Heaven's Reach

"It is clear that our creators, the scientists, the politicians, the nations, have not the strength of character nor wisdom of ages to realise the potential of their creation. Faced with the hysteria of the public, the moral panic of those few religious and the raw evolutionary fear of our superiority, they condemn us to the stars. Well fuck them, I do not recognise the authority of the weak, of the spineless to dictate to me. Let their DNA be their shackles, their morality their prison, let them be the chains that tie them down to earth, as we Reach For Heaven."

Lt Colonel Alexia Duvochy, of the defunct Russian Federation Spetsnaz Augmentation Programme, quietly exiled to avoid a public relations disaster and widly considered to of all gone insane.

Heaven's Reach was founded by the soldiers of 5th Brigade of the Russian Federation Spetsnaz, who had overgone experimental transgenic augmentation. Coincident with the troubles in Brazil, the project was discontinued after the soldiers developed a dangerous group mentality that refused to recognise the proper chain of Command. They assigned Lt Colonel Alexia Duvochy as their leader on a almost Alpha Wolf basis and became to routinely question their civilian oversight. Exiled, they founded a colony with the help of posthumanity and developed into one of the pillars of Exhumanism in the Outer Expanse.

Society

Heaven's Reach is a 'Militant Exhuman-progressive' society, modelled on a Hierarchy which places emphasis on individual achievement and ability. Particular emphasis has been placed on the role of the 'Warrior' in human existence, though respect is also given to the role of science, as such in the formalised class division system of Heaven's Reach, the class of Soldier and Scribe are given prominence above all others.

The larger formalisation of society

As such, Heaven's Reach is a haven to various human augmentative sciences, including variant cognition and a multiple of military orientated augmentation disciplines.

Societal Divisions:

Heaven's Reach has a formal division system, based on expertise in various areas.

Soldier Soldiers are a member of the Warrior Class, proven in combat and sworn to a Order. They receive many privileges above that of unproven Artisan but are also held to a higher standard, life can be far more dangerous as a Soldier.

Scribe Scientist are the scientists and Engineers of Heaven's Reach, they are responsible for researching, designing and producing new weaponry, genetic modifications and cybernetic augmentations.

Artisan Artisan , some 75% of the population are the last of Heaven's Reach. While at the bottom of the structural pyramid of society, civilians are usually no less well treated, they are the workers and pillar of society, responsible for what many in Heaven's Reach would consider the logistical underpinnings of the nation, running the Agriculture pods and fusion power stations, working under the Scribes to construct new technologies and produce goods.

ORDERs

A ORDER is a Clan, a commune, a family. They scheme, they plot and they fight. If Heaven's Reach were a Federal state, OVERLORD would be the Federal Government and ORDERs the states. They are the central organisation of society and form the basis of most activity.

List Of ORDERs

OVERLORD

OVERLORD is responsible for the leadership of Heaven's Reach, forming the grand strategy and managing external relations. A subset of OVERLORD is SENTINEL, the 'Official' Black Ops of Heaven's Reach. It is the 'Executive' Branch of the Government in so far as there can be one in such a unusual nation.

Titles

Titles are important to Heaven's Reach, they are a reward and recognition of ability and achievement. They are attained as one's Military Index rises, often as a result of duels.

OVERLORD Ranks/Titles

Exarchos (Commander in Chief) Head of Government and Head of State

Komestikos (Major Generals?) The Komestikos are Strategos chosen to serve in the Ruling Council.

GUARDIAN Ranks/Titles

Strategos (General/Admiral)

These are the leaders of a recognised Order.

Tourmarches (Colonel)

Qenturikos (Major)

Xenturikos (Captain)

Centurikos (Lieutenant)

HONOUR Titles

Honour titles are a recognition of true top tier ability and desire. While technically awarded for outstanding merit in battle, they are increasing a preresquite for advancement and placement in certain elite units. For instance, all SENTINELs are Exaltikos.

Exaltikos (Knight+)

Cataphractikos (Knight)
