Part One: Who are we?

Cerberus is the codename for a black ops organization that was part of the Order before going rogue. Cerberus has since evolved into a human-survivalist paramilitary group led by a well known Bretonian, many know him just as The Colonel, few know him as Jack Aubrey. Cerberus' core belief is that humanity is under costant threat from possible alien species and that the Order is to hamstrung by law and public opinion to truly act against these dangerous foes. For Cerberus, any method of advancing humanities ascension are justified, including illegal or dangerous experimentation, terrorist activities, sabotage and assassination. Cerberus operatives accept that these methods are brutal, but they know that if they want to save humanity they are forced to use these methods. Cerberus has many operatives planted throughout Sirius, which includes House space, who regularly report back to Jack Aubrey. Due to our very large network of contacts, we effectively have access to most systems, major trade stops, and colonies in Sirius. However, Cerberus has no knowledge of the political climate in Gallia, thus rendering Cerberus blind in the Gallia systems. Cerberus is very well-funded with several unnamed suppliers and contributors within the Bretonian military-industrial complex contributing credits and resources to Cerberus, trusting Jack Aubrey will make the right decisions. Cerberus also owns several front corporations which further fund and support their operations. Classified financial records indicate that Cerberus has a reliable income stream of several billion credits per year. Communication throughout Cerberus sometimes takes the form of steganographic messages embedded within extranet broadcasts. These messages can range from ship movement orders or instructions to financiers to direct funds to their main cell. Unfortunately this method of communication was recently compromised by the Liberty Security Force. Cerberus has obtained quantum-entanglement communicators with one such device already installed onboard the Terminus to give Col. Aubrey a more secure, direct means of communication with the many Cerberus operatives across Sirius. Cerberus is known to only recruit highly skilled Order pilots to maintain their elite force, their bomber wing, also called the Shock Wing, is a force to be reckoned with.
The current headquarters of Cerberus is rumored to be onboard the Terminus, an experimental Osiris class battleship built in secret by them to serve as a mobile base for Cerberus. Soon a ground base will be established on Planet Primus in Omicron Kappa.

Planet Primus Wrote:
Owner: Zoners
Location: 5C/5D, Omicron Kappa
Nomad Worlds
Technical information
Population: 1500
Docking: Yes
Terrain: Terrestrial
Diameter: 13,146 km
Mass: 5.81 x 10e24 kg
Temperature: -32°C to 25°C
Escape velocity: 11.8 km/sec

Primus was discovered by a privately financed deep space recon expedition in 490 A.S. First explorers were amazed by the exotic indigenous wildlife inhabiting the planet and the lack of any large plants. Air was fine for breathing and soon several thousands of colonists settled the planet. In 40 years many of the colonists died of unknown causes. The remaining colonists conducted research that revealed strong pockets of radiation deep inside the planet that were harmful to humans planetside. Transports were sent to Primus in hope to evacuate the planet's population before it was to late. However, the transports were destroyed by unknown alien ships before arriving at Primus. Afterwards, aliens (that were later called "Nomads") took the system under their control and Primus became unreachable for humans. Communication with planet was lost and after the only jump hole into Omicron Theta collapsed, inhabitants of Primus - if any of them survived - were completely isolated from Sirius sector.




After further field tests, our scientists managed to create a very rare piece of equipment, an IRV tower that is capable of emitting an IRV shield around the future base site, allowing the residents within the shield to be protected to all the known effects of the radiation. The force of this device is limited to only half a kilometer and many devices are used to protect the base. The radiation present on the planet's surface makes it virtually impossible for the local fauna to grow, leaving a very low concentration of vegetation on the planet.
After an extended period of exploration on the planet's surface, our xenoarcheologist, Dr. Dave Synk, managed to find an entrance to some underground passages. These passages extended for several kilometers under the planet's surface. Later on it was found that deep inside a section of the grotto was a burial site, the question that now remains is who is buried there?

Part Two: Short History

Cerberus was founded by a an ex-Bretonian Armed Forces officer, Col. Jack Aubrey in close collaboration with a rogue Deep Space Engineering researcher named Dave Synk. Jack Aubrey left the Armed Forces during the attack on Cambridge at the hands of the Phantoms when a MOX warhead was deliberatly dropped on the planet's main settlement, Brighton. Jack in a matter of seconds lost his parents and his friends. He decided to leave Bretonia forever to seek revenge against those who took everything away from him.

He founded Cerberus some months later with the help of an ex-researcher of DSE, Dave Synk, and with the help of two former Order pilots, Elijah Jurgen and Justin Cheezcat.

The most famous event that involved Cerberus directly was during the Liberty Navy's punitive assault on the Order. Cerberus fought side by side with their former allies to keep the Navy away from planet Toledo. They managed to survive the Navy's onslaught but they suffered a great loss.

Another event that is memorable enough is of course when the Outcasts invaded Minor with heavy warships after an assault in Omicron Gamma. The Order wasn't there when they were needed, but Cerberus and a former Order cell known as the TCG caught the outcasts in a crossfire and pushed them out from Minor while suffering very little damage.

Cerberus eventually left Minor after some "negative" events that involved the Order. They now operate from Omicron Kappa in close collaboration with their new friends, The Cincinnatus Guard (TCG).


Part Three: Learn about Cerberus

Cerberus is divided into numerous cells, also called sections, which have no knowledge of their counterparts. This ensures that should one cell be compromised, the others would not be compromised. Each cell is led by an operative who reports directly to Col. Aubrey. Cerberus is made up of many sections or wings, the shock wing, the support wing, the research division and the main wing, but the most famous cell is the elite wing of Cerberus.

As of 818, Cerberus consists of 450 operatives organized into five cells. Jack Aubrey oversees all projects carried out by the cells personally and consequently, there are can be upwards of a dozen projects active at one time.

The Cells:

Shock Wing TAG: Cerberus|{SW}Firstname.Lastname [Note: No rank is required in the tag]

The Shock Wing is the cell in which bomber class vessels are the only force. Their pilots are highly trained and experienced in battle, they are also known to be remarkably calm during a fight even when they are completely outgunned and outnumbered.

Support Wing TAG: Cerberus|{SW}-Shipname (For Gunboats) / Cerberus|{S}-Shipname (For Cruisers)

The Support wing is the active small capital ship fleet of Cerberus|, the goal of this section is to provide the cover to the Shock Wing during "big" battles in which the main targets are the fighters of the enemy faction. The goal of the Support Wing is to fend-off any enemy fighters from the Shock Wing.

Escort Wing TAG: Cerberus|Rank.Firstname.Lastname

While the goal of the Support Wing is to fend-off any kind of threat to the shock wing's bombers, the escort wing's goal is to defend the Main Wing {MW} against enemy bombers. They usually concentrate all on a target and take it out in a matter of seconds.

Main Wing TAG: Cerberus|{MW}-Shipname

The Main Wing is the active capital ship fleet of Cerberus. The Main Fleet is acting only on high risk missions and during possible encounters with enemy capital ships is highly probable. The Main Wing is also formed by the top ranking members who have access to the most devastating weaponry across Sirius.

Research Division TAG: Cerberus|R|Firstname.Lastname/ Cerberus|R|Shipname

The research wing is lead by the well known xenoarcheologist and quantum physicyst, David Synk, the job of this section is research. All forms of research from new weapons, new shields, new armors, space anomalies or other related research are the domain of this section.

Elite Wing TAG: Cerberus|Rank.Firstname.Lastname*

The elite wing is the well known section lead by Col. Aubrey, featuring only highly trained members of Cerberus, the elite wing members are known to be victorious even when outnumbered.

Allowed ships: Fighters, Freighters, Transports, Prison Liner, Gunboats, Cruisers, Battleships < Limited

Standard Order Ship Wrote:Bastet 042A The Order Very Heavy Fighter


Even within the Order rare sightings of the Bastet are cause for rumor and speculation. A limited production testbed model plays host to the wild imaginings and engineering sorcery of some of the most potent creative minds of Sirius, when one is put to the field for some practical 'runs' the results are as violent as they are spellbinding.

Nephthys 015A The Order Very Heavy Fighter


Orillion's Corps of Engineers latest development, Nephthys is a vastly improved Anubis. During the Nomad war, Anubis proved to be a reliable ship, but its armor and weaponry were outclassed by alien enemies. Many skilled pilots of The Order were killed in unequal fights, and weakening of the organization lead to doubtful alliance with Corsairs. Using a Titan power array, Order engineers constructed the Nephthys, one of the heaviest and most powerful fighters ever seen in Sirius.


Sekhmet 019A The Order Bomber


When the Bounty Hunters Guild focused it's capital fleet on the Omicron systems, the Order needed a bomber that was both capable of fending off these attackers and efficiently engineered due to the Order's limited resources. The Sekhmet represents the pinnacle of Order engineering and allows the Order to deal heavy damage to attacking capital ships at minimal risk.

Hathor The Order Gunboat


When the Zoners constructed their gunboat, a more offensive variant prototype was developed at the same time. This design was then secretly shared with the Order, who then developed plans for large scale construction. Thus was birthed the Hathor. Acting mainly as an anti-fighter/bomber ship, this successful class rapidly became the most produced capital class vessel in the Order. With an advanced reactor and superior targeting system, the Hathor has superior firepower, to meet the needs of its intended role: to reduce any hostile scouts trying to penetrate Order territory to their core, flaming, components.

Cerberus Modified Ships

Bastet 042B Cerberus Elite Wing Very Heavy Fighter


When the war between the Corsairs and the Zoners started, Cerberus knew that their capital ships were worthless against dozens and dozens of Corsairs bombers. The engineers aboard the Terminus managed to improve the well known Bastet of standard production to fit it to the needs of the elite wing.

Resheph The Order/Cerberus Reconnaissance Cruiser


Though being an organization possessing awe inspiring means of destruction, the Order's primary purpose has always been one of vigilance. Working under the philosophy that the best war is won before it begins, the Resheph was commissioned.

Possessing scanning technology of dizzying sophistication, rumored to be able to create tunnels through which distant stars can be scanned in real time, in a frame capable of incredible feats of stealth with evasive technology capable of ferrying it safely from the grimmest encounters.

NOTE: "Geb" Light Carrier and "Osiris" Battleship class vessels are LIMITED to high ranking members only.
