Altus

National Overview

Altus

Concept: Future Government City on a Hell World. Currently engaged in resourcing operations to advance human understanding of the cosmos.





A1: Longshot Mission (+100 Fabber)

The expedition that led to the formation of Altus was a one in a million shot, the last few ships through a collapsing singularity burning their drives into the unknown.

A2: Dominantly Baseline (+60 Pop, +Logistics)

Swept up by the transgenics movement, a large group of baselines that were disatisfied with the governmental management of the growing singularity banded together to form the initial expedition. It was their thought that if they could not find solace here, at the birthplace of humanity, they were better to go find it out there, amongst the stars. History has proven that they were right, for a given value of right.

The Magnate War

While Altus was spared the main force by virtue of being behind the League Starlanes, several splinter invasions managed to break through at different points during the War. However, it was by subterfuge that the Altans won the day. Several times they constructed a false 'City' which appeared to the invading forces as the main hub on the planet Gehenna (Altus II). With the real city in lockdown mode, the invaders headed towards this false city and deployed their ground forces. The planet promptly ate at least half of those forces, and Altan MA raids finished off most of the others.

This ruse, however, did not go off flawlessly- several times the real City was bombed by passing flights, and the Magnates severely hampered the Altan orbital infrastructure- particularly the processing plants in orbit of Altus VI.
