34TH BRIGADE
Faction Discord Feedback thread Recruitment section Full database


The 34th Order long-range expeditionary brigade «Hades» is one of the Order's many units tasked with finding, studying, and destroying the alien threat of the Nomads, their minions, and potential allies. The Brigade is based on a science-force approach to the task at hand and operating directly in the Sirius sector, using a minimum of force to maximize effect. Though the Brigade's past between 833-834 A.S. is shrouded in dark mystery (as veterans calling it - "expedition"), they remain one of humanity's primary weapons against its true enemy hiding in the shadows.



- "As our cruiser jumped out of the hyperspace, long silence on the bridge was broken by a sudden flood of radio traffic, emerging ship signatures, and terabytes of incoming data about system changes we hadn't seen in a year.

We found ourselves on the edge of the Omicron Pi system. Sirius sector smiled at us like a mother smiles at the return of her prodigal son. We had no choice but to smile back. But Adam didn't: he looked down, thinking about those who hadn't made it to the end.

Sirius smile was deceptive. Our smiles were same. Finally, we are home."

SYNOPSIS

When humanity needed help again - they came home.

The Order survived the loss of Toledo and was able to regain its former power and multiply it many times over. Reaching the peak of their greatness in 830 A.S., the continuators of Orillion's work suggested that the alien threat of the Nomads in Sirius was only a fraction of what might await them outside the sector.

Founding several “30th Pattern” units, the 34th Brigade became the largest expeditionary force among its peers. Adam Helson took on the important mission of exploring places where man would not set foot for at least another century. And the unknown opened its gates to them.

Things that are incomprehensible to the human mind, artificially created anomalies and hitherto-unseen in its size structures literally mocked the mind of the Brigade members. But, as is always the case, human persistence prevailed. They brought important knowledge, at great cost.

And while the powerful tear the sector apart once more, the 34th Brigade is carrying the banners of the Order to Sirius, determined to end the Nomad threat once and for all. A new chapter of the confrontation between humans and Daam-Kvosh creatures begins here.

STORY

830 A.S. The Order is experiencing an unprecedented rise in strength. A series of brilliant strategic operations against the The Core and the infliction of several defeats on the Nomad forces closed another decade on the calendar in favor of humanity defenders. A flood of recruits and their active combat alignment with veterans has spurred the formation of a host of new units that were expected to become the next generation of the Casper Orillion structure.

At the height of their power, the Order's commanders create a new project to explore the “distant worlds” that lie beyond the Sirius Sector. The mission was to search for and discover other intelligent life forms and study the alien threat to ensure humanity's safety for decades to come. The “30th Pattern” units became humanity's calling card into the depths of the unknown. Among such units was the 34th Hades Brigade, whose command was assumed by Adam Helson, a veteran of multiple combat operations and already commanding the 16th Order strike squadron.

By combining veteran personnel with new faces, 34th Brigade has become a model of a successful blend of old and new, past and future. With its sheer size, the Brigade has participated in the research operations of several notable Omicrons, and was baptized in combat a month after its creation, managing to repel a superior Nomad force. Brigade members records and awards were growing, the number of successful missions was increasing, and the scientific staff could compete in their knowledge with many of the sector's geniuses. In 833 A.S., the Brigade was given its new mission, a life-changing one: to travel several hundred light-years beyond the sector and explore other star systems. In fact, Adam and his charges were to accomplish what their unit had been created for. On July 29, 833 A.S., the Brigade's forces advanced into unknown space.

In total, the Brigade managed to map some 44 star systems that were honored by the Order's commanders. The research showed that the worlds outside the sector were unfriendly: the creators of the Nomads had left many traces, but made sure that no one would ever unravel their secrets except their creations. As expected, legitimate dangers awaited humans outside the sector.

The reports leave only an idea of what the Brigade encountered, for the “defense” of such systems was more serious than a simple skirmish with the Nomads. It was a battle of wits and cunning between humans and those long gone from the sector. And the ancient beings had prevailed, as expected, forcing the 34th Brigade to retreat back to the Sirius Sector with high looses. Of the 52 two ships, only two returned home: "Hades" cruiser and a fighter with the "Anubis" callsign. However, the data was preserved and, upon returning home, it was transferred to the Order's research centers. Their contents remain “Top Secret”, and only the most competent members of the Order are familiarized with what the Brigade saw in those places. The surviving members of the Brigade signed all sorts of non-disclosure papers, which implied their silence about the details of that operation.

The brigade's return to service and active duty came in the fall of 834 A.S., when "Hades" left the repair docks for new missions inside the Sirius sector. Using all sorts of connections, Adam Helson made sure that the Brigade was not disbanded and continued to exist. He sent his power to replenish the Brigade to return to the mission of fighting the alien threat within the sector. With the flow of recruits only increasing by the day, Adam, along with the “old school”, look forward to the future, striving to restore their Brigade to its former glory.

RANKS

The ranking system of the Brigade corresponds to the main fleet of the Order and does not deviate from it, to avoid creating barriers during interactions between agents and better communication. This also allows for an understanding of the agent's skills in the event that they wish to join the ranks of Overwatch and better define their place there. Within the Brigade itself, the highest rank is Captain (effectively the Brigade Commander). The issuance of rank to newly arrived agents is based on their previous service in the Order, as well as their service in related organizations and the experience required by the Brigade in its operations.

Ensign

Standardized rank for each newly minted agent. Ensigns take on standardized tasks of escorting, patrolling, and any other non-serious tasks, during which they hone their skills to further advance through the rank system.
  • In the case of infantry units, this rank would be called Auxiliary

Lieutenant

More experienced agents within the Brigade structure, tasked with a wider range of operations both in Omicrons and beyond, within the Sirius sector. The Lieutenants have earned their rank and position through hard work, and Brigade Command can rely on them to perform tasks that require experienced agents who know what they are doing.
  • In the case of scientific staff, this rank would be called Scientist
  • In the case of infantry units, this rank would be called Elder Auxiliary

Commander

Commanders are no longer mere agents of the Brigade, but field commanders with the full range of skills necessary not only to perform tasks, but also to train the Ensigns in the principles of work within the Order's structure. Because of their command skills, they are entrusted with the command of gunboats. They are also authorized to command snubcraft wings.
  • In the case of scientific staff, this rank would be called Senior Scientist
  • In the case of infantry units, this rank would be called Aspirant

Commandant

Commandants are some of the best members of the Brigade, endowed with managerial talents, capable of leading men or replacing the Brigade Commander in the event of his absence. Commanders can take on the role of organizing operations on behalf of the Brigade, developing relationships with affiliated factions, and managing Brigade cells within the Sirius Sector.

Captain

The highest possible attainable rank in the Brigade. In effect, the Captain runs the entire Brigade, sets its agenda (if necessary), prioritizes the Commandants and guides their ambitions.

OORP

All other information can be found in the full database. Our group is an association of individuals interested in RP within the Order in its “classic” form. We have many plans for the foreseeable future, but the unofficial status will allow us to operate in a more flexible manner without being too overburdened as the official status of the faction requires.

If we see fit, the faction will be added to the activity tracker and apply for official status, but until then it's just another of the many Order units looking for interesting RP and PvP. We are also interested in interacting with other groups connected in one way or another with the Order, but these, as mentioned, are plans for the future.
