==About Esperança ==

Officially the ''Comunidades Federadas de Esperança'', Esperança is the ruling government of Esperança, the large earthlike moon of the São Galvão gas giant. While most of the population resides on Esperança, the planet's orbital infrastructure does contain a sizable population, mostly clustered in habitats at the top of the Céu-Coluna Orbital Elevator. The colony's fertile soil and vast, wide open spaces have made it a prime location for food production. Located at the hub of multiple jump-routes, Esperança has a fairly large population at 42 million people, and has extensive 0g and ground based industries and power infrastructure, as well as what some consider to be one of the top tier non-earth military forces in the Pacific Arm, a reputation gained from their experiences during the ZOCU war; the backbone of Esperança's military might is the Espaça Federal da Esperança(Esperança Federal Spacy, EFE). Esperança is one of the main voices of opposition in PACT to both ZOCU and the Libertadors, as well as one of the most diplomatically and involved nations of the pacific arm.

===Climate and Geography===
Esperanca is the largest and most habitable moon of São Galvão, and orbits in just the right way to recieve enough sunlight from Lusitania and enough background radiation from São Galvão to enjoy a temperate, vegetation friendly climate. Seeded eons ago by the Precursors, Esperanca's native life while not earth-related, is sufficiently close enough that there were no difficulties in habitation by humanity. The planet's gravity is actually slightly higher than earth-standard, but due to various environmental factors, it does not cause much problems for baseline humans. Most of Esperanca's soil is highly fertile, allowing the small farming communes which contain most of the planet's population to produce large amounts of food. The average Esperancan year is roughly 1.5 earth years, while it takes Esperanca three months to make a full orbit of São Galvão.

====System Astrography====
'''Lusitania HD 37124''' is a G4V yellow dwarf, approximately 108 LY away from earth, somewhat smaller, cooler and younger than Sol. It is located along the PACT arm of the Sphere; the interstellar catapult path reached it in 2178.

'''Da Silva (HD 37124b)''' is the first planet out from Lusitania. Massing in at 0.61 Mj, it orbits at 0.53 AU for a period of 156 earth days. Granma is classified as a Jovian planet, and has numerous uninhabited moons.

'''São Galvão (HD 37124c)''' is the second planet of the Lusitania system. A Jovian planet like its sisters, Sao Galvao has a mass of more than twice that of Saturn, and its position 1.22 AU away from the star means that it is directly in the habitable zone. Sao Galvao has 40 moon sized celestial objects in orbit, one of which is currently inhabited. The planet also has nine rings consisting of ice particles, debris, and dust. The lack of a strong magnetic field around the planet itself, combined with its position on the jump network and its easily accessible Helium 3 reserves made its moons a strong contender for colonization.

'''Vargas (HD 37124d)'''

=== History ===

==== Discovery Era [2083-2086] ====
The system that would officially be named Lusitania(After the ancient name for Portugal) by its inhabitants was originally cataloged as part of the Henry Draper Catalog as HD 37124, a G-type main sequence star similar to Sol, approximately 108 light-years away. Pre-determined in 2005 to have at least three planets all within the star's habitable zone(eventually all realized to be Jovian planets with large amounts of moons). The first human entry to the system was on January 1st 2083 by the ''Challenger-Class'' DSS ''Álvares Cabral''. Although lacking any true inner-terrestrial planets, and with HD 37124 b and HD 37124 d being too hot and too cold respectively(according to ancient discoveries of exoplanets), and with HD 37124 c only having a slim possibility of having a habitable moon, the system was one of the first star systems explored inside the Brazilian-claimed sector. The truth of the system, however, was a complete shock.

Vastly differing from the expected barely inhabitable system HD 37124 was predicted to be, first hand exploration revealed that the system was incredibly habitable, and more than prime for colonization. Although the star itself was somewhat dimmer than Sol, evidence suggests that HD 37124c was actually nudged closer in the distance past, changing its believed distance from the star (combined with inaccurate data) from 1.64 AU to 1.22 AU, close enough for it's many moons to be habitable after terraforming and seeding by the precursors.

Officially named São Galvão, the gas giant's moons were explored for two years by the Alvares and the ''Galileo-class'' planetary exploration ship ''Rafael Perestrello''. At the end of the initial survey, the results were in: out of Sao Galvao's 40 moons, the most habitable one was also the largest: Esperança, a roughly earth sized, terracompatible moon in a stable orbit. The remaining would be habitable with application of terraforming techniques, or were otherwise too hot or too deadly to be considered for anything other than mining. Following intense and heated negotiations and bidding on the colonization rights, ownership of the system was handed over to the Brazilian government.

The first wave of colonists on-board the colony ships ''Empress Maria'' and ''Emperor Pedro'', accompanied by the ''General Secretary-class'' ship the ''Javier Pérez de Cuéllar'' arrived in early 2086, carrying one million and twenty thousand colonists. The two colony ships made landfall near the coastal equatorial regions of Esperança, founding the first city and what would later become the capital of the nation, ''Primeira Aterragem'' (First Landing).

==== Colonization Era & The Esperançan Civil War [2101-2151] ====
In the first two decades after the founding of the colony, more and more transport ships arrived in system, carrying colonists and equipment from earth. With its favorable climate and biosphere combined with its stellar position(Which offset the low amounts of Delta Dust), Esperança rapidly grew in population, with its industry and economy rising alongside it. Alongside the rapid population growth, there was a rise in anti-transgene feeling on the colony, leading to a series of laws to prevent the rise of any sizable transgenic group. During this time, Roman Catholic churches in Brazil also began to migrate to Esperança, with the first finished cathedral on the planet being completed in 2110. Like Brazil, Esperança has a large population of European, Asian, and African descended citizens,with most of them self-identifying as Brazilian or Esperança.

By the year 2140, Esperança was a rich and prosperous colony, with a burgeoning cultural identity. The Orbital Elevator that ''Primeira Aterragem'' was built around, the ''Céu-Coluna'', had been completed, linking up to the ''Céu-Coluna Counterweight Station'' which served as the main center of orbital industry and commerce for the colony. The construction of experimental power stations in orbit, meant to harness power from the tidal stresses generated by São Galvão, were both fully operational and proving the feasibility of the process, with plans in motion for construction of additional power plants to provide cheap and clean power. A technologically advanced and mature system of orbital power, communication, and habitation satellites filled Esperançan space; and the new ''Estaleiro Novo do Titã'' shipyards had just launched the luxury liner ''Da'Cruze''. However, heavy taxes imposed by Brazil's federal government, and a lack of representation were still problems that would soon boil over.

Unfortunately, all was not peaceful. As the colony's population grew, and it became more and more self sufficient, tensions between the earth-based colonial administration and Esperançan colonists began to sour. Although a majority of Esperançans favored the status quo, that number was shrinking more and more as a loose coalition of pro-independence forces, calling themselves the ''Partido Trabalhista para a Liberdade'' (Workers Party for Freedom) or PTL, gained more and more members as popular opinion swung against the increasingly conservative and reactionary Brazilian government. As the calender moved forward into 2140, things were reaching a head.

On April 1st of 2140, during a peaceful protests in the city of ''Refúgio da Liberdade'' against unfair taxation and no political representation, as well as against the refusal of the government to subsidize healthcare for colonists, things got heated when Brazilian Military Police boxed protesters in. From there, the police refused to let the crowd move, effectively holding them captive which had the effect of causing tempers to flare; this led to someone throwing a rock at an officer, and things spiraled out of control, with the MP's brutally arresting all of the protesters. The widespread news coverage of the crackdown ignited the tensions brewing among the colonists, causing riots to break out, as well as the PTL leaping into action. Along with local military units, partisan forces, and the chaos of the so called "April Fool's Rage", the PTL managed to not only seize the majority of the rural farming communes and small towns from Loyalist forces, but also seized the ''Estaleiro Novo do Titã'' shipyards as well as Céu Calmo BFA. As the day dawned on April 2nd, the stage was set for the Civil war, which would last from its start in April 2140, to its abrupt end in 2151. The war itself, while longlasting, was fairly tame compared to the Corporate War on Haraway, and most of the fighting took place in either 2141, 2145, or just at the beginning of the breakdown in 2143.

==== Breakdown Era [2152-2180] ====
Esperança was one of the furthest of UNASUR's colonial holdings, and without a catapult, the colony was cut off from earth with the onset of the breakdown. Although the civil war continued to wage on till 2153, with mop-up operations continuing into the following year, both the PTL and the colonial government knew that things needed to change if the isolated colony was to survive. Negotiating a cease-fire, the PTL officially disbanded their armed wing, which was integrated into the newly formed Serviços com Armas Federais da Esperança (commonly referred to by its acronym, SAFE). Funding that was previously slated for military forces was dedicated entirely to getting Esperança on its feet. Already nearing self sufficiency before the start of the civil war, the colony was able to become fully functional within a decade, partially due to new breakthroughs in science and technology, and thanks to policies enacted by the Worker's Party, had managed to become remarkably self-sufficient and capable when recontacted by Brazilian Naval Vessels in 2178, similar to ZOCU (Albeit without the use of posthuman bootstrapping)

While recontact was initially tense, the developing situation with the Zodiac Outworlds Colony Union and the Alliance of Che and Liberacion proved to be the thing that saved Esperança from annexation. While independently-minded, the bioconservative and fairly liberal nature of the nation led to a rapid souring of relations between ZOCU and Esperanca, especially when more details on Kanon and other "Offensive" ZOCU nations, such as Haraway, became known to the general public.

==== ZOCU War Era [2180-2188] ====
As tensions between the core and ZOCU began to boil over, it looked as though UNASUR and its colonies would be left out of any conflict with the so called "Zodiacs". This perception was absolutely shattered when, in 2182, a military force from Che, with support from Zodiac nations, seized control of the colony world Carabellas, renaming it Malvinas. With what was effectively a Sword of Damocles hanging above its head, it was obvious that Esperança, with its strategic position just four jumps away from Malvinas would play a major role in any future conflicts. Starting in 2183, the Programa Federal da Modernização do Equipamento dos Serviços com Armas (Federal Armed Services Equipment Modernization Program) program was instituted to research and develop advanced weapons and technologies to place Esperancan forces on the same level as the ZCM and the combined militaries of Che, Liberacion, and Malvinas,; along with an increase in the military's funding. From 2183 to 2186, SAFE saw a massive increase in the number of FTL capable vessels laid down and launched. With the likelihood that aerospace forces would be required to operate on many fronts much like in the civil war thirty years past, it was decided to invest in the development of new aerospace fighters and combat frames. Formally rolled out in 2183, the CF-83 Puma served throughout the entire war, and is the basis for all Esperançan Combat Frames.

Small-scale skirmishing between the EFE and Che's military was a standard practice, with by 2187, kept from spiraling into a larger war by the perceived superiority of PACT's naval forces. However in late 2186 the campaigns on Kanon and Choson, which were both defeats for Core-aligned forces, emboldened Che's military leadership. With tacit material support from ZOCU nations (ZOCU is also suspected by Esperanca to have sent pilots and advanced frames to Che during the war), Che launched Operation Granma, their attempt to knock out Esperanca's orbital industry. While expecting the battle to be a repeat of earlier ZOCU successes, the more well prepared UNASUR Combined fleet in system was able to intercept and drive off Che's fleet, with Esperancan Combat Frames dogfighting their Cheian counterparts. The remainder of the war was comprised of back and forth fleet battles and skirmishing, with the occasional planetary raid.

Che's overt hostility to Esperanca, as a result of the history shared between the two planets, as well as the brutal back-and-forth fighting in space, and the inconclusive end to the war, created an attitude of betrayal and anger among Esperancans. Having only recently been recontacted by Earth before the war, and with most of the populace having no idea of the causes of Che's justified anger towards UNASUR, the second time that war came to Esperanca seemed to be a hostile act by not just Che's military dictatorship, but a coordinated move by the Zodiac Separatists to destroy a bio-conservative pro-PACT nation. This lead to, while the ZOCU war was seen in most other places as a reconquista, it being seen on Esperanca was a valid war of defense against the overt aggressive policies of both Che's government and the Zodiac Outworlds Colony Union; as well as a massive increase in Bioconservative and Hawkish leanings within Esperanca's populace and Government. Indeed, the common "on The Street" viewpoint of ZOCU is highly negative towards them, with most citizens in favor of preemptive strikes by SAFE to remove the threat poised by Che and ZOCU.

==== Postwar Era [2188-2195] ====

In the years following the ZOCU War, Esperança has seen moderate growth in both the size of the SAFE and in the capabilities of its native industry. Still sore from being politically restrained by UNASUR, but burgeoning with prestige from its performance in the war, Esperança is beginning to act on its new position in the expanse. Though considered "imperialistic" and "Expansionist" by some commentators, the actions of SAFE in ensuring the security of its neighbors, the Expanse, and the Rim is generally seen to be a positive thing by most people; although there has been some discontent on certain rim worlds at the attempts of Esperança to play police.

=== Politics ===

While classified as a Representative Democracy, the Comunidades Federadas de Esperança's democratically elected government is unique in its organization. At the lowest level of government, which under the Esperancan system is considered to be the local governments of small towns and other communities, decisions are made by councils composed of local community leaders which hold weekly meetings on important issues to allow members of the community to have a more direct involvement with local governance. A step up from that is County Governance, in which the various community councils of the counties send one member elected by their community to represent the people at the County Council. The County Council is similar to the small-town councils, excepting for the lack of public involvement in the bi-monthly meetings.The next level of governance is the March, which is a collection of Counties. The General Assembly of the Federation is a twp house body, composed of three different bodies: The Commons, which is made up of 400 delegates elected in a proportional-representative style election; and the The House of Representatives, which is made up of 100 elected representatives. The Populace directly elects the President and Vice President, who nominates his choices for cabinet to be voted on by the General Assembly.

Generally speaking, Esperançan politics tend to be strongly leftist-socialist, with a not-inconsiderate influence from bioconservative and populist factions. Currently, the absolute majority of seats in the senate and chamber of deputies is controlled by two major parties: the Worker's Party(Partido dos Trabalhadores, PT), the successor to the Partido Trabalhista para a Liberdade and the head of the Liberal Bloc; and the Christian Socialist Party (Partido Socialista Cristão, PSC), the head of the centrist-bloc. Whilst the PT advocate a softer approach to international relations, generally pushing to have the SAFE expand its commitments to protect ASEAN worlds and outreach to independent powers (namely Valera) in order to render the threat of Che and ZOCU nonexistant; the PSC prefers a far more aggressive approach, namely using the military might and advanced technology of Esperança, along with SAFE's considerable operational capacity, to strong-arm independents into siding with PACT and then engage ZOCU and Che in a final war, aimed at dismantling the current political structure of the ZOCU organization and Che's military dictatorship, and then replacing them with Esperanca-Friendly Regimes. While both parties advocate for Esperança taking a leadership role in the region, the PT pushes for a ''Pax Esperança'' achieved through using war as a last resort, the PSC pushes for a Pax through way of becoming the unchallengeable dominant military force in the region, similar to the United States of America on Earth in the 1990's.

== Esperançan Federal Armed Services ==
(Serviços com Armas Federais da Esperança, SAFE)

Formed in 2153 as a merger between the armed wing of the PTL and the Colonial Defense Force(Força da Defesa da Colônia), SAFE barely saw any use during the breakdown, merely acting to deal with the occasional pirate. Following recontact in 2178, SAFE was soon given a much needed shot in the arm, with the threat of posed by Che's military force necessitating a build up in case of hostilities. With its central location, Esperança played host to large concentrations of PACT naval vessels who resupplied in system, as well as numerous defense contractors who were interesting in gaining a technological edge. The Naval wing of the Armed Services, the Força do Espaço da Federais da Esperança(Esperança Federal Space Force, EFEF) is the most prestigious branch of SAFE, and saw the lion's share of combat during the war.

In modern times, SAFE considers itself to be the most well-trained and well-equipped military native to the Pacific Arm. Still riding high off their successes during war, SAFE has a high degree of popular support, and is well funded by the government and private citizens.

SAFE is divided into three branches, each with their own purpose and duty. The largest branch of SAFE is the Espaço da Federais da Esperança(Esperança Federal Space Force, EFEF), which is responsible for defending Esperanca and negating the ability of the enemy to wage war on the planet. The EFEF is mainly a carrier fleet, operating one full size fleet carrier (the ''Primeira Aterragem'', flagship of the EFEF), and two light carriers(''Bahia'' & ''Nana Buluku''); additional craft support is provided by the Humaitá-class Battleship ''Humaitá'', the four Riachuelo-class cruisers ''Riachuel'' ''Excelion'' ''Harvest Joy'' & ''Conde d'Eu'', and the four ''Esterro Bellaco'' class destroyers. The EFEF, despite a comparatively larger size to most space forces, is still in a process of rebuilding and strengthening itself: current projections estimate that four more ''Esterro Bellaco'' class ships are planned, along with atleast two more ''Bahia'' class vessels and another Humaitá.

The EFEF was the first PACT Nation to begin developing its own Combat Frames. This was done so in response to combat reports of Cheian Peltasts, and the rumors of much more powerful designs being developed on Kanon. A crash development program was started, with the end result being the first of the ''Big Cat'' series of Combat Frames: the FCF-83 Puma. Based on indigenous power-loader designs mixed with stolen Peltast parts, the Puma was a balanced and well performing machine-albeit one who's oversize fusion reactor made expensive. The Puma was quickly adopted by the EFEF, and then other UNASUR nations and colonies for their own defense forces, and can be still be found in service throughout the expanse today. However, even with the completion of the Puma, its successor was already being designed. Resembling an expanded and beefed up Puma with additional verniers and thrusters, the FCF-86 Ocelot(which entered service in 2186) was a step above and beyond the Puma. The Ocelot was the first Esperancan Combat Frame to feature the new Trans-Phase Laminate armor, as well as new Forced Fusion Propulsion; all in a package that was around the same size as the Puma, and Easier to control. The Ocelot was rushed into full mass production, and remains the standard mainline combat frame of the EFEF.

=== Military Ranks ===
All three branches of SAFE (The EFEF, The Ground Forces, SAFEGUARD), all share the same ranking systems. The commanding officer of all three branches is the President, serving as commander in-chief.

All three branches have the same enlisted ranks: starting with Soldado, then Cabo, then Terceiro-Sargento, then Segundo-Sargento, and finally Primeiro-Sargento. NCOs have the rank of Sublieutenant, which ranges in grades from fourth class(lowest) to first class(highest).

Officer ranks are also the same, with newly graduated officers having the rank of Aspirant. Above that, the scale goes as follows: Alferes(Ensign), Segundo-Tenente(Second Lieutenant), Primeiro-Tenente(First Lieutenant), Capitão(Captain), Major, Tenente-Coronel(Lieutenant Colonel), Coronel(Colonel, the highest rank of SAFEGUARD), Brigadeiro(Brigadier, EFEF)/General-de-Brigada(Brigade General, Army), Major-Brigadeiro(Brigadier Major, EFEF)/General-de-divisão(Divisional General, Army), Tenente-Brigadeiro-do-espaço(Space Lieutenant Brigadier, EFEF)/General-de-divisão(Army General, Army), Marechal-do-espaço(Space Marshal, EFEF)/Marechal(Marshal, Army).

The first Esperancan Combat Frame used in the war, the Puma was a well balanced design that matched up well with foreign designs. Based off of schematics stolen from Kanon and Che that were then improved by a team of engineers, the Puma's defining feature was its forced-fusion reactor and hardpoint, giving it an impressive range of flexibility. Exported from Esperanca to numerous other PACT and independent states, the version seen here is the war-era update of the venerable Puma in use by the EFE, the Puma-E. The Puma-E is an improvement on the original Puma's strengths: The Microfusion propulsion system has been replaced by a more powerful Forced-Microfusion system, the original Phase-Shift Laminate has been upgraded to the new Trans-Phase armor, and the Pulse gun was replaced with a Synchronous model.

The Puma was originally insulted by Core and Zodiac detractors alike, claiming that Esperanca didn't have the experience to make a combat-capable frame. The Puma's actions in the immediate pre-war era, especially in the numerous border skirmishes between the EFE and *Insert Che's Military Here* proved the detractors wrong, and the Puma served as the basis for numerous other PACT Combat Frames.

In 2186, the continuing souring of relations between ZOCU and the Core over financial issues, and UNASUR's anger at the repeated refusals of Che's leadership to remove its military forces from the planet of Cabarellas(renamed Malvinas by Che) and allow free elections, were quickly spiraling out of control. It looked as though war would break out at any given moment, and the Espaça Federal found its Puma model Combat Frame to be sorely lacking against the newer, more modern frames being deployed by Che. With the prospect of war on the horizon, a solution was needed to not only even the playing field with Che, but to ultimately surpass them. The first result of this project was the CF-86 Ocelot, which was an improvement over the Puma in all areas.

The Ocelot utilizes the same basic chassis of the earlier Puma, with increases in armor, maneuverability, and flexibility. The original Ocelot featured numerous advances in design, including a more robust frame that was actually more flexibile than the Puma's smaller frame, giving it greater melee capacity. The Current model of the Ocelot, the Ocelot-E, is a complete refit of the frame, replacing the Microfusion propulsion with Forced Microfusion propulsion from the Jaguar, Trans-Phase Shift Armor, and a new Synchronous Pulse Gun.

The first postwar combat frame designed on Esperança, the CF-95 Jaguar is the culmination of over a decade of Combat Frame development that started with the Puma. Over a meter taller than the Puma, the Jaguar was the first frame designed from the ground up with the results of the Native Dancer Project: an entirely redesigned Forced Fusion reactor(specially designed for the Jaguar, in order to compete with the Sarissa), Forced Microfusion Propulsion, Trans-Phase Laminate Armor, a Flash-Field Generator, and a Synchronous Beam Rifle. The Jaguar, because of it's technological advancement, is on the expensive side of things.

In comparison to the mecha it is most likely to encounter on the battlefield, The Jaguar simply outperforms them, giving in the nickname of "The Expanse's only Fifth Generation Combat Frame". Initial goals of the Jaguar's design team were to match the Sarissa's Mercurion thrusters on a 1/1 basis, which were more than met by the Dual Forced Microfusion Thrusters and Dual Forced Microfusion Verniers.

Zodiac&Core Critics alike have latched onto the Jaguar as being a white elephant design that isn't worth its cost, and doesn't perform as well as EFE Propaganda says it does in actual combat.

Designed near the end of the Jaguar's design cycle, the Grizzly Bear is a mid-range support frame, designed for both anti-ship and anti-mecha work. Based off the same frame as the Jaguar, the bear uses much of the same technologies as its sister frame, although it is slower than the Jaguar. The Bear's heavier armor makes up for its slowness

The first Esperancan Combat Frame used in the war, the Puma was a well balanced design that matched up well with foreign designs. Based off of schematics stolen from Kanon and Che that were then improved by a team of engineers, the Puma's defining feature was its forced-fusion reactor and hardpoint, giving it an impressive range of flexibility. Exported from Esperanca to numerous other PACT and independent states, the version seen here is the war-era update of the venerable Puma in use by the EFE, the Puma-E. The Puma-E is an improvement on the original Puma's strengths: The Microfusion propulsion system has been replaced by a more powerful Forced-Microfusion system, the original Phase-Shift Laminate has been upgraded to the new Trans-Phase armor, and the Pulse gun was replaced with a Synchronous model.

The Puma was originally insulted by Core and Zodiac detractors alike, claiming that Esperanca didn't have the experience to make a combat-capable frame. The Puma's actions in the immediate pre-war era, especially in the numerous border skirmishes between the EFE and *Insert Che's Military Here* proved the detractors wrong, and the Puma served as the basis for numerous other PACT Combat Frames.

In 2186, the continuing souring of relations between ZOCU and the Core over financial issues, and UNASUR's anger at the repeated refusals of Che's leadership to remove its military forces from the planet of Cabarellas(renamed Malvinas by Che) and allow free elections, were quickly spiraling out of control. It looked as though war would break out at any given moment, and the Espaça Federal found its Puma model Combat Frame to be sorely lacking against the newer, more modern frames being deployed by Che. With the prospect of war on the horizon, a solution was needed to not only even the playing field with Che, but to ultimately surpass them. The first result of this project was the CF-86 Ocelot, which was an improvement over the Puma in all areas.

The Ocelot utilizes the same basic chassis of the earlier Puma, with increases in armor, maneuverability, and flexibility. The original Ocelot featured numerous advances in design, including a more robust frame that was actually more flexibile than the Puma's smaller frame, giving it greater melee capacity. The Current model of the Ocelot, the Ocelot-E, is a complete refit of the frame, replacing the Microfusion propulsion with Forced Microfusion propulsion from the Jaguar, Trans-Phase Shift Armor, and a new Synchronous Pulse Gun.

The first postwar combat frame designed on Esperança, the CF-95 Jaguar is the culmination of over a decade of Combat Frame development that started with the Puma. Over a meter taller than the Puma, the Jaguar was the first frame designed from the ground up with the results of the Native Dancer Project: an entirely redesigned Forced Fusion reactor(specially designed for the Jaguar, in order to compete with the Sarissa), Forced Microfusion Propulsion, Trans-Phase Laminate Armor, a Flash-Field Generator, and a Synchronous Beam Rifle. The Jaguar, because of it's technological advancement, is on the expensive side of things.

In comparison to the mecha it is most likely to encounter on the battlefield, The Jaguar simply outperforms them, giving in the nickname of "The Expanse's only Fifth Generation Combat Frame". Initial goals of the Jaguar's design team were to match the Sarissa's Mercurion thrusters on a 1/1 basis, which were more than met by the Dual Forced Microfusion Thrusters and Dual Forced Microfusion Verniers.

Zodiac&Core Critics alike have latched onto the Jaguar as being a white elephant design that isn't worth its cost, and doesn't perform as well as EFE Propaganda says it does in actual combat.

Designed near the end of the Jaguar's design cycle, the Grizzly Bear is a mid-range support frame, designed for both anti-ship and anti-mecha work. Based off the same frame as the Jaguar, the bear uses much of the same technologies as its sister frame, although it is slower than the Jaguar. The Bear's heavier armor makes up for its slowness

Being primarily defended by national forces from Earth, most ZOCU worlds had no military tradition until the Breakdown and the founding of ZOCU in the early 2160s. Due to this isolation and a conscious desire to not copy the military traditions of Earth, entirely new dress uniforms were designed. While some worlds like Kanon went with their own local uniforms, the majority of ZOCU worlds went with an outfit heavily influenced by Londinium fashion aesthetics, with a specific color chosen unique to each world, making any international meeting of ZOCU soldiers a decidedly colorful event.

Standard Magnate suit. Given the superhuman prowess of most Magnate pilots, the Magnate Continuum's pilot suits were had reduced G-support over most modern flight suits, to reduce space and cost, as the suit itself was equipped with a very sophisticated medical system due to the exotic medical needs of the various types of genetically-boosted or cybernetically modified pilots on show in the Continuum military. Armored against spalling and light shrapnel, with an exceedingly sophisticated medical diagnostics system, the suit also acted as an interface system for vehicular DNI systems if the pilot was so equipped. Aleph suits had increasingly sophisticated features, including an autoeuthanization and sterilization system which did not prevent the eventual reverse-engineering of the technology.

Similar to dress uniforms, the suit's secondary colors are changed according to nationality for identification, although the majority of the suit remains black.

Standard Magnate suit. Given the superhuman prowess of most Magnate pilots, the Magnate Continuum's pilot suits were had reduced G-support over most modern flight suits, to reduce space and cost, as the suit itself was equipped with a very sophisticated medical system due to the exotic medical needs of the various types of genetically-boosted or cybernetically modified pilots on show in the Continuum military. Armored against spalling and light shrapnel, with an exceedingly sophisticated medical diagnostics system, the suit also acted as an interface system for vehicular DNI systems if the pilot was so equipped. Aleph suits had increasingly sophisticated features, including an autoeuthanization and sterilization system which did not prevent the eventual reverse-engineering of the technology.

Similar to dress uniforms, the suit's secondary colors are changed according to nationality for identification, although the majority of the suit remains black.

The Azadestan stuff will be removed as the nation doesn't exist anymore. --[[User:Andronicus|Andronicus]] 09:41, 22 September 2011 (PDT) 

==First Wave==

==Sarreva Theatre==

====Background====

"People of Sarreva, we have an enemy. And the enemy has a name."

It wasn't until two years after the first wave of attacks into the Sea of Solomon that any of the irregularly-conntected Rim powers began to seriously believe the idea of a large, organized invasion force pushing its way in from the Deep Beyond. Of the nations that would eventually form the League, Sarreva and Van der Teega were the deepest into the Rim and the first to recieve word of attacks on nearby worlds. The lingering echoes of the Eridanus campaigns of half a century before marhsalled fears of a resurgence of feral drone activity in the isolation of the Breakdown and built enough public will to begin defensive preparations. However it wasn't until a trickle of refugees fleeing towards the inner systems carried the first real accounts of the myterious invaders, whom they called Magnates. While the stories seemed entirely surreal, with dramatic living testament and some actual evidence, the accounts demanded to be taken seriously, although local governments were reluctant to believe they were in danger.

Early in 2162, the second Magnate push overwhelmed the defences of Miranda and Melian's Hope. While they proved doggedly resistant to pacification, efforts to defend the worlds ultimately failed. A number of limpdrive-equipped vessels were able to escape during the intial waves of attacks into the system and landed at Sarreva, where they provided the first military intelligence concerning the Magnates and the methods of their attacks. More disturbingly, it also solidified the near-mythical earlier accounts of monstrous acts performed on the captured populations by these invaders. From a vague threat, the Magnates were finally embodied as an entire civilization of extremist transhumanists, whose actions foreshadowed that their ultimate aims were beyond simple conquest or subjigation. They were out to eradicate the entire way of life of those they encountered and replace it with one that was entirely alien. The call to arms was finally sounded, and finally heeded.

Military strategists concluded that following loss of contact with Melian's Hope, that the Magnates already knew of the cluster of industrially powerful worlds that lay just beyond the Sea of Solomon, however action on Melian's Hope and Miranda would have confirmed to the invaders that at least some of these worlds were aware of their actions and were preparing to resist. A third wave of attacks was declared inevitable.

====The Eve of War====

Leading up to the middle of the decade, the timetable for any further Magnate actions was unknown and with negotiations for military alliance solidified between the neighboring worlds, plans were made for an eventual offensive into Magnate-held space as well as contingency plans for a pre-emptive strike by Magnate forces. The League as a whole knew, though, that they were badly unprepared for war and an attack would most likely come early. In past decades, local security was maintained by patrols from European Union. When the Breakdown struck, all able vessels withdrew back towards Earth, abandoning only a number of retired and derelect ships that had already been relegated to mothball yards. Some worlds were fortunate enough to have small local patrols that were marooned in-system, but by and large the vast majority of functional space-faring vessels were freighters and industrial ships that became stranded. But to have any chance of success against a Magnate attack, space-based forces would have to keep supply lines open to League worlds behind the lines and prevent Magnate reinforcements from isolating and eventually overpowering a besieged planet, no matter how well defended.

The crash-militarization that followed the formation of the League was the most epic project ever undertaken in Sarreva's short history, consuming all available resources and industry that had sat idle for the first years of the Breakdown. The recently formed Sarrevan high command began militarizing several asteroid, orbital and planetside locations and constructing defensive works as well as logistical infrastructure to refurbish and reactivate its mothballed Eridanus-era warships. In the interim until those ships became operational, any space-worthy freighter or industrial ship was armed. Cargo bays became missile bays, and long-obsolete technologies like electrochemical guns became the mainstay of the ad-hoc fleets for the simple fact that a ship didn't require a bigger power plant to use them.

By late 2163 news of Magnate movements in the Sea of Solomon alerted the beginnings of the invasion, and as expected the League was not yet ready to resist them. In the intervening years Sarreva had become a militarily powerful world, and although ground fortifications were largely complete its space fleet was almost entirely reliant on civilian craft. While the League General Council was reluctant to commit sizeable offworld forces to Sarreva's defence out of fear that the heavily defended world would be bypassed entirely and isolated, the Battle of Sarreva would be the first action for the Combined Fleet.

It was largely assumed that the Magnates possessed outdated and generally poor intelligence of the League worlds and most likely weren't aware of the extent of militarization, but the League Council agreed that even if the Magnates were aware, they could not afford to leave the frontier worlds with intact war industry or space forces behind their lines. This was particularly true in the case of Sarreva, where a sizeable fleet of formerly mothballed warships could be made eventually FTL-capable.

====The Attack on HGO-44====

The assault began in earnest in May, 2164, with a large-scale fleet engagement around a cluster of militarized mid-system asteroid bases known collectively as HGO-44. This installation protected Sarreva's mothballed warships as well as numerous construction yards, refueling stations and repair facilities constructed in the years before. Destroying or capturing it would have crippled Sarreva's defences, and possibly doomed the world to eventually fall. It was so important that the Sarrevan command had stripped planetary orbital defenses in order to boost those at HGO-44. It came as no surprise when the opening move of the war struck there.

In the close quarters of the asteroid complex, with local space transfixed by defensive fire from the fortifications and entire ship formations weaving about the massive rocks, fighting was chaotic and resistance frenzied. After little more than an hour losses began to mount, and with the possibility of a clean victory eliminated, Magnate forces disentangled themselves and exploited the chaos to withdraw before becoming completely committed. While many fleet facilities were damaged in the attack, the battle highlighted that Magnate ships weren't well suited to fight toe-to-toe with masses of overbuilt League ships. While disproportionate losses were inflicted on the Mangate forces, it's considered one of the greatest botches in the course of the war. If the defending forces had prevented the Magnates from escaping, they could have crippled the forces attacking Sarreva itself. Even in the light of retrospect though, the successful defence of HGO-44 and the mothball fleet without crippling losses marks it as a massive strategic victory in the face of a number of tactical blunders.

====The First Battle of Sarreva====

"You have to understand that there is no surrender to the Magnates. If we lose this, our nation is extinguished. For the sake of everything we've built, for the sake of your lives and the lives of your children I implore you to join the fight. Fight with anything. Fight with everything!"

Conventional wisdom from previous Magnate conquests suggested that once control of local space was lost, it was only a matter of time until masses of Magnate supersoliders, which had no equal in the Rim or anywhere else, eventually broke the back of conventional infantry and forced surrender. The Sarrevans had grimly acknowledged that a ground campaign would be horrific, but had made the hard decision that preserving the installations at HGO-44 was more important to the long-term campaign than preventing an initial landing.

Defensive actions over Sarreva itself in the opening day of the war were structured to deny orbital approaches over vital targets, but could not effectively blockade the planet. Unlike the attack on HGO-44, the battles over Sarreva itself became a series of isolated engagements as individual pockets of Magnate ships and landing craft attempted to punch through to objectives scattered all over the world. Space battles over Sarrevan cities were desperate and savage, but even in the face of heavy losses the Magnates were almost universally successful in punching through.

As they burned in towards their targets, assaulting Magnates came under intense fire from defensive guns and fortifications built in the militarization campaigns. Those that reached the ground near important centers were almost immediately engaged by waiting heavy armour and mechanized units. Magnate rearguard forces, support equipment, supplies and fabricators that dropped further into virgin territory landed mostly unscathed by contrast and were able to establish bases out of reach of the ground forces.

That first day sparked a decade of pitched, relentless and tenacious fighting. With masses of heavy armour and mechanized forces, the Sarrevan army was able to stem the tide of vat-grown replicants where no other had done so before. Given over fully into attrition warfare, the Battle of Sarreva became a bloody quagmire that consumed the lives of hundreds of thousands. With the League Combined Fleet still intact, the Magnates were never fully able to reinforce their assets despite constant skirmishing, nor prevent reinforcements from coming forward from the inner worlds.

====The Second Battle of Sarreva====

For the first three years of the war, the Sarrevan fleet had been incapable of preventing waves of Magnate reinforcements from landing. The untimely arrival of some of these surges had cost the Sarrevans dearly, culminating in the dramatic surprise attack and fall of the city of Vershire. It was not a sacrifice that was made lightly, and after entire campaigns of inconclusive skirmishes, running battles and deep space convoy raids, the modernized Sarrevan mothball fleet finally became operational. Centered around a number of lumbering Canopus class capital ships, the Sarrevan fleet was finally up to the task of taking the fight to the enemy.

With coordination efforts taking place between the League powers months beforehand, the first real offensives ran from September through October of 2167 and became known as the Second Battle of Sarreva. Well-established Magnate bases and a strong system presence proved tenacious opposition and both sides suffered heavy losses through a dozen individual engagements, however these were losses that the Magnates were unable to easily replace.

With the space corridors now hotly contested, the flow of Magnate material to Sarreva became irregular and League reinforcements increased. The Sarrevan army pressed their advantage and struck out at planetside cloning facilities and occupied cities in a massive campaign that simply became known as the '67 Push. While not as conclusive as the fleet engagements, it marked the first time since the beginning of the war that the whole of the Magnate front appreciably shrank.

While subsequent battles reversed many gains of the '67 offensives, the Second Battle of Sarreva marked a turning point in the war from that of a holding action, to a contest with the first real possibilities of Magnate defeat.

====The Third Battle of Sarreva====

"This is it, gentlemen. I've waited a decade to say this. We're ready. Begin the counterattack."

With Finnegan's Folley and Van der Teega refusing to break after long campaigns of their own and draining Magnate resources, it became clear by 2177 that the Magnate positions at Sarreva were vulnerable. Following the tenth League Summit in March, masses of space forces began moving forward from Minkowsky and Azadestan in preparation for the final assault to eradicate the Magnate presence at Sarreva.

By October of that year the battle was joined, and the largest combined fleet yet assembled crashed against the Magnate outer system fortresses and their defending ships in a series of battles from October 1 through October 15. Realizing they were ultimately doomed, all able Magnate forces began to withdraw towards Finnegan's Folley. In the midst of the battles on October 14, a theta-drive equipped Magnate resupply convoy made a daring run through the gauntlet of League warships to reach a besieged asteroid outpost believed to have been the last refuge of the Magnate system command group. While less than half of the attacking ships survived to escape, it's commonly believed they were able to extract the VIPs and flee before the complex and was bombarded and stormed only hours later.

Sweeps of the system for hidden outposts continued for weeks, but the end result was the total destruction of Magnate space assets that were unable to flee the system. Sarreva itself was declared liberated six months later, paving the way for a new offensive to relieve beleaguered Finnegan's Folley.

====Aftermath====

The numerous atrocities committed against the Sarrevan people and other League member states has forever etched in the public memory that the Magnates are a force of megalomaniacal evil. The Solomon Treaties that put an end to overt fighting were met with outrage, even though it was clear by the end of the Breakdown that the war had taken a terrible toll on the economical health of the League member-state, and they were ill-prepared to begin an offensive campaign into Magnate space. Sarrevan officials largely don't believe the peace will last, and that the Magnates will remain a threat so long as they exist.

==Van der Teega Theatre==

===The Invasion of Van der Teega ===

Van der Teega Militia 
Commanding Officer: Magnus Wichelman 

The Magnate Continuum's invasion of Van der Teega met with widespread and heavy resistance but the planet was unprepared for war and soon fell. Thousands of Van der Teegans, however, were able to flee the system and were among the first to provide warning to soon to be frontline worlds of Chatham's World, Saverra, and Ares. Amoungst these refugees were a considerable number of the planetary militia choosing to go into exile and continue to fight, instead of dying at their posts or melting into the woods.

'''The Second Battle for Van der Teega'''
(Summary and thoughts; by no means complete. Text in "[ and ]" is essentially a overview and placeholder for a developed narrative.) 

"Men and women of the Grand Fleet and Army. Today we begin the liberation of the conquered worlds and the invasion of Magnate Space itself. From here we shall turn our guns to More, the heart of their unholy disease." --- Fleet Admiral Willem van der Dussen. 

After the Battle of Midway the League Grand Fleet continued with its goal of reaching Dogma, or Van de Teega as all League records refer to the planet, and entered the system on August 20th 2179. Initial plans for the invasion called for the seizure of bases in orbit of the planet and the asteroid belt to prevent their use by the Magnate Space Fleet and to allow the Grand Fleet to establish a foothold in-system. Following the successful strategies that had characterized the war in Chatham's and Saverra it was hoped that after at the very least they could make any attempt to dislodge them prohibitively expensive for the increasingly loss sensitive Magnates, while on the other hand lowering the risks of losses for the increasingly loss sensitive League Central Committee. However during the burn in-system Fleet Admiral van der Dussen proposed a radical change in plan; they would make a run for the planet and begin the ground invasion at once. The Magnates, he explained, would expect them to do what the League and Magnates had been doing for the last fourteen years and such a radical shift in strategy would catch them off guard and before they had anymore time to prepare planetary defences. Post-war some had criticized the subsequent decision by the Council of War to compromise and do both; once intelligence had confirmed that their were no large Magnate space forces in the orbital zones the Grand Fleet was divided into a "Battle" group and a "Escort" group. The Battle group being tasked with the capture or destruction of Magnate bases and the Escort group covering the invasion transports. The risk to destruction en detail was considerable but this was taken into account as the entire fleet first hit the old Teegan Militia space fortress in orbit of the planet. 

'''The Battle for HPRS-2 Delta''' begun on August 22nd by a long range missile attack on the asteroid's exterior from the battleships of the Outremondan and Saverran Battle line. Under the cover of the attack Admiral Spica Glenn's task force struck the station and within minutes eight thousand Mink Zero-Gee marines were infiltrating the fortress using old Teegan Militia access points and holes blown into the armor. After eighteen hours of brutal zero-gee fighting the base fell and Admiral van der Dussen gave the signal for the liberation of his homeland to begin. Throughout the campaign the fortress would serve as the staging point for planetary landings and would shelter the transports. Space engineers rapidly turned the fortress back into its old self; the Grand Fleet had been specifically carrying huge laser cannon and mass-drivers to be installed on an asteroid or Luna surface to protect an anchorage. While their were no large Magnate ships present they had not abandoned the system; small ships made constant hit and run attacks on any exposed League ship and the fortress itself suffered multiple impacts from missiles launched on ballistic trajectories over the campaign. By August 27th, however, most of the Orbital space of the planet was considered secure and a great deal of Dogma's asteroid infrastructure was either in League hands or simply destroyed. Despite these successes the senior officers of the Fleet could not help but be concerned. It was only a matter of time before the Fleet they had faced at Midway would make a return, and no doubt the Magnates had chosen to give up orbital control of Van der Teega because they expected to return shortly. 

Initial landings succeeded beyond expectations and captured large beach heads. However, despite success, resistance from Dogmatic regular units were ferocious and it was apparent that the Dogma High Command is merely playing for time since they refused to become bogged down in defence of any particular objective. Several important cities and manufacturing zones were given up. The question is, what. Not long after the question was raised fanatic attacks on League positions by Dogma's own indoctrinated population, backed by the Dogmatic Army, and a general stiffening of defence lines across the front made it apparent that they had been playing for time to organize and move their new army into position. 

''I don't care if they're Van de Teegians or Dogmatics! Blast your way through that city!'' --- -Superior-General Kulinks, 34th League Combat Group. 

The effectiveness of this new army was beyond what League Intelligence or Analysts predicted. While post-war stereotypes of screaming masses of civilians with knives, clubs, and the odd small arm had some basis in reality do to a number of initial encounters or deliberate actions of Dogmatic Officers to cover their own attacks or retreats the majority of the "citizens" army past the first few days were well armed; Dogma had acted as a major supply hub for the invasion of the League and material was not something the planet lacked. Never the less the psychological impact was widespread and significant amoung the least experienced troops. The Van der Teegan Free Corps was the hardest hit and was pulled off the line after reports from its commander of "wide spread refusal to advance" in sectors where they were confronting the indoctrinated. The regular League soldiers, especially the bloodied formations from Saverra and Malzula, however were the ones that tended to just roll ahead chewing up opposing Light infantry relentlessly. The entire landing, while generally successful, did not lack in its share of near-disasters or failures some of which were caused by League troops inexperience in fighting in tropical environments.

''We're here to save these people. We can't just butcher them. Fall back.'' --- Major Reza Karn, 351st Grenadiers. 

The XI Outremondan Legion and the 4th "Bayonet" Division from Ares landing zones themselves came under relentless attack early on and did manage to secure themselves. They were however forced to retreat, the Bayonet Division to Orbit and the XI Legion thirty kilometers east through poorly cleared tropical forest to the Saverran zone, thanks to the massed attacks by indoctrinated troops supporting by Dogmatic and Dawnie troops moving into the area. Other units had been dropped outside their dropzones due to interference by Magnate aerospace forces and were either able to link up with friendly forces or in the case of three battalions of an Malzulan mechanized division right in the middle of rough terrain that soon became the full of indoctrinated troops. They were subsequently overrun. Because of these setbacks, and others, much of the second wave of the League ground forces were landed in existing zones or much closer to existing ones then originally planned. By the end of the second week of the invasion the rapid advance was halted at the town of Steenwijkerland when advance units of General Manfeld Kulinks XII Corps met with elements of the XXII Corps under (Dogmatic or Dawnie General here) outside of the town, starting the Battle of Steenwijkerland which would see the League advance on the regional capital of Zwolle halted. 

''For Dogma we live, For Dogma we die. Please try to understand, brother.'' Apocryphal Indoctrinated Soldier to member of the VdT Free Corps, ''The Folly of Opposition, 2183'' 

Logistical strain had increased to the point where League forces were running out of steam and the effective check at Steenwijkerland forced the first halt to "consolidate". After the Battle of Steenwijkerland the successes of the first two weeks could not be repeated as by this time the Magnate High Command had finished redeploying its forces to face the invaders; for much of the first week significant reserves were held back in case of landings elsewhere on the planet. By the time of Steenwijkerland the Dogmatic High Command, and Exarch Castar, decided that the League wasn't trying anything so ambitious and felt confident enough to shift forces away from now-secondary regions while maintaining the appearance of keeping well-guarded. Post-war it was determined through the publishing of several memoirs and the release of official files that many of the assumptions made by the League High Command about Magnate troop deployment were false due to literally thousands of fake soldiers (some of which wore quickly manufactured Replicant armor) and the usage of older or captured vehicles to simulate several whole armoured formations in areas garrisoned only by military police. While both sides prepared for the resumption of fighting the situation in Space had changed with the arrival of the Magnate Space Fleet from More. 

[On week three of the invasion the Magnate Fleet arrives in-system having underwent repair and reinforcement. (Persumably the loss of the Behemoth was accepted as likely permanent) While the Magnates on more then one occasion threaten a decisive fleet battle the Grand Fleet consistently attempts to avoid one. With their forces spread out to protect long supply lines through Midway to Ares and Outremonde and the need to defend their landing zones orbital zones Admiral Williams and Lebekin decide the risk is far too great, especially considering the Magnates would likely have a superiority of ships and smallcraft. 

"Surely they didn't expect we wouldn't defend our planet?" ---Fleet Arbitrator Sauer, during the arrival of the Magnate Fleet. 

The Grand Fleet and the Magnate Fleet engaged in many skirmishes and limited attacks on each other's positions. Eventually the League High Command determined that the cost of invading Dogma would be at this point be unacceptably high, as at this point in the war they were increasingly loss sensitive. These factors combined with the shock that they would not have a large planetary population to raise up against the Magnate occupation the decision to withdraw now, before they become unable to do anything other then engage in attrition warfare on what appears to be Magnate terms, was made. 

The withdraw generally succeeds even as more Magnate ground forces arrive on-planet and increase the pressure on the landing zones. 
The Grand Fleet is hampered by a need to protect a great many troop transports.] 

'''Aftermath''' 
After the withdrawal from Dogma the reality of any future attempt to liberate Dogma was made apparent. It would be a war of attrition against a population that seemed to support its Magnate government fanatically. While there were no illusions about ''why'' this was so the very fact served as a grave disappointment. Much of the pre-invasion planning hinged on large populations behind Magnate lines that could be relied on to act as a filth column or at the very least be disinterested. The failure of the invasion would lead to both sides to embrace the long-running peace process at Solomon rather then holding out for a battlefield victory to increase their bargaining power. 

Strategically it was a victory and defeat for all sides. The League had clearly shown its ability to take the War to the Magnates. While the Magnates had shown they were unable to make an attempt ''impossible'' they ensured that the League High Command was under no illusion that any invasion would entail enormous losses, and the possible destruction of the very peoples the League desired to liberate. The Magnate defence of Dogma shown that their homelands were in no danger of falling, a fact perhaps not entirely appreciated in the minds of their opponents or the most weary of their ranks but one certainly firmly believed as a fact, a fact no validated, in by those that made their policy. 

Both sides were exhausted but neither side was exhausted enough that a collapse seemed imminent. In total terms the single power that gained the most out of the Invasion was Dogma itself. It had empirical proof of its successful social policy and dashed the hopes of the League for a quick or easy reconquest of the planet while improving its status within the Magnate Alliance itself. Effectively they gained enormous security. 

Due to the voluntary withdraw by the League and the successful Magnate defence of the system (Both actions having only a relatively small cost to both sides effective war power) both sides could avoid characterizing the campaign as a defeat. Both therefore portrayed it as a victory to anyone who might listen. Happily for the peace process neither side could realistically portray it as a ''decisive'' victory to anyone but those who read their propaganda. Thus the invasion posed little in the way of a challenge to the peace process, which the long-suffering diplomats on Solomon considered a blessing.

====Billy's Stand====

''"Our home may be gone, for the moment, but the tides of history shall recede. As long as the League of Outer Stars maintains its strength the millions left behind in Magnate slavery still have hope. It is our duty to ensure that this flame of hope never goes out."'' --- Fleet Admiral Willem van der Dussen, Attributed before the Battle of Billy's Stand. 

Fleet Admiral Williams leads the rear-guard and not only successfully delays the Magnate pursuit but bleeds the Magnate Space Fleet. The Fleet Admiral gives his life in battle. Counted as a tactical Magnate victory but a strategic League victory.

=Finnegan's Folly=
(All Stuff Tentative for Peer Review)

'''Magnate Ground Forces (Early-War)''' 
Commander: Asset Realization Leader Charles Starborn
: 1st-8th Alshain Volunteer Regiments
: Replicant Assault Forces

==Initial Invasion==
The success of the Miranda pacification led to an attempt to the repeat the same efficient, successful offensive action on the world of Finnegan's Folly. The disorganized colony, often embroiled in a dozen minor secretarian wars and with a nonexistent central government, looked on the surface to be easily taken.

Initial landings met little to no resistance, and a provisional government was installed with little issue, with only a few hundred losses total, the majority Series VIIs. This illusory victory made the Eternal Dawn's then-militia overconfident, and quite a few forces were diverted off to other theaters. This would later prove to be a deadly mistake. The Dawn had expected that the individualist attitudes of Finnegan would neuter any effective resistance the inhabitants would put up, and furthermore its analysts had dismissed as exceedingly unlikely that an effective leader would be capable of uniting the populace against it. An event on that scale was considered to be something that would happen perhaps every several hundred years, minimum.

Unfortunately, barely six months into the invasion, that leader appeared, a stroke of serendipity for the planet.

==The Dragon of Finnegan==
Johnathan O'Connor, known early in his life as "Jawsmasher" and later as the man who united Finnegan's Folly under one banner for the longest time it had ever been united, was an unlikely leader and unifying presence. A tough-talking hard-bitten miner, he had a natural charisma and a sharp mind. Combined with his technical education, his legendary raids and escapades inspired many, and his presence inspired more. Initially starting with a small group of followers, he dedicated himself to throwing out the Magnate presence in his town, which he did so with great relish.

This was not unexpected-the Dawn had suffered setbacks of this sort before. However, SOP was to come back in with overwhelming force, and that was stymied by his example, and his pirate messages, inspiring others to do similarly.

===Martyrdom===
'''To:''' Psychological Operations Commander Elena Cortez, 1st Volunteer Regiment Commander Douglas Schaefer 
'''Cleared By:''' Asset Realizations Leader Charles Starborn 
'''Orders:''' 
You are hereby tasked to assemble a team to:
* Locate the Dragon of Finnegan, Johnathan O'Connor
* Localize his primary base of support, including civilians with close ties to him
* Simultaneously eliminate all of his primary supporters and
* Modify the resulting media such that his postmortem effect is minimized, or preferably, negated.

The Alshain Volunteer Regiments were made of hard-bitten veteran insurgents and terrorists, people who could play the same game O'Connor did and play it as well, and although they lacked charisma and native sympathy they had the advantage of extensive enhancement. The 1st was particularly modified, virtually 100% exhumans with a high level of synthetic grafts and genetic tweaking, barely classifiable as human.

Psychological Warfare quickly localized the organized resistance movement to Johnathan O'Connor, and with permission from leadership, worked with the 1st to eliminate him and undo his work.

==Insurgency And Occupation==
The martyrdom of the Dragon of Finnegan would have later consequences down the line, but it had been too late and far too little. With a superior psychological warfare operation in place it would have worked, but the Alshain volunteers were too used to being the underdog rather than the superior invading force to be truly effective against them. Whereas their brutality against collaborators worked when they were fighting for their home, it backfired against the hard men of Finnegan's Folly. Although they respected strength and the power to do violence, neither were they particularly cowed by it, used to the constant warfare of their planet.

A decades-long arms race started between the Dawn and the locals. The locals learned to fight the exhumans where their advantages meant little, learned to use the low intellect and autonomy of the early Series VIIs as a tool to win, assisted by soldiers from the League and tools they provided. The Dawn upgraded its soldiers and its doctrine. Many of the Dawn's enhanced veterans gained their first major enhancement grafts when they were crippled by IEDs on Finnegan's Folly, choosing upgrade instead of regeneration treatments.

If the war had continued unabated, without the rest of the League to interfere, the inhabitants of Finnegan's Folly would never have won. But the other fronts were similarly brutal wars, and the units on Finnegan's Folly had the honor of being the Eternal Dawn's test subjects for warfare-oriented upgrades, but also the detriment of having a technically pacified world, rather than the brutal meatgrinders of other stalled invasions. They had to make do with what they had, a hodgepodge of untested prototypes and outdated weapons.

The moment the insurgency reared its vicious head, it gave credence to the ex-Alshain soldiers and the hardened warriors of the Chinese exhuman insurgency's call for an independent military, rather than just bioroids and volunteer militia. The restructuring took time to draft up doctrines and bureaucracy, and more time to train reinforcements, but in a mere handful of years the Dawn had a semi-professional fighting force, and in very little time on Finnegan that force was hardened into a very professional one.

But the united Finnegan was a tough nut to crack. The rebels quickly learned to stay away from forests, where the Dawn's life experience gave them an edge in counterinsurgency, and do their fighting from the craggy mountain ranges. They rapidly learned how to build IEDs to disable even the superhumanly tough Series VIIs, learned their blind spots and methods, and learned to ''survive''.

With the Dawn units on Finnegan's often understrength, it was never possible for the commanders of the Templars to ever manage to score a decisive blow against the insurgency and shatter it. It was a slow war of attrition. Either the Dawn would eventually kill enough of the experienced insurgents so that there would be no effective resistance, or the insurgency would manage to tie up the soldiers on Finnegan for long enough that they could be relieved by actual ground forces.

==Aftermath==
Had Johnathan O'Connor survived the assassination, perhaps Finnegan would be in a much different position today. But after the peace accords, the unified front broke apart again, into dozens of small survivalist towns.

===Raid on Rebirth ===
'''May 2175''' 
'''Result:''' Disaster 

'''Forces''' 

'''Outremonde Commonwealth''' 
Commanding Officers: Captain Hierius Kriijecks, Senior Tribune Harry Lulsury
:512nd Reconnaissance Company, 25-man detachment from OEST

'''Backdrop''' 
From 2173 onwards League Intelligence had been benefiting from the capture of several Magnate senior-officers and the defections of several key personal; while the debriefing of captured officers provided a nominal amount of information the defection of [classified] and [classified], afterwards called TRUMPET and LUCY, on purely personal motives provided a wealth of previously unknown facts about Magnate Society and Politics but details on research infrastructure which had eluded normal League intelligence operations for years. TRUMPET for example provided some of the details of the new Series Dawnie Replicant and LUCY the specifications for late-war [classified]. The sum of the knowledge was in all accounts probably no greater then what Magnate Intelligence was gathering on the League through its own coups. Combined TRUMPET and LUCY were able to point out the location of one of the major Replicant development centers on Rebirth, and with their usefulness as information sources coming to a end it was determined to act on discovery of the center. (From "Magnate Defectors: The Shocking Truth" and "Magnate Collaboraters: The Secret Treason" by Edward White and "The Silent War" by Victoria Ross) 

Politically the League policy makers were in debate over the course of the planned counter-attack. One line of thinking held out for an offensive towards Magnate Space via Miranda. While ultimately rejected due to distance concerns the same policymakers approved a raid on Rebirth which would not only destroy a important Dawnie research base but provide a enormous morale raising victory. Unfortunately only Outremonde's chief of Strategic Operations endorsed the operation which his counterparts backing out. After some lobbying General Bellgarde managed to convince the Coordinator to authorize the raid using only the resources of the Commonwealth. 

'''Execution''' 
In short order the ONS ''Protagoras'' was assigned to the mission along with a small elite strike force. The ''Protagoras'' was a specially refitted Congress-class cruiser. Its hull was covered in radar absorbing foam while its lines were modified to present the smallest radar cross-section as possible. In addition it had several bays in which a dozen insertion landing-pods could be launched or recovered. Due too the nature of its modifications only internal weapon bays were retained leaving the ship entirely reliant on its engines and stealth capabilities to evade detection. But most importantly was the installation of a fully functioning priceless pre-breakdown Jump Drive which in a stroke allowed the Protagoras to literally outrun pursuit from the regular space fleets of both the Magnates and League once it made a jump. 

After a particularly vigorous series of raids on Magnate frontline bases and positions Captain Kriijecks slipped through odd Magnate patrols in the Sonmi system and taking the long route via S-147 to Rebirth. Entering the outer system Kriijecks, "[I] endeavored to avoid Magnate Space Forces by taking a ballistic course towards the inner system for five days and then after De Gussein [his navigator] determined the best jump-zones to take us close enough to the planet that we could drift towards our launch point in only a few days, with a minimum of risk of being detected. Each hour was nerve straining. Each moment we expected to be detected and attacked but the enemy never came close. Finally when it was time to let loose the flock [the pods] we breathed a sigh of relief. We expected none of them to return and that our wait to be a short one."

The Battle of Finnegan's Folly was the defining event of the Magnate war: very long, very slow, and ambiguous in result. League ships and fabricators began trickling into the system through the month of June and it rapidly became apparent to the quagmired Magnates that their position was untenable. They accelerated plans to activate and evacuate the Citadel and departed with it in the early days of July, mere hours before the League fleet breached their defenses and reached Near Orbit in force. The Magnates, having limited FTL capability deployed the bulk of the Fleet assets of the Expeditionary Force in the system in a desperate holding action to contain advancing League forces, while remaining fleet assets escorted the Citadel out of the system.

The battle left the Magnates with a significantly diminished Expeditionary Force, but they had achieved their strategic objectives. In the wake of the battle and the other concluding actions of the war, neither side could marshal enough force and transport to initiate a new operation before the Breakdown ended and the threat of Core support forced the Magnates to abandon their plans for conquest.

==About Esperança ==

Officially the ''Comunidades Federadas de Esperança'', Esperança is the ruling government of Esperança, the large earthlike moon of the São Galvão gas giant. While most of the population resides on Esperança, the planet's orbital infrastructure does contain a sizable population, mostly clustered in habitats at the top of the Céu-Coluna Orbital Elevator. The colony's fertile soil and vast, wide open spaces have made it a prime location for food production. Located at the hub of multiple jump-routes, Esperança has a fairly large population at 42 million people, and has extensive 0g and ground based industries and power infrastructure, as well as what some consider to be one of the top tier non-earth military forces in the Pacific Arm, a reputation gained from their experiences during the ZOCU war; the backbone of Esperança's military might is the Espaça Federal da Esperança(Esperança Federal Spacy, EFE). Esperança is one of the main voices of opposition in PACT to both ZOCU and the Libertadors, as well as one of the most diplomatically and involved nations of the pacific arm.

===Climate and Geography===
Esperanca is the largest and most habitable moon of São Galvão, and orbits in just the right way to recieve enough sunlight from Lusitania and enough background radiation from São Galvão to enjoy a temperate, vegetation friendly climate. Seeded eons ago by the Precursors, Esperanca's native life while not earth-related, is sufficiently close enough that there were no difficulties in habitation by humanity. The planet's gravity is actually slightly higher than earth-standard, but due to various environmental factors, it does not cause much problems for baseline humans. Most of Esperanca's soil is highly fertile, allowing the small farming communes which contain most of the planet's population to produce large amounts of food. The average Esperancan year is roughly 1.5 earth years, while it takes Esperanca three months to make a full orbit of São Galvão.

====System Astrography====
'''Lusitania HD 37124''' is a G4V yellow dwarf, approximately 108 LY away from earth, somewhat smaller, cooler and younger than Sol. It is located along the PACT arm of the Sphere; the interstellar catapult path reached it in 2178.

'''Da Silva (HD 37124b)''' is the first planet out from Lusitania. Massing in at 0.61 Mj, it orbits at 0.53 AU for a period of 156 earth days. Granma is classified as a Jovian planet, and has numerous uninhabited moons.

'''São Galvão (HD 37124c)''' is the second planet of the Lusitania system. A Jovian planet like its sisters, Sao Galvao has a mass of more than twice that of Saturn, and its position 1.22 AU away from the star means that it is directly in the habitable zone. Sao Galvao has 40 moon sized celestial objects in orbit, one of which is currently inhabited. The planet also has nine rings consisting of ice particles, debris, and dust. The lack of a strong magnetic field around the planet itself, combined with its position on the jump network and its easily accessible Helium 3 reserves made its moons a strong contender for colonization.

'''Vargas (HD 37124d)'''

=== History ===

==== Discovery Era [2083-2086] ====
The system that would officially be named Lusitania(After the ancient name for Portugal) by its inhabitants was originally cataloged as part of the Henry Draper Catalog as HD 37124, a G-type main sequence star similar to Sol, approximately 108 light-years away. Pre-determined in 2005 to have at least three planets all within the star's habitable zone(eventually all realized to be Jovian planets with large amounts of moons). The first human entry to the system was on January 1st 2083 by the ''Challenger-Class'' DSS ''Álvares Cabral''. Although lacking any true inner-terrestrial planets, and with HD 37124 b and HD 37124 d being too hot and too cold respectively(according to ancient discoveries of exoplanets), and with HD 37124 c only having a slim possibility of having a habitable moon, the system was one of the first star systems explored inside the Brazilian-claimed sector. The truth of the system, however, was a complete shock.

Vastly differing from the expected barely inhabitable system HD 37124 was predicted to be, first hand exploration revealed that the system was incredibly habitable, and more than prime for colonization. Although the star itself was somewhat dimmer than Sol, evidence suggests that HD 37124c was actually nudged closer in the distance past, changing its believed distance from the star (combined with inaccurate data) from 1.64 AU to 1.22 AU, close enough for it's many moons to be habitable after terraforming and seeding by the precursors.

Officially named São Galvão, the gas giant's moons were explored for two years by the Alvares and the ''Galileo-class'' planetary exploration ship ''Rafael Perestrello''. At the end of the initial survey, the results were in: out of Sao Galvao's 40 moons, the most habitable one was also the largest: Esperança, a roughly earth sized, terracompatible moon in a stable orbit. The remaining would be habitable with application of terraforming techniques, or were otherwise too hot or too deadly to be considered for anything other than mining. Following intense and heated negotiations and bidding on the colonization rights, ownership of the system was handed over to the Brazilian government.

The first wave of colonists on-board the colony ships ''Empress Maria'' and ''Emperor Pedro'', accompanied by the ''General Secretary-class'' ship the ''Javier Pérez de Cuéllar'' arrived in early 2086, carrying one million and twenty thousand colonists. The two colony ships made landfall near the coastal equatorial regions of Esperança, founding the first city and what would later become the capital of the nation, ''Primeira Aterragem'' (First Landing).

==== Colonization Era & The Esperançan Civil War [2101-2151] ====
In the first two decades after the founding of the colony, more and more transport ships arrived in system, carrying colonists and equipment from earth. With its favorable climate and biosphere combined with its stellar position(Which offset the low amounts of Delta Dust), Esperança rapidly grew in population, with its industry and economy rising alongside it. Alongside the rapid population growth, there was a rise in anti-transgene feeling on the colony, leading to a series of laws to prevent the rise of any sizable transgenic group. During this time, Roman Catholic churches in Brazil also began to migrate to Esperança, with the first finished cathedral on the planet being completed in 2110. Like Brazil, Esperança has a large population of European, Asian, and African descended citizens,with most of them self-identifying as Brazilian or Esperança.

By the year 2140, Esperança was a rich and prosperous colony, with a burgeoning cultural identity. The Orbital Elevator that ''Primeira Aterragem'' was built around, the ''Céu-Coluna'', had been completed, linking up to the ''Céu-Coluna Counterweight Station'' which served as the main center of orbital industry and commerce for the colony. The construction of experimental power stations in orbit, meant to harness power from the tidal stresses generated by São Galvão, were both fully operational and proving the feasibility of the process, with plans in motion for construction of additional power plants to provide cheap and clean power. A technologically advanced and mature system of orbital power, communication, and habitation satellites filled Esperançan space; and the new ''Estaleiro Novo do Titã'' shipyards had just launched the luxury liner ''Da'Cruze''. However, heavy taxes imposed by Brazil's federal government, and a lack of representation were still problems that would soon boil over.

Unfortunately, all was not peaceful. As the colony's population grew, and it became more and more self sufficient, tensions between the earth-based colonial administration and Esperançan colonists began to sour. Although a majority of Esperançans favored the status quo, that number was shrinking more and more as a loose coalition of pro-independence forces, calling themselves the ''Partido Trabalhista para a Liberdade'' (Workers Party for Freedom) or PTL, gained more and more members as popular opinion swung against the increasingly conservative and reactionary Brazilian government. As the calender moved forward into 2140, things were reaching a head.

On April 1st of 2140, during a peaceful protests in the city of ''Refúgio da Liberdade'' against unfair taxation and no political representation, as well as against the refusal of the government to subsidize healthcare for colonists, things got heated when Brazilian Military Police boxed protesters in. From there, the police refused to let the crowd move, effectively holding them captive which had the effect of causing tempers to flare; this led to someone throwing a rock at an officer, and things spiraled out of control, with the MP's brutally arresting all of the protesters. The widespread news coverage of the crackdown ignited the tensions brewing among the colonists, causing riots to break out, as well as the PTL leaping into action. Along with local military units, partisan forces, and the chaos of the so called "April Fool's Rage", the PTL managed to not only seize the majority of the rural farming communes and small towns from Loyalist forces, but also seized the ''Estaleiro Novo do Titã'' shipyards as well as Céu Calmo BFA. As the day dawned on April 2nd, the stage was set for the Civil war, which would last from its start in April 2140, to its abrupt end in 2151. The war itself, while longlasting, was fairly tame compared to the Corporate War on Haraway, and most of the fighting took place in either 2141, 2145, or just at the beginning of the breakdown in 2143.

==== Breakdown Era [2152-2180] ====
Esperança was one of the furthest of UNASUR's colonial holdings, and without a catapult, the colony was cut off from earth with the onset of the breakdown. Although the civil war continued to wage on till 2153, with mop-up operations continuing into the following year, both the PTL and the colonial government knew that things needed to change if the isolated colony was to survive. Negotiating a cease-fire, the PTL officially disbanded their armed wing, which was integrated into the newly formed Serviços com Armas Federais da Esperança (commonly referred to by its acronym, SAFE). Funding that was previously slated for military forces was dedicated entirely to getting Esperança on its feet. Already nearing self sufficiency before the start of the civil war, the colony was able to become fully functional within a decade, partially due to new breakthroughs in science and technology, and thanks to policies enacted by the Worker's Party, had managed to become remarkably self-sufficient and capable when recontacted by Brazilian Naval Vessels in 2178, similar to ZOCU (Albeit without the use of posthuman bootstrapping)

While recontact was initially tense, the developing situation with the Zodiac Outworlds Colony Union and the Alliance of Che and Liberacion proved to be the thing that saved Esperança from annexation. While independently-minded, the bioconservative and fairly liberal nature of the nation led to a rapid souring of relations between ZOCU and Esperanca, especially when more details on Kanon and other "Offensive" ZOCU nations, such as Haraway, became known to the general public.

==== ZOCU War Era [2180-2188] ====
As tensions between the core and ZOCU began to boil over, it looked as though UNASUR and its colonies would be left out of any conflict with the so called "Zodiacs". This perception was absolutely shattered when, in 2182, a military force from Che, with support from Zodiac nations, seized control of the colony world Carabellas, renaming it Malvinas. With what was effectively a Sword of Damocles hanging above its head, it was obvious that Esperança, with its strategic position just four jumps away from Malvinas would play a major role in any future conflicts. Starting in 2183, the Programa Federal da Modernização do Equipamento dos Serviços com Armas (Federal Armed Services Equipment Modernization Program) program was instituted to research and develop advanced weapons and technologies to place Esperancan forces on the same level as the ZCM and the combined militaries of Che, Liberacion, and Malvinas,; along with an increase in the military's funding. From 2183 to 2186, SAFE saw a massive increase in the number of FTL capable vessels laid down and launched. With the likelihood that aerospace forces would be required to operate on many fronts much like in the civil war thirty years past, it was decided to invest in the development of new aerospace fighters and combat frames. Formally rolled out in 2183, the CF-83 Puma served throughout the entire war, and is the basis for all Esperançan Combat Frames.

Small-scale skirmishing between the EFE and Che's military was a standard practice, with by 2187, kept from spiraling into a larger war by the perceived superiority of PACT's naval forces. However in late 2186 the campaigns on Kanon and Choson, which were both defeats for Core-aligned forces, emboldened Che's military leadership. With tacit material support from ZOCU nations (ZOCU is also suspected by Esperanca to have sent pilots and advanced frames to Che during the war), Che launched Operation Granma, their attempt to knock out Esperanca's orbital industry. While expecting the battle to be a repeat of earlier ZOCU successes, the more well prepared UNASUR Combined fleet in system was able to intercept and drive off Che's fleet, with Esperancan Combat Frames dogfighting their Cheian counterparts. The remainder of the war was comprised of back and forth fleet battles and skirmishing, with the occasional planetary raid.

Che's overt hostility to Esperanca, as a result of the history shared between the two planets, as well as the brutal back-and-forth fighting in space, and the inconclusive end to the war, created an attitude of betrayal and anger among Esperancans. Having only recently been recontacted by Earth before the war, and with most of the populace having no idea of the causes of Che's justified anger towards UNASUR, the second time that war came to Esperanca seemed to be a hostile act by not just Che's military dictatorship, but a coordinated move by the Zodiac Separatists to destroy a bio-conservative pro-PACT nation. This lead to, while the ZOCU war was seen in most other places as a reconquista, it being seen on Esperanca was a valid war of defense against the overt aggressive policies of both Che's government and the Zodiac Outworlds Colony Union; as well as a massive increase in Bioconservative and Hawkish leanings within Esperanca's populace and Government. Indeed, the common "on The Street" viewpoint of ZOCU is highly negative towards them, with most citizens in favor of preemptive strikes by SAFE to remove the threat poised by Che and ZOCU.

==== Postwar Era [2188-2195] ====

In the years following the ZOCU War, Esperança has seen moderate growth in both the size of the SAFE and in the capabilities of its native industry. Still sore from being politically restrained by UNASUR, but burgeoning with prestige from its performance in the war, Esperança is beginning to act on its new position in the expanse. Though considered "imperialistic" and "Expansionist" by some commentators, the actions of SAFE in ensuring the security of its neighbors, the Expanse, and the Rim is generally seen to be a positive thing by most people; although there has been some discontent on certain rim worlds at the attempts of Esperança to play police.

=== Politics ===

While classified as a Representative Democracy, the Comunidades Federadas de Esperança's democratically elected government is unique in its organization. At the lowest level of government, which under the Esperancan system is considered to be the local governments of small towns and other communities, decisions are made by councils composed of local community leaders which hold weekly meetings on important issues to allow members of the community to have a more direct involvement with local governance. A step up from that is County Governance, in which the various community councils of the counties send one member elected by their community to represent the people at the County Council. The County Council is similar to the small-town councils, excepting for the lack of public involvement in the bi-monthly meetings.The next level of governance is the March, which is a collection of Counties. The General Assembly of the Federation is a twp house body, composed of three different bodies: The Commons, which is made up of 400 delegates elected in a proportional-representative style election; and the The House of Representatives, which is made up of 100 elected representatives. The Populace directly elects the President and Vice President, who nominates his choices for cabinet to be voted on by the General Assembly.

Generally speaking, Esperançan politics tend to be strongly leftist-socialist, with a not-inconsiderate influence from bioconservative and populist factions. Currently, the absolute majority of seats in the senate and chamber of deputies is controlled by two major parties: the Worker's Party(Partido dos Trabalhadores, PT), the successor to the Partido Trabalhista para a Liberdade and the head of the Liberal Bloc; and the Christian Socialist Party (Partido Socialista Cristão, PSC), the head of the centrist-bloc. Whilst the PT advocate a softer approach to international relations, generally pushing to have the SAFE expand its commitments to protect ASEAN worlds and outreach to independent powers (namely Valera) in order to render the threat of Che and ZOCU nonexistant; the PSC prefers a far more aggressive approach, namely using the military might and advanced technology of Esperança, along with SAFE's considerable operational capacity, to strong-arm independents into siding with PACT and then engage ZOCU and Che in a final war, aimed at dismantling the current political structure of the ZOCU organization and Che's military dictatorship, and then replacing them with Esperanca-Friendly Regimes. While both parties advocate for Esperança taking a leadership role in the region, the PT pushes for a ''Pax Esperança'' achieved through using war as a last resort, the PSC pushes for a Pax through way of becoming the unchallengeable dominant military force in the region, similar to the United States of America on Earth in the 1990's.

== Esperançan Federal Armed Services ==
(Serviços com Armas Federais da Esperança, SAFE)

Formed in 2153 as a merger between the armed wing of the PTL and the Colonial Defense Force(Força da Defesa da Colônia), SAFE barely saw any use during the breakdown, merely acting to deal with the occasional pirate. Following recontact in 2178, SAFE was soon given a much needed shot in the arm, with the threat of posed by Che's military force necessitating a build up in case of hostilities. With its central location, Esperança played host to large concentrations of PACT naval vessels who resupplied in system, as well as numerous defense contractors who were interesting in gaining a technological edge. The Naval wing of the Armed Services, the Força do Espaço da Federais da Esperança(Esperança Federal Space Force, EFEF) is the most prestigious branch of SAFE, and saw the lion's share of combat during the war.

In modern times, SAFE considers itself to be the most well-trained and well-equipped military native to the Pacific Arm. Still riding high off their successes during war, SAFE has a high degree of popular support, and is well funded by the government and private citizens.

SAFE is divided into three branches, each with their own purpose and duty. The largest branch of SAFE is the Espaço da Federais da Esperança(Esperança Federal Space Force, EFEF), which is responsible for defending Esperanca and negating the ability of the enemy to wage war on the planet. The EFEF is mainly a carrier fleet, operating one full size fleet carrier (the ''Primeira Aterragem'', flagship of the EFEF), and two light carriers(''Bahia'' & ''Nana Buluku''); additional craft support is provided by the Humaitá-class Battleship ''Humaitá'', the four Riachuelo-class cruisers ''Riachuel'' ''Excelion'' ''Harvest Joy'' & ''Conde d'Eu'', and the four ''Esterro Bellaco'' class destroyers. The EFEF, despite a comparatively larger size to most space forces, is still in a process of rebuilding and strengthening itself: current projections estimate that four more ''Esterro Bellaco'' class ships are planned, along with atleast two more ''Bahia'' class vessels and another Humaitá.

The EFEF was the first PACT Nation to begin developing its own Combat Frames. This was done so in response to combat reports of Cheian Peltasts, and the rumors of much more powerful designs being developed on Kanon. A crash development program was started, with the end result being the first of the ''Big Cat'' series of Combat Frames: the FCF-83 Puma. Based on indigenous power-loader designs mixed with stolen Peltast parts, the Puma was a balanced and well performing machine-albeit one who's oversize fusion reactor made expensive. The Puma was quickly adopted by the EFEF, and then other UNASUR nations and colonies for their own defense forces, and can be still be found in service throughout the expanse today. However, even with the completion of the Puma, its successor was already being designed. Resembling an expanded and beefed up Puma with additional verniers and thrusters, the FCF-86 Ocelot(which entered service in 2186) was a step above and beyond the Puma. The Ocelot was the first Esperancan Combat Frame to feature the new Trans-Phase Laminate armor, as well as new Forced Fusion Propulsion; all in a package that was around the same size as the Puma, and Easier to control. The Ocelot was rushed into full mass production, and remains the standard mainline combat frame of the EFEF.

=== Military Ranks ===
All three branches of SAFE (The EFEF, The Ground Forces, SAFEGUARD), all share the same ranking systems. The commanding officer of all three branches is the President, serving as commander in-chief.

All three branches have the same enlisted ranks: starting with Soldado, then Cabo, then Terceiro-Sargento, then Segundo-Sargento, and finally Primeiro-Sargento. NCOs have the rank of Sublieutenant, which ranges in grades from fourth class(lowest) to first class(highest).

Officer ranks are also the same, with newly graduated officers having the rank of Aspirant. Above that, the scale goes as follows: Alferes(Ensign), Segundo-Tenente(Second Lieutenant), Primeiro-Tenente(First Lieutenant), Capitão(Captain), Major, Tenente-Coronel(Lieutenant Colonel), Coronel(Colonel, the highest rank of SAFEGUARD), Brigadeiro(Brigadier, EFEF)/General-de-Brigada(Brigade General, Army), Major-Brigadeiro(Brigadier Major, EFEF)/General-de-divisão(Divisional General, Army), Tenente-Brigadeiro-do-espaço(Space Lieutenant Brigadier, EFEF)/General-de-divisão(Army General, Army), Marechal-do-espaço(Space Marshal, EFEF)/Marechal(Marshal, Army).

==About Esperança ==

Officially the ''Comunidades Federadas de Esperança'', Esperança is the ruling government of Esperança, the large earthlike moon of the São Galvão gas giant. While most of the population resides on Esperança, the planet's orbital infrastructure does contain a sizable population, mostly clustered in habitats at the top of the Céu-Coluna Orbital Elevator. The colony's fertile soil and vast, wide open spaces have made it a prime location for food production. Located at the hub of multiple jump-routes, Esperança has a fairly large population at 42 million people, and has extensive 0g and ground based industries and power infrastructure, as well as what some consider to be one of the top tier non-earth military forces in the Pacific Arm, a reputation gained from their experiences during the ZOCU war; the backbone of Esperança's military might is the Espaça Federal da Esperança(Esperança Federal Spacy, EFE). Esperança is one of the main voices of opposition in PACT to both ZOCU and the Libertadors, as well as one of the most diplomatically and involved nations of the pacific arm.

===Climate and Geography===
Esperanca is the largest and most habitable moon of São Galvão, and orbits in just the right way to recieve enough sunlight from Lusitania and enough background radiation from São Galvão to enjoy a temperate, vegetation friendly climate. Seeded eons ago by the Precursors, Esperanca's native life while not earth-related, is sufficiently close enough that there were no difficulties in habitation by humanity. The planet's gravity is actually slightly higher than earth-standard, but due to various environmental factors, it does not cause much problems for baseline humans. Most of Esperanca's soil is highly fertile, allowing the small farming communes which contain most of the planet's population to produce large amounts of food. The average Esperancan year is roughly 1.5 earth years, while it takes Esperanca three months to make a full orbit of São Galvão.

====System Astrography====
'''Lusitania HD 37124''' is a G4V yellow dwarf, approximately 108 LY away from earth, somewhat smaller, cooler and younger than Sol. It is located along the PACT arm of the Sphere; the interstellar catapult path reached it in 2178.

'''Da Silva (HD 37124b)''' is the first planet out from Lusitania. Massing in at 0.61 Mj, it orbits at 0.53 AU for a period of 156 earth days. Granma is classified as a Jovian planet, and has numerous uninhabited moons.

'''São Galvão (HD 37124c)''' is the second planet of the Lusitania system. A Jovian planet like its sisters, Sao Galvao has a mass of more than twice that of Saturn, and its position 1.22 AU away from the star means that it is directly in the habitable zone. Sao Galvao has 40 moon sized celestial objects in orbit, one of which is currently inhabited. The planet also has nine rings consisting of ice particles, debris, and dust. The lack of a strong magnetic field around the planet itself, combined with its position on the jump network and its easily accessible Helium 3 reserves made its moons a strong contender for colonization.

'''Vargas (HD 37124d)'''

=== History ===

==== Discovery Era [2083-2086] ====
The system that would officially be named Lusitania(After the ancient name for Portugal) by its inhabitants was originally cataloged as part of the Henry Draper Catalog as HD 37124, a G-type main sequence star similar to Sol, approximately 108 light-years away. Pre-determined in 2005 to have at least three planets all within the star's habitable zone(eventually all realized to be Jovian planets with large amounts of moons). The first human entry to the system was on January 1st 2083 by the ''Challenger-Class'' DSS ''Álvares Cabral''. Although lacking any true inner-terrestrial planets, and with HD 37124 b and HD 37124 d being too hot and too cold respectively(according to ancient discoveries of exoplanets), and with HD 37124 c only having a slim possibility of having a habitable moon, the system was one of the first star systems explored inside the Brazilian-claimed sector. The truth of the system, however, was a complete shock.

Vastly differing from the expected barely inhabitable system HD 37124 was predicted to be, first hand exploration revealed that the system was incredibly habitable, and more than prime for colonization. Although the star itself was somewhat dimmer than Sol, evidence suggests that HD 37124c was actually nudged closer in the distance past, changing its believed distance from the star (combined with inaccurate data) from 1.64 AU to 1.22 AU, close enough for it's many moons to be habitable after terraforming and seeding by the precursors.

Officially named São Galvão, the gas giant's moons were explored for two years by the Alvares and the ''Galileo-class'' planetary exploration ship ''Rafael Perestrello''. At the end of the initial survey, the results were in: out of Sao Galvao's 40 moons, the most habitable one was also the largest: Esperança, a roughly earth sized, terracompatible moon in a stable orbit. The remaining would be habitable with application of terraforming techniques, or were otherwise too hot or too deadly to be considered for anything other than mining. Following intense and heated negotiations and bidding on the colonization rights, ownership of the system was handed over to the Brazilian government.

The first wave of colonists on-board the colony ships ''Empress Maria'' and ''Emperor Pedro'', accompanied by the ''General Secretary-class'' ship the ''Javier Pérez de Cuéllar'' arrived in early 2086, carrying one million and twenty thousand colonists. The two colony ships made landfall near the coastal equatorial regions of Esperança, founding the first city and what would later become the capital of the nation, ''Primeira Aterragem'' (First Landing).

==== Colonization Era & The Esperançan Civil War [2101-2151] ====
In the first two decades after the founding of the colony, more and more transport ships arrived in system, carrying colonists and equipment from earth. With its favorable climate and biosphere combined with its stellar position(Which offset the low amounts of Delta Dust), Esperança rapidly grew in population, with its industry and economy rising alongside it. Alongside the rapid population growth, there was a rise in anti-transgene feeling on the colony, leading to a series of laws to prevent the rise of any sizable transgenic group. During this time, Roman Catholic churches in Brazil also began to migrate to Esperança, with the first finished cathedral on the planet being completed in 2110. Like Brazil, Esperança has a large population of European, Asian, and African descended citizens,with most of them self-identifying as Brazilian or Esperança.

By the year 2140, Esperança was a rich and prosperous colony, with a burgeoning cultural identity. The Orbital Elevator that ''Primeira Aterragem'' was built around, the ''Céu-Coluna'', had been completed, linking up to the ''Céu-Coluna Counterweight Station'' which served as the main center of orbital industry and commerce for the colony. The construction of experimental power stations in orbit, meant to harness power from the tidal stresses generated by São Galvão, were both fully operational and proving the feasibility of the process, with plans in motion for construction of additional power plants to provide cheap and clean power. A technologically advanced and mature system of orbital power, communication, and habitation satellites filled Esperançan space; and the new ''Estaleiro Novo do Titã'' shipyards had just launched the luxury liner ''Da'Cruze''. However, heavy taxes imposed by Brazil's federal government, and a lack of representation were still problems that would soon boil over.

Unfortunately, all was not peaceful. As the colony's population grew, and it became more and more self sufficient, tensions between the earth-based colonial administration and Esperançan colonists began to sour. Although a majority of Esperançans favored the status quo, that number was shrinking more and more as a loose coalition of pro-independence forces, calling themselves the ''Partido Trabalhista para a Liberdade'' (Workers Party for Freedom) or PTL, gained more and more members as popular opinion swung against the increasingly conservative and reactionary Brazilian government. As the calender moved forward into 2140, things were reaching a head.

On April 1st of 2140, during a peaceful protests in the city of ''Refúgio da Liberdade'' against unfair taxation and no political representation, as well as against the refusal of the government to subsidize healthcare for colonists, things got heated when Brazilian Military Police boxed protesters in. From there, the police refused to let the crowd move, effectively holding them captive which had the effect of causing tempers to flare; this led to someone throwing a rock at an officer, and things spiraled out of control, with the MP's brutally arresting all of the protesters. The widespread news coverage of the crackdown ignited the tensions brewing among the colonists, causing riots to break out, as well as the PTL leaping into action. Along with local military units, partisan forces, and the chaos of the so called "April Fool's Rage", the PTL managed to not only seize the majority of the rural farming communes and small towns from Loyalist forces, but also seized the ''Estaleiro Novo do Titã'' shipyards as well as Céu Calmo BFA. As the day dawned on April 2nd, the stage was set for the Civil war, which would last from its start in April 2140, to its abrupt end in 2151. The war itself, while longlasting, was fairly tame compared to the Corporate War on Haraway, and most of the fighting took place in either 2141, 2145, or just at the beginning of the breakdown in 2143.

==== Breakdown Era [2152-2180] ====
Esperança was one of the furthest of UNASUR's colonial holdings, and without a catapult, the colony was cut off from earth with the onset of the breakdown. Although the civil war continued to wage on till 2153, with mop-up operations continuing into the following year, both the PTL and the colonial government knew that things needed to change if the isolated colony was to survive. Negotiating a cease-fire, the PTL officially disbanded their armed wing, which was integrated into the newly formed Serviços com Armas Federais da Esperança (commonly referred to by its acronym, SAFE). Funding that was previously slated for military forces was dedicated entirely to getting Esperança on its feet. Already nearing self sufficiency before the start of the civil war, the colony was able to become fully functional within a decade, partially due to new breakthroughs in science and technology, and thanks to policies enacted by the Worker's Party, had managed to become remarkably self-sufficient and capable when recontacted by Brazilian Naval Vessels in 2178, similar to ZOCU (Albeit without the use of posthuman bootstrapping)

While recontact was initially tense, the developing situation with the Zodiac Outworlds Colony Union and the Alliance of Che and Liberacion proved to be the thing that saved Esperança from annexation. While independently-minded, the bioconservative and fairly liberal nature of the nation led to a rapid souring of relations between ZOCU and Esperanca, especially when more details on Kanon and other "Offensive" ZOCU nations, such as Haraway, became known to the general public.

==== ZOCU War Era [2180-2188] ====
As tensions between the core and ZOCU began to boil over, it looked as though UNASUR and its colonies would be left out of any conflict with the so called "Zodiacs". This perception was absolutely shattered when, in 2182, a military force from Che, with support from Zodiac nations, seized control of the colony world Carabellas, renaming it Malvinas. With what was effectively a Sword of Damocles hanging above its head, it was obvious that Esperança, with its strategic position just four jumps away from Malvinas would play a major role in any future conflicts. Starting in 2183, the Programa Federal da Modernização do Equipamento dos Serviços com Armas (Federal Armed Services Equipment Modernization Program) program was instituted to research and develop advanced weapons and technologies to place Esperancan forces on the same level as the ZCM and the combined militaries of Che, Liberacion, and Malvinas,; along with an increase in the military's funding. From 2183 to 2186, SAFE saw a massive increase in the number of FTL capable vessels laid down and launched. With the likelihood that aerospace forces would be required to operate on many fronts much like in the civil war thirty years past, it was decided to invest in the development of new aerospace fighters and combat frames. Formally rolled out in 2183, the CF-83 Puma served throughout the entire war, and is the basis for all Esperançan Combat Frames.

Small-scale skirmishing between the EFE and Che's military was a standard practice, with by 2187, kept from spiraling into a larger war by the perceived superiority of PACT's naval forces. However in late 2186 the campaigns on Kanon and Choson, which were both defeats for Core-aligned forces, emboldened Che's military leadership. With tacit material support from ZOCU nations (ZOCU is also suspected by Esperanca to have sent pilots and advanced frames to Che during the war), Che launched Operation Granma, their attempt to knock out Esperanca's orbital industry. While expecting the battle to be a repeat of earlier ZOCU successes, the more well prepared UNASUR Combined fleet in system was able to intercept and drive off Che's fleet, with Esperancan Combat Frames dogfighting their Cheian counterparts. The remainder of the war was comprised of back and forth fleet battles and skirmishing, with the occasional planetary raid.

Che's overt hostility to Esperanca, as a result of the history shared between the two planets, as well as the brutal back-and-forth fighting in space, and the inconclusive end to the war, created an attitude of betrayal and anger among Esperancans. Having only recently been recontacted by Earth before the war, and with most of the populace having no idea of the causes of Che's justified anger towards UNASUR, the second time that war came to Esperanca seemed to be a hostile act by not just Che's military dictatorship, but a coordinated move by the Zodiac Separatists to destroy a bio-conservative pro-PACT nation. This lead to, while the ZOCU war was seen in most other places as a reconquista, it being seen on Esperanca was a valid war of defense against the overt aggressive policies of both Che's government and the Zodiac Outworlds Colony Union; as well as a massive increase in Bioconservative and Hawkish leanings within Esperanca's populace and Government. Indeed, the common "on The Street" viewpoint of ZOCU is highly negative towards them, with most citizens in favor of preemptive strikes by SAFE to remove the threat poised by Che and ZOCU.

==== Postwar Era [2188-2195] ====

In the years following the ZOCU War, Esperança has seen moderate growth in both the size of the SAFE and in the capabilities of its native industry. Still sore from being politically restrained by UNASUR, but burgeoning with prestige from its performance in the war, Esperança is beginning to act on its new position in the expanse. Though considered "imperialistic" and "Expansionist" by some commentators, the actions of SAFE in ensuring the security of its neighbors, the Expanse, and the Rim is generally seen to be a positive thing by most people; although there has been some discontent on certain rim worlds at the attempts of Esperança to play police.

=== Politics ===

While classified as a Representative Democracy, the Comunidades Federadas de Esperança's democratically elected government is unique in its organization. At the lowest level of government, which under the Esperancan system is considered to be the local governments of small towns and other communities, decisions are made by councils composed of local community leaders which hold weekly meetings on important issues to allow members of the community to have a more direct involvement with local governance. A step up from that is County Governance, in which the various community councils of the counties send one member elected by their community to represent the people at the County Council. The County Council is similar to the small-town councils, excepting for the lack of public involvement in the bi-monthly meetings.The next level of governance is the March, which is a collection of Counties. The General Assembly of the Federation is a twp house body, composed of three different bodies: The Commons, which is made up of 400 delegates elected in a proportional-representative style election; and the The House of Representatives, which is made up of 100 elected representatives. The Populace directly elects the President and Vice President, who nominates his choices for cabinet to be voted on by the General Assembly.

Generally speaking, Esperançan politics tend to be strongly leftist-socialist, with a not-inconsiderate influence from bioconservative and populist factions. Currently, the absolute majority of seats in the senate and chamber of deputies is controlled by two major parties: the Worker's Party(Partido dos Trabalhadores, PT), the successor to the Partido Trabalhista para a Liberdade and the head of the Liberal Bloc; and the Christian Socialist Party (Partido Socialista Cristão, PSC), the head of the centrist-bloc. Whilst the PT advocate a softer approach to international relations, generally pushing to have the SAFE expand its commitments to protect ASEAN worlds and outreach to independent powers (namely Valera) in order to render the threat of Che and ZOCU nonexistant; the PSC prefers a far more aggressive approach, namely using the military might and advanced technology of Esperança, along with SAFE's considerable operational capacity, to strong-arm independents into siding with PACT and then engage ZOCU and Che in a final war, aimed at dismantling the current political structure of the ZOCU organization and Che's military dictatorship, and then replacing them with Esperanca-Friendly Regimes. While both parties advocate for Esperança taking a leadership role in the region, the PT pushes for a ''Pax Esperança'' achieved through using war as a last resort, the PSC pushes for a Pax through way of becoming the unchallengeable dominant military force in the region, similar to the United States of America on Earth in the 1990's.

Following recontact in 2178, SAFE was soon given a much needed shot in the arm, with the threat of posed by Che's military force necessitating a build up in case of hostilities. With its central location, Esperança played host to large concentrations of PACT naval vessels who resupplied in system, as well as numerous defense contractors who were interesting in gaining a technological edge. The Naval wing of the Armed Services, the Força do Espaço da Federais da Esperança(Esperança Federal Space Force, EFEF) is the most prestigious branch of SAFE, and saw the lion's share of combat during the war.

In modern times, SAFE considers itself to be the most well-trained and well-equipped military native to the Pacific Arm. Still riding high off their successes during war, SAFE has a high degree of popular support, and is well funded by the government and private citizens.

SAFE is divided into three branches, each with their own purpose and duty. The largest branch of SAFE is the Espaço da Federais da Esperança(Esperança Federal Space Force, EFEF), which is responsible for defending Esperanca and negating the ability of the enemy to wage war on the planet. The EFEF is mainly a carrier fleet, operating one full size fleet carrier (the ''Primeira Aterragem'', flagship of the EFEF), and two light carriers(''Bahia'' & ''Nana Buluku''); additional craft support is provided by the Humaitá-class Battleship ''Humaitá'', the four Riachuelo-class cruisers ''Riachuel'' ''Excelion'' ''Harvest Joy'' & ''Conde d'Eu'', and the four ''Esterro Bellaco'' class destroyers. The EFEF, despite a comparatively larger size to most space forces, is still in a process of rebuilding and strengthening itself: current projections estimate that four more ''Esterro Bellaco'' class ships are planned, along with atleast two more ''Bahia'' class vessels and another Humaitá.

The EFEF was the first PACT Nation to begin developing its own Combat Frames. This was done so in response to combat reports of Cheian Peltasts, and the rumors of much more powerful designs being developed on Kanon. A crash development program was started, with the end result being the first of the ''Big Cat'' series of Combat Frames: the FCF-83 Puma. Based on indigenous power-loader designs mixed with stolen Peltast parts, the Puma was a balanced and well performing machine-albeit one who's oversize fusion reactor made expensive. The Puma was quickly adopted by the EFEF, and then other UNASUR nations and colonies for their own defense forces, and can be still be found in service throughout the expanse today. However, even with the completion of the Puma, its successor was already being designed. Resembling an expanded and beefed up Puma with additional verniers and thrusters, the FCF-86 Ocelot(which entered service in 2186) was a step above and beyond the Puma. The Ocelot was the first Esperancan Combat Frame to feature the new Trans-Phase Laminate armor, as well as new Forced Fusion Propulsion; all in a package that was around the same size as the Puma, and Easier to control. The Ocelot was rushed into full mass production, and remains the standard mainline combat frame of the EFEF.

=== Military Ranks ===
All three branches of SAFE (The EFEF, The Ground Forces, SAFEGUARD), all share the same ranking systems. The commanding officer of all three branches is the President, serving as commander in-chief.

All three branches have the same enlisted ranks: starting with Soldado, then Cabo, then Terceiro-Sargento, then Segundo-Sargento, and finally Primeiro-Sargento. NCOs have the rank of Sublieutenant, which ranges in grades from fourth class(lowest) to first class(highest).

Officer ranks are also the same, with newly graduated officers having the rank of Aspirant. Above that, the scale goes as follows: Alferes(Ensign), Segundo-Tenente(Second Lieutenant), Primeiro-Tenente(First Lieutenant), Capitão(Captain), Major, Tenente-Coronel(Lieutenant Colonel), Coronel(Colonel, the highest rank of SAFEGUARD), Brigadeiro(Brigadier, EFEF)/General-de-Brigada(Brigade General, Army), Major-Brigadeiro(Brigadier Major, EFEF)/General-de-divisão(Divisional General, Army), Tenente-Brigadeiro-do-espaço(Space Lieutenant Brigadier, EFEF)/General-de-divisão(Army General, Army), Marechal-do-espaço(Space Marshal, EFEF)/Marechal(Marshal, Army).

==About Esperança ==

Officially the ''Comunidades Federadas de Esperança'', Esperança is the ruling government of Esperança, the large earthlike moon of the São Galvão gas giant. While most of the population resides on Esperança, the planet's orbital infrastructure does contain a sizable population, mostly clustered in habitats at the top of the Céu-Coluna Orbital Elevator. The colony's fertile soil and vast, wide open spaces have made it a prime location for food production. Located at the hub of multiple jump-routes, Esperança has a fairly large population at 42 million people, and has extensive 0g and ground based industries and power infrastructure, as well as what some consider to be one of the top tier non-earth military forces in the Pacific Arm, a reputation gained from their experiences during the ZOCU war; the backbone of Esperança's military might is the Espaça Federal da Esperança(Esperança Federal Spacy, EFE). Esperança is one of the main voices of opposition in PACT to both ZOCU and the Libertadors, as well as one of the most diplomatically and involved nations of the pacific arm.

===Climate and Geography===
Esperanca is the largest and most habitable moon of São Galvão, and orbits in just the right way to recieve enough sunlight from Lusitania and enough background radiation from São Galvão to enjoy a temperate, vegetation friendly climate. Seeded eons ago by the Precursors, Esperanca's native life while not earth-related, is sufficiently close enough that there were no difficulties in habitation by humanity. The planet's gravity is actually slightly higher than earth-standard, but due to various environmental factors, it does not cause much problems for baseline humans. Most of Esperanca's soil is highly fertile, allowing the small farming communes which contain most of the planet's population to produce large amounts of food. The average Esperancan year is roughly 1.5 earth years, while it takes Esperanca three months to make a full orbit of São Galvão.

====System Astrography====
'''Lusitania HD 37124''' is a G4V yellow dwarf, approximately 108 LY away from earth, somewhat smaller, cooler and younger than Sol. It is located along the PACT arm of the Sphere; the interstellar catapult path reached it in 2178.

'''Da Silva (HD 37124b)''' is the first planet out from Lusitania. Massing in at 0.61 Mj, it orbits at 0.53 AU for a period of 156 earth days. Granma is classified as a Jovian planet, and has numerous uninhabited moons.

'''São Galvão (HD 37124c)''' is the second planet of the Lusitania system. A Jovian planet like its sisters, Sao Galvao has a mass of more than twice that of Saturn, and its position 1.22 AU away from the star means that it is directly in the habitable zone. Sao Galvao has 40 moon sized celestial objects in orbit, one of which is currently inhabited. The planet also has nine rings consisting of ice particles, debris, and dust. The lack of a strong magnetic field around the planet itself, combined with its position on the jump network and its easily accessible Helium 3 reserves made its moons a strong contender for colonization.

'''Vargas (HD 37124d)'''

=== History ===

==== Discovery Era [2083-2086] ====
The system that would officially be named Lusitania(After the ancient name for Portugal) by its inhabitants was originally cataloged as part of the Henry Draper Catalog as HD 37124, a G-type main sequence star similar to Sol, approximately 108 light-years away. Pre-determined in 2005 to have at least three planets all within the star's habitable zone(eventually all realized to be Jovian planets with large amounts of moons). The first human entry to the system was on January 1st 2083 by the ''Challenger-Class'' DSS ''Álvares Cabral''. Although lacking any true inner-terrestrial planets, and with HD 37124 b and HD 37124 d being too hot and too cold respectively(according to ancient discoveries of exoplanets), and with HD 37124 c only having a slim possibility of having a habitable moon, the system was one of the first star systems explored inside the Brazilian-claimed sector. The truth of the system, however, was a complete shock.

Vastly differing from the expected barely inhabitable system HD 37124 was predicted to be, first hand exploration revealed that the system was incredibly habitable, and more than prime for colonization. Although the star itself was somewhat dimmer than Sol, evidence suggests that HD 37124c was actually nudged closer in the distance past, changing its believed distance from the star (combined with inaccurate data) from 1.64 AU to 1.22 AU, close enough for it's many moons to be habitable after terraforming and seeding by the precursors.

Officially named São Galvão, the gas giant's moons were explored for two years by the Alvares and the ''Galileo-class'' planetary exploration ship ''Rafael Perestrello''. At the end of the initial survey, the results were in: out of Sao Galvao's 40 moons, the most habitable one was also the largest: Esperança, a roughly earth sized, terracompatible moon in a stable orbit. The remaining would be habitable with application of terraforming techniques, or were otherwise too hot or too deadly to be considered for anything other than mining. Following intense and heated negotiations and bidding on the colonization rights, ownership of the system was handed over to the Brazilian government.

The first wave of colonists on-board the colony ships ''Empress Maria'' and ''Emperor Pedro'', accompanied by the ''General Secretary-class'' ship the ''Javier Pérez de Cuéllar'' arrived in early 2086, carrying one million and twenty thousand colonists. The two colony ships made landfall near the coastal equatorial regions of Esperança, founding the first city and what would later become the capital of the nation, ''Primeira Aterragem'' (First Landing).

==== Colonization Era & The Esperançan Civil War [2101-2151] ====
In the first two decades after the founding of the colony, more and more transport ships arrived in system, carrying colonists and equipment from earth. With its favorable climate and biosphere combined with its stellar position(Which offset the low amounts of Delta Dust), Esperança rapidly grew in population, with its industry and economy rising alongside it. Alongside the rapid population growth, there was a rise in anti-transgene feeling on the colony, leading to a series of laws to prevent the rise of any sizable transgenic group. During this time, Roman Catholic churches in Brazil also began to migrate to Esperança, with the first finished cathedral on the planet being completed in 2110. Like Brazil, Esperança has a large population of European, Asian, and African descended citizens,with most of them self-identifying as Brazilian or Esperança.

By the year 2140, Esperança was a rich and prosperous colony, with a burgeoning cultural identity. The Orbital Elevator that ''Primeira Aterragem'' was built around, the ''Céu-Coluna'', had been completed, linking up to the ''Céu-Coluna Counterweight Station'' which served as the main center of orbital industry and commerce for the colony. The construction of experimental power stations in orbit, meant to harness power from the tidal stresses generated by São Galvão, were both fully operational and proving the feasibility of the process, with plans in motion for construction of additional power plants to provide cheap and clean power. A technologically advanced and mature system of orbital power, communication, and habitation satellites filled Esperançan space; and the new ''Estaleiro Novo do Titã'' shipyards had just launched the luxury liner ''Da'Cruze''. However, heavy taxes imposed by Brazil's federal government, and a lack of representation were still problems that would soon boil over.

Unfortunately, all was not peaceful. As the colony's population grew, and it became more and more self sufficient, tensions between the earth-based colonial administration and Esperançan colonists began to sour. Although a majority of Esperançans favored the status quo, that number was shrinking more and more as a loose coalition of pro-independence forces, calling themselves the ''Partido Trabalhista para a Liberdade'' (Workers Party for Freedom) or PTL, gained more and more members as popular opinion swung against the increasingly conservative and reactionary Brazilian government. As the calender moved forward into 2140, things were reaching a head.

On April 1st of 2140, during a peaceful protests in the city of ''Refúgio da Liberdade'' against unfair taxation and no political representation, as well as against the refusal of the government to subsidize healthcare for colonists, things got heated when Brazilian Military Police boxed protesters in. From there, the police refused to let the crowd move, effectively holding them captive which had the effect of causing tempers to flare; this led to someone throwing a rock at an officer, and things spiraled out of control, with the MP's brutally arresting all of the protesters. The widespread news coverage of the crackdown ignited the tensions brewing among the colonists, causing riots to break out, as well as the PTL leaping into action. Along with local military units, partisan forces, and the chaos of the so called "April Fool's Rage", the PTL managed to not only seize the majority of the rural farming communes and small towns from Loyalist forces, but also seized the ''Estaleiro Novo do Titã'' shipyards as well as Céu Calmo BFA. As the day dawned on April 2nd, the stage was set for the Civil war, which would last from its start in April 2140, to its abrupt end in 2151. The war itself, while longlasting, was fairly tame compared to the Corporate War on Haraway, and most of the fighting took place in either 2141, 2145, or just at the beginning of the breakdown in 2143.

==== Breakdown Era [2152-2180] ====
Esperança was one of the furthest of UNASUR's colonial holdings, and without a catapult, the colony was cut off from earth with the onset of the breakdown. Although the civil war continued to wage on till 2153, with mop-up operations continuing into the following year, both the PTL and the colonial government knew that things needed to change if the isolated colony was to survive. Negotiating a cease-fire, the PTL officially disbanded their armed wing, which was integrated into the newly formed Serviços com Armas Federais da Esperança (commonly referred to by its acronym, SAFE). Funding that was previously slated for military forces was dedicated entirely to getting Esperança on its feet. Already nearing self sufficiency before the start of the civil war, the colony was able to become fully functional within a decade, partially due to new breakthroughs in science and technology, and thanks to policies enacted by the Worker's Party, had managed to become remarkably self-sufficient and capable when recontacted by Brazilian Naval Vessels in 2178, similar to ZOCU (Albeit without the use of posthuman bootstrapping)

While recontact was initially tense, the developing situation with the Zodiac Outworlds Colony Union and the Alliance of Che and Liberacion proved to be the thing that saved Esperança from annexation. While independently-minded, the bioconservative and fairly liberal nature of the nation led to a rapid souring of relations between ZOCU and Esperanca, especially when more details on Kanon and other "Offensive" ZOCU nations, such as Haraway, became known to the general public.

==== ZOCU War Era [2180-2188] ====
As tensions between the core and ZOCU began to boil over, it looked as though UNASUR and its colonies would be left out of any conflict with the so called "Zodiacs". This perception was absolutely shattered when, in 2182, a military force from Che, with support from Zodiac nations, seized control of the colony world Carabellas, renaming it Malvinas. With what was effectively a Sword of Damocles hanging above its head, it was obvious that Esperança, with its strategic position just four jumps away from Malvinas would play a major role in any future conflicts. Starting in 2183, the Programa Federal da Modernização do Equipamento dos Serviços com Armas (Federal Armed Services Equipment Modernization Program) program was instituted to research and develop advanced weapons and technologies to place Esperancan forces on the same level as the ZCM and the combined militaries of Che, Liberacion, and Malvinas,; along with an increase in the military's funding. From 2183 to 2186, SAFE saw a massive increase in the number of FTL capable vessels laid down and launched. With the likelihood that aerospace forces would be required to operate on many fronts much like in the civil war thirty years past, it was decided to invest in the development of new aerospace fighters and combat frames. Formally rolled out in 2183, the CF-83 Puma served throughout the entire war, and is the basis for all Esperançan Combat Frames.

Small-scale skirmishing between the EFE and Che's military was a standard practice, with by 2187, kept from spiraling into a larger war by the perceived superiority of PACT's naval forces. However in late 2186 the campaigns on Kanon and Choson, which were both defeats for Core-aligned forces, emboldened Che's military leadership. With tacit material support from ZOCU nations (ZOCU is also suspected by Esperanca to have sent pilots and advanced frames to Che during the war), Che launched Operation Granma, their attempt to knock out Esperanca's orbital industry. While expecting the battle to be a repeat of earlier ZOCU successes, the more well prepared UNASUR Combined fleet in system was able to intercept and drive off Che's fleet, with Esperancan Combat Frames dogfighting their Cheian counterparts. The remainder of the war was comprised of back and forth fleet battles and skirmishing, with the occasional planetary raid.

Che's overt hostility to Esperanca, as a result of the history shared between the two planets, as well as the brutal back-and-forth fighting in space, and the inconclusive end to the war, created an attitude of betrayal and anger among Esperancans. Having only recently been recontacted by Earth before the war, and with most of the populace having no idea of the causes of Che's justified anger towards UNASUR, the second time that war came to Esperanca seemed to be a hostile act by not just Che's military dictatorship, but a coordinated move by the Zodiac Separatists to destroy a bio-conservative pro-PACT nation. This lead to, while the ZOCU war was seen in most other places as a reconquista, it being seen on Esperanca was a valid war of defense against the overt aggressive policies of both Che's government and the Zodiac Outworlds Colony Union; as well as a massive increase in Bioconservative and Hawkish leanings within Esperanca's populace and Government. Indeed, the common "on The Street" viewpoint of ZOCU is highly negative towards them, with most citizens in favor of preemptive strikes by SAFE to remove the threat poised by Che and ZOCU.

==== Postwar Era [2188-2195] ====

In the years following the ZOCU War, Esperança has seen moderate growth in both the size of the SAFE and in the capabilities of its native industry. Still sore from being politically restrained by UNASUR, but burgeoning with prestige from its performance in the war, Esperança is beginning to act on its new position in the expanse. Though considered "imperialistic" and "Expansionist" by some commentators, the actions of SAFE in ensuring the security of its neighbors, the Expanse, and the Rim is generally seen to be a positive thing by most people; although there has been some discontent on certain rim worlds at the attempts of Esperança to play police.

=== Politics ===

While classified as a Representative Democracy, the Comunidades Federadas de Esperança's democratically elected government is unique in its organization. At the lowest level of government, which under the Esperancan system is considered to be the local governments of small towns and other communities, decisions are made by councils composed of local community leaders which hold weekly meetings on important issues to allow members of the community to have a more direct involvement with local governance. A step up from that is County Governance, in which the various community councils of the counties send one member elected by their community to represent the people at the County Council. The County Council is similar to the small-town councils, excepting for the lack of public involvement in the bi-monthly meetings.The next level of governance is the March, which is a collection of Counties. The General Assembly of the Federation is a twp house body, composed of three different bodies: The Commons, which is made up of 400 delegates elected in a proportional-representative style election; and the The House of Representatives, which is made up of 100 elected representatives. The Populace directly elects the President and Vice President, who nominates his choices for cabinet to be voted on by the General Assembly.

Generally speaking, Esperançan politics tend to be strongly leftist-socialist, with a not-inconsiderate influence from bioconservative and populist factions. Currently, the absolute majority of seats in the senate and chamber of deputies is controlled by two major parties: the Worker's Party(Partido dos Trabalhadores, PT), the successor to the Partido Trabalhista para a Liberdade and the head of the Liberal Bloc; and the Christian Socialist Party (Partido Socialista Cristão, PSC), the head of the centrist-bloc. Whilst the PT advocate a softer approach to international relations, generally pushing to have the SAFE expand its commitments to protect ASEAN worlds and outreach to independent powers (namely Valera) in order to render the threat of Che and ZOCU nonexistant; the PSC prefers a far more aggressive approach, namely using the military might and advanced technology of Esperança, along with SAFE's considerable operational capacity, to strong-arm independents into siding with PACT and then engage ZOCU and Che in a final war, aimed at dismantling the current political structure of the ZOCU organization and Che's military dictatorship, and then replacing them with Esperanca-Friendly Regimes. While both parties advocate for Esperança taking a leadership role in the region, the PT pushes for a ''Pax Esperança'' achieved through using war as a last resort, the PSC pushes for a Pax through way of becoming the unchallengeable dominant military force in the region, similar to the United States of America on Earth in the 1990's.

== Esperançan Federal Armed Services ==
(Serviços com Armas Federais da Esperança, SAFE)

Formed in 2153 as a merger between the armed wing of the PTL and the Colonial Defense Force(Força da Defesa da Colônia), SAFE barely saw any use during the breakdown, merely acting to deal with the occasional pirate. Following recontact in 2178, SAFE was soon given a much needed shot in the arm, with the threat of posed by Che's military force necessitating a build up in case of hostilities. With its central location, Esperança played host to large concentrations of PACT naval vessels who resupplied in system, as well as numerous defense contractors who were interesting in gaining a technological edge. The Naval wing of the Armed Services, the Força do Espaço da Federais da Esperança(Esperança Federal Space Force, EFEF) is the most prestigious branch of SAFE, and saw the lion's share of combat during the war.

In modern times, SAFE considers itself to be the most well-trained and well-equipped military native to the Pacific Arm. Still riding high off their successes during war, SAFE has a high degree of popular support, and is well funded by the government and private citizens.

SAFE is divided into three branches, each with their own purpose and duty. The largest branch of SAFE is the Espaço da Federais da Esperança(Esperança Federal Space Force, EFEF), which is responsible for defending Esperanca and negating the ability of the enemy to wage war on the planet. The EFEF is mainly a carrier fleet, operating one full size fleet carrier (the ''Primeira Aterragem'', flagship of the EFEF), and two light carriers(''Bahia'' & ''Nana Buluku''); additional craft support is provided by the Humaitá-class Battleship ''Humaitá'', the four Riachuelo-class cruisers ''Riachuel'' ''Excelion'' ''Harvest Joy'' & ''Conde d'Eu'', and the four ''Esterro Bellaco'' class destroyers. The EFEF, despite a comparatively larger size to most space forces, is still in a process of rebuilding and strengthening itself: current projections estimate that four more ''Esterro Bellaco'' class ships are planned, along with atleast two more ''Bahia'' class vessels and another Humaitá.

The EFEF was the first PACT Nation to begin developing its own Combat Frames. This was done so in response to combat reports of Cheian Peltasts, and the rumors of much more powerful designs being developed on Kanon. A crash development program was started, with the end result being the first of the ''Big Cat'' series of Combat Frames: the FCF-83 Puma. Based on indigenous power-loader designs mixed with stolen Peltast parts, the Puma was a balanced and well performing machine-albeit one who's oversize fusion reactor made expensive. The Puma was quickly adopted by the EFEF, and then other UNASUR nations and colonies for their own defense forces, and can be still be found in service throughout the expanse today. However, even with the completion of the Puma, its successor was already being designed. Resembling an expanded and beefed up Puma with additional verniers and thrusters, the FCF-86 Ocelot(which entered service in 2186) was a step above and beyond the Puma. The Ocelot was the first Esperancan Combat Frame to feature the new Trans-Phase Laminate armor, as well as new Forced Fusion Propulsion; all in a package that was around the same size as the Puma, and Easier to control. The Ocelot was rushed into full mass production, and remains the standard mainline combat frame of the EFEF.

=== Military Ranks ===
All three branches of SAFE (The EFEF, The Ground Forces, SAFEGUARD), all share the same ranking systems. The commanding officer of all three branches is the President, serving as commander in-chief.

All three branches have the same enlisted ranks: starting with Soldado, then Cabo, then Terceiro-Sargento, then Segundo-Sargento, and finally Primeiro-Sargento. NCOs have the rank of Sublieutenant, which ranges in grades from fourth class(lowest) to first class(highest).

Officer ranks are also the same, with newly graduated officers having the rank of Aspirant. Above that, the scale goes as follows: Alferes(Ensign), Segundo-Tenente(Second Lieutenant), Primeiro-Tenente(First Lieutenant), Capitão(Captain), Major, Tenente-Coronel(Lieutenant Colonel), Coronel(Colonel, the highest rank of SAFEGUARD), Brigadeiro(Brigadier, EFEF)/General-de-Brigada(Brigade General, Army), Major-Brigadeiro(Brigadier Major, EFEF)/General-de-divisão(Divisional General, Army), Tenente-Brigadeiro-do-espaço(Space Lieutenant Brigadier, EFEF)/General-de-divisão(Army General, Army), Marechal-do-espaço(Space Marshal, EFEF)/Marechal(Marshal, Army).

==About Esperança ==

Officially the ''Comunidades Federadas de Esperança'', Esperança is the ruling government of Esperança, the large earthlike moon of the São Galvão gas giant. While most of the population resides on Esperança, the planet's orbital infrastructure does contain a sizable population, mostly clustered in habitats at the top of the Céu-Coluna Orbital Elevator. The colony's fertile soil and vast, wide open spaces have made it a prime location for food production. Located at the hub of multiple jump-routes, Esperança has a fairly large population at 42 million people, and has extensive 0g and ground based industries and power infrastructure, as well as what some consider to be one of the top tier non-earth military forces in the Pacific Arm, a reputation gained from their experiences during the ZOCU war; the backbone of Esperança's military might is the Espaça Federal da Esperança(Esperança Federal Spacy, EFE). Esperança is one of the main voices of opposition in PACT to both ZOCU and the Libertadors, as well as one of the most diplomatically and involved nations of the pacific arm.

===Climate and Geography===
Esperanca is the largest and most habitable moon of São Galvão, and orbits in just the right way to recieve enough sunlight from Lusitania and enough background radiation from São Galvão to enjoy a temperate, vegetation friendly climate. Seeded eons ago by the Precursors, Esperanca's native life while not earth-related, is sufficiently close enough that there were no difficulties in habitation by humanity. The planet's gravity is actually slightly higher than earth-standard, but due to various environmental factors, it does not cause much problems for baseline humans. Most of Esperanca's soil is highly fertile, allowing the small farming communes which contain most of the planet's population to produce large amounts of food. The average Esperancan year is roughly 1.5 earth years, while it takes Esperanca three months to make a full orbit of São Galvão.

====System Astrography====
'''Lusitania HD 37124''' is a G4V yellow dwarf, approximately 108 LY away from earth, somewhat smaller, cooler and younger than Sol. It is located along the PACT arm of the Sphere; the interstellar catapult path reached it in 2178.

'''Da Silva (HD 37124b)''' is the first planet out from Lusitania. Massing in at 0.61 Mj, it orbits at 0.53 AU for a period of 156 earth days. Granma is classified as a Jovian planet, and has numerous uninhabited moons.

'''São Galvão (HD 37124c)''' is the second planet of the Lusitania system. A Jovian planet like its sisters, Sao Galvao has a mass of more than twice that of Saturn, and its position 1.22 AU away from the star means that it is directly in the habitable zone. Sao Galvao has 40 moon sized celestial objects in orbit, one of which is currently inhabited. The planet also has nine rings consisting of ice particles, debris, and dust. The lack of a strong magnetic field around the planet itself, combined with its position on the jump network and its easily accessible Helium 3 reserves made its moons a strong contender for colonization.

'''Vargas (HD 37124d)'''

=== History ===

==== Discovery Era [2083-2086] ====
The system that would officially be named Lusitania(After the ancient name for Portugal) by its inhabitants was originally cataloged as part of the Henry Draper Catalog as HD 37124, a G-type main sequence star similar to Sol, approximately 108 light-years away. Pre-determined in 2005 to have at least three planets all within the star's habitable zone(eventually all realized to be Jovian planets with large amounts of moons). The first human entry to the system was on January 1st 2083 by the ''Challenger-Class'' DSS ''Álvares Cabral''. Although lacking any true inner-terrestrial planets, and with HD 37124 b and HD 37124 d being too hot and too cold respectively(according to ancient discoveries of exoplanets), and with HD 37124 c only having a slim possibility of having a habitable moon, the system was one of the first star systems explored inside the Brazilian-claimed sector. The truth of the system, however, was a complete shock.

Vastly differing from the expected barely inhabitable system HD 37124 was predicted to be, first hand exploration revealed that the system was incredibly habitable, and more than prime for colonization. Although the star itself was somewhat dimmer than Sol, evidence suggests that HD 37124c was actually nudged closer in the distance past, changing its believed distance from the star (combined with inaccurate data) from 1.64 AU to 1.22 AU, close enough for it's many moons to be habitable after terraforming and seeding by the precursors.

Officially named São Galvão, the gas giant's moons were explored for two years by the Alvares and the ''Galileo-class'' planetary exploration ship ''Rafael Perestrello''. At the end of the initial survey, the results were in: out of Sao Galvao's 40 moons, the most habitable one was also the largest: Esperança, a roughly earth sized, terracompatible moon in a stable orbit. The remaining would be habitable with application of terraforming techniques, or were otherwise too hot or too deadly to be considered for anything other than mining. Following intense and heated negotiations and bidding on the colonization rights, ownership of the system was handed over to the Brazilian government.

The first wave of colonists on-board the colony ships ''Empress Maria'' and ''Emperor Pedro'', accompanied by the ''General Secretary-class'' ship the ''Javier Pérez de Cuéllar'' arrived in early 2086, carrying one million and twenty thousand colonists. The two colony ships made landfall near the coastal equatorial regions of Esperança, founding the first city and what would later become the capital of the nation, ''Primeira Aterragem'' (First Landing).

==== Colonization Era & The Esperançan Civil War [2101-2151] ====
In the first two decades after the founding of the colony, more and more transport ships arrived in system, carrying colonists and equipment from earth. With its favorable climate and biosphere combined with its stellar position(Which offset the low amounts of Delta Dust), Esperança rapidly grew in population, with its industry and economy rising alongside it. Alongside the rapid population growth, there was a rise in anti-transgene feeling on the colony, leading to a series of laws to prevent the rise of any sizable transgenic group. During this time, Roman Catholic churches in Brazil also began to migrate to Esperança, with the first finished cathedral on the planet being completed in 2110. Like Brazil, Esperança has a large population of European, Asian, and African descended citizens,with most of them self-identifying as Brazilian or Esperança.

By the year 2140, Esperança was a rich and prosperous colony, with a burgeoning cultural identity. The Orbital Elevator that ''Primeira Aterragem'' was built around, the ''Céu-Coluna'', had been completed, linking up to the ''Céu-Coluna Counterweight Station'' which served as the main center of orbital industry and commerce for the colony. The construction of experimental power stations in orbit, meant to harness power from the tidal stresses generated by São Galvão, were both fully operational and proving the feasibility of the process, with plans in motion for construction of additional power plants to provide cheap and clean power. A technologically advanced and mature system of orbital power, communication, and habitation satellites filled Esperançan space; and the new ''Estaleiro Novo do Titã'' shipyards had just launched the luxury liner ''Da'Cruze''. However, heavy taxes imposed by Brazil's federal government, and a lack of representation were still problems that would soon boil over.

Unfortunately, all was not peaceful. As the colony's population grew, and it became more and more self sufficient, tensions between the earth-based colonial administration and Esperançan colonists began to sour. Although a majority of Esperançans favored the status quo, that number was shrinking more and more as a loose coalition of pro-independence forces, calling themselves the ''Partido Trabalhista para a Liberdade'' (Workers Party for Freedom) or PTL, gained more and more members as popular opinion swung against the increasingly conservative and reactionary Brazilian government. As the calender moved forward into 2140, things were reaching a head.

On April 1st of 2140, during a peaceful protests in the city of ''Refúgio da Liberdade'' against unfair taxation and no political representation, as well as against the refusal of the government to subsidize healthcare for colonists, things got heated when Brazilian Military Police boxed protesters in. From there, the police refused to let the crowd move, effectively holding them captive which had the effect of causing tempers to flare; this led to someone throwing a rock at an officer, and things spiraled out of control, with the MP's brutally arresting all of the protesters. The widespread news coverage of the crackdown ignited the tensions brewing among the colonists, causing riots to break out, as well as the PTL leaping into action. Along with local military units, partisan forces, and the chaos of the so called "April Fool's Rage", the PTL managed to not only seize the majority of the rural farming communes and small towns from Loyalist forces, but also seized the ''Estaleiro Novo do Titã'' shipyards as well as Céu Calmo BFA. As the day dawned on April 2nd, the stage was set for the Civil war, which would last from its start in April 2140, to its abrupt end in 2151. The war itself, while longlasting, was fairly tame compared to the Corporate War on Haraway, and most of the fighting took place in either 2141, 2145, or just at the beginning of the breakdown in 2143.

==== Breakdown Era [2152-2180] ====
Esperança was one of the furthest of UNASUR's colonial holdings, and without a catapult, the colony was cut off from earth with the onset of the breakdown. Although the civil war continued to wage on till 2153, with mop-up operations continuing into the following year, both the PTL and the colonial government knew that things needed to change if the isolated colony was to survive. Negotiating a cease-fire, the PTL officially disbanded their armed wing, which was integrated into the newly formed Serviços com Armas Federais da Esperança (commonly referred to by its acronym, SAFE). Funding that was previously slated for military forces was dedicated entirely to getting Esperança on its feet. Already nearing self sufficiency before the start of the civil war, the colony was able to become fully functional within a decade, partially due to new breakthroughs in science and technology, and thanks to policies enacted by the Worker's Party, had managed to become remarkably self-sufficient and capable when recontacted by Brazilian Naval Vessels in 2178, similar to ZOCU (Albeit without the use of posthuman bootstrapping)

While recontact was initially tense, the developing situation with the Zodiac Outworlds Colony Union and the Alliance of Che and Liberacion proved to be the thing that saved Esperança from annexation. While independently-minded, the bioconservative and fairly liberal nature of the nation led to a rapid souring of relations between ZOCU and Esperanca, especially when more details on Kanon and other "Offensive" ZOCU nations, such as Haraway, became known to the general public.

==== ZOCU War Era [2180-2188] ====
As tensions between the core and ZOCU began to boil over, it looked as though UNASUR and its colonies would be left out of any conflict with the so called "Zodiacs". This perception was absolutely shattered when, in 2182, a military force from Che, with support from Zodiac nations, seized control of the colony world Carabellas, renaming it Malvinas. With what was effectively a Sword of Damocles hanging above its head, it was obvious that Esperança, with its strategic position just four jumps away from Malvinas would play a major role in any future conflicts. Starting in 2183, the Programa Federal da Modernização do Equipamento dos Serviços com Armas (Federal Armed Services Equipment Modernization Program) program was instituted to research and develop advanced weapons and technologies to place Esperancan forces on the same level as the ZCM and the combined militaries of Che, Liberacion, and Malvinas,; along with an increase in the military's funding. From 2183 to 2186, SAFE saw a massive increase in the number of FTL capable vessels laid down and launched. With the likelihood that aerospace forces would be required to operate on many fronts much like in the civil war thirty years past, it was decided to invest in the development of new aerospace fighters and combat frames. Formally rolled out in 2183, the CF-83 Puma served throughout the entire war, and is the basis for all Esperançan Combat Frames.

Small-scale skirmishing between the EFE and Che's military was a standard practice, with by 2187, kept from spiraling into a larger war by the perceived superiority of PACT's naval forces. However in late 2186 the campaigns on Kanon and Choson, which were both defeats for Core-aligned forces, emboldened Che's military leadership. With tacit material support from ZOCU nations (ZOCU is also suspected by Esperanca to have sent pilots and advanced frames to Che during the war), Che launched Operation Granma, their attempt to knock out Esperanca's orbital industry. While expecting the battle to be a repeat of earlier ZOCU successes, the more well prepared UNASUR Combined fleet in system was able to intercept and drive off Che's fleet, with Esperancan Combat Frames dogfighting their Cheian counterparts. The remainder of the war was comprised of back and forth fleet battles and skirmishing, with the occasional planetary raid.

Che's overt hostility to Esperanca, as a result of the history shared between the two planets, as well as the brutal back-and-forth fighting in space, and the inconclusive end to the war, created an attitude of betrayal and anger among Esperancans. Having only recently been recontacted by Earth before the war, and with most of the populace having no idea of the causes of Che's justified anger towards UNASUR, the second time that war came to Esperanca seemed to be a hostile act by not just Che's military dictatorship, but a coordinated move by the Zodiac Separatists to destroy a bio-conservative pro-PACT nation. This lead to, while the ZOCU war was seen in most other places as a reconquista, it being seen on Esperanca was a valid war of defense against the overt aggressive policies of both Che's government and the Zodiac Outworlds Colony Union; as well as a massive increase in Bioconservative and Hawkish leanings within Esperanca's populace and Government. Indeed, the common "on The Street" viewpoint of ZOCU is highly negative towards them, with most citizens in favor of preemptive strikes by SAFE to remove the threat poised by Che and ZOCU.

==== Postwar Era [2188-2195] ====

In the years following the ZOCU War, Esperança has seen moderate growth in both the size of the SAFE and in the capabilities of its native industry. Still sore from being politically restrained by UNASUR, but burgeoning with prestige from its performance in the war, Esperança is beginning to act on its new position in the expanse. Though considered "imperialistic" and "Expansionist" by some commentators, the actions of SAFE in ensuring the security of its neighbors, the Expanse, and the Rim is generally seen to be a positive thing by most people; although there has been some discontent on certain rim worlds at the attempts of Esperança to play police.

=== Politics ===

While classified as a Representative Democracy, the Comunidades Federadas de Esperança's democratically elected government is unique in its organization. At the lowest level of government, which under the Esperancan system is considered to be the local governments of small towns and other communities, decisions are made by councils composed of local community leaders which hold weekly meetings on important issues to allow members of the community to have a more direct involvement with local governance. A step up from that is County Governance, in which the various community councils of the counties send one member elected by their community to represent the people at the County Council. The County Council is similar to the small-town councils, excepting for the lack of public involvement in the bi-monthly meetings.The next level of governance is the March, which is a collection of Counties. The General Assembly of the Federation is a twp house body, composed of three different bodies: The Commons, which is made up of 400 delegates elected in a proportional-representative style election; and the The House of Representatives, which is made up of 100 elected representatives. The Populace directly elects the President and Vice President, who nominates his choices for cabinet to be voted on by the General Assembly.

Generally speaking, Esperançan politics tend to be strongly leftist-socialist, with a not-inconsiderate influence from bioconservative and populist factions. Currently, the absolute majority of seats in the senate and chamber of deputies is controlled by two major parties: the Worker's Party(Partido dos Trabalhadores, PT), the successor to the Partido Trabalhista para a Liberdade and the head of the Liberal Bloc; and the Christian Socialist Party (Partido Socialista Cristão, PSC), the head of the centrist-bloc. Whilst the PT advocate a softer approach to international relations, generally pushing to have the SAFE expand its commitments to protect ASEAN worlds and outreach to independent powers (namely Valera) in order to render the threat of Che and ZOCU nonexistant; the PSC prefers a far more aggressive approach, namely using the military might and advanced technology of Esperança, along with SAFE's considerable operational capacity, to strong-arm independents into siding with PACT and then engage ZOCU and Che in a final war, aimed at dismantling the current political structure of the ZOCU organization and Che's military dictatorship, and then replacing them with Esperanca-Friendly Regimes. While both parties advocate for Esperança taking a leadership role in the region, the PT pushes for a ''Pax Esperança'' achieved through using war as a last resort, the PSC pushes for a Pax through way of becoming the unchallengeable dominant military force in the region, similar to the United States of America on Earth in the 1990's.

== Esperançan Federal Armed Services ==
(Serviços com Armas Federais da Esperança, SAFE)

Formed in 2153 as a merger between the armed wing of the PTL and the Colonial Defense Force(Força da Defesa da Colônia), SAFE barely saw any use during the breakdown, merely acting to deal with the occasional pirate. Following recontact in 2178, SAFE was soon given a much needed shot in the arm, with the threat of posed by Che's military force necessitating a build up in case of hostilities. With its central location, Esperança played host to large concentrations of PACT naval vessels who resupplied in system, as well as numerous defense contractors who were interesting in gaining a technological edge. The Naval wing of the Armed Services, the Força do Espaço da Federais da Esperança(Esperança Federal Space Force, EFEF) is the most prestigious branch of SAFE, and saw the lion's share of combat during the war.

In modern times, SAFE considers itself to be the most well-trained and well-equipped military native to the Pacific Arm. Still riding high off their successes during war, SAFE has a high degree of popular support, and is well funded by the government and private citizens.

SAFE is divided into three branches, each with their own purpose and duty. The largest branch of SAFE is the Espaço da Federais da Esperança(Esperança Federal Space Force, EFEF), which is responsible for defending Esperanca and negating the ability of the enemy to wage war on the planet. The EFEF is mainly a carrier fleet, operating one full size fleet carrier (the ''Primeira Aterragem'', flagship of the EFEF), and two light carriers(''Bahia'' & ''Nana Buluku''); additional craft support is provided by the Humaitá-class Battleship ''Humaitá'', the four Riachuelo-class cruisers ''Riachuel'' ''Excelion'' ''Harvest Joy'' & ''Conde d'Eu'', and the four ''Esterro Bellaco'' class destroyers. The EFEF, despite a comparatively larger size to most space forces, is still in a process of rebuilding and strengthening itself: current projections estimate that four more ''Esterro Bellaco'' class ships are planned, along with atleast two more ''Bahia'' class vessels and another Humaitá.

The EFEF was the first PACT Nation to begin developing its own Combat Frames. This was done so in response to combat reports of Cheian Peltasts, and the rumors of much more powerful designs being developed on Kanon. A crash development program was started, with the end result being the first of the ''Big Cat'' series of Combat Frames: the FCF-83 Puma. Based on indigenous power-loader designs mixed with stolen Peltast parts, the Puma was a balanced and well performing machine-albeit one who's oversize fusion reactor made expensive. The Puma was quickly adopted by the EFEF, and then other UNASUR nations and colonies for their own defense forces, and can be still be found in service throughout the expanse today. However, even with the completion of the Puma, its successor was already being designed. Resembling an expanded and beefed up Puma with additional verniers and thrusters, the FCF-86 Ocelot(which entered service in 2186) was a step above and beyond the Puma. The Ocelot was the first Esperancan Combat Frame to feature the new Trans-Phase Laminate armor, as well as new Forced Fusion Propulsion; all in a package that was around the same size as the Puma, and Easier to control. The Ocelot was rushed into full mass production, and remains the standard mainline combat frame of the EFEF.

=== Military Ranks ===
All three branches of SAFE (The EFEF, The Ground Forces, SAFEGUARD), all share the same ranking systems. The commanding officer of all three branches is the President, serving as commander in-chief.

All three branches have the same enlisted ranks: starting with Soldado, then Cabo, then Terceiro-Sargento, then Segundo-Sargento, and finally Primeiro-Sargento. NCOs have the rank of Sublieutenant, which ranges in grades from fourth class(lowest) to first class(highest).

Officer ranks are also the same, with newly graduated officers having the rank of Aspirant. Above that, the scale goes as follows: Alferes(Ensign), Segundo-Tenente(Second Lieutenant), Primeiro-Tenente(First Lieutenant), Capitão(Captain), Major, Tenente-Coronel(Lieutenant Colonel), Coronel(Colonel, the highest rank of SAFEGUARD), Brigadeiro(Brigadier, EFEF)/General-de-Brigada(Brigade General, Army), Major-Brigadeiro(Brigadier Major, EFEF)/General-de-divisão(Divisional General, Army), Tenente-Brigadeiro-do-espaço(Space Lieutenant Brigadier, EFEF)/General-de-divisão(Army General, Army), Marechal-do-espaço(Space Marshal, EFEF)/Marechal(Marshal, Army).
