Most humans don’t think to ask about the history of the water they drink, the earth they walk, or the air they breathe. And yet without water, earth, and air, there would be no place for Humanity to make their home.
The Everest -- officially, the General Massive Systems Standard Pattern I -- is a plainly designed chassis. Simple lines. Functional grace. Sturdy bulk. Its use-name, “Everest”, comes from one of the names of the tallest mountain on Cradle. Of the surveyed, named mountains in known space, Mount Everest -- or Sagarmatha, or Chomolungma, as it has been called in Old Human tongues -- is neither the most prominent peak, nor the even the tallest in Cradle’s local star system; and yet, pilots the galaxy over learned to call their GMS-SPi’s by that ancient name. Why?
The sentimental answer is that the Everest is called the Everest because it is a reminder of what was once the limit of human endurance, of what once was the peak of human achievement. To summit Everest was to stand atop the world, the culmination of months -- maybe years -- of training, investment, and effort, defying death and injury upon your quest to summit.
The real answer is probably much less intentional. Somewhere along the line, GMS’s plain naming convention coupled with Union’s anthropocentric emphasis lead a cadet, having graduated to a full pilot, to paint EVEREST across their GMS-SPi’s flank. Maybe it was meant to be their callsign, or maybe it was meant to represent their success following grueling training, but either way the name stuck in the insular pilot culture. Other pilots adopted the name, and over five centuries it has grown to become the official-unofficial designation for all GMS-SPi chassis.
Veteran pilots may never return to crew an Everest after they’ve moved on to other chassis, but they’ll always remember when they reached that first summit, when they proved they were worthy of planting their own flag on at the peak of the world.
The Everest may not be the most specialized chassis in the galaxy, but it is the backbone of the galaxy, and humanity steps to the stars from its shoulders.", - "mounts": ["Flex", "Main", "Heavy"], + "description": "Most humans don't think to ask about the history of the water they drink, the earth they walk, or the air they breathe. And yet, without water, earth, and air, there would be nowhere for humanity to make a home.
Just the same, the GMS-SP1 \"Everest\" is often taken for granted, its importance dismissed in favor of other, more specialized frames. A plain and unpretentious mech, defined by simple lines, functional grace, universal compatibility, and sturdy bulk, the Everest is as fundamental to the modern mechanized chassis as the natural world is to human life. The Everest isn't the most specialized mech, but it is the backbone of our expansion imperative. From its shoulders, humanity steps.
Prior to GMS's official adoption of the name, \"Everest\" was a use-name given to the frame by its pilots. Mount Everest - or Sagarmatha, or Chomolungma, as it has been called in older human tongues - is the tallest mountain on Cradle, though not the most prominent peak in known space, nor even the greatest in Cradle's star system, yet pilots across the galaxy call their SP1s by that ancient name. Why?
The sentimental answer is that the name is a reminder of what was once the limit of human endurance - once the height of human achievement. To reach Everest's summit was to defy death and stand atop the world - the culmination of months, even years, of training, investment, and hard work. Reaching the peak was also a triumph of the people, systems, and institutions behind the individual - a triumph too often left unacknowledged, or deliberately erased.
Sagarmatha. Chomolungma.
Even before the Fall, when the Massif vaults were built, some names - some stories - were given priority over others.
The real story behind the Everest's name is likely much less deliberate. Somewhere along the line, a newly graduated pilot, frustrated by GMS's plain naming conventions, painted \"EVEREST\" across the flank of their SP1. Maybe it was a callsign, or maybe it represented the pride they felt at success. Either way, the name stuck: others adopted the name, and over five centuries it grew to become the officially unofficial designation of the SP1 chassis.
Veteran pilots may never return to the Everest after moving on, but they'll always remember reaching that first summit - the mountaintop where they proved they could plant their own flag at the peak of the world.

OSIRIS was quickly captured and shackled following the successful application of the Mondragon Axiomatic.

Personality and parasentience code was injected into the initial anomalous PUPPETMASTER strain, and first contact handled by Think Tank NHPs. Further societal acclimation and conditioning were fast tracked, giving Armory engineers the first iteration of ASURA after a decade of study, recoding, and reeducation.

          Choose either your mech or another character in sensor range and line of sight. A hostile or unwilling character can pass a systems save to avoid this effect. The original character disappears, and you create a chronological split in their timeline, replacing them with two fields of mutating paradox energy that must be placed as close to its original position as possible. Each field is a new entity the same size as the targeted character that looks like a hole in space shaped roughly like the original character (don’t look at it too long though). It counts as a character and has 10 HP, 5 heat, 5 speed, 5 evasion, and 5 e-defense, is controlled by the original player, and both act on their turn, starting with their next activation. It can’t take reactions, and the only actions of any kind it can take on its turn is a regular move and a boost action. It provides obstruction and grants hard cover.
          If a field overheats or is reduced to 0 HP, it immediately disappears. The controlling player can also cause a field to disappear as a reaction to the end of any character’s turn.
          If one field disappears, the other immediately transforms into the original character, placing them back on the battlefield in the field’s space. If both fields disappear at the same time (due to reaction fire, etc), the field’s controller decides which field disappears first.

          REQ: SOLEMN VIGIL (TANGENT ROYAL ADDENDUM)

          Didymos. It means twin in an old, old tongue. It might be a bit too cute but it’s the name our cask spat out for us.

          We observed Didymos Prime in action during the fall of Green Zone Alhambra, mounted in a chassis we initially classified as a HORUS Minotaur, one of three we ID’d operating among the Ungrateful cell in New Madrassa.

          It was not that Minotaur.

          Alhambra fell in three days. A spirited resistance, but they decided to cut their losses and pull back. Their new commander is a smart one. We moved in after, during the looting. Our local contact [NAME REDACTED] escorted us to the NM commanders, introduced us to them, and secured an audience with the pilot of the chassis.

          I’m sure you’ve reviewed the records of the debrief we recorded. We don’t know how it arrived in New Madrassa; the Ungratefuls say they received the initial code burst from their contact in the Voladores. The Voladores say they never gave them anything, and called it la pulga, “The Flea” — we have designated it LITCH. Didymos is the active animus — what serves as its pilot.

          We do not recommend giving this one a long leash.

          Introductory paragraphs to King of Kings: An Oral History of General Massive Systems

          ", - "description": "Oldest and most ubiquitous of the Big 5, General Massive Systems (GMS) is an all-purpose supplier to all persons in Union’s hegemony. From mech chassis and ship hulls to casual clothing, from prefab space station bulkheads to coffee beans, GMS’s catalogue reaches across a galaxy worth of goods, materials, and services .GMS is widely viewed as the reliable baseline of goods quality across the galaxy: anything worse than GMS quality is junk, anything better tends to be unique or luxury

          GMS began as an independent outfitter during the first expansion period that grew to ubiquity as the outward colonial push afforded by nearlight drives surged. Union saw value in controlling the industry standard supplier, so they nationalized GMS, guaranteeing its place as the galactic standard mark. The corporate entity became an arm of Union’s ever expanding bureaucracy, a way to standardize and legacy-proof equipment and consumables across the rapidly growing class of explorers, colonists, and scientists venturing out into the stars.

          As colonial expansion continued and competitor corporations emerged onto the galactic supply, a baseline of equipment was needed in order to assess what improvements needed to be made to Cradle-specific gear; similarly, dramatic time dilation was far more of an obstacle in those early days than it is in the narrative present, and some standard, legacy-compatible equipment was needed in order to assure compliance across disparate eras. GMS’s Standard/Foundation 1 line became that industry baseline by which all other suppliers' products were measured.

          With the incredible wealth of Cradle behind it, General Massive Systems became the ubiquitous supplier. Over thousands of years, it has grown to become a massive department of Union, and continues to be the standard against which all others are measured. GMS is an economic engine, one of a large toolbox, by which Union promotes their “brand” across the galaxy. Distinct from Union’s political and military arms, GMS is an ever-present flexing of soft power: it is ubiquitous to the point of being the “normal” standard by which most all universal goods are judged by.

          GMS, unlike the other entities listed in this section, does not engage in world building, colonial ventures, or flagged expeditions--it simply sets the standard for which all others build from and supplies them with the gear they need. It creates the world of goods, services, equipment, and habitations most humans know to be “normal”. GMS’s power comes from its ability to set what the galactic acceptable standard is: by nudging that bar ever up, it forces non-Union entities to develop alternatives that benefit humanity as a whole, even if they are developed for selfish, profit-driven motives.

          GMS rarely reaches out to outside contractors for work. Its headquarters is on Cradle proper, like the rest of Union’s Central Command, and it has offices throughout the inhabited galaxy." + "quote": "From Cradle to the stars, GMS: assured quality, universal licensing, total coverage.", + "description": "General Massive Systems - GMS for short - is the galactic-standard supplier of just about everything. GMS developed the first mechs from up-armored hardsuits in 4500u, on Ras Shamra, the world that would become the capital of Harrison Armory; now, GMS's flagship Everest line of mechs sets the galactic standard. Reliable, sturdy, solidly built, and available in countless localized patterns, there are so many variants on the Everest pattern that it has become totally ubiquitous and faded into the background. With universally compatible components, full radiation and environmental shielding, and tens of thousands of pre-loaded languages, a pilot in their Everest has everything they need to get the job done.

          GMS is one of the oldest fabricators in the galaxy, first getting its start in the early days of the colonization rush. The manufacturer hails from Cradle, the home of Union - and humanity - and thus its designs reflect the sensibilities of the first pioneers to seek the stars. Today, GMS products are available anywhere there is access to the omninet. These products, whether consumer, specialty, or military, are widely viewed as the galactic minimum of quality: not particularly luxurious, but unsurpassed in no-nonsense design, reliability, and ease of use. Where GMS is available, anything less is unacceptable.

          The last and largest of the Triumvirate Corpros is Interplanetary Shipping-Northstar, or, IPS-N, a shipping and transport conglomerate that has been around since the discovery of nearlight and suspension protocols allowed for the first interstellar commerce.

          IPS-N formed as a mutual defense pact between Interplanetary Shipping, Inc, and the Northstar Corporation, two shipping giants plagued by environmental hazards and early orbital/suborbital piracy. Both IPS and Northstar trace their lineage back to Cradle, where they began initially as shipwright unions that organized the early engineers, mechanics, and laborers who reactivated the Theseus shipyard, an artifact of Old Humanity.

          Prior to the discovery of blinkspace and the construction of the first gates, piracy in Union space was not yet interstellar. Pirate MO was to strike in low orbit, emerging above their targets from satellite debris rings or on a wildcat-launch intercept trajectory from underneath, aiming to interdict shuttles as they load or unload their goods onto the waiting interstellar freighters.

          Pirates were largely orbital, small outfits that struck their targets with an aim to kill and salvage goods to fence planetside. Early low orbit piracy saw desperate teams of patchwork buccaneers pack onto shuttles loaded with bolted-on kinetic weapons -- formidable enemies for civilian merchant ships.

          In light of this danger, IPS and Northstar merged, combining their resources to create a private anti-piracy force in order to protect their investments. IPS-N, working with early Union Navy officers, developed the first ship-to-ship and anti-boarding doctrines, as well as the first purposebuilt point defense weapons.

          The introduction of blinkspace opened up new fields of trade, as well as new arenas of piracy. IPS-N continued to build out their fleets and security teams, now protecting whole trade corridors in exchange for percentages of all trade. This relationship has persisted over thousands of years, becoming so firmly ingrained in galactic practice that IPS-N is now a household name in many core and key colony worlds; IPS-N’s anti-piracy teams -- the origin for another well-known and storied autonomous organization, The Albatross -- are often looked at as the de-facto peacekeeping force in many distal spreads of the galaxy.

          As trade grows and humanity’s reach expands, so do does IPS-N.

          IPS-Northstar’s largest campus -- its corporate headquarters -- is located in Corespace, outside of Cradle in the Argo Navis system; IPS-N’s historic headquarters, now a museum devoted to the history of interstellar travel, is located on Luna.

          Carina, the primary world of Argo Navis, is a bucolic world of warm, shallow seas, azure skies, and rolling plains of deep grass. A world of terrestrial and aquatic oceans, perfect for the stellar/ maritime CS.

          Carina is ringed by ten moons, two thick with habitable atmosphere — Pyxis and Vela. All are given over to research and development of IPS-N’s interstellar ships and chassis, support systems, and temporal acclimation facilities for retiring Cosmopolitan members of IPS-N’s antipiracy Albatross teams.

          IPS-N, in addition to developing interstellar ships and legacy chassis, run a humanitarian mission, Northstar Realignment. Northstar Realignment is the top-flight temporal embassy and education center for Cosmopolitans returning from long-haul relativistic voyages.

          Beyond the Argo Navis system, IPS-N maintains numerous field offices and Cosmopolitan lounges on blink stations, meant to serve long-haul merchants and regular Cosmopolitans both. IPS-N field offices are the first-contact point for aspiring IPS-N engineers, mechanics, navigators, and pilots, as well as a common first-contact point for people looking to crew or rent a berth on an outbound interstellar ship.

          Players would commonly encounter IPS-N employees, officers, and personnel on blink stations, around uplift stations, and on space ports. Blink stations usually have an IPS-N Cosmopolitan Lounge or field office where players can get civilian updates on news, galactic happenings, and check travel reports.

          Of the Triumvirate, IPS-N remains the least diversified in terms of a catalogue of goods. Outside of milspec chassis, hulls, and equipment, IPS-N primarily sticks to interstellar-capable vessels, equipment, and gear, from the fleet-tier to the personal consumer. IPS-N is a sure bet for any interstellar travellers, with a thousand years of banked goodwill boosting their brand.

          " + "quote": "Your friend in an unfriendly sea.", + "description": "IPS-Northstar (IPS-N) was created from the merger of two civilian interstellar freight and transportation companies, Interplanetary Shipping and Northstar. The resulting firm, IPS-N is a titanic entity - one of the first corpro-states - with a virtual monopoly over interplanetary and interstellar shipping. Other firms exist, but their gross fleet strength is but a shadow of IPS-N's fleets of tankers, haulers, freighters, and intergate/interstellar liners. Wherever goods and raw materials need to be moved, you can bet a crew in IPS-N uniforms will be there.

          The story of IPS-N is inseparable from the history of interstellar piracy. Whatever dangers the galaxy might hold, piracy remains the greatest threat to interstellar shipping lines, costing fleet managers and states hundreds of thousands in manna and trillions more in local currencies. Tremendous capital losses, schedule delays, losses of life, and false-scarcity famines convinced the myriad unions, conglomerates, and cartels of the need to comprehensively safeguard civilian shipping. A process of agglomeration and consolidation that lasted for years eventually gave birth to two major firms, Interplanetary Shipping and Northstar. They finally merged into a single corpro-state in the waning days of Union's first government, the First Committee.

          Following the merger, IPS-N began the work of phasing out its fleets of late-model GMS mechs in favor of new proprietary designs. The corporation now sports a range of versatile, durable, and modular mechs that place equal priority on weapons and engineering systems. IPS-N mechs are a good choice for pilots who want a tough chassis that's built for close quarters and melee combat situations, such as when the possibility of breaching a ship hull is on the table. IPS-N chassis are sturdy, meant to take as much damage as they deal - and then some.

          IPS-N is closely associated with the Albatross, an anti-piracy and peacekeeping force known across the galaxy for its long history of humanitarian interventions. IPS-N supports the Albatross materially, providing it with chassis, ships, cutting-edge technology, and temporal rehabilitation worlds for its pilots and crews to retire in relative peace. The relationship is mutually beneficial; IPS-N makes a point to emphasize its close relationship to the Albatross in marketing campaigns and PR materials." }, { - "id": "SSC", - "name": "Smith-Shimano Corpro", + "id": "mfr_smith_shimano_corpro", + "name": "SMITH-SHIMANO CORPRO", "logo": "ssc", "color": "#d1920a", - "quote": "

          Smith-Shimano Corpro is another of the Triumvirate Corpros, the smallest and most mission-focused of the three, with their physical territorial holdings dwarfed by their presence in the omninet and in Diasporan biologies.

          SSC came to prominence during the second expansion period, growing rapidly to dominate the Core market in Union’s liberal, pre-MONIST transhumanist approach to biological and cybernetic enhancement. Following the Deimos Event, the First Contact Accords, and the ensuing crackdown on AI generation and civilian ontologic/singularity-focused experimentation, SSC tacked to a more “natural” approach to biological and cybernetic human enhancement. Instead of pursuing marriage between human and artificial intelligences, they would focus on improving the bodies we lived in; instead of removing the need to step to the stars, they would make it so we could step to the stars.

          SSC’s corporeal development pushes the edge of what it means to be a human being. Cybernetic enhancements, subdermal nettings, aurals, implanted neuroneutral omnihooks, ontologic bridges, co-subjectivity nodes, panacea glands -- the list is exhausting, and that only covers the Foreign Body department of SSC’s massive R&D campus-worlds. The real bulk of SSC’s cutting edge research comes in the form of their own citizens, a population of billions spread across a constellation of moons, worlds, stations, and habitats. These populations are monitored and cultivated to produce best-fit genetic material for SSC’s big manna buyers: colony firms looking to license bespoke populations for as-yet-unexploited worlds. 

          Smith-Shimano Corpro’s home campus is an omnispace node address, a shared virtual space that collects a wide net of colony prospect words throughout the Sierra Madre line. It is shielded by layers of hyper-solipsistic, anticausal/paradox generation security coding, managed by NHPs seeded from proprietary divergent subjectivities — in short, it is difficult and dangerous to attempt to hack into.

          The campus itself is represented by a many-chambered estate, palatial, where the heads of representative genetic lines meet in virtual space. It appears to have no counterpart in realspace, though it is often suggested that the architectural inspiration for the estate comes from a building on Smith-Shimano’s first colony world, Opal, long ago lost to bitter civil violence.

          Realspace Smith-Shimano campuses exist across the Sierra Madre line, serving roles akin to embassies on the Corpro-State’s many territorial holdings. These embassies are upload points linked to the CS’s private omninode.

          The worlds under SSC’s direct control are, generally, small worlds -- atmospheric moons and pleasant temperate worlds that are lightly developed, with tightly controlled populations that are guided towards arranged couplings in order to create biome-specific lines of bespoke colony seed. The people on these worlds are aware of SSC’s mission, and most are content with their situation. Save for a donation of genetic material (a few hairs, a drop of blood) and a cultural insistence on arranged coupling, life on a Constellation World is largely similar to that of life on a given non-SSC core world. With their needs taken care of by SSC's Constellar Congress, Constellar citizens mostly organize into clans of cousins and close family, spending their time engaged in artistic, artisan, and intellectual pursuits. The Constellar worlds are known for the quality of their art, literature, and masterwork goods.

          SSC mounts expeditions into all sectors of space to seek out new and interesting genetic materials. Their recruitment materiel leans heavily on the benefits for immigrating to an SSC world: they are, in a phrase, your ideal paradise.

          SSC is also known for their luxury-forward consumer goods and machinery. Elegant ships, chassis, and hardsuits for the discerning Cosmopolitan and Diasporan alike. Fabrics and materials that feel perfect against your skin, cybernetic and biological enhancements that will never fail or be rejected by your body, flash-grown internals and extremities -- insurance, should the worst happen. SSC’s LUX line of consumer goods is bespoke down to the atom, crafted for the person who ordered that ship, chassis, suit, or bottle of wine. There’s only one of you in the galaxy -- shouldn’t there be only one of these?

          The average galactic citizen sees SSC as a luxury brand that emphasized attachment to the craft and expertise that creates the material world around them. SSC’s advertisements emphasize the hand-crafted nature of their goods, the long-cycle growth of their biologicals -- to SSC’s public face, printing is a necessary evil, one that can make the goods the masses need, but not the perfect, unique item you need.

          SSC’s power comes from the licensing of these luxury goods, cybernetics, and biological lines. They do not cede control over their genestock to the colony firms that use them: in fact, they retain ultimate rights over them, as they rely on the risk of other corporations, states, and private groups to inject new and interesting mutations into their finely cultivated genelines.

          " + "quote": "You only need one.", + "description": "Smith-Shimano Corpro (SSC) is the second-oldest corporation in the galaxy, preceded only by GMS. Founded by Cartwright Smith and Shimano Hideyoshi, SSC's emphasis on private stellar and interstellar travel, the fantastic wealth of its founders, and favorable contracts within Union's First Committee, Smith-Shimano quickly became an early leader in the race to develop sublight, downwell, and EVA vehicles. SSC grew throughout Union's First Expansion Period, managing the majority of all private and corporate contracts' design, outfitting, and clinical needs. Over time, the corporation diversified to specialize in bio-bespoke, long-range scout suits - personalized hard suits, for those with the manna to afford them.

          The necessities of deep-space exploration require humans to spend long periods in hostile environments; pre-Deimos Event, SSC sought to address this challenge by breaking down the barriers between human and machine, creating a symbiotic relationship between hardsuit and wearer. Following the Deimos Event, however, SSC wound down most of its human/machine integration research in accordance with the First Contact Accords, choosing instead to focus on perfecting the first machine: the human body itself.

          Smith-Shimano FRAMES reflect the corpro-state's pedigree and its agile, adaptable business model. They are built not to take hits - though they're resilient enough - but to avoid them entirely. SSC designs emphasize mobility and sleek profiles, precisely tuned to land not the hardest hit, but the most accurate. Economy, precision, and singularity is the name of the game for this manufacturer: why fire a thousand rounds when one can be just as effective?

          The mechs developed by SSC are known for their license exclusivity, appealing silhouette, and exacting design. Their LUX-Iconic line of chassis are coveted, single-designer models, each unique to the pilot with the requisite licenses and access to afford them; as such, unlike other manufacturers, SSC frames tend to be longer-lasting in service, with more emphasis on retrofitting and repair than recycling and reproduction." }, { - "id": "HORUS", + "id": "mfr_horus", "name": "HORUS", "logo": "horus", "color": "#00a256", - "quote": "

          HORUS is unlike any other supplier worth noting on the galactic scale. Not a state and not a corporation, HORUS is best described as a decentralized, non-corporeal entity, an anoriginary affiliation of omninet personalities, memes, and subcode that release systems and gear via manifesto, event, and physical dead drop.

          This entity first rose to public knowledge following the Deimos Event, leading many who know of it to assume that it is a product of the Deimos Event -- eager cataloguers of HORUS history are quick to suggest that it is a branched-intelligence of RA, a sliver of the MONIST entity given to spreading itself among those who it deems worthy.

          However, other possibilities exist: that it is a blacksite Union project to track and identify rogue NHP programs or militant Horizon sympathizers; a Union (or Triumvirate) R&D program that crowdsources results from blind field testing; the dream of an NHP in cascade, and its adherents the interpreters of that dream; an intrusive thread of a parallel universe, its reality bleeding into ours via a permanent rip in blinkspace; evidence of a true alien intelligence, generated memetically by the long-dead minds of the Union Far-Field team that first discovered HORUS’s seed hieroglyphs.

          Many possibilities exist, and whole groups and movements are devoted towards discovering the true nature of HORUS. In the meantime, HORUS continues to release their unique pattern-groups to a select cadre of pilots, revealing nothing of its inner workings, history, or goals.

          HORUS’s licensing process is atypical, involving an esoteric and inaccessible set of criteria that interested parties have yet to crack. Often appearing as a white rabbit series of clues, or as a persistent haunting, or as an otherwise routine status-synch when confirming a requisition, licensure from HORUS is a mixed bag to many pilots. Some wear it as a badge of honor, proud that their years of investigating the entity has paid off with a confirmation of its existence -- others keep it a closely guarded secret, both for the trouble it would cause them with their commanders and the rumor that HORUS licenses are only granted to a new pilot upon the previous licenseholder’s corporeal death. 

          Your average galactic citizen would have no knowledge of HORUS. Knowledge of its existence is restricted to high-clearance Union Intelligence Bureau officers and deep-omni hacker cadres. HORUS has no “official” representation -- occasionally one may see the wadjet stenciled onto an alley wall -- but this entity keeps no offices, stations, or worlds. There are no standing HORUS armies or fleets or security services.

          However, it is worth noting the existence of the metafold vaults. 

          As best Union Intelligence Bureau agents can surmise, HORUS’s metafold vaults appear to be a project similar to the Massif vaults on Cradle. Metafold vaults are physical/metaphysical locations, usually heavily guarded, their locations kept secret; in the narrative present, only three metafold vaults have been discovered -- one by a UIB Advance Team, which folded in on itself and disappeared, taking the team with it, the other by an Albatross wing, who redirected the comet it was housed in to a nearby star, and the final -- known to be Metavault Dhiyed -- encountered and cleared by a second UIB Advance Team.

          HORUS only makes systems, weapons, and protocols. It makes no consumer goods, and is unknown to all but a small percentage of the galaxy’s population.

          >//ACCESS IS YOURS, AS LONG AS YOU CAN KEEP IT.          ", + "description": "HORUS is an oddity among the various pan-galactic corpro-states, outfitters, and manufacturers. Operating in a gray legal state between harmless omninet communes, open-source fabrication collaboratives, black-market printers, and deeper, more esoteric collectives, HORUS is counted among the Big Four not due to its influence on galactic politics, but because of its ubiquitous coverage: one can be certain that wherever there is omninet, HORUS is either there or soon to follow. Rumors abound as to the manufacturer's nature - some say it's the dream of an unshackled NHP or a hacker collective dedicated to open-source manufacturing (at its most mundane levels); others insist that it's the proving ground for one of the corpro-states' R&D departments, or the realspace projection of an alien entity's ongoing wish.

          The group's history is as mercurial as its present. Union records dating back to the First Committee Period indicate contact with groups, individuals, and state actors claiming to be (or identified as) agents of HORUS, itself described as an individual; a terrorist group; a philosophy church, or political party; an activist group; and many other forms of association. Contemporary reports indicate a subtle shift toward a more cohesive organizing structure - certainly accelerated following the Deimos Event - that points to some form of organizational mission and internal culture at levels far beyond the civilian and criminal levels of engagement with grayspace HORUS fronts.

          This more complex level of organization is reflected in HORUS's mechs. Unlike the collective's broad, civilian-facing projects - omnicode, hacks, data, and open-sourcing of otherwise restricted information, services, and platforms - HORUS mechs and pattern groups are limited in the extreme, usually first appearing as endemic manifestations of print anomalies in conflict zones across the galaxy. Save for rare situations (heavily documented by the Union Intelligence Bureau), these outbreaks seem to take place independent and ignorant of all factions and actors, and have one goal: manifest, then proliferate.

          HORUS's oldest frames are built according to standardized forms, as with most other mechs. The collective's more recent chassis are stranger. Union's Universal Threat Assessment Manual (UTAM) classifies them not according to models but according to \"pattern groups\" (or PGs). Each pattern group is a list of specifications that describe a particular combination of experimental, unregulated, and esoteric paracausal weapons and technology that, when taken together, resemble something like a distinct product line or frame. However, it is important to note: the pattern-group classification system originated with Union analysts, not HORUS. Because there is no official manufacturer-entity or (known) central organizing body, the \"proper\" designations and design intentions of most HORUS mechs are all but unknown. Thus, the UTAM pattern-group designations.

          HORUS \"licenses\" are highly coveted, and are distributed according to no discernible requirements; scholars and specialists who study HORUS generally assume that the collective's licenses - that is, access to deep-level designs, specifications, and print patterns - are available only in limited quantities, likely becoming available after the corporeal death of their previous holders.

          HORUS mechs universally field mysterious, unregulated, greyspace technologies - perfect for pilots seeking a technological edge that few other organizations can provide. They seem to focus on crowd control, individual unit management, and terribly powerful systems.

          Be aware that by seeking out HORUS technology, you may find yourself wrapped up in mysteries with no end, and dangers far beyond your deepest fears." }, { - "id": "HA", + "id": "mfr_harrison_armory", + "name": "HARRISON ARMORY", "logo": "ha", - "color": "#6e4373", - "name": "Harrison Armory", - "quote": "

          \"To build a shining city on every hill.\"
          -- Director-General Harrison II, from Treatise To Confirm The Mission of Our Armory

          ", - "description": "


          Harrison Armory is a corpro-state, and the premier weapons and weapon-platform manufacturer in the galaxy. They are one of the Triumvirate Corpros, a group of three massive, galaxy-spanning corpro-states that dictate, to a degree, galactic politics.

          The Armory develops some of the most advanced conventional and paracausal tech that is legally distributed. Next to GMS, the Armory is the second most common supplier for state fleets, militaries, and police forces. It is a massive imperial power, with a population numbering in the billions and growing as colonies pledge themselves -- voluntarily or otherwise -- to Ras Shamra.

          The Armory’s success can be credited in large part to their Special-Exception Persistent-Cultivation Legionspace Environment, SEPCLE or, colloquially, the Think Tank. Think Tank is a choir of near-cascade NHP that the Armory uses for research and development into paracausal technology, forecasting, and department management. Due to the Armory’s special relationship with Union, it is allowed to run a choir of NHP at critical levels of self-awareness; the Think Tank is
          a closely guarded secret in the Armory, known in rumor to its patrician citizens and competitors, but in specifics and particulars to a small portion of the population.

          In addition to their weaponry and weapon platforms, the Armory is known for its sturdy exploration gear, consumer and state-level logistics and infrastructure packages, personal groundcars, and spirits. Harrison Armory is a big player in galactic trade, as their Distal Development program cultivates and exports exotic alien spices, flora, fauna, and minerals for consumer use.

          Harrison Armory is an expansionist corpro-state that works with Union to expand and develop humanity’s presence across the stars. They run a broad program of colonization and development, attracting unaffiliated and affiliated colonies through promises of citizenship and interstellar protection.

          In the tumult of the dissolution of the Second Committee in the 4500U, many members of the deposed anthrochauvinist party retired from the bureaucracy. As the initial revolutionary fervor cooled and the Third Committee stabilized, a mid-level Anthrochauv party officer, John Creighton Harrison, founded Harrison Armory from a coalition of resource extraction communes extant on Ras Shamra.

          With strong backing from old Anthrochauv party members and their children, the Armory grew into a significant supplier of arms and armor to the new Union Navy. The events of the Crisis had broken the Second Committee, but its aftermath reformed many of their loyalists and old guard into the original command structure and dynasty of Harrison Armory. Now, the Armory is managed by their descendants and heirs, and its relationship with Union is colored by the expectation of distant future friction.

          For the time being, both entities can find more benefit working together than against one another, but as the Armory grows in directly-administered territory and power, the more they find themselves a bigger and bigger bullet point on the Union Central Committee briefing materials.

          Harrison Armory’s eponymous armory complex is located on Ras Shamra, the primary world orbiting Ptah’s Star. Ras Shamra is a tide-locked world in the close band of its system’s habitable zone: it is a world that balances on the knife-edge between extremes, as tidal locking means the world does not rotate. Habitable in the balanced, temperate zone of the world’s terminator line, Ras Shamra’s sun-facing side is locked in perpetual daylight, baked under punishing temperatures from Ptah’s Star. On the side of the world that faces away from the sun, it is forever nighttime, the world locked in a perpetual deep winter night. A thin atmosphere covers the world, breathable, but outside the terminator line extreme temperatures and weather make it impossible for an unshielded human to survive.

          The Armory itself is a sprawling administrative, research-industrial arcology built in Ras Shamra’s terminator line, a temperate band where the day and night side of Ras Shamra meet and mix. The Armory circles the planet, a city-campus that holds a population of nearly three hundred million employees, executives, and other personnel inside of its walls. A number of perpetual hyperloop rings band the planet, providing rapid transit through the Armory, and a single, artificial
          river-sea meanders through the whole of the arcology, fed by natural springs and imported glacier-cuts from the night side of the world. Ras Shamra is a difficult world to live on, and the Armory takes it as a point of pride that they’ve manage to tame enough of it to call it their home.

          The day and night sides of Ras Shamra act as proving grounds for Harrison Armory chassis, weapons, and strike/acquisition teams. HA/AT troopers often mark their kits with “unofficial” honors for having proven themselves in both the day and night advanced training courses, setting themselves apart from green hires who enlist to advance their corporate political career.

          Ras Shamra is encircled by concentric rings of orbital defense stations and shipyards where a population around a hundred million permanent residents reside and work. Here the great paracausal and supermassive weaponry of the Armory is built, tested, and stored. The work in the rings is constant, and HA hulls of all classifications are churned out at a rate that, while not rivaling IPS-N, is approaching comparable.

          The location of Harrison Armory’s Forecast/GALSIM-NHP analogue, the Think Tank, is kept secret, though presumed to be buried deep below the frozen tundra of Ras Shamra’s night side. Think Tank, while a closely guarded corpro secret, is known to Union, which enjoys regular inspections of the facility -- this is a thorn in the side of Harrison Armory’s Director General, who would prefer that Union keep their prying eyes from sensitive corporate technology.

          The general public on a core world -- a good measure of what amounts to “public galactic knowledge” -- would not have any knowledge of the particulars of Ras Shamra, Think Tank, or the particular operations of a Harrison Armory Acquisition Team. They would know Harrison Armory as a weapons manufacturer and defense contractor, whose name they hear in snippets of newscasts discussing Cradle politics, distal colonial affairs, and mentioned in contrast to IPSN’s stranglehold on interstellar shipping. Some who have studied the history of Cradle and Union might know of the Armory’s ties to the anthrochauvinist Second Committee, but five hundred standard years after the fact, it certainly feels like old news.

The corpro-state previously specialized in ordnance and other armaments, making it reliant on competitors' frames as mounts for its deluxe equipment; however, since the overthrow of Union's Second Committee, Harrison Armory has broadened its product line to include an extensive range of peerless frontline frames. On the wave of this new success, the Armory has transformed into a burgeoning, imperial corpro-state, a mighty galactic power that directly administers a large number of Core worlds, orbitals, and colonial prospects - this is the Purview; all lands under the Armory's command.

          By necessity of Harrison Armory's imperial aims, its frames tend to be sturdy. More than that, Armory mechs are built to ensure overwhelming performance, embodying dominance and power in their brutal, geometric aesthetics. This fulfillment of this desire requires tremendous power, skill, and material strength.

          Harrison Armory licenses are perfect for pilots looking to field durable frontline mechs equipped with the most advanced weapons technology available." } -] +] \ No newline at end of file
