The Division 9 was created in 789 A.S to explore unknown systems for Humanity, particularly systems code-named “The Omicrons”. The secondary goal of the Division was to defend the Alaska system and the scientists which were researching Artifacts from the Omicrons and any non-LSF or Navy personal. The founder’s name of 9th is still unknown as they are using call signs only. In the early 790’s, the division explored a large amount of previously unknown systems, almost all of which were deserted, however this gave the 9th an idea. It was decided to build new home in the Omicrons, as the routes were known only to them and several other LSF Agents. Unfortuntately they didn't know how dangerous the Omicrons could be, or what was living there.
Division 9 wanted to make an expedition into the Omicrons in order to find a suitable place for their new base they were planning on constructing. They wanted to establish their installation in the Omicrons because the Omicrons gave Division 9 a foothold and a staging ground for their expeditions. Not only did they have a staging ground, but Agents would feel much more relaxed because they have their own base to operate from, rather than traveling to and from Liberty Systems and braving a dangerous route. But the Liberty Government had disliked their idea about the Installation for some time so they decided to abandon Division 9 and all government funding was cut. In 796, Division 9 prepared a few armoured transports with materials, construction platforms and departed from Liberty to Omicrons.
In one system that was deserted by all appearances, Division 9 found nice location for their installation; they planned to build it under an asteroid ring. However the area was dangerous dye to high levels of radiation all around the ring and an cold world was also close by.
Representatives from Division 9 attempted to travel down the planet to conduct a survey for resources and materials the construction of their new home-base. Often, they would reach the surface of the planet and find nothing at all. The planet was completely uninhabitable to human life and they were about to cancel all their operations until they stumbled across Iron and Titanium deposits which they used to produce the basic materials to build their new base. The Division spent two years in their attempt to finish the station, but when they did, they named it “Vancouver Research Complex”. It was also given the codename "Omicron X-10", after the systems that it was constructed in.

In the 800 A.S, The Liberty Government prepared its new project. Similar to “Vancouver”, Division 18 was moved to the system Omicron X-12, where they built a similar research complex named “Altair”. Any Civilian or low ranking personnel in the Navy had no idea of this base because it was classified. Only a few of the High ranking personnel in the Liberty Navy knew about the base. After they successful built the facility a small Nomad Patrol stumbled across the base and reported its location. The Nomads saw an opportunity to use both Division 18 and 9 by infecting them in order to infiltrate the Liberty Government, exactly as they did with some high-ranking officials within the Rheinland Government.
At this time, Nomads were only known by the Corsairs and the Outcasts, so both the divisions stood very little chance of fighting back the Nomad threat. Agents on-board both stations had very little time to prepare for a defense against the nomads due to the fact that little was known about who or what they were. Both Vancouver and Altair stations were attacked by the nomads who masterfully used the element of surprise to their advantage, the Nomads quickly overran both stations. Some of the researchers on board the stations caught on to what was happening, so they used several of the escape pods to evacuate the stations. Some of the lucky researchers that escaped quietly regrouped with Orillion and stole the new prototype battleship called the "Osiris” right out of it's shipyard. After recent events, they lately called themselves "The Order" and started acting against both Nomads and infected forces that they could find.
In Alaska, the Nomad-infested Chancellor of Rheinland sought to infect the Liberty President, Jacobi. They knew that the Order had taken the experimental Osiris Class Battleship and had moved to Alaska. Division 9 was then called to defend the Rheinland Chancellor against the Order's attack. First of all, they had to find a solution to stop the "Osiris" from getting through unnoticed. With their knowledge of the capacities of the technologies that went into the "Osiris", Division 9 quickly developed a satellite that could detect cloaked ships in a small radius. Unfortunately, the Order was tipped off by an unlawful organization, known as the Liberty Rogues. The Rogues gave the Order intelligence on the new satellite so the Order could act to counter it.
Both Freelancer Edison Trent and ex-LSF Commander Jun’ko Zane were sent out to engage and destroy the satellite. At their disposal they had a few ex-Navy servicemen and together they destroyed the satellite. Once the Satellite was destroyed, Trent, Juni and the rest of the force entered the Zone 21’s minefield, however they were met by Division 9's own forces. A battle broke out in Alaska where both sides were fighting to gain the upper hand within the Alaska system. After hours of fighting went by the Order finally managed to gain the upper hand in the fight and took control of the Alaska Gate, managing to bring in the "Osiris" to help rout out both Divisions as well as the Nomads. Division 9 was forced to pull out, but shortly they returned and tried to retake the Alaska gate, however to no avail. A majority of Division 9 was wiped out in the ensuing fight which allowed the Order to escape with the President without her being harmed. Division 9 had taken serious hits to their forces with most of their pilots were taken out during the battle. After the LNS-Omaha was destroyed and Osiris cloaked away with the president while the rest of Division 9 headed back to Alaska after chasing down the Osiris.

Witness of the Zone 21’s battle said that Division 9 was equipped with specific, inhuman weapons. However the Liberty Government closed their eyes to this and reported that it was nothing more than rumours. This is when the Government of Liberty finally decided to disband Division 9 and Vancouver was abandoned.

801 A.S.
Division 9 survivors who survived the battle at Zone 21 were quietly merged into ether the Liberty Security Force or the Navy. All of whom continued to remain undercover with all traces and names were destroyed. Only few politicians and high ranking Navy Personnel knew about ex-members of the Division Nine. All information about Vancouver and Altair was lost and old members of the Division returned to Omicron X-10, only to find that some parts of Vancouver flying around the asteroid ring, All information about Altair and Division 18 was presumed lost, however Division 9 knew about them and they knew that Division 18 was still around.
820-821 A.S.
For 20 years the former members of Division 9 with the addition of several infected Order personnel worked undercover with the Division 18. Recently the Order moved their operations close to Liberty, this threatened both Division 9 and 18, as they want to preserve their anonymity. Over time the Rheinland front became quiet and war was looking likely between Liberty and Kusari. The ex-member of Division 9 known as “Red Rose” took the leadership of both the infected Order agents and the Division's survivors. Together they restored Division 9 and with their resurrection they planned to provoke the war between the Houses of Liberty and Kusari.
The Order
During the Nomad War many Order agents became infected and tried to destroy The Order from the within. It was essential that the Nomads found other ways to hit the Order, hard, because the Nomads were facing a strong and powerful enemy who had a lot of assets and whom knew the Nomads quite well. If the Nomads could hinder the Order, then the Nomads could gain the advantage and possibly win the war.
After the Nomad War, Infected Order forces tried to keep a low profile because the Order knew exactly who they were. With all the intelligence the Order managed to gain they started to track down and eradicate the remaining infected Order agents. When the Order started their work, they struck hard, giving no mercy towards the infected forces, no matter how much they begged. Over a short period of time, they quickly hunted down the Agents until they were all almost terminated. Over the next few weeks the Omicrons became packed with the hunting Order agents. This made it extremely hard for the Infected personnel of the Order to escape the Omicrons. After desperate attempts at trying to leave the Omicrons, somehow they managed to escape back to Alaska. Once the Order Agents arrived in Alaska, Division 9 personnel helped them to hide because that they are infected units of The Order. With time the Order agents were slowly merged into Division 9, sharing Intel and trying to gain the upper hand. The Order Agents were a huge asset to the Division. They shared Intel on the Orders Tactics, ships and future plans. This helped to boost the strength of Division 9. The Order Agents retained their old ships but now, with thanks to the LSF agents in Division 9, they were now upgraded with the latest Nomad-Human Hybrid technology. With these recent upgrades they were sent back out into the Omicrons, flying covertly and gathering more information on the Order.
The Liberty Government was unaware that Division 9 and several politicians were infected. These individuals sponsored Division 9 and aided them with Government Funding and backing. Division 9 personnel have been spread out around the Liberty core and border systems. It has been reported that Division 9 Personnel have been seen traveling around in the Kusari and Liberty Border Systems, endangering Civilian lives in order to make a profit for themselves. Often these agents would pirate traders and bring back the materials they have taken off them back to their hideouts, so they can prepare for projects that they are working on away from the eyes of the Liberty Government. Not many people know what has really happened to Division 9, however those who do know are attempting their best to get them eradicated. They still believe that the Division is under Nomad Control and that they have proof to get rid of them, proof which was forwarded to the Liberty government. However no matter what proof was brought forth Politicians that have been infected previously intercepted the materials and files passed along which caused the charges to quickly be dismissed.
These days Agents from the Division attempt to keep a low profile because they do not want to ruin their cover. Their covert nature is important to their survival; they are not seen in large groups, but rather by themselves or in pairs on small patrols. After a while civilians soon started to encounter the Division, with each encounter people started to realize that these weren't your normal LSF Agents. Their lack of emotion and their modified ships started to stand out more and more with each encounter. Eventually the Division's secret was soon to be revealed. They could not keep it secret for long.
The "Wyoming", an old Liberty Assault Battle-cruiser, was often used for defence of Virginia. However, if it was required, the Battle-cruiser was used to defend planet Houston from the invading Rheinland forces. In 820 A.S it was attacked by several Rheinland Bombers, causing her to be severely damaged. The Virginia Guard Officers decided to recall the Wyoming to Juneau Shipyard, in Alaska, in order for repairs to be conducted. After the "Wyoming" was fully restored the engineers decided to upgrade it with new universal Scanners as well as new armour plating to try and prevent such massive damage from happening again. After all the modifications were finished the Virginia Guard Officers disowned the Wyoming due to a better replacement being found. For a few months the Battle-cruiser was used to defend Zone 21 from attacks until Division 9 returned to their duties. Once Red Rose and the rest of Division 9 returned she requested to take command of the "Wyoming". After permission was granted she turned it into the Division's flagship.
The Ottawa
The "Ottawa" is a Liberty Siege Cruiser Deployed in 795 A.S, before the Division’s expedition to Omicrons, It was designed to aid in the defense of the Alaska gate. In the early 800’s, The "Ottawa", along with several other Navy Capital Vessels, were sent out to prevent Trent and Juni from destroying the Satellite that was designed to reveal the cloaked "Osiris". By the time the Capital fleet reached Zone 21 both Trent and Juni managed to destroy the Satellite and kill the infected Rheinland Chancellor. The Capital fleet realized that they were too late and started to mount a blockade upon the New York gate from the Alaska side in order to prevent Trent and Juni’s escape. As the Fleet was setting up their blockade, Captain Walker and his cruiser wing started to attack the Blockade in an effort to break through. All the vessels blocking the gate received severe damage while the "Ottawa" fared the best. It’s hull was still in one piece, but holes were scattered everywhere and every crew member, including the Ottawa's captain died. After Division 9 was given the order to disband, the "Ottawa" was towed back to Juneau Shipyard for repairs. The engineers and mechanics at the shipyard managed to restore the ship and it was sent back out into active service. When Division 9 secretly reformed, they took the "Ottawa" into their own hands.
In order to make the Division seem less suspicious, the infected division decided to keep the old ranking structure when in public. This was to make the Division look more like the Liberty Security Force Division that it was trying to represent. Internally, the ranks do not matter. There is one senior infectee who has been heard to organise strikes and assassinations against other officers.
Colonel: The Colonel of the Division was put in charge of overseeing the Division. He, or she, has overall command of the Division and he or she has to make sure that everything that is planned, is followed though without any hiccups. He still has the same role, even with the recent infections. Maximum of One (1).
Captain: The Captain was chosen by the Colonel to act as the 2nd (and/or 3rd) in command of the Division. He or she assists in the planning of projects and is in charge of new Nomad-Human Hybrid technology development. He or she also gets personal assignments from the Colonel to fulfil with precision. If there is more than one Captain, the role of overseeing Nomad-Human Hybrid technology Development goes to the most senior Captain. Maximum of Two (2)
Veteran Agent: These are the more senior personnel in the Division. Often, out on patrol, they would take command and guide the pilots to safety and/or to their target. They would have to be able to make decisions on the spot when the situation goes paired shaped.
Agents: These Agents once filled up most of the Division. This is your basic rank that is assigned to wings and escort patrols. They do all the dirty work and they are the ones that are usually in the dark with information. They get told information on a “Need to know” Basis.
Agents in Training (AiT): These agents were once new agents in the Division, before the infestation of Division 9. They would go through basic and specialized training to train them to live in the harsh environments of the Omicrons. Newly infected agents whom are joining the Division are also given this rank in order to train them for staying covert and dealing with situations that are abnormal. They must go out with an Agent or above, they can't leave without supervision.

Nomads, Wilde and Iseijin: These have given us a new life, a new way of living, a new view on our surroundings. They are your allies, treat them with respect. If you are alone, help them out when you can as they have done you many favors. When you are in the eyes of the public, keep your distance and pretend to ignore them. Don't show any signs of friendliness until you're alone. We do not want to break our cover, not yet. If you encounter them and they are under fire, vacate the scene. Do not engage at all costs, but do not show that you are deliberately ignoring them.
Bounty Hunters & The Order: These people will not think twice in hunting you down. They are our arch enemies. Once they finally find out who we really are, they'll be after us. They'll let everyone know who we truly are. Keep your distance, stay away from them. Do not risk your cover, not for anything. If things are getting out of hand, escape before it's to late.
Outcasts: These humans are on neutral terms with the Nomads, and thus we treat them carefully. Fight them in self defense or if they are seriously annoying you. Do not go out of your way to actively hunt then, leave them as the last targets. Keep a watchful eye on them though, they are crafty Humans.
Liberty House Law Enforcements: These are the Humans that you have been freed from. They have betrayed you and the Human race. Stay cautious as we do not want to brake out cover. Do not engage them, but look like you are helping them against their foes. Keep your identities sealed, do not break your cover.
Rheinland House Law Enforcements: These Humans are at war with the house of Liberty. Let them do their job, let them attack and destroy the Liberty House. Engage in self defence, or if you really have to. If there are to many, run but do not make it look as though you are trying to run and avoid the fight.
Kusari House Law Enforcements: These young minds have no idea on what we can do. As far as they're aware, we're normal LSF agents. Trash talk them, encourage a fight but do not attack them first. Venture into Kusai space, antagonize them and cause Kusari to go to war with Liberty.
The Hellfire Legion: We are working our reputation up with this group. Do not shoot them, aid them when against Liberty Forces. Help them when they require help as they too will help us. Abuse the trust. Do not let your guard down or reveal who you really are to them at all costs. Use it as a safeguard. We are one step closer to our goal.
Everyone Else: Treat them with a hostile and weary eye. Don't trust anyone or help anyone. Be very cautious when moving about because you don't know what could happen. Stay vigilant, stay wise. Don't let them catch you of guard.
Alaska has got great connections with the Omicrons. The connection to Omicron Minor gave the Division great access to the rest of the Omicrons. As the all military secrets were hidden in Alaska and thus, the defence of Zone 21 and Alaska was required from any who didn’t have access. All the top, classified research stations were kept in Alaska and Ellesmere. New Libertonian Technology were made in both of these systems. Ellesmere is deserted system, far away from civilization. This made it one of the best places to perform top secret research because it was out of the way from preying eyes. The flagship of Division 9, the Wyoming and the Ottawa are both parked in Ellesmere.
Primary Zone of Influence: Omicrons, Core of Liberty.
The Omicrons are deserted systems where the Nomads like to lie. Omicrons became home for a lot of nomadic groups and the huge Nomad influence in the Omicrons, the Division was forced to keep a very close eye on all passing traffic, not that there was much. Any traffic that came through was often Order agents and they were chased back into the Omicrons. With the recent infection of Division 9, they needed to keep a very close eye on anything that was happening in Liberty. Small trading vessels are intercepted in the Core systems and are looted to provide materials for the Divisions projects. It was also imperative to keep an eye on the growing threat of the Navy.
Secondary Zone of Influence: Liberty Border, Independent World, Guard systems.
Two of the 4 Liberty Borders are at war. Magellan, Cortez, California. All at threat by a Gallic Invasion. Hudson, Bering, Texas. All are at threat to invasion by Rheinland. Stakes with Kusari are not great. These systems are used to cause more problems to the current wars. Division 9 agents would pose as LSF Officers and cause mayhem in these systems.
Special Zone of Operation: Kusari Border Systems, Rheinland Border Systems
The Division enters these systems to try and attempt to provoke war and/or make situations much worse than they already are. Rheinland and Kusari are both on good terms with each other and if they was to team up on Liberty, they could potentially defeat Liberty together.
It’s important to the Division to stay in contact with the Nomads and thus they had to stay close to the Nomads for when it was needed. Division 9, just as Division 18, were planning to make new type of weapon and thus they needed constant contact with them.
In these systems lie the Divisions Main enemies. These systems have been declared as hostile and all agents are advised to stay clear of them. Order Agents will hunt the Division down as they do not like intruders.
• To reclaim the Valhalla Project & Artifact • To ruin relationships with Kusari and Liberty • To gather as much information as possible about the Liberty Lawfuls
After Division 9 took root in Unknown for Humanity system placed somewhere in Independent worlds, Division 9 agents tried to kept stay conspirated. Some of them acts aggressively, some not. There are lot of victims and witness that blames Division 9. Red Rose tried to do their best to keep the Division in her hands and not let it crash to pieces again, as it was in 800 A.S. during the Nomad War. Red Rose created new project, named: “Black Division” - a group of best agents of the Division 9 that keeps watching for Sirius and not letting Division 9 totally get blind; Black Division - Red Rose’s eyes, that are letting her see all and everything.
Black Division doesn’t act so aggressive as the other Nines. Mostly Black ones are hiding as much they can and never let to know about themselves. No one, except Red Rose and Black ones, don’t know who leads the Black Division. Red Rose ordered to keep it in secret even for other agents of Division 9.
Under normal circumstances, the mere existence of an organization division such as the Black Division wouldn’t be necessary. Although the Division Nine has been a gathering of agents who have slowly begun to experiment with other methods of getting their way in Sirius space. The belief that things can be accomplished more efficiently working behind the scenes, rather than attempting to do things through force. Their main body of agents being recognizable by both certain groups who have had a few encounters with them before, as well as through conventional scanning methods. The Black Division was formed with full intents to avoid both issues. By not bringing attention to yourselves, you never were subjected to any scanning processes by the Order. By keeping your name hidden, there was no way to trace you back to who you really are.
Thus begins a different zone and operations usually not taken by groups such as the Division Nine, at least to the scale that is being attempted in this new sub-division. Secrecy of course, is one of the prime goals. Any operation depends on the ability to keep low, and under the radar.
Agents are task with various goals. Usually very generalized commands from the unknown leader of this subdivision. Specifics are almost always left out, as the goal is to gather information in a wide-scope, rather than targeting specific entities. One may be pointed towards a specific faction, and fall off the map for a few months. Only to return back to the surface later with a report, of becoming affiliated with a close enough relationship to extract any information which may be required to make operations easier for the Division Nine as a whole.
