the Alpha Clan happy and the corporation's income flowing.

After some time, Boyle found herself regional director of the Northern Reach. She ran a tight ship, sometimes using harsh tactics to keep things moving and to keep profits up. She wasn't completely happy with the position or location, but she knew it was a stepping stone to better things.

When Dye-Tech caravans began being ambushed in the Northern Reach, Boyle reached out to the local Alpha company for assistance. Hauptmann Curze sent Sergeant Kirkland to examine and investigate the situation. Kirkland was hesitant, but Curze insisted.

## Media

* Boyle will be portrayed by Dawn Marron in the upcoming short film *Ascendance*.
* Marron will also be reprising the role in another upcoming short film *Ragdoll*.
Leviathan

Leviathan is a cybernetic abomination created by Malkeris to be his ultimate force of will. Dispatched merely

a handful of recorded times, wherever Leviathan goes death and destruction follow.

It is ultimately tasked with killing Cassandra Volice. Some speculate Leviathan is simply a cybernetic sleeve that Malkeris can insert his own consciousness into.
Brotherhood of Cain

The Brotherhood of Cain was a seemingly religious organization that believed mankind’s dependency on machines is a sin and will ultimately result in its downfall. Loathed by corporations for its protests and terrorist activities, the Brotherhood is persecuted in almost every civilized place. However its membership never seems to waver, disenfranchised and lost souls always willing to attempt to find solace.

The reality is that the Brotherhood is secretly hording and fencing antiquities and lost-tech, though only the upper echelon of the organization knows this truth. This is where the Brotherhood gets its money and corporate support, despite is public façade. True members utilize an almost ninja like training, relying on stealth technology to complete the more clandestine missions of the organization.

May have been partially established by survivors of the Ningaro Cult.
University

During the early years of the Brotherhood of Cain there was a schism, a sect within them coming to view machines as the only way humanity might purge itself of corruption. They delved deeper into fields of cybernetics, nanomachines, and robotics; eventually coming to implement so much machinery within their bodies that they seemingly ceased to be human. Still they hungered for more and above all else wished to share their knowledge with the world.

Becoming known as the University they are techno-plague on the world, raiding corporations for components and research. However their more vicious tactics include infecting unwitting populations with cyber-viruses to “purge” them of the “organic filth” within them. Those infected turn into cyber-zombies, completely under the control of the University and driven to spread their newfound affliction with others.

Everyone: Dragoons, White Horse, Freelancers, and corporations all view The University as one of the most serious threats in existence and actively hunt lairs and labs belonging to the radical group.
Tanya (Natasha Zaytsev)

Tanya is a freelancer who is currently active in the Northern Reach.

## Early Life

Tanya was born as Natasha Zaytsev in the Southern Reach. She was named after her father, Nathaniel Zaytsev, who turned out to be a very emotionally and physically abusive parent. When she ran away from home, she opted to instead go by her middle name: Tonya.

Struggling to survive as a young teenager, she was eventually thrown into prison for stealing food from a large marketplace. Within just a few months of being in the prison, Kallen took Tanya under her wing and busted her out during a riot.

## Freelancer

### Kallen's Crew

Tanya served in Kallen's crew for sometime. Under Kallen's leadership, Tanya became quite the capable freelancer. Tanya gained a reputation and became a wanted person in the Southern Reach. She wasn't the only one, and Kallen moved the crew's operations to the Northern Reach.

After an unspecified incident with Kallen, Tanya left the crew under extremely bad terms.

### Working Solo

Fueled by her anger with Kallen, Tanya slowly began to earn a reputation as being a ruthless mercenary and bounty hunter. After some time, she was specifically sought after for jobs requiring violent solutions.
First Fall of Melbourne

The First Fall of Melbourne or the First Battle of Melbourne was fought from July 17th to August 3rd 798 AF on the southern coast of Roommenor. It was the first major battle of the War of a Century and marks the first severe defeat suffered by the collective forces of the Galad Administration and the Guardians. The battle was significant in proving that Divider's growing rebellion was a larger threat than had previously been believed. Following his victory Divider ordered mass executions of anyone remotely tied to the Galad Administration and began ferrying citizens and POWs to Gronic to serve as slave labor.
Foxhound

Foxhound is the name of an assault type Guardian built in the years before the War of a Century. She was one of the "Hound" variants.

Initially mentored by Aquila, Foxhound was quickly released from apprenticeship once the conflict with Divider escalated. In the opening years she proved herself a valuable scout and escort, helping to shepherd human civilians away from the fighting on many occasions. This position saw her mocked by Wolfhound until she single-handedly slew two Com-Stats.

During the early decades of the War of a Century she was dispatched to investigate and destroy offshore facilities being constructed by Divider's forces. These stations ended up not belonging to the rogue Guardian but rather members of the technophile University. Ensnaring Foxhound the cultists secreted her away for study. Discovering the unprecedented power within her SOUL Reactor, the University members attempted to reverse engineer it but failing to do so settled for simply using her as a power plant for their facility.

Though she is currently listed as MIA, most Guardians have written Foxhound off as dead.

## Armament

* Plasma Blades x2 - Projected From Forearm Armor
* 12mm Minigun - Mounted On Shoulder Rail
* 9mm APR - Hip Mounted
* Wire Guided Missile Pack x2 - Mounted On Leg Armor
Barren-Lands

North of Roommenor and virtually surrounding any viable territory is what has been dubbed the “Barren-Lands”. These eradiated hot zones are wastelands of the old world, filled with both its horror and its wonder.

Those that live in the Barren-Lands are typically undesirables from the corporate city-states, many deported there as punishment.

But it is not just home of refugees and convicts, the Barren-Lands also teems with mutants, monsters, and strange abominations. However the Adventure Corps and other treasure hunters still venture into this hellish wilderness hoping to find enough Lost-Tech to strike it rich.
Freelancer

In an increasingly corporate world the need for those that operate outside the law and will seemingly do anything for money only grows. The term freelancer is used to describe these people, these seemingly violent jacks of all trades. Typically freelancer is used to describe any independent contractor including but not limited to: mercenaries, assassins, retrievers, smugglers, and saboteurs. Practically every group from corporations to Dragoons will hire freelancers, always needing extra muscle or deniability.
Tarkhan Silva

Tarkhan Silva is a Freelancer commonly associated with political and corporate assassinations. Believed to possess a suit of experimental stealth armor he is sometimes referred to by the moniker "Revenant", owing to his apparent ability strike without warning seemingly anywhere.

## Early Life

Nothing is truly known about Tarkhan's origins or if that is actually his given name. This has only been muddled by conflicting reports from various individuals claiming to be his parents, lovers, or even Tarkhan himself. Most intelligence agencies believe that this disinformation is actually encouraged and even assisted by Tarkhan, an electric smokescreen to prevent any true details of his life from surfacing.

### Brotherhood of Cain

One detail that is widely accepted is that Tarkhan was at one time a member of the semi-religious Brotherhood of Cain, but as to what capacity that remains another mystery. Many speculate he was trained by them to be an assassin, skills that would later serve him well in his freelancing career. Others believe he was a low ranking member and perhaps little more than chattel which prompted him to flee.

### Gaiden Corporation

Another often accepted detail comes from a mysterious robbery of a Gaiden Corporation research facility. Though the company claimed nothing of value was taken an employee later posted on the net that the facility was developing advanced stealth capabilities derived from lost-technology. This led to a conspiracy theory that whoever had burgled the facility must have known about the stealth tech and made off with it, Gaiden lying to cover it up. Gaiden refused to acknowledge the claims but the theory only seemed more founded when the employee who'd posted about it seemingly disappeared. Some believe the employee was actually Tarkhan himself.

## Revenant

While Tarkhan may have been active for years prior his first public acknowledgement came in 871 AF when he killed a delegate for Dye-Tech at a corporate junction. The assassination was in daylight with several witnesses yet Tarkhan struck and disappeared without a trace. This brazen act garnered him both ire and admiration, security agencies hunting him to punish and hire him.

From there his list of kills grew, each assassination even more daring and maddening. All eye witness accounts told the same story; of an assailant who appeared and disappeared as if out of thin air. Thermal and biometric scanners were implemented more regularly in large events but even those typically did not stop these ghostly hits. It is from here that Tarkhan's nickname "Revenant" emerged.

No one has been safe from his strikes, even Dragoons having turned up dead by this mysterious assassin, though some attribute these deaths to Headhunters. Contacting Tarkhan is a seemingly impossible task though rumors abound that all it takes is enough money and he'll reach out to you. No one is certain how he chooses his clients either, few willing to admit to having hired him. All of these has made him a beloved figure on the net and many an underground chat site can be found scrawled with love letters to the assassin.
Operation Myrmidon

While the Alpha Clan operation to obliterate the Zeta Clan and seize their naval resources as a huge success, a sizable
portion of the Zeta high command is able to flee to the island of Haiphe which had long served as a Zeta airbase.

Realizing that experienced Dragoons will be
needed for the coming invasion of Roommenor, the Alpha Clan decides the better
way to deal with the Zeta remnants is with an aggressive bombing campaign and
pounding the island to dust. Dubbed Operation Myrmidon, it begins roughly one
month after the official defeat of the Zeta Clan.

Poor intelligence on the
Alpha Clan’s part fails to identify the flak defenses, as well as the new SAM systems installed after Zeta forces fled to Haiphe. The inaugural operation
is destructive but too costly on the part of the attackers and Alpha Clan
headquarters decides to relegate their operations to night raids. However the
beleaguered Zeta defenders have since imported pilots from across their prior
territory all in a desperate gamble to shame the Alpha Clan enough to get them
to leave the island alone.

Operation Myrmidon drags on for nearly three months
with mounting losses on the Alpha Clan side. However there are no subsequent
reinforcements or relief troops for the exhausted and besieged Zeta forces and
eventually they are forced to surrender.
Zeta Clan

Formed by the Jethroth Family, the Zeta Clan settled along the coastlines and quickly developed a strong culture associated with the sea. As the years progressed this would lead them to establish a coastal empire, trading with both the Northlands and Roommenor. This extensive reach would mature Zeta culture, sparking their interest in other avenues besides making war.

Thanks to the work of Warlord Adolphus, they emerged victorious from the Dragoon Civil War, cementing them as the pinnacle Dragoon Clan in existence. However this victory would greatly anger the Alpha Clan and their rising investment in the arts would see them turn their backs on Malkeris.

In retaliation, Malkeris would contribute to the Alpha Clan’s subjugation of the Zeta Clan, resulting in what many believe to be a crime of culture. This eventually led to Operation Achilles, which ultimately wiped the Zeta Clan off the map.
Saanvi Lokai

Saanvi Lokai was a human general serving in Divider's Forces during the War of a Century along with the organizer and facilitator of all of Divider's labor camps.

Originally little more than a lowly civil servant working in Gronic she swiftly became devoted to Divider, believing him to be something of a savior. In a move to prolong her life and bring herself closer to her mechanical idol she underwent heavy cybernetic augmentation.

Later, she and Divider would disagree on many issues prompting Divider to order her execution.
Ragdoll

*Ragdoll* is a microfilm in the Dragoon Universe. It was written by Dawn Marron and directed by Breigh Fouhy.

## Premise

Looking to further her career in the Dye-Tech Corporation, Elois MacGregor sits down with the board of directors. They surprise her by presenting her with a medical procedure form, one that would require her being sterilized. When MacGregor is hesitant to sign, she is badgered by Chairman Phillips. Director Boyle steps in for MacGregor, allowing her to take more time to make her decision.

In a flashback, a younger Boyle holds her newborn baby. She discusses the baby's future with the father, an Alpha Clan dragoon. Boyle claims that she can raise the baby, but the father insists that the baby would most likely be persecuted as a half-breed. Their argument is cut short when a woman arrives to take the baby. Submitting to the father's will, Boyle names the baby Elois before allowing him to take her. Before he leaves, Boyle places a doll inside the baby's swaddle. The woman takes the baby and leaves.

Back in the conference room, MacGregor asks Boyle if she went through the procedure. Phillips reacts extremely defensively. After MacGregor and Phillips share a bitter exchange, Boyle steps in once again and claims she never had the operation. Phillips calmly demands MacGregor's signature. MacGregor finally appears to jot down her signature and is promptly dismissed. As she places her pen in her purse, it is revealed she is carrying the same doll that Boyle gave her baby.

Once MacGregor leaves, Phillips is handed the form. instead of her signature, it is revealed that MacGregor wrote "Screw you." Phillips is shocked, while Boyle simply smiles.

Com-Tower Factory

The Com-Tower Factory is the colloquial name for Evangelion's manufacturing facility situated beneath Mount Reverence on Roommenor. Built around 390 AF the factory officially serves as both laboratory and workshop for Evangelion and was where he first developed the SOUL Reactor along with Com-Stats and Guardians. It is believed the name for the manufactory is derived from the Com-Stats themselves, predating the development of the Guardians. Vehemently revered by both Com-Stats and Guardians, it was a prime target for Divider during the War of a Century though each offensive to take the facility was thwarted. When the Alpha Clan invades Roommenor they slate their ultimate objective as Mount Reverence with the goal of destroying the factory.
Galad Arms Deal

When emissaries of the Epsilon Corporation arrived on Roommenor they sought out both Divider and the Galad Administration. Eager for a leg up on their enemy both sides purchased arms though Divider quickly reverse engineered the weapons and established his own factories. Angered by this breach of etiquette Epsilon announced it would be pulling out from Roommenor, leaving the Galad Administration desperate for a means to change their minds.

The solution came with what became known as the “Galad Arms Deal”. This pact granted territory to the Epsilon Corporation to establish factories and depots in Roommenor in exchange for an exclusive deal with the Galad Administration. Unaware of Epsilon’s origins, this marks the first Dragoon Clan peaceful invited to Roommenor and those depots and ports constructed would greatly enable the Alpha Clan’s invasion decades later.
Guardian

Queens Guard

When the Galad Family rose to power in Roommenor their first act was to solidify a relationship with the Guardians to ensure a lasting regime. However following this they were called upon to form a fighting force that could do battle alongside their new mechanical allies and thus the Queens Guard were formed. For over a century the Queens Guard would protect Roommenor for any manner of adversary, most especially the conflict with Divider.

Following Divider’s surrender and the Years of Jubilee the Queens Guard would be called upon to fight against Wolfhound’s uprising and more specifically the Dragoon Invasion. Their heavy losses suffered at the hands of the Alpha Clan would be one of the deciding factors in the Galad Administration forming an alliance with the Dragoons.

With the Queen and Chieftain Bloomer’s marriage the Queens Guard now found themselves battling against Guardians and many desert to the growing insurgency. To discourage internal struggles the Alpha Clan sends thousands of Queens Guard to the Northern Continent to fight against the increasing threat of White Horse and the Zealots.
Colin Peterson

Colin Peterson is a Dragoon loyal to the Alpha Clan. He grew up alongside Jeremy Bloomer, and the two

remained best friends for many years.

## Early Life

Peterson had your standard issue privileged life as an Alpha Dragoon in the Southern Reach. His family was wealthy, and Colin was noted as being a nice but spoiled child. He was best friends with future chieftain Jeremy Bloomer growing up, and the two entered the Academy at the same time.

## Service to Alpha Clan

Upon graduating from the Academy, Peterson was assigned to the Intelligence Division of the Clan. There, due to his father's connections, he was given an easy but well-respected job in the division.

When Jeremy Bloomer was given command of Phoenix Squad, he initially wanted to recruit Peterson to the squad. Chieftain David Bloomer and other Alpha leaders advised against Jeremy against this, however, as to not appear to show favoritism. Peterson displayed annoyance with the decision, but later he revealed to Jeremy that he secretly didn't want to go into combat.

He in the Intelligence Division for years. When Jeremy Bloomer became Chieftain with the invasion looming on the horizon, Bloomer appointed Peterson to a top leadership in the Intelligence Division. This sparked even more criticism of Bloomer and gave birth to new criticism for Peterson. Peterson was very overwhelmed in the beginning, not initially comfortable with so much responsibility.

Warlords critical of Bloomer began focusing on Peterson, bullying him into accomplishing their own goals. When the Invasion Line is created, some of these warlords conspire to use nuclear weapons to break the deadlock. They pressure Peterson into helping them, making him agree to go on a mission to secure the weapons from a wealthy arms dealer. Despite his best efforts, insurgents discovered the plot and prevented Peterson from obtaining him. When the plot is revealed to Alpha leadership, Bloomer is forced to demote Peterson. This also causes a rift in Bloomer and Peterson's friendship, with Bloomer feeling like he could no longer trust Peterson.

Peterson continued to serve quietly in the same position, unofficially being blacklisted from further promotion. Although he puts on a facade of being upset, Peterson has been heard stating he is quite content with his position.
Northlands

Resting above the Northern Reach almost like an island in the middle of the Barren-Lands lies the Northlands, a simple and almost forgotten portion of the world

The citizens of the Northlands have returned to an almost feudal lifestyle, several “kingdoms” dividing the land between them. To the west is Kelos, a region dominated primarily by its rolling plains and rather nomadic citizenry. In the northeast lies Grenka, this small kingdom known for its ports which bring in majority of the trade with the southern corporate city-states. Nestled in the mountains of the southeast is Andorn, this region consistently in conflict with the mutants and marauders that pass out of the Barren-Lands into Northlands.

The status quo of the Northlands is shattered when the Zealots and Maulers are set loose upon them, butchering through hundreds of miles before being challenged by combined might of Andorn and Kelos. This enemy host was only able to reach so far because Grenka made a pact with JDF to open its borders to the Zealots and Maulers.
