History
The Helios Project was one of the early UN launches, designed to set up 'guidestone' colonies with eyes towards the future of the then fledgling human sphere. Funded by numerous donation drives, the colony was slated to set up on a garden world orbiting a red giant. However, initial scans failed to reveal the presence of an interloper in the target system. A rogue planet.
When the colony vessels transited to the Helios star system, they found their target world gone- smashed into dust and ruin. In its place was a molten, liquid rock nearly twice as large as Earth, and utterly inhospitable. Incredulity, then despair began to set in. The colonists had neither the resources, nor the technology to build a world where there was none- not even by cannibalizing their own vessels.
But then a star of hope rose over that horizon of despair. The Nefer Object. A Posthuman Spire located deeper in system. Initially labeled as a curiosity, the exploration vessels soon took to it as a hope to survive. The Posthumans had promised neither success nor failure, but perhaps were ill content to let the colony perish. The Nefer Object was generating an atmospheric sheath. While nowhere near the size of an actual planet, the presence of a contained sphere of human breathable air- and as later discovered- weather patterns, water, and vital trace elements- this was a godsend to a people in need.
As the River Nile once gave birth to the Egyptian Civlization, so too did the Nefer Object give birth to a new colony. Named Nefer in honor of their salvation, the colony soon made up for lost time.

Places and Names
Argentum: The premier theotechnology institute on Heliopolis. Very high class, and holds a remarkable disdain for people who decry basic theotechnology in favour of theta-omega technology.
The Annex: Pyramid's main offices and manufactory, the Annex is a large cathedral like structure originally tasked as some sort of theta dust pumping station. When Nefer's combat engineers cleared the area out shortly after the breakdown, the then fledgeling megacorp decided that the aesthetics were suitably fitting to be used as their main offices, and moved in. The Annex has since grown and become a large and open business area, with several sections existing open to the sky.
The Vault: Altus Technical's secret headquarters, the location of the Vault is known only to a few. Many who work there never leave, or are only there in the first place via telepresence holography.

Military
Uniforms: The uniforms employed by the Nefertan military are an adaption of those used by Pyramid's exclusive military training institute, which serves as a prerequisite to actual military service. The uniforms are a blend of military service finery, as well as the more business oriented garb of Pyramid's civilian employees.
In order to allow for quick identification of roles and specialties, Pyramid assigns each department a specific colour. Those departments utilize that colour on the ties of their uniforms, indicating their specialty.
The most recent up to date Department to Colour information is as follows:
- Command - Red
- Science - Green
- Tactical - Yellow
- Medical - Blue
- Civilian Authority - White/Other colours (See appendix III for details)
- Unassigned - Black
