The year is 2600, and the United Coalition of Organized Nations has slowly reclaimed the Outer Empire following a devastating war; but there are still enemies at the gates, not just at the gates -- but behind them as well.

Introduction

“Just start from the beginning, everything you know … “




‘The Coalition is a big place, a really big place; thirty years old and I’ve only travelled to two other planets. Three, if you count Kronedegor, but I don’t, none of us did. For years, the Red Lands – y’know, the OE, Outer Empire – had been a festering ground for anyone with a beef against the UC, UCON, the Coalition right? I mean, history class depicted the place as a virulent bastion of monsters and wolves in sheep’s clothing; Yusuma lo Nadeev* and those guys, Zharkov and Khariq of Red Halo*, guys that wanted to kill everything the United Government stood for, watch it burn. They were about as right as a Murlduke calling a Tarsan white, stupid huh; the Coalition were the bad guys in the OE, man, the worst of the fuckin’ worst – ten years left out of the history books between the Colonial Military and the new Apparatus, did you ever catch that?

Probably not; no one did. We all just took it at face value and let the government sign our papers for us. Y’know how they’d trap people into the PDF? They would take a brief skirmish in the OE, run it on every major news outlet in the Forge, the Inner Empire, the Republics, and then they’d put this political spin on it – ‘they’re radical Yusmas*’ or ‘Sectarian nationalists’. It wasn’t just political either, they’d get the Holy Church involved in that stuff too, Oriyak Orthonicans* were discriminated against, hell they still are today, and the media would just eat that shit up. I’m dead serious. I was young and dumb back then, every kid fresh out of Fourth-Ed* was.

I joined because my maximum hold-off was up; you can only put off your mandatory service for two years, I was actually two and a half over mine. They came knockin’ on my door and said ‘Boy, you’ve got a month to organize your things, and then you’re off to the Defense Force.’; I wasn’t too concerned, though, the OE had calmed down, it was 2600, the Insurgencies were long gone by the time the PDF started deploying to the planets in the Red Lands – sorry, Outer Empire. That place was sure different than I thought it would be; I half expected to see giant Yusma worship towers when I got off the dropship at Japori Prime, hell, Japori Prime doesn’t even have a population over 2 bil.

The Outer Empire was a free fire zone, no matter how many guns and bodies the Coalition pumped into it. Even today, you can go to a village in the OE and not see a lick of Coalition influence on an entire continent; they’re back in the stone age out there, attached to a culture that had died away for a century or two before someone finally just put their flag in the ground and said ‘Back to the Mali*’. The Outer Empire is massive, you have to understand this; hundreds of worlds, billions – possibly trillions – of people still leashed to religious pragmatism and secluded agendas. The Oriyaks, the Hykans, the Azriks, the Soruks, Taijha, Arrokan, Mesric, there’s a little bit of all of them in the Outer Empire; it’s practically endless man, so many fucking people that subscribed to a ‘simpler’ way of life. Some people don’t even call them Scatterrans anymore – they lump them in with the ET’s, the Scraps, huh?

Out in the OE, most people don’t even know that the Coalition isn’t the only government in this galaxy. Ask an Oriyak from Esrayat, there’s a distinct possibility he’s never heard of a Terran, or the Hundred Lions; he’d laugh in your face and run you out of town, they don’t quite like a process of thought that challenges a thousand years of cultural isolation. Not the kind of people you have a book club meeting with.

For good reason, too; the Coalition is oppressive, doesn’t matter which way you cut it. Forced consolidation of the Scatterran Charter, exclusive production of goods and resources only with government sanction, hell, they’ll even segregate people based on religious belief – ‘separation of Church and State’ – to the extreme. Those people didn’t flee the Coalition to later bring about it’s downfall, they fled because we wouldn’t give them any alternative, they fled because we were the epitome of every sin they were against. And we are.

You know UCON treats the water, right? Treats the atmosphere and oceans, using the wind currents to spread nanomachines the size of water molecules; they drop it in high-orbit, let it settle on the planet and let them replicate, and in a decade they have a tightly controlled environment. They can kill crop yields in days if someone says something the government doesn’t approve of, can wipe out entire species of indigenous animals that people make their livings off of if some governor doesn’t sign the right paper. It’s fucked, and all any of us ever did was just shrug it off and not give a damn.

Until Kronedegor, that is. It was a agricultural world on the edge of the Massiv Nebula, a metaphorical ocean separating the OE from the Radriclif Avenue, leading to Outland through the Veil. I couldn't have even found it on a map before I'd gotten there; fresh out of PDF training -- which wasn't training, barely 2 months of just exercise and live-fire training -- the Coalition announced it would be replacing the Marine Infantry Corps in the OE with the PDF. They needed the Marines to fight the ET's, the Taiyou, the Aschen, the Belkans, those people. People I personally doubt even exist, in all reality. Back on track, it took my regiment three months to redeploy from the Forge, to the farthest reaches of the Outer Empire. To the Kronedegor system. It wasn't even a system, in all honesty; just two stars and one lump of rock that somehow managed to survive. In the past million years or so, the star system had accumulated about three other planets, two that were habitable, the other was a gas giant. The gas giant collapsed when the binary stars gravity tore it to shreds to feed one of the dwarf's burn -- the Kronedegor system is dying, in the next couple thousand years that red dwarf will run out it's mass and collapse into a neutron star, by that time I hope Kronedegor is nothing but fucking ash.

When we got there, man was that a shell shock. I'd seen pictures from the Outer Empire; some of the planets barely had 2 billion in population, 2 billion, that's the population of some cities on other Coalition worlds in the Forge. Kronedegor had a population of 16 million, all scattered across small villages and slightly larger cities situated around the resources. The Apparatus population? Less than 2 million. That's less than 600,000 trained soldiers to maintain 16 million people on a planet where a gun was as necessary as water. To say that we were walking into a powder keg was an understatement; everyone knew Kronedegor could erupt into revolt at the drop of a hat ... '



"And why didn't it?"

'Why? Well, we had no clue of course. Heck, I was surprised they greeted us so kindly -- it started making sense the longer we stayed there, though, the longer we thought what we were doing there was 'police work' instead of 'fucking guinea pigs'.

"What happened at Kronedegor?"

'What happened at Kronedegor? We all fucking died. The government got us killed. All of us.'





THE KRONEDEGOR INCIDENT,
A Science-Fiction, Horror RP

Toggle Rules

The Kronedegor Incident is an RP based within the Lone Faction Saga universe, which will be taking many of it's political, social and national backdrops from the larger scope of the omniscient Multiverse. This RP will be contained within it, but will not be directly associated; this game will take place specifically inside the United Coalition of Organized Nations, specifically in one of the farthest, most undeveloped of small planets orbiting a star. The rules of this RP will be fairly relaxed, though if necessary stricter implementations may be added. Players will have the choice whether to immerse themselves in the Scatterran/Coalition culture and society or not; but remember that you are always open, and encouraged to, add original content such as planets, names, peoples, locations, and influences from any aspect where they can be applied. This RP does have a predestined plot, but it is in no means restricting; there will be countless opportunities for characters to experience and create scenarios on both the planet of Kronedegor, or elsewhere within the Coalition.


The Rules


1; I don't expect everyone to immerse themselves in the Coalition agenda or Scatterran policies, in contrast, I would prefer to have a very wide cast of characters considering the placement of the primary group (a Planetary Defense Force [PDF] platoon); these are not trained, authentic soldiers, and are more equatable to a well-armed, yet otherwise poorly motivated and led militia.

2; For those that will choose to immerse themselves, I am more than willing to provide all the information I have created in the LFS to help them. Before anything, I would suggest first examining the Coalition's wikipage, and then the larger wiki as well. Know that the information on there is often subject to change and is constantly being added to; I hope that people will be able to bring their own natural ideas, meaning that anything that is part of this RP will become (unless requested) part of the Lone Faction Saga.

3; There will be combat in this RP, and I plan for this to be oriented to the more darker side of combat; as a hint, angry Oriyaks with guns won't be the only thing the PDF will have to worry about on Kronedegor, get ready to fight all sorts of nasty beasts. The unexplained and explainable will both be a necessary, integral part of this story; Kronedegor will hide many, many dangerous secrets.

4; I request that everyone have at least a basic understanding of Military procedure before joining; I don't expect a group of weekend warriors to be proficient in combat, but in their brief two months of training they would be given a rough crash-course in how to conduct themselves like a proper military outfit. That being said, I'll request that no one try and force excessive military jargon or doctrine on their or any other characters. The Coalition will have an extensive, native military procedure and lifestyle, but that will be explored IC.

Gentillic and Racial Separation Sheets; Scatterrans are very focused on origin; Azricans do not get along very well with Oriyaks, and Hykans are not quite fond of the Arrokans -- this will be updated later, with more races, so if you would prefer to wait to submit a character until you find a race of your liking, please feel free to.


Azrican (Az-ri-kan)

The Azrican (Azrik plural) is most notably the more human race of Scatter. ‘Azrik’ means “normal essence” in Catoni Cyrillic, having the definition as ‘Basic’ in Oriyak. The Azrik is commonly identified to many races that could be found on Earth. They often share many of the same traits as well. However, there is definite distinction between the humans of Earth and their counterparts on Scatter. Due to a heavier gravity on Scatter the Azricans have developed taller and bulkier bodies than their Earthling counterparts.

Statistics;
Average Height (Males); 5’8 - 6’3
Average Height (Females); 5’7 - 6’2
Average Weight (Males); 190 lbs - 250 lbs
Average Weight (Females); 167 lbs -179 lbs


Oriyak (Oar-e-yak)


The common Oriyak is a strong, stoic individual whom is often raised with an air of racial superiority and a tang of racism throughout their younger years. ‘Respectful’ in the Oriyak language, most Oriyaks throw respect to the wind when conversing with others of different races or religions, or even different regions. Their frigid demeanor can be linked to the origin of their people on the frozen tundra and timberland of Oriyak, Scatter. The Oriyak male stands at often larger heights and weights than many other gentillic races of Scatter, known for a somewhat imposing figure and often dense musculature; their adherence to tradition and simplicity is due in part to their deep connection with their culture, many Oriyak are often orthodox or even fanatical where their religion and beliefs are concerned.

Statistics;
Average Height (Males); 6'0 - 6’6
Average Height (Females); 5'10 - 6’4
Average Weight (Males); 200 lbs - 290 lbs


Hykan (Hy-Can)


The Hykan is a metaphorical ‘bridge’ race between the related Oriyak and Azrik, hailing from the lush plains and rolling mountain tops of Aluerone. The Hykan instill a regimented and defined society amongst them and their other sects, this is somewhat similar to the form of Oriyak upbringing; however, a deep rivalry brings an end to any similarities between the Oriyaks or the Hykans. With similarities to the Azricans, a Hykan shares a common belief in the descendants of the Ancients. The average Hykan is more similar to the Catoni beliefs than their routinely agnostic counterparts, yet there are several different sects of Hykans that believe in many different forms of religions and beliefs.


Statistics;
Average Height (Males); 5’9 - 6’3
Average Height (Females); 5’8 - 6’1
Average Weight (Males); 180 lbs - 250 lbs
Average Weight (Females); 160 lbs - 190 lbs
Average Weight (Females); 170 lbs - 190 lbs
