Sol 4,000: A Character Driven Political RP in the Far Future

[The Temple of the Computer]

Who would be the richest person in the empire currently?

[Khasinkonia]

Is my characterisation of Maximilian V alright? It is from his wife's perspective, but glaring issues would still be glaring issues.

Hey, Cass, do you want to create some history between our characters? Or at least, an existing bond? I think it would be really interesting for Corinthius to be some kind of adviser to her, to kind of take pity on her a bit for what she is going through. He is more of a socialite and a scientist, but he's at least someone with good sense.

Edit: I also changed a certain something in my first post; it now refers to something in Deep Vault 4. I hope y'all didn't read my post yet or that's going to be a bit spoiled

If you have anything specific, I’m happy to hear it. But I do think an existing bond is definitely a given. Also, I feel like the Outer Planets, especially Jupiter and Saturn and Uranus and Neptune respectively, would have similar senses of regionalist fraternity, albeit maybe a more dynamic one like the Scandinavians have.

Small question:
What kind of weapons is the Terran Empire using?

---

Base of Power: Fallen Sun Industries, a wealthy mining and shipbuilding company based on the planet Tacurn in the Epsilon Eridani system. The FSI was founded 500 years ago by Eelco Niesink, a noble bastard of House Zijlstra. That if Eelco is to be believed, he was cheated out of his father's holdings when his half-brother Jurrien changed his father's will that would have both legitimized Eelco and have been the heir of the House. Unable to prove this and stake his claim. Eelco used what funds and contacts he had and founded a small mining company on the frontier. Initially meant to give him funds to finds ways to retake his title and lands. It was only under Eelco's son Magnus did the company grow out of being a small-time mining company and into what it is today. With FSI branching into shipbuilding about 150 years ago, and has been known to make military starships. Along with having its own security force to protect its assets from pirates and possibly now aliens. Since the company has assets in several systems, including those on the frontier.

Being the leader of Fallen Sun Industries gives Theun significant influence and wealth at his disposal, with the threat of aliens at the frontier endangering his assets there and concerned about what will happen if the aliens break through the frontier. Theun is considering gifting the emperor's bastard son Jonathan of Olympus Mons ships in order to strengthen his fleet as he is the only one that seems to care about the aliens. Meanwhile, Theun plans how to reclaim what his family was denied all those centuries ago.

Goals: Join the nobility as a major noble, take control of House Zijlstra's lands, safeguard company assets on the frontier from the alien menace, find a solution for dealing with the aliens.

Do you require any weapons of war to achieve your goals?

[Kassaran]

If he does, I'm sure the local stars will be more than happy to assist his character for the correct price.

[The Twelve Isles]

Would the people of Lacaille 9352 know of of the battle in UV Ceti, or is the arrival of the Bastard Of Mars and his flotilla going to be a complete surprise to them?

I'm mostly trying to figure out if I should have the people of House Pallaleus only react to the arrival of the Uchiumi Clan or if they should also be preparing for the inevitable arrival of a newly minted war hero.

You would know of the battle. If you want, you could have requested the Imperial Navy to send a fleet to help bolster the defenses of your system. High Command said sure, the dudes who just killed aliens are coming.

Small question:
What kind of weapons is the Terran Empire using?

I am pretty sure I answered this before, but the Empire uses mostly rail weapons and some use of directed energy in the form of prow mounted weapons.

Name:Jack Tobias
Age:112
Place of Birth:Somewhere moon in Alpha Centuari (will figure out which moon later._
Appearance:Jack Tobias is an old man, with a height of 6'4, and a 'noble' look on his face. He wears a grey-hair whig after he went bald, he has green eyes, and has two military uniforms, one of which the 'standard' military officer uniform with rank Insignia on it, and his other military uniform covered in medals which he uses to go to formal meetings.
OccupationGrand Marshal (His personal title for CEO.) of The Alpha Centauri Military Corporation for Peace and Prosperity, or simply the A.C.M.C.P.P

---

Base of Power:The Alpha Centauri Military Corporation for Peace and Prosperity
The Alpha Centauri Military Corporation for Peace and Prosperity or A.C.M.C.P.P was founded by Jack Tobias, a former imperial military general who sought to form a new corporation to make better and new weapons for the military, and it turned out that the military needed a LOT of weapons, guns, tanks, space-ships, ammo for guns, etc, also he 'expanded' his services to make M.R.Es for the military and to sell weapons to wealthy nobles.

IMPORTANT STUFF WITHIN A.C.M.C.P.P:
A.C.M.C.P.P Security forces: A.C.M.C.P.P Security forces also known as A.C.M.C.P.P.S.F are changed with protecting assets of A.C.M.C.P.P, they are split into 'ground' and 'fleet' parts. the 'Ground' part is where most Security Forces are, tasked with protecting the factories on the ground, they are usually some of the most heavier equipment is. The 'Fleet' Part of A.C.M.C.P.P.S.F was tasked with the protection of the shipyards and 'important space ship assets.'

Union of Prosperity: The Union of Prosperity or U.P was founded by Jack Tobias after a certain strike had ended with 20 dead, and it is OFFICIALLY supposed to make sure that the average worker's voice is heard. Unofficially its goal from day one was to make sure that the workers don't go on strike again. It is a weak and ineffective organization with the only reason it even exists is to make sure that the illusion of the worker's voice does not disappear.

A.C.M.C.P.P Civilian Division: The Civilian Division exists solely to sell weapons to local noble militaries/paramilitaries instead of actually selling weapons to average civilians.
Goals: Primary goals: Keep the A.C.M.C.P.P Alive and Profitable.
Secondary goal: Make/keep the imperial military a powerful political force.

I was pretty sure I got this one, guess I didn't.
