The Order Snubcraft

07A “Anubis”

Length:----- 20 meters
Wingspan:--- 15 meters
Weight:----- 22 tonnes
Propulsion:- 3x OFD mk1 thrusters
Armament:--- 7 outdated fighter gunpoints
------------ Torpedo mount

---

Information on the “Anubis” is classified to those without clearance level Beta or higher.

Role: Multi purpose, training, drone

PHASED OUT

The first fighter made by Orillion's Corps of Engineers, the Anubis was the first pure Order vessel made following the fall of the Order of Cincinnatus. The first sighting of these was when the Order destroyed the RNC-Donau, assassinating Admiral Schultkzy outside Manhattan in an attempt to protect the President.

Unfortunately, the Order's attempts to continue upgrading the Anubis were outpaced by the introduction of dedicated bomber craft, and the breakthrough in capital shields, forced the Order to finally retire the Anubis frame and start production on newer vessels.

Discontinued, most of the remaining Anubis-class fighters serve as target dummies or training craft. Very few still fly, as a majority were thrown at the Core and Nomads during the Battle of Minor to buy time. Today, the Anubis is all but history for the Order - a testament to desperate ingenuity.

O15A “Nephthys”

Length:----- 20 metres
Wingspan:--- 15 metres
Weight:----- 25 tonnes
Propulsion:- 3x OFD-HEC mk3 thrusters
Armament:--- 7 heavy fighter gunpoints
------------ (4 compatible with prototype weaponry)
------------ Torpedo mount

---

Information on the “Nephthys” is classified to those without clearance level Beta or higher.

Role: Assault, frontline combat craft

Continuously upgrading the Anubis proved to be useless, so the Order turned to the frame itself. Utilizing the Titan powercore gained from the Corsairs, the Order then created the heaviest fighter in Sirius once again - The Nephthys.

Superior to it's predecessor in every way possible, the Nephthys became the mainstay fighter of the Order for years. With a heavy core and armor to take a hit, most Nephthys would tank through most engagements. A safer choice then the experimental Bastet fighter, it was a tried and true vessel that saved many a pilot's life.

TACTICAL
One of the heaviest fighters in Sirius, the Nephthys is a slow turner, but boasts an impressive core and gun amount. For those needing more speed, the Bastet serves better.

O19A “Sekhmet”

Length:----- 22 meters
Wingspan:--- 17 meters
Weight:----- 30 tonnes
Propulsion:- 4x OFD-HEC mk3 thrusters
Armament:--- 5 bomber gunpoints
------------ 2 heavy torpedo mounts

---

Information on the "Sekhmet" is classified to those without clearance level Beta or higher.

Role: Anti-capital

With the advancement in shield technology that armed capital warships with shields, the Order was in need of a dedicated bomber craft. At fist utiziling civilian variants, these proved to be unfit for Omicron operations. Turning to the Corps of Engineers, the Order utilized the Nephthys frame to create the Sekhmet.

An excellent medium bomber, the Sekhmet's superior powercore and armor allow it to survive in the harshness of the Omicrons, giving it the title as one of the best bombers in Sirius. Most Sekhmet wings are equipped with the Order's specialized "Ammit" antimatter cannon, which are used to great effect.

Variants:
O19B - modified bomber for use in stealth operations. Extended fuel tanks and cloak device.

TACTICAL
Recommended to be deployed against capital class assets of Gunboat or higher. Do to armor and powercore, the Sekhmet is one of the best Order snubcraft to equip a cloaking device to.

O40A "Talon"

Length:----- 20 metres
Wingspan:--- 14 metres
Weight:----- 20 tonnes
Propulsion:- Dual modified OFD-HEC mk3 thruster
Armament:--- 6 heavy fighter gunpoints
------------ 6 compatible with prototype weaponry
------------ torpedo mount

---

Information on the “Talon” is classified to those without clearance level Epsilon or higher.

Role: Experimental

PHASED OUT

In pursuit of a better space superiority fighter, the Order commissioned a fighter that would soon be called the "Talon". Despite not fulfilling their wishes, the Talon would become the basis for the "Bastet" fighter. All known prototypes of the Talon were destroyed when Toledo fell.

O42A "Bastet"

Length:----- 20 metres
Wingspan:--- 15 metres
Weight:----- 22 tonnes
Propulsion:- 4x OFD-HEC mk3 thrusters
Armament:--- 6 heavy fighter gunpoints
------------ 6 compatible with prototype weaponry
------------ Torpedo mount

---

Information on the “Bastet” is classified to those without clearance level Epsilon or higher.

Role: Assault, spec ops

PHASED OUT

Continuing further into experimental fighter technology, the Order Corps of Engineers created the first generation Bastet.

Additional engines and a heavily modified power grid allows for weapon setups unseen anywhere in its class. This allows Bastet to use total use of 6 slots for any weapon in the Order's arsenal - this includes prototype cannons (The EXCALIBUR models are best recommended) and special issue energy emitters (In comparison, only 4 out of 7 slots of the Nephthys are compatible). It is most agile heavy fighter the Order has to offer, and regardless of still being branded “prototype fighter”, the Bastet has entered full scale production since its inception.

O50A "Onuris"

Length:----- 17 metres
Wingspan:--- 8 metres
Weight:----- 14 tonnes
Propulsion:- 1x OFD mk4 thruster
Armament:--- 2 heavy fighter gunpoints
------------ 2 light fighter gunpoints
------------ Disruptor

---

Information on the “Onuris” is classified to those without clearance level Beta or higher.

Role: Interceptor

For years the Order was unable to find a suitable interceptor craft. The Scimitar, while stable, wasn't made to fight Nomad Morphs, and the Griffin's wings tended to be shot off easily. The Onuris was the culmination of the Order's Science Division finally addressing this issue.

A few prototypes have existed before the fall of Minor, like the "Seth" attached to the CV-Oathkeeper, but full scale production did not start until shortly before the Battle of Toledo. Losing most of the prototypes to Core Bombardment, the Order managed to salvage the plans and put the Onuris class into full production in 819 A.S as the dedicated interception vessel of the time. It is most widely known for it's use under the 141st Task Force.

O42D "Bastet" Mark II

Length:----- 20 metres
Wingspan:--- 15 metres
Weight:----- 17 tonnes
Propulsion:- 2x OFD mk4 thrusters
Armament:--- 6 heavy fighter gunpoints
------------ 6 compatible with prototype weaponry
------------ Torpedo mount

---

Information on the “Bastet mark II” is classified to those without clearance level Epsilon or higher.

Role: Space superiority

Due to the size of the original Bastet, the Order's Corps of Engineers, in conjunction with the Science Division, went about downsizing the current Bastet. What came forth of a year of work, was the Bastet MKII.

Designated O42D, this fighter incorporates the newest developments in engines to maintain the edge over any hostile fighter in the Omicrons and beyond. This ship, in its short service, has already has replaced the O15A Nephthys as the primary fighter of choice and its numbers are expected to raise further in the coming years.

The Order warships

Hathor-class Gunboat

Length:------ 90 meters
Weight:------ 2.000 tonnes
Propulsion:-- 3x LOF-2 “Argos” fusion engine.
Deployment:-- 1 Month
Complement:-- 5 crewmember
Armament:---- 8 gunboat turrets
------------- Disruptor

---

Information on the “Hathor” is classified to those without clearance level Delta or higher.

With the masses of hostile fighters overwhelming Order fighter wings, the Science Division, thanks to plans shared by the Zoners, created the Hathor. With a heavy powercore and eight guns, the Hathor was highly configurable internally for different uses beyond the normal anti-fighter/anti-bomber. Few are reconfigured as command/control nodes, with a small amount further being used as testbed models for new technology.

The most produced vessel in the Order fleet, the Hathor is the ship where all captains start their career, and where many learn the finer points of capital warfare.

Resheph-class Reconnaissance Cruiser

Length:------ 330 meters
Weight:------ 8.000 tonnes
Propulsion:-- 3x FO1 fusion drive
Deployment:-- Up to 18 months.
Complement:-- 70 crewmember
Armament:---- 5 cruiser turrets
------------- 3 heavy cruiser turrets
------------- disruptor & EMP projector
Carrier cap:- 2 shuttles/light fighters
Equipment:--- Spyglass 2.0, complete electronic warfare suite, 4x ECM

---

Information on the “Resheph” is classified to those without clearance level Theta or higher.

A dedicated reconnaissance cruiser, the Resheph is a marvel of technology. Able to function as an AWACS, Cyberwarfare Base, and a platform for infiltration, the multi-role Resheph cruiser serves in a limited offensive role, instead delegating warfare to the Osiris, Geb, and Hathor. Being dedicated to it's craft, the Resheph is the only capital class asset that has seen prolific use outside of Order space, using it's many tools to coordinate Order operations across the Colonies.

Restricted, clearance level Sigma or higher.

The primary feature of the Resheph is the Order's Spyglass 2.0. Based on the Spyglass Scanner equipped to the defected LNS-Ragnarok, the Order obtained the scanner by trading the Hellfire Legion the Battleship Incursus. With advances in compaction, the Order deemed a cruiser frame could be used to house this scanner. With this, the Reshpeh entered service as the dedicated recon ship,

Designed in 815 A.S. and produced solely by Sicca shipyard, this cruiser entered mass production right from day one o is currently second most numerous vessel in Order fleet, outnumbered only by the smaller Hathor gunboats.

CV-1 Osiris-class Battleship

Length:------ 800 meters
Weight:------ 300.000 tonnes
Propulsion:-- 1x Osiris drive
Deployment:-- Up to 6 years.
Complement:-- 500 crewmember
Armament:---- 6 secondary turrets
------------- 5 primary turrets
------------- 2 artillery turret
Carrier cap:- 50 snubs
Equipment:--- Cloaking device

---

Information on the “Osiris” is classified to those without clearance level Omicron or higher.

The first capital vessel ever to serve the Order, the Osiris-Class battleship is the most versatile vessel in the entire fleet. Called a "pocket battleship" due to it's size, the Osiris possesses impressive firepower on par with a Liberty Dreadnought, and in it's current life of service has already downed a few. Able to use it's size and frame to avoid incoming fire, the Osiris is only used when the heaviest of firepower is needed, or when a mobile base is required.

Restricted, clearance level Sigma or higher.

The original Osiris exists to this day, faithfully serving the primary fleet. The LNS (now OCV) Osiris was taken by Orillion and his men at the dawn of the Nomad war. The stealth capability of the original and its copies is to be never to be taken lightly.

Geb-class Assault Battlecruiser

Length:------ 900 meters
Weight:------ 350.000 tonnes
Propulsion:-- 1x modified Osiris drive
Deployment:-- Up to 5 years.
Complement:-- 800 crewmember
Armament:---- 12 secondary turrets
------------- 4 primary turrets
------------- 2 artillery turrets
Carrier cap:- 100 snubs
Equipment:--- 4 fast launch tubes

---

Information on the “Geb” is classified to those without clearance level Lambda or higher.

The second warship designed solely by the Order, the Geb-class Light Assault Carrier at first was deployed with battlecruiser-class weaponry configurations, which limited it's offensive power for years. Shortly before the Fall of Minor, the Order retooled the powergrid and the weaponry hardpoints and armed each Geb with battleship-class weaponry. Able to bring forth a full frontal barrage that is feared as it is legendary, the Geb's most distinguishing feature remains the four oversized torpedo tubes attached to the front. Connected directly with the fighter bay, the Geb can deploy a small fleet of snubcraft in mere minutes. Order Tacticians theorize that they could be used to fire weaponized kamikaze freighters, but this is untested.

Horus-class Superdreadnought

Length:------ classified
Weight:------ classified
Propulsion:-- classified
Deployment:-- classified
Complement:-- classified
Armament:---- classified
Carrier cap:- classified
Equipment:--- classified

---

Information on the “Horus” is classified to those without clearance level Sigma or higher.

After the First Nomad War and the success of the Osiris as a mobile strike base, the Order High Command of the time found a dilemma in 809 A.S: With the rising tensions among the houses, the Osiris-classes limited internal space for a long-term mission that required more than it's a usual complement, and the lack of space for strike wings on the Resheph, it was decided a breed of warship beyond the scope of the Geb-Class carrier was needed.

The Horus-class was designed to address all of it. Created to counter entire battle groups and serve as the home of The Order in places that everyone else calls hell, the first was secretly built in depths of Order space for over ten years. This warship is undeniably the pinnacle of Sirian engineering, having no known human made equal in service. To many, it is a myth. To some, it is a legend. To the Order, it is the answer to Harbinger.

The Order weaponry

G-line "Death's Hand"

Type:----------- Laser
Refire:--------- 8.33
Range:---------- 600 metres
Lifetime:------- 0.80 seconds
Efficiency:----- Medium
Damage:--------- High
Energy req:----- Medium-High
Designed:------- Toledo, Valley of Kings complex.

Information on the “Death's Hand” is classified to those without clearance level Beta or higher.

Produced By: Akabat - Cairo Arms Factory, Sicca Shipyards

Gun line----------------------------Turret line
G2 mk1 - obsolete-----------------G2t mk1 - obsolete
G5 mk2 - obsolete-----------------G8t mk2 - light turret
G8 mk3 - obsolete-----------------G12t mk3 - heavy turret
G12 mk4 - light standard
G19 mk5 - heavy standard

The G-line of Order lasers started off with the prototype G1, based on blueprints of the R8 "Vengeance" line of Liberty. Just like all Order weapons, the Death Hands improved upon damage output while sacrificing energy consumption.This direction was useable due to the Order's heavier powercores, allowing Order Pilots to use far more energy then their Liberty equivalents.

G2 - marked as the MK1, this was first Order mass-produced laser, developed alongside the Anubis heavy fighter. The MK2 model, improving upon earlier designs, was used extensively on Nomad War era stike craft in Omicron theatre of war.

H-line "Reaper"

Type:----------- Neutron
Refire:--------- 4
Range:---------- 550 metres
Lifetime:------- 0.92 seconds
Efficiency:----- Medium
Damage:--------- High
Energy req:----- High
Designed:------- Toledo, Valley of Kings complex

Information on the “Reaper” is classified to those without clearance level Beta or higher.

Produced By: Akabat - Cairo Arms Factory, Sicca Shipyards

Gun line----------------------------Turret line
H3 mk1 - obsolete-----------------H3t mk1 - obsolete
H6 mk2 - obsolete-----------------H6t mk2 - light turret
H9 mk3 - obsolete-----------------H9t mk3 - heavy turret
H16A mk4 - light standard
H16B mk5 - heavy standard

The second line of weapons developed, the Order decided to look into Neutron cannons. Basing them off Corsair schematics after the MK1s, the Reaper neutron cannons were a powerful weapon that served the Order in the Nomad War, supplementing missile-equipped strike fighters. This gave the Anubis wings more damage output compared to Death's hands, allowing Order pilots with expended ammunition to stay in the fight.

The most recent version, H16, features two versions. Version A was designed to operate on lighter mounts while heavy B variant deployed maximum firepower, compatible with heavy mounts. Future improvements planned include increasing projectile speed.

Anti-armor Cannon "Ammit"

Type:---------- Antimatter
Refire:-------- 0.17
Range:--------- 1220 metres
Lifetime:------ 4.30 seconds
Designed:------ Mora Research Institute

---

Information on the “Ammit” is classified to those without clearance level Beta or higher.

Produced By: Thebes

The brainchild of Order scientists, this cannon is the combined effort of demolitions experts and the Alien Technology Reversal Department on Alexandria. Designed by The Order for the sole purpose of delivering maximum destruction to any surface it touches (and ruining your day), the Ammit is the only choice against targets of gunboat size or larger, and is found solely on Sekhmet bombers. It's unusual technology makes it impossible for any other faction short of Order to construct and maintain these guns.

The study of Nomad technology has advanced Order weaponry, but even so, the Order doesn't allow even their closest allies to utilize such weapons as the Ammit, or vessels such as the Resheph.

X3 Energy cannons

Type:----------- Pure energy
Refire:--------- 4.00 / 3.03
Range:---------- 700 metres
Lifetime:------- 1.17 seconds
Efficiency:----- Very high
Damage:--------- Very high
Energy req:----- Low
Designed:------- Toledo, Valley of Kings complex

---

Information on the “X3 Prototype” is classified to those without clearance level Epsilon or higher.

Produced By: Sicca Shipyard

The X prototypes are hybrid weaponry. Using human made parts, these cannons generate bolts of energy matching the signatures of Nomad weaponry. Tests proved X hybrids to have efficiency to be at par with Order regular weapons, therefore opening a way for issuing these guns to Wedjat squadrons.

For safety reasons, fighters need special extensions to support experimental weaponry in order to utilize these blasters. Total maximum compatible slots for regular fighter are 4 (example: O15A Nephthys) and full set of 6 is achieved only by O42A Bastet and it's highly efficient energy distribution grid.

"Enforcer" family

Type:----------- Tachyon
Refire:--------- 4
Range:---------- 600 metres
Lifetime:------- 0.80 seconds
Efficiency:----- Very high
Damage:--------- Low
Energy req:----- Very low
Designed:------- Detroit munitions

---

Information on the “Enforcer” is classified to those without clearance level Alpha or higher.

Produced By: Akabat - Cairo Arms Factory, Sicca Shipyards

The Enforcer line of tachyon weaponry originated from Ageira's weapon labs. Their effort turned into mass-produced, widely available weapon for both civilian and military markets. The Order engineers were able to successfully reverse engineer mechanism and synchronize it with The Order power cores, giving Order pilots another choice in armament.

Seeing limited deployment, Enforcers remain at current just an alternative to the more destructive weapons already in hands of The Order. Being the most efficient weapons currently at The Order's disposal, though, the unusually low power consumption makes for light strain on ship's reactor.

The Order history

The following text is composed of de-classified information, available to anyone with any basic access to Order database. Clearance level for following document is Alpha.

The Order is a fully independent organization that submits to no authority other than its own chain of command. The Order was created to counter any threat to humanity's survival as a species, be it from alien life forms or from threats created by mankind itself. Unlike each house’s respective navy and intelligence agencies, The Order answers to no one house or any form of government – their defense of humanity goes beyond borders and politics. The Order seeks no need for glory or fanfare, fighting regardless of how others see them, if they are seen at all. The agents seek no recognition - in fact they know they might be lost in pages of history forever or remembered as traitors as they are forced to take human life to save us all.

With the emergence of the Nomads, later revealed to be the Slomon K'Hara, the Order came to the forefront of Sirius events in 800 A.S. when the infection started spreading to Liberty, the Order’s once native house. As battles raged across Sirius, the Order proved to be instrumental in ending the first Nomad War, and preserving the human race in the process. The Houses, despite their vast resources, failed to develope the nessisary tools to protect themselves from the Nomad infection. Through Order intervention and interior powerstruggles within each House, the Nomads were slowly ousted from the colonies. However the threat still lingered and the Order stood as the vanguard to humanity on the edge of Nomad space and in secret surveillance positions throughout the colonies.

Initially, the Houses often claimed that The Order were simple "terrorists", anarchists or an anti-peace organization aiming to destabilize balance of Sirius politics. This originated from the numerous political assassinations of infected members of House militaries and governments during the times leading up to and throughout the Nomad War. Eventually some honest recognition was given to The Order by Liberty Republic itself. Under leadership of President Barbara Jacobi, The Order was pardoned after the Nomad War for their significant contribution to saving not only herself and her House, but all of Sirius.

The Order has always stayed to the shadows, but with the fall of Toledo - one of Order's main staging grounds, many additional security measures were put in place to ensure the safety of the once secure space in the Omicrons that The Order had called home for more than twenty years. What little information The Order allows out is normally through private channels and diplomatic discussions. Currently The Order is in a heated struggle with the Core, a powerhungry PMC which has dedicated itself to removing The Order completely and securing the advanced technology and Nomad research material The Order has acquired over the past decades. The Core is currently spending millions upon millions of credits and thousands of slave labor of prisoners and underpaid pilots to secure technology and information that would only prove to be a danger to themselves and the rest of the colonies. The Order is their primary target and the only line of defense against the Core and its warmongering. Finally Order is opposing the Outcasts, a group of druglords and pirates from the Hispania who have been sheltering several Nomad cults and distributing Cardamine to the colonies without hesitation, a drug closely linked to the hostile aliens.

Order of Cincinnatus

True origins of The Order.
Active:--------- 20-801 A.S.
Allegiance:----- Liberty
Type:----------- Clandestine government
Founder:-------- Great Planners
Headquarters:--- (pressumed) Manhattan
Current status:- Destroyed by The Order.

---

Information on “Order of Cincunatuss” are classified to those without clearance level Psi or higher.

The Order originally was a hidden, top secret insitution formed by Great Planners. In co-operation of first Liberty president Susan Jimenez and highest ranked echelons of Liberty Army, new organisation was formed to defend republic. They have decided that public may never get to know that we are not alone in the universe.

Seing democracy as threat to continuity of Liberty, Order of Cincinnatus primary objective was to act in capacity of absolute dictatorship, hidden from public eye. They were meant to exercise their power in events of state-ending catastrophies, in which founding members have agreed that Republic will be incapable to deal with.

In modern times, The Order is a splinter faction after one of Cincinnatus members - Casper Orillion - discovered Nomad infestation started to take over their ranks. As aliens assumed control of the very institution meant to counter act apocalyptic threats such as this, Orillion decided to defect. The Order of today was in effect born.

As Nomad war came to an end, president Barbara Jacobi permitted The Order to move in and cleanse entire Cincinnatus as they pleased. Under cover provided by Liberty officials, entire organisation has been destroyed with most of their members killed. It is likely that few of them survived the witch hunt and continue to operate within the colonies.

While institution itself is gone and potential remnants of Cincinnatus are just shadow of the former self, it is believed that Liberty-Rheinland war was triggered through influence of the survivors. Any attempt to investigate are near impossible due presidency of anti-Order James Powell. The Order has contingency for assasinating Liberty president but has not commenced any action as not all potential outcomes have been fully explored.

Nomad War

Averting the apocalypse.
Date:--------- 800 A.S.
Location:----- All of Sirius
Result:------- Won by The Order

---

Information on “Nomad War” are classified to those without clearance level Gamma or higher.

Timeline:
Pre 800 AS-- Establishment of The Order, discovery of Nomad threat.
800 AS------- Destruction of Freeport 7 marks beggining of the Nomad War.
--------------- The Order victory over Nomad menace.
--------------- Campaign to remove remnants of Nomad influence from colonies begins.
801 AS------- The Order pardoned in the colonies, Nomad pacification continues.
802 AS------- Orillion's dissapearance, Black Squadron seizes power.
--------------- Nomad threat marginalized.

Nomad War is the conflict that gave The Order a purpose to this day. The founders realized existance and magnitude of threat aliens posed and started forming The Order to combat them. Start of Nomad War is subject of dicussion among historians - allthrough destruction of Freeport 7 is taken by The Order as official beggining of the armed conflict.

War has ended abrubtly, as fast as it has begun. The Order continues to highly classify exact reasons behind end of an extra-ordinary brief for its scale intersteral conflict. Conflict has spread over all colonies with only Bretonia being remarkably intact - but not affected - by events of the war. Rheinland and Kusari were totally devastated, causing massive ammounts of funds being put into rebuilding their respective fleets. The respective rebel factions has taken note of weakened economies, taking more ground than ever.

The Order is credited for assasinating several important figures the group recognized infested. It has eventually culminated in rescue of Liberty president Barbara Jacobi who earned a pardon for The Order immediately after the war. Famous and influential individuals killed were people like Rheinland Chancelor Niemann and governor Tekagi.

Echoes of the war continue to haunt Sirius to this day, forming future of Sirius for perhaps even to centuries to come. While it is all speculations at this point, it would be very likely that Bretonian-Kusari and Liberty-Rheinland wars would never happen should delicate balance of Sirius was not broken by Nomad influence.

Black Squadron

The Order of post-Orillion era.
Active:--------- 800-815 A.S.
Allegiance:----- The Order
Type:----------- Navy
Founder:-------- Johnathan Pryde
Headquarters:--- Lisbon, Omicron 100
Current status:- Evolved into Order Primary Fleet

---

Information on “Black Squadron” are classified to those without clearance level Theta or higher.

Black Squadron initially was a indeed a squadron under command of Johnathan Pryde in Nomad War era. Meant to be hit-squadron on orders of Casper Orillion, group rose in ranks and numbers. By time of Orillion going M.I.A. during a mission in what is now known as Nomad space in 802 A.S., Black Squadron was influential enough to seize power in a vacuum left after sudden dissapearance of Order's first leader.

By gaining command of several warships in early years of alliance with the Corsairs, Black Squadron effectively ceased to be factual squadron - instead being full fledged fleet with its own admirality board. Regardless of sudden elevation into power, Squadron kept to its name for mostly historical reasons. It was easy time for The Order - growing in strenght with re-establishment of Toledo as a military-ruled colony of one million souls at its peak.

Errors of their ways proved to be nearly fatal to The Order in later years after restructurization into Primary Fleet of The Order. Black Squadron was too occupied with developing Toledo and politics in the colonies to effectively counter awakening Nomad threat. This negligence allowed Nomads to grow out of proportions, with The Order no longer capable to crush any and every sign of Nomad activity like in immediate years after Nomad War.

With all of The Order infrastructure located on Toledo, single and sufficiently powerful assault would eradicate major share of our firepower projection - proved by destruction of Toledo betweeen 818 and 819 A.S., delivered by Core Guild and Nomads.

A warning to all Order high ranked officers.
Height:--------- redacted
Date of birth:-- redacted
Place of birth:- redacted
Nationality:---- redacted
Order ID:------- redacted
Current status:- DECEASED

---

Information on “Malacos” are classified to those without clearance level Omicron or higher.

Sius Malacos was sixth Order leader in line. He was among the people that reformed original Black Squadron admirality board into Order High Command, Malacos turned out to be controvensial figure in Order history nevertheless.

Believing Nomad threat is no more, Malacos and The Order under his command grew complacent and decadent, over time twisting purpose of The Order under assumption that all threats of his time were put under absolute control. Dropping their guard, Malacos pursued questionable diplomatic avenues and dubious strategical decisions. Crime, corruption and piracy ran rampart among the ranks, all being permitted by the freshly organised High Command. It would have been the end or worse - transforming into group more kin to Core of today - if it was not put to the end.

Malacos underestimated the Nomads. Ironically it was greatest extra-terrestial threat to existance of our species to push for change which proved to be final, yet sufficient wake up call for The Order. Malacos willfuly entered a pact with Nomads and in the end becoming the one we fight against. Infested Sius was one of the most grim episodes of The Order but we have prevailed as Malacos fell dead on hands of Order Inquisition. Since then records of traitor admiral have been removed - yet notion of his existance and this warning were preserved for future generations.

Information on “Order Primary Fleet” are classified to those without clearance level Theta or higher.

As last leader of Black Squadron - Admiral McKinley resigned, group of high ranked officers begun reforms to what would create an Order High Command. Newly created Order Primary Fleet has been organised into three Great Divisions: Combat fleet, Wedjat Intelligence and Order Science Division. In simmilar form, Primary continues to this day.

Greatest challenge appeared with sudden collapse of chain of command - created by new leaderships taking over in quick succession after the another. None of them was capable to create a long term strategy for The Order as a whole or resigned before being able to introduce their plan into life. High Command lost in total two Grand Admirals, making things no better for future of organisation.

It is time when Corsair-Order alliance was starting to crumble due to ideological differences and different strategic priorities set by Command. In year 818 A.S., Corsair aggregators - lead by Elder Shepardi - turned relations between the two groups to state of near war. The Brotherhood - Shepardi's faction became increasingly unpopular within the ranks and Black Sails went into outright armed conflict.

Another conflict appeared, instantly shifting SCRA's allied status into war as traitorous premier Alvin Katz backstabbed The Order forces. A truce has been arranged but relations remained tense and cold war-like. In these times, The Order has met its second most notable enemy: Guild Core who emerged in 816 A.S. and continues to be gravest most hostile - human - threat to species survival.

Slowly loosing ground to the Core and resurfacing Nomad threat, The Order's was unable to form unified long-term leadership to face the challenge. It was so until young Wedjat officer by name Michal Golanski rose to power and assumed rank of Grand Admiral. Even then, it was too late to change outcome of second Toledo battle.

Information on “The Fleets” are classified to those without clearance level Epsilon or higher.

The Order fleets are result of reforms that marked transit from Black Squadron into current Order Primary Fleet - marking birth of Order High Command. Originally one of the three divisions, decisive majority of combat capable pilots, officers and space craft were at full disposal of this division. There are currently two main fleets: East-theatre "Wargods" and West-theatre "Albion". Current range of responsibilities covered by Fleet Commands are as follows

Combat assets

All Order military installations, frontline warships and their respective garrisons of Order strike craft fall under this cathegory.

Well established "Wargods" fleet was named due to Omicron's eternal state of war. Given The Order participation in these conflicts - this fleet's main purpose is to combat Guild Core and supress Nomad activity in the very heart of their territory. Its secondary task is protecting The Order's territory and its allies.

Newer "Albion" fleet is much smaller, named after oldest known recorded name for Kingdom of Bretonia reaching back to ancient Earth. Distribution of the fleet was neccesary to avoid "second Toledo" and to open up second front and base of operations on other end of Sirius.

Marines

All foot soldiers, irrevelant whether space-borne or on ground of the planets count into this subsection. Their primary task is to board and defend their respective ships or stations and to participate in eventual invasions - defense and offense alike. Link between marines and other assets of The Order is simple: absolute command authority over soldier's command lays in hands of ships or bases Commanding Officer.

Logistics & Engineering

Recent newcommer from third - now resolved division - represents entire industrial might of The Order. Roles differ - supply transport pilots, shipyard workers, base construction engineers are all part of Logistic corps. They are mostly non-militarized, relying on Combat assets to protect them in areas their service is needed.

Information on “Wedjat” are classified to those without clearance level Epsilon or higher.

Wedjat is an evolution of its defunct precedessor: Udjat division dating back to 800 A.S. by Admiral "X". In its current form, Wedjat is formal Intelligence branch of The Order, reformed to fit into cadres of Order High Command. Given more sensitive nature of this organisation, any and all operational data is highly classified beyond ussual regulations. Wedjat these days composes of:

Division 1 - Research and Development

As Third Division of The Order proved to be inneficient in leadership, formation was resolved and distributed among other ranks. R&D was introduced to Wedjat, broadening their horizons by adding responsibility of developing new technology for needs of the whole The Order.

Division 2 - Electronic Warfare and Signals, Intel analysis

All hackers and officers responsible for analysis of intelligence gathered by any means are assigned to Division 2. Its responsibilities is to process information gathered by other Order units, protect The Order from cyber-warfare and conduct simmilar attacks upon needed targets.

Division 3 - Special Operations Command

Nominal command over highly classified operations and black ops. All strike capability of Wedjat is concetrated directly under Division 3 authority. SOC's primary objective is to provide timely and accurate intel through network of spies and executing sensitive missions in co-operation with The Fleets and other Wedjat divisions.

Division 4 - Counter Intelligence & Regulation enforcment

Defensive formation within the Wedjat, Division 4's primary objective is to fulfil role of internal law enforcment in minor cases not requiring attention of High Command or their representatives. Their other primary target is actively seeking and eliminating any foreign agents and infiltrators in The Order's ranks.

The Order diplomacy

Following classification is official code of conduct for The Order operatives in the field, meant to familiarize them with our various standings with many different groups in our direct neighbourhood and far ends of Sirius alike. Anyone with clearance level Epsilon is permitted to access following entry fully.

Allied

This grade is reserved for factions closely related to The Order - such as ones possesing permissions to move and trade within our space. They are to be treated with respect and be rendered assistance, protect them as you would protect your fellow wingman. Share your resources in times of tragedy.

• Blood Dragons
  
• (\^/) - Phoenix Zoners
  
• Zoners in general
  

Friendly

Usually groups that due to neccesities were brought into favourable diplomatic relations with The Order.

These factions tend to be our focus in their respective region due to common agenda.

• Bundschuh
  
• Colonial Republic
  
• Gallic Council
  

Co-operative

Entities that proved useful for The Order and remain succesfully on right side of our diplomacy are called co-operative. Aggresive actions are not permitted to varrant peaceful exchange of information or keep our docking permissions valid.

• Lane Hackers
  
• Unione Corse
  
• Xenos
  
• Mollys
  
• Red Hessians
  
• GMG
  

Neutral

Right center of this scale is reserved for certain factions for several reasons. Those might include but not be limited to: sustaining neutral status quo, insufficient intel or should one pose no threat and/or interest to our organisation. As at time we might not know yet about their hidden agenda - including hostility towards The Order, it is advised to keep your weapons ready just in case.

• Everyone else
  

Trouble-makers

There happen to be groups scattered across the Sirius that while not being on The Order's list of particulary interesting groups - might prove difficult to deal with or pose unweary attitude. Keep your weapons ready.

• Liberty Rogues
  
• Unioners
  
• Gallic Brigands
  
• Gaians

• Sirius Coalition Revolutionary Army
  
• House police departments and naval groups
  
• Any foreign intelligence agencies
  
• Hogosha crime sindicate
  

War

As we are expected to protect humanity from any threat: internal or external, we are given sometimes no options but to declare war upon a faction. Whoever is unlucky enough to find themselves in such a state is a valid primary target for any Order operative across Sirius.

• Outcasts - known also as "Maltese Commonwealth"
  

Bloody war

Those whose very existance is a grave insult to humanity. Those who we cannot - in clear conscience - allow to exist in this universe. Kill with no mercy as likely you are not going to experience any. Make them all extinct with tools available to you.

Nomads: Synopsis

Species by name Slomon K'Hara or commonly named the Nomads are an alien race acknowledged by The Order as the greatest external threat to continuity of the human race as we know it. They are unnusual life forms: bound to the void of space, built to live and survive with ease in zero-G environment. Thus far, Nomads are poorly adapted for planet-bound existence unlike our human bodies which are unable to function properly without such amenities on the long term.

Typical form of the Nomad is self-propelled organic starship, consisting of Nomad-specific organs and equivalent of neural system. Being transparent and blue in appearance, their "ships" feature big tentacles housing their offensive mechanisms. Their food is essentially the power itself - harnessed from various sources such as power of the nearest star itself or heat generated through chemical reactions in more complex nebulaes.

Public appearance.

Extra-terrestrial life is nothing new to the Sirians, with several examples of alien flora and fauna featured on the very planets our sleeper ships made landfall on. As we have ventured forth,claiming new stars as our own, we have stumbled across many unique lifeforms. Alien microorganisms evolved and continue to thrive on the entire length of the Edge and Crow nebulae.

As proof of the Nomad threat has been revealed to the public, the houses were burdened with explaining nature of these beings. Nowadays, public opinion has been manipulated to view the Nomads as nothing more than an oddity of the edge worlds – a distant cousin of common lifeforms found in the Omicrons - with intelligence no higher than that of a regular animal. Stripped of their sentience, these aliens were incapable to challenge the house navies while relying solely on their animal instincts.

The reality.

Years of study and contact with the Nomads have confirmed what both high echelons within the houses and those responsible for creation of The Order already knew: the Slomon K'Hara as a species are highly intelligent and sentient. As a species, Nomads eliminated natural instincts - their sole decision making relies on two primary elements: cold blooded calculation and past collective experience.

A threat.

Initial conflict came out of the apparent self-entitlement of the Nomads to the territory inhabited by man for centuries. Their intention is to reduce the human race to ash in order to free the territory they claim as their own. Why they have not arrived before humanity itself or as we established our new homes is currently unknown allthrough most likely theory involves entire Nomad population hibernating in edge of explored space, until awakened.

The natural consequences are that our species will not yield what is rightfully ours while Nomads are bent to accomplish their genocidal agenda no matter the toll. The Order serves as the only beacon of hope for all Sirians with no division of borders, a front line in a war to preserve our species.
