The United Systems Handbook - 2066 Edition
« on: March 07, 2011, 05:54:10 PM »


This is the galactic map of colonized and discovered colonies of the United Systems



The United Systems was an evolution of the initial United Nations Federations (2025 - 2053). From its born in 2053, mankind expanded through the galaxy, colonizing and exploring nearest star systems. Actually humans live on four of them, the home system Sol, Alpha Centauri, Barnards Star and Wolf 359.
Humans discovered that they are not alone in the universe, meeting the pre-industial race of the centaurians, and the ruins of an ancient aliens race always in Alpha Centauri system.
The United Nations is ruled by a council, housed on Earth, in the artificial island of Pax Astra. The council if formed by each governor of colonized planets, but its main figure, the Chancellor, have the biggest powers through the members and it supervisioned the council and the Union itself.

The role of the councillor was taken by three people from the start of the "Space Ages" of mankind, and it travels from the United Nations, to the Federations, to the United Systems:
Lauren Glover (2025-2039)
Jewell Wichern (2039-2053)
Nicholas Reynolds (2053-2066)

The main colonies, excluding the mining planets, civilian mining colonies, minig asteroids and the recently mined comets are:

Earth - Sol System
The homeworld and the core of the United Systems. it's populated by nearly 9 billions humans and it's surface is crowded by cities. Despite the incredible technological evolution and industrialization, humans reach to keep a decent ecosystem recycling materials and, thanks to the use of TN minerals, reducing pollution agents. It houses the shipyards that produce starships to explore the universe, and its important is vital to mankind.
Its current governor is the formed chancellor Lauren Glover and the planet is defended by the United Systems 1st Army Division and the united Systems Marine Corps.


Mars - Sol System
Mars is the second planet of mankind, colonized in 2037 and fully terraformed in 2053. Its population count now 105 million people and it's defended by the 2nd Mobile Infantry Brigade, that depends from the 1st Division. Its current governor is the former chancellor Jewell Wichern.


Titan - Sol System
Titan was colonized in 2040 and not yet fully terraformed due to its extremely low temperature. Its population count nearly 30 million people. It houses the command of the 2nd Army Division and it's governed by administrator Ewan Farmer


Mercury - Sol System
Mercury was a ming colony at the start of the space colonization. It's now become a full colony with 7 million people living in refrigerated cupolas due to nearly 450° Celsius burning tis surface. It's administered by Isaac hudson


Venus - Sol System
Venus history is similar to Mercury, it becomes a full colony with 5 million citizens and it's administered by Isabelle Randall


Centauria - Alpha Centauri System
Centauria was colonized in 2050 and it's shared with the reptilian humanoid called "Centaurians". The world is similar to Earth, and the relations with the aliens are good, thanks to the soft-politics of its administrator, Andria Caamano. Anyway, it houses the command of the 3rd Army Division and is populated by 3 million humans.


Solaria - Alpha Centauri System
Solaria was colonized in 2050 prior to Centauria. It was then terraformed and its atmosphere become fully breathable in 2059. It house alien ruins that was studied by human scientists and then the dig site become a military lab of the Union. It's administered by Charlie Parker and it housed 2,5 million humans.


Hope - Wolf 359 System
Hope is the only planet colonized in the Wolf 259 System in 2057. The terraforming process is started and actually 1,5 million humans live on its surface. It's administered by Charles Finch and it houses the 5th Army Division.


Elysium - Barnards Star System
Elysium is a moon of the fourth planet of the Barnards Star System and it was colonized in 2059. Its population amount to 400,000 people and it's been terraformed. It's administered by Liesel Hartmann.


Capricorn - Barnards Star System
Capricorn was colonized in 2059 in conjunction with Elysium. It's been terraformed due to its rare athmospere. It's populated by 350,000 people and it's governed by Maeda Ami. It houses the command of the 4th Army Division.







The ground forces of the United Systems are subdivided in three branches, the Army, the Marines, and the Engineer Corps.

The United Systems Army is disposed on 5 division composed mainly by Mobile Infantry Battalions. The Army is commanded by General Josh Baker who is also in charge of the 1st Division and its main purpose is to protect and keep control of the human colonies through the space.

The Marine Corps, stationed on Earth is commanded by Major-General Elliot Nolan. It's mainly purpose is to project the force of the Union agains possible future enemies. It's composed by only 1 brigade with a special company, the so-called "101th Marine Company Omega".

The Engineer Corps is a special units that operated on alien ruins on the Alpha Centauri systems. Composed by soldiers, geologist and xenologists, they are used in particular situation where extreme caution and scientific method of analysis is needed. They are considered a special unit and are subdiveded in two "Tech Groups".

The followings are the three badge of the armed forces:







The United Systems have two fleets active, the US Starfleet, th civilian fleet, and the US Navy, the military fleet. The third fleet that is being composed is the Marine Fleet, but currently it's only on cadre status.

The three fleets are commanded by Grand General Sophia Blake, the hero that guide the first human explorations on board the Prometheus Science Vessel.


THE STARFLEET

The Starfleet is commanded by Admiral Clinton Pitz and its purpose is to explore and colonize the galaxy along all the tasks, like logistical ones, that involve them.
It's disposed on five departments:

  • USCD - Colonization Department
  • USED - Engineering Department disposed on the GABU Fleet, with the Gate Building ship USV Baleares, and the SALREC Fleet, the Salvage and Recovery fleet that manages with orbital wrecks and ship recoveries
  • USLD - Logistic Department disposed on two trnsport fleets
  • USSD - Scientific Department that is composed by geological and gravitational surve vessels
  • USUD - Utility Department that is composed by multi-purpose vessels like transport shuttles.


THE NAVY

The Navy is the armed fleet of the United Systems, it is commanded by Admiral Leon Yates who was the Intelligence Officer of the old Federal Fleet, and it's disposed on four fleets that cover the four system colonized and two utility fleets.

The navy currently is composed by three type of warships: two new-generation Typhoon Class Battleships, eight new-generation Battlefield Class Destroyers, and five old Warlord Class cruisers.

The fleets are the follows (click to enlarge):

along the four battlefleets, there is the Support Fleet that houses the fleet tanker USS Leyton, and the Tranport Fleet, with the three Longbow Class troop transport ships.
