Novacom Factbook
Official Name:Novacom
Natives reffered to as: Novan
Current Leader:Suprainister Denteth Tolion
Currency:The Novon
Formation Date: 5,000 BC
Governmental Description:Novacom is led by the Suprainister, and underneath him is the Council of Ministers, This Body is re-elected every 5 years, Candidates are selected from a vast pool of hopefuls, The Study of Politics doesn't actually exist in Novacom and the Ministers do not view themselves as politicians. Instead they view themselves as servants of the people, to Study politics is viewed as arrogant as that person assumes that they will be wanted or are capable of leading the people, instead candidates are often the best in their chosen field, for example the Minister for Economy post would have several of the best Economists selected, The Minister for The Environment would have the best Ecologists, Environmentalists or Natural Scienctists and so on.
The Candidates are then assessed on their other qualities as the best Economist might also possess some less than admirable qualities. Once the pool of Candidates is whittled down to a reasonable number usually less than 50, The Campaigning begins, Political parties are banned and instead the Governemnt supplies the funds for campaigns and the Broadcasting Network NTN is legally obligated to give out a fair division of time for Political advertising, Candidates are also expected to give speeches at the weekly rallies and any promises they make must be part of their policies which if they get into office must either carry out or present a viable reason for not doing so. Once those policies have been carried out the minister usually has a free hand in drawing up policies however though all Policies are voted on by the Council of Ministers, usually a body of 12 with the Suprainister chairing it.
The Suprainister is either the first born male child of the previous Suprainister and also has to have shown the qualities that are expecxted of a Suprainister, if these qualities are not present the suprainister's other male children may be tested, if none possess the correct qualities then a child who does will be sought out, and then marry the Suprainister's Daughter. The Suprainister's Wife also holds an important role in the Government, she will often do as much public speaking as the Suprainister and if the Suprainister is unable to attend a council of ministers meeting the wife will fill in, in some cases the Suprainister will defer to his wife in terms of deciding votes. The Suprainister's wife has the official title of Sepranster.
Novacom holds weekly sometimes daily rallies for the people, they are often a fantastic sight and allow the Suprainister and the people to show their loyatly to the nation and it's ideals often the main problemn with these rallies is keeping the spectators from joining in the rally. The Rallies often last a minimum of an hour and at the end their is always a speech by either the Suprainister if it is the weekly rally or special occasion or by an individual chosen by lot.
Novacom is Highly Isolationist with no maps of their Homeislands existing anywhere in the world except for within the Homeislands themselves, the only known Islands are the surrounding Fotress Port Islands, Novacom Utilises bleeding edge Jamming Technology that coupled with the Bermuda Triangle like storms in Novacom Territory have ensured that not even the most advanced of Satalities, radar or other forms of detection can even make out even a fragment of one of the Novacom Homeislands, this coupled with the Militaries policy of shooting down or sinking intruders after a warning Novacom territory looks set to be a mystery for many hundred years more, even if ships or aircraft were to get through they wouldn't be able to detect anything as while Novacom Military equipment was built with these conditions in mind other nations equipment were not, especially as the severity of the conditions is always underestimated by outsiders.
Culture:Novan Culture is deeply loyal and fanatical to their history, however though there is no religon whatsoever on any of the Novacom Homeislands this is due to the massive war at 4,000 BC involving the Nations first and only Religon the Diri E I G Ignen and the people, led by the charismatic Horjzen Kasudtonen the Diri E I G Ignen and their Divine Guard and supporters eventually fell, but not after a great deal of massacres that horrified the people and turned them forever against religon, even now they are strongly Atheist and on the Anniversery of the Diri E I G Ignen's Final defeat a great festival celebrates that, known as the Festical of light it is often a spectacular event that culminates in a massive torchlight parade leading to a re-enactment of the final battle, the Assault on Kikaralas Spire.
Novan's quite often enjoy a wide array of drinks and socialising however though if a person gets drunk they are quite often made to remember that by their friends, getting Drunk is not favourably looked on as Novan drinks are blended brewed and mixed in a way that you would need to consume a tremendous volume or consume a large volume in a short space of time to get drunk. Novan Parties are often a spectacular event and giving of gifts no matter how humble is extremly common.
Novan's value their privacy and secrecy highly, the will often be incredibly friendly to foreigners but are usually very stingy with information. Novan's will usually only respond to their name if they know the person inquiring otherwise they will only respond to being addressed by their official title.
Novan's also engage heavily in the arts with great inspiring pieces of music both vocal and instrumental while great epic carvings and paintings will often festoon museums. Cooking is also an artform with fruits and Vegetable's that only grow on the Novacom Homeisles used to create a symphony of flavours. Great pieces of Literature are also common in Novacom and their is a deep interest in history. After all when you live in a nation with Archives that have everything ever written stored within it's quite easy to get a comprehensive view of history. The Great Archives hold books lost to the world like many Greek Epics and books from the library of Alexandria usually if the information about the past is not in the archives then it it usually safe to assume that the information being searched for doesn''t exist or is known under a different name.
The Novacom Language is also a Mystery, as their have been no emmigrants and as such no-one can actually speak or even understand the cryptic speech or caligraphs. It is fortunate for outsiders however though that Novacom Scholars roam far and wide learning all the languages of the world in ages past and returned to teach the people them, English is known by all Novans. The Novacom Language often sounds like a heavily emotional song and it is impossible for a machine to speak the language as it requires emotions and intent to be expressed with each word, especially as saying the same word with different intent radically changes it's meaning.
Military: The Novacom Military is centered around the idea of controlling the battlefield, something they excel at their unique homelands forced them to develop their technology to be able to withstand all forms of electoronic interference, their technology is even immune to EMP. However though Novacom has never let this technology fall into enemy hands, Novacom further controls the battlefield by employing powerful jamming technology which scrambles all forms of communication and detection as well as targetting. Such advantages make the Novacom armies a potent enemy, especially when they field Enforcers, the elite of the Novacom Military all Novan soldiers are fanatical but no more so than the enforcers yet this fanatacism is not blind instead Novan soldiers will often charge at the enemies weakest points or if none exist they will create weak points by using their powerful Vigdegen Heavy Artillery Platfroms, Denzel Assault Bombers and HijirMobile Suits. Novacom Infantry are heavily armed and armoured and will often cleave straight through enemy lines and gut the enemy from the inside out.
Novacom Military Units
Mobile Suits
NAWCU Stands for Novacom Advanced Warfare Combat Unit and is a product of the terrain and conditions of the Novacom Homeisles, the NAWCU line is a unique concept in a world dominated by fighters and tanks, the NAWCU combines the best of both creating a usually lightly armoured (yet armoured enough to provide it defence against most light and medium tank cannon and anti aircraft systems) that is highly maneoverable and flexible while being able to in most cases bring a great deal of firepower to a point in short order.
NAWCU-529 Hijir/Ensign
As Customary with All Novan Designs the first stage is known as Ensign, the Ensign Hijir is a competent unit, nothing truly great it was deployed early in order to get the production lines off the ground, it is fairly capable but nothing truly exceptional. It had a variety of weaknessess among them was the tendancy for the engines to overheat, the excessive fuel consumption as the batteries had not yet been completed, the weaponry was also light armour also was a factor.
NAWCU-551 Hijir/Commodore
The Second stage of the Hijir Project the Commodore improves vastly on the Ensign model, engine overheating has been dealt with due to a complete redesign ot the engines and the implemntation of Tesla Battery technology, they also sport a powerful 122mm Assault rifle on a sacle fitting of a Mobile suit, Rate of Fire is slow however but accuracy is more prized than rate of fire by some pilots. This stage however brought in it's own problems reduced speed and range however though the armour problem has still yet to be addressed.
NAWCU-567 Hijir/Elite
The Third stage of the Hijir Project and the most widespread in terms of numbers produced, nearly all problems have been ironed out and no new ones introduced, speed, range and armour have been greatly increased while actually lowering the weight due to composite armour materials. Battery Technology at the time of introduction was still relativley new so combat time was still limited to about 2 hours before requiring a recharge, perhaps it's only true weakness.
NAWCU-582 Hijir/Vanguard
The Final stage of the Hijir Project, the advent of the Vindicator assured that this unit would have a shorter lifespan than it's earlier incarnations, truly a pity in the eyes of some pilots, this Model has almost disgusting levels of destructive potential, it is outfitted with 120 Stalker Anti Armour/Air Rockets or if required 4 Piledriver Missiles used for heavy assault. Rate of fire has been greatly improved however though pilots are still conservative with cutting loose to avoid exhausting supplies, something hard to do with the extensive supplies the unit carries, just before the approval of this stage for production a new innovation in Batery Technology was trialed, Tesla Batteries essentially making Range as long as the endurance of the pilots, while the battery could be over exerted it could not however be exhausted completly due to the nature of the technology, the launch time of the Vanguard Hijir is superior to all before it. Considered by many in the Novacom Military to be the Perfect combat unit.
Other Variants: The Hijir Model lends itself well to Modification and for the Elite and Vanguard Model several variants were created, the Hijir/Reconnaisance a long distance reconnaisance unit that sacrifices some firepower for extended range and speed. The Hijir/Viggen is perhaps the most widespread use unit, based on the Vanguard model it has been heavily modifed to be controlled by the Novacom AI system IXION, it's reaction times far surpass that of a human and the sheer numbers often deployed will quite often rbutally massacre an enemy by the sheer precision and ferocity of an attack, even more so than standard Novacom Pilots.
NAWCU-802 Vindicator/Ensign
The first stage of the Vindicator design and the model currently in production, starting from scratch utilising all the lessons learned from the venerable Hijir Model Novacom Manufacturing created the Vindicator a powerful unit that utilises a powerful laser cannon known as a Damocles Emitter, or as it's properly reffered to as a DDBC Damocles Derivative Battle Cannon, What the Damocles that it is derived from is unknown to the rest of the world as is nearly anything and everything about Novacom. The Vindicator sports 75mm of armour all round however though the chances of actually being able to hit a Vindicator are truly non existant when you factor in the incredibly powerful engine powered by next the next generation of Tesla Batteries, the only true weakness is the endurance of the pilot as too much speed could cause the pilot to pass out forcing the Pilots to wear specialised suits to compensate for this. Although in it's first stage the Vindicator is an extremly capable unit, inevitably in time faults and weaknessess in the design will be discovered and several have already been identified, Overheating of the Damocles Emitter, Stalker Missiles launchers will not target correctly for a short period after the unit going at maximum speed and several other faults.
NAWCU-788 "AKU"
The AKU or Amphibious Kombat Unit is an Amphibious Attack Mobile suit, named for the God of dreams the AKU is a powerful unit that excells underwater, the AKU is derived from the Hijir model and as such does not sport a Ranking, the AKU excells at destroying shipping and land targets it is a true powerhouse designed for maximum aggression, the design however is statring to reach it's limit, and the only true way to launch it effectivley is from a Vonsulas they are incapable of flight instead opting for high speeds on land and underwater.
Support
Vigdegen Heavy Artillery Platform
The Vigdegen is a powerful self propelled Artillery piece that can also function as a command center, it sports no less than 10 200m long range assault cannon and will often in small groups anhialate enemy armies from a distance. It is also equipped with several Stalker Rocket launchers to act as defence against armoured units and enemy aircraft.
Denzel Assault Bombers
Furthering the Novacom Doctorine of Controlling the Batlefield the Denzel is a heavily armed and extremly fast bomber, it's payload can be delivered quiclly and with almost unnatural accuracy against a target and then withdraw before an enemy has truly realised what has happened, Common loadouts are Stalker Anti Air and Armour Rockets, Piledriver Missiles, Monolith Missiles, Vongo Bombs, Discord Cluster Bombs.
Stalker Missiles are the Standrad rocket used by Novacom forces against moderatly armoured land units and against any aerial unit, they travel at high speeds and will attack their target without fail.
Piledriver Missiles are the most widespread missile in battlefield use in the Novacom Armoury, these long Missiles are often best used against ships and installations however smaller versions exist for use against heavily armoured targets. The Piledriver is made up of segments that when the missile impacts in a target will explode back to the impact point often creating a gaping hole at the impact point making the target vulnerable to attack. These Missiles are highly effective and should never be overlooked by enemy commanders, especially at sea.
Naval
The ships of the Novacom Navy are all designed with the capacity to carry at least 2 Squadrons of Hijir, totalling in 30 units. Larger vessels will obviously carry considerably more, All Novacom ships house powerful jammers which cramble both methods of detection and Communication.
Kivazan class Aircraft Carriers
The Trimaran hulled Kivazan Aircraft Carriers are fearsome opponenets they can carry in excess of 1,000 aircraft however launching the full compliment will often take in excess of 15 minutes. They are moderatly well armed and armoured for an AIrcraft carrier however like all other Carriers they rely on their Potent iacraft compliment and other ships for defence, the Kivazan houses highly advanced methods of detection and communication vital to the co-ordination that is such an intergal part of Novacom military strategy, they house powerful Tesla Generators recently replacing the Nuclear Reactors that formerly powered them making their range as far as they can sfaely be supplied for their crews.
Sentinal Class Destroyers/Patrollers
One of the most Numerous Novacom Naval vessels after Temeltean Logistic ships, Sentinals patrol the vast borders to Novacom Territory, a small vessel they are fairly well armed and armoured for their size, however their real punch comes from the 2 squadrons of Mobile suits it can carry many a would be explorers have been repulsed or sent running by the sight of a destroyer with an air compliment, the ship itself is often used in a scouting role boasting advanced maritime detection capability and if needed can be fitted with racks to carry AKU's.
Daokrellzus Class Battleships
The most Notorious of the Daokrellzus class is the NNS Kenzal, the ship itself carries 250 Mobile Suits in addition to 10 Parridigrams and 20 Denzel's. The Daokrellzus is equipped with 20 20 inch ETC "Vondugel XIX" Guns in 6 twin mountings, 10 15 inch ETC "Kizkurrel XXV" Guns in 5 twin mountings and 4 25 inch ETC "Heduras X" Guns in 2 twin mountings as well as a comphrensive CIWS and AA system. The Daokrellzus is often reffered to by many in the Novacom Navy as Batleship sized SD, Only recently has an SD program been commisioned and this itself was very nearly compromised by the Rebel Admiral, Admiral Kukonois.
Vonsulas class submarine
THe Majority of Vonsulas' have been radically upgraded and redesigned, they utilise like all other Novacom ships Tesla Reactors to give them a range that is only tempered by their supply lines. The Vonsulas is a fast well armed attack sub that can carry 10 AKU's and launched them through 2 large "Hangars" which launch them in a manner similar to torpedos. Vonsulas use a variation on Novacom Jamming technology to make the "black area" as it were not as obvious to enemy forces.
Niretailion Class Corvettes
The Niretailion is often refered to as the Guardian of the Novacom fleets it excells in the role of Anti Air, Anti Missile and Anti Sub warfare, it often acts as an escort to other larger Novacom warships and is rarely alone, something that in the past has always been bad news for would be enemies who would often look on in sheer horror as their attacks would be largley nullified by these humble ships, leaving them to use more tradiotnal methods of attackins namley, their big guns handing the advantage to Novacom forces who with their faster ships will often outmaneover the enemy or blitz them with an Air Armada of which the Niretailion contributes 75 Mobile Suits to.
Maljuras Class Dreadnoughts
The Maljuras is the heavy hitter of the Novacom Navy and while it has a compliment of a mere 200 Mobile Suits it makes up for it with a terrifying armnament of both standard guns similar to those on a Daokrellzus it also has massive launching bays for huge missile bombardments, the Maljuras class is a truly powerful ship and is often a key player in any battle.
Vihghanaleas Class Cruisers
The Fastest ship apart from a Sentinal in the Novacom Navy moderatly armed but heavily armed squadrons of these often carry out missions of lesser importance to the Novacom Navy, they are an efficient design managing to carry around a hundred Mobile Suits and still manage to house a powerful armnament compliment.
Temeltean Class Logistics ships
Temeltean's are Vital ships, they are capable of given the resources of producing some smaller scale items for fleets such as ammunition small arms and the like. They are large vessels and can hold many trillions of tons of supplies. They are heavily armoured and lightly armed, they carry 250 Mobile suits for defence however they are first and foremost meant for logistics and in combat engagement they will move to the rear or return to base before combat can begin.
Legacy Class Super Dreadnought (Construction 90% complete)
The Legacy class is at present on hold pending repairs to the Construction facilities which were damaged by Admiral Kukonois' forces as they attempted to hijack the prototype before it could be completed, information on it's capabilities and capacities at this moment are classified.
Experimental Design
NAWCF (Novacom Advanced Warfare Concept Fortress) Project Jindrax
Project Jundrax is being pushed by General Kitas for greater funding, the idea behind it was inspired by the tales of how the Diri E I G Ignen temples literally flew away from where they once were. Details are Top Secret on this enigmatic project, though onne thing is sure, it has some conncetion to Damocles...
More on these later
The Enforcers: The Enforcers were first formed over 6,500 years ago they are an elite force that has slowly evolved into many divisions. So Far there eixts
Silver Skull Enforcers: The most numerous of all Enforcers they often see front line duty, they are highly trained and are some of the most dangerous soldiers out there, they have some special operations training but are mainly used as shock troops. Silver Skull Enforcer's also act in a role similar to that of Commissar in the Regular Novacom Military leading units into battle.
Gold Skull Enforcers: They are the elite military cadre, even more elite than the Silver Skull, Gold Skull Enforcers are used as elite troops and often accompany a commander, they are fully trained in covert ops special operations and every facet of war, they are trained on every single Novacom design and can easily take charge of any situatiion.
Storm Emforcers: Formed during World War 2 the Storm Enforcers are an elite formation that specialises on fast assaults they are often dropped in behind enemy lines and do what they do best, cause havoc they are usually used to disrupt enemy organisation by cutting it off at the head, they specialise in Assassinations and advanced combat technique.
Capitol Enforcers: Formed during the immediate aftermath of the great war against the Diri E I G Ignen the Capitol Enforcers are an unusal division, they are essentially military police, they also act as the Novacom Police enforcing the laws and ensuring justice is served, they rarely see combat but have been trained in a home guard role should the Homeisles ever be invaded. They are a more civilian unit however and are rarely deployed on the front lines.
Black Skull Enforcers: The most secretive division of Enforcers, they act as the Novacom Secret police for want of a better phrase. Joint co-operation with the Soviet Union during the Cold war led to multiple ideas and techniques being shared, foremost amonsgt these were Psychic techniques, Black Skull Enforcers often work by themselves and act are sometimes deployed in covert ops, through their Psychic powers they can coerce even the strongest of minds to do their bidding and can even move small objetcs with their powers, they are extremly dangerous and kill with a mere thought, however though development of the mind has not been to the detriment of the body, Black Skull Enforcers are raised from an early age to be the best they are often perfect physical specimens and through various techniques can enter a healing trance to completly recover from injuries in a matter of days, also they can transmute liquids from one form to another, for example turning posinous toxins into drinking water and vica versa. Black Skull Enforcers are never to be underestimated even if they do not appear to be in the room they can twist minds to make it appear that no one is there when instead a whole army could be waiting. These Enforcers are incredibly dangerous individuals and should be avoided at all cost, by both friend and foe...
Damocles
The Novacom Superweapon, Damocles is top secret and highly Classified, it was first constructed by unknown means by unknown people on the Island of Atlantis, during the time of the Diri E I G Ignen it was heralded as being created by Hartrussen the great good of craftswork, Perhaps these is something to that as when it was redisocovered, just before World War 2 it was discovered it would require the power of Nuclear Energy to power it, as the logo of the Diri E I G Ignen was discovered to be the same as that of Nuclear radiation. Damocles was eventually reactivated at the end of the Seonc World War with disasterous consequences for the allies, it was used as a counter balance to Allied Nuclear Capabilities and it's presence ensured that the Americans were to keep out of the region usually.
By the time of the year 2000, New moethods of Energy Generation had been perfected and the Nuclear method was discontinued, instead powered by Tesla Generators. Around this time a system known as the Hilt of Damocles was also perfected, it was a network of 500 satalites in orbit, specially designed for several purposes, the Original Damocles weapon used a complex redirection cartdige however though this was found to be vulnerable should it be targetted, and by some freak of nature it manage to get through the formidable Novacom defences, the Redirection cartridge at present is being heavily studied to see what secrets it can yield.
The Hilt of Damocles satalites are Orbital Redirection Mirrors, sometimes reffered to as ORM's or Mirror Blocks, When Damocles is ready to fire it will fire the laser at a Mirror block precisely aligned overhead and that satalite will redirect the blast to another satalite in the network, if nessacery it can split the beam to 12 other Mirror Blocks, the beam can be redirected several times however though if it continues to be spilt it's firepower also decreases. When the beam is at a satalite over it's target it will be reamplified and targetted down to earth. There is no defence against Damocles, the only possible defence is not to become a target in the first place, Damocles is unfailingly accurate and it's power depends on how what setting it was placed at time of firing.
A system known as the Aegis of Damocles is also in development which spilts the beams and weaves them into a wall of energy, a primitive sheild method as it were, however though while like this Damocles can only fire a low intensity burst at other targets.
Power Settings:
Low Intensity: A Low Intensity Blast is capable of destroying a target completly, if say a city were targetted it would be completly obliterated and only hardened structures underground would perhaps survive.
Recharge Rate: 1 hours
Medium Intensity:
A Medium Intensity blast is capable of destroying even harded structures underground, it is the typical blast fired unless more or less power is needed in the eyes of the military.
Recharge Rate: 1 Day
High Intensity:
A High Intensity Blast can cause horrific destruction over a wide area, the only thing it stops short of it actually destroying the very land itself, Nothing can stand against this blast which dwarfs the power of most nuclear weapons.
Recharge Rate: 3 Days
Full Power:
A full Power Blast is capable of completly and utterly Vapourising a small country of the face of the earth, it has only ever been deployed in this way once and would only ever be deployed again as a last resort, Genocide is not in the Novacom Psyche and never will do, it it were nessacery to fire at this power it would be done so with great remorse.
Recharge Rate: 5 Days, Also requires the replacement of the Orbital Redirection Mirror
TBC
Novacom History :Novacom was formed in the year 5,000 BC originally ruled by a fanatical Religous Cult known as the Diri E I G Ignen (more on them in another section) for 500 years they ruled until eventually infighting broke out into a massive cicivl war, massacre's were frequent and this gave birth to the Destiny movement, led by Vorenzel Jindrax a mighty warrior the goal of the Destiny Movement was to free the Novacom people from the grip of religon and create a fair society. The war went on for a hundred years and the Maljuras Faction of the Diri E I G Ignen was near the brink of Victory, their Coveneant guard, who were brain washed fanatical warriors always masked and in terrifying armour had brought may cities under their sway, however the Vidurrel Faction had siezed Atlantis, the Island Temple sacred to Hartrusen the great craftsmen, it was here that the cultists tried to empower the Sword of Damocles, a weapon said to be built by the gods themsleves they however discovered that it order to power it they would need to power it with blood, something their Lord Priest had no qualms with and so they sent their Blood Guard to raid cities under the sway of the Covenant guard, the Covenant guard caught off guard by geurilla like tactics recoiled under orders from the Lord priest. During this the Destiny Movement had built up a great powerbase, uniting once more the outer island cities as well as the noble people of Kikerallas peak and waged war against them both, the Destiny Movement's Own shock troops, The Enforcer's were thrown into the battle fighting like demons possessed eventually the Armies of the Maljuras cult were overwhelmed trapped at the base of Kikerallas peak.
Next Vorenzel turned his attention to Atlantis, the Blood Guard Navy fought valiantly sending many ships to the bottom with them but eventually they too were overwhelmed, upon landing on Atlantis an entire army led by Vorenzel Jindrax himself charged to engage with the vast army, at the height of the cataclysmic conflict Vorenzel Jindrax and a cadre of his finest warriors seemingly vanished off the battlefield. Much to the Mystery of the Blood Guard Captains they soon discovered why. THey had discovered the way into the temple, many Covenenant Guard who had fled to protect a temple of their god and accepted the command of another Lord Priest along with Blood Guard and the Temple's own Iron Maidens, great figures of a mysterious metal who fought with inhuman strength and valour. the fighting was heroic and the very grounds of the temple ran red with the thick flow of blood.
In the heart of the Temple in a room that was said to at one point be the home of the Craftsman God himself the Lord priest and the last of the Covenant Guard, Blood Guard and Iron Maidens made their last stand the batle was monumental and fire itself errupted across the lands world wide as if the gods themsleves were trying to save their followers but it could not save them, eventually Vorenzel Jindrax's Enforcers were no more, their last act to take their counterparts with them, now only the Lord Priest and the brave Vorenzel remained, The Lord priest called down divine lighting to strike VOrenzel but his great sword sundered the lightning and cleaved the Lord Priests head clean from his body, thus ending the Great war and forever destroying Religon as a factor in Novacom.
Over the next 4,000 years the people of Novacom would rebuild their once proiud culture to previously unreached heights, One thing remained the same however, no-one dared approach Novacom Territory for none had ever returned sent to the bottom by mysterious warships, Novans were viewed as hrabringers of destiny and did bore gifts only to those willing to accept them otherwise those who did not paid for them in full, for a Novans gift was advice, prophecies from the Legendary Prophetess Viginias the Consort of Vorenzel Jindrax, her prophecies were enshrined in a great Archive and they spanned from her time during the war against the Diri E I G Ignen all the way to the year 2,000 AD and beyond.
Peace would reign for another 500 years after the fateful battle at Atlantis, when the most strange thing would happen, Atlantis would seemingly vanish off the face of the earth and great storms would form across all the lands, even worse the temples of the Diri E I G Ignen which had survived the war had inexplicably taken to the skies, a great panic ensued as the massivly ornate temples would fly away it almost defied beleif and caused wide spread havoc as the temples took a full month to fully leave Novacom Territory when another disaster struck, The Novacom Colonies were gone, vanished completly off the face of the earth. Confusion reigned for a short time resulting in a massive upsurge in Capitol Enforcer numbers and the first step to Novacom's future enigma had been taken. The Storms would continue to infest Novacom Territory until present day, it was only at the advent of the Industrial Revolution that Novacom discovered the nature of these storms, they destroyed anything electronic. This held Novacom back until roughly the 1700's when they then cracked the secret on how to protect their advances, by the 1900's they had managed to advance enough to have viable protection against the storms, however outsiders would not be so lucky, and the storms coupled with the potent Novacom Military were able to protect Novacom Territory from all advances by the powers of World War II, During the Cold War Novacom further studied the mysterious storms managing to find a haunting similarity between the storms of Novacom and those of the Bermuda Triangle, somewhere that even now is unexplored by Novacom. Eventually Novacom developed Potent Jamming systems which recreated the effects of the storms and thus an important part of the Novacom Military machine was now solidified, the Jammers would block out all methods of Communications, Detection, co-ordination targeting and practically every other function imaginable however the duplication is not yet perfect as the Jamming only manages to block these completly opposed to the storms completly anhialating unsheilded technology, the methods of which are one of Novacom's most closely guarded secrets.
During World War 2 a Certain Admiral, Admiral Malo Kukonois was extremly ative to say the least. For reasons unknown to anyone but him he leaked information to the Allies about the Axis plans and vica versa, it is thanks to him that the war went on so long as he was constantly feeding false information and truth alike to both sides, he eventually fled Novacom with his followers, declaring the Tolions to be corrupt and the eventual destruction of Novacom. Admiral Kukonois would continue to be a constant threat, he was fascinated by the idea of Submarine's and before he left he pioneered their design, use and tactics involving them, even now Admiral Kukonois navy has the ability to go under water even the battleships handing to him a critical advantage, where Admiral Kukonois' base is, is unknown though there is a growing suspicion especially with the recent discovery of the Diri E I G Ignen being allied with the Admiral that his base is in the Bermuda Triangle, which would explain why Novacom has never been able to explore the place.
History is still a WIP
The Millenium Promise
At the beginning of the year 2000 the dawn of the new Millenium, Suprainister Malo Tolion made an announcement to the people, and a promise. The Millenium Promise was a number of points, not all of them were made public, one of them was however to make Novacom a Nuclear Free Zone, analysts were greatly confused over this as the Nation had maintained a potent nuclear deterrent, in reality this promise was carried out to the letter, the Nuclear Detterent instead moved to Novacom Military Bases Worldwide, Nuclear Reactors were decomissioned instead replaced with Tesla Generators which now constitute 80% of the Nations Energy generation capacity, the remainder are either Geothermal Solar or Hydroelectirc/Tidal. A program of Genetic "cleaning" was also commenced, in essence for the next 20 years critical changes were made to human embryo's removing the genes that caused genetic defects completly, by now these changes have bred through the generations and as such embryo's are still screened but no further modifications are done. There are other elements of the Millenium Promise, but details are sketchy and as with all information Novacom doesn't look set to release it to the world in a hurrt.
The Diri E I G Ignen: The Diri E I G Ignen were a proud religous cult they worshipped the following gods.
Maljuras, The great Guardian to the Gates of Destiny and Master of Fate
Hartrusen, The great craftsmen god, it is said he was ordered to forge a people, and they were humans.
Jindrax, The Keeper of knowledge, the great dragon of the ages he presided over the realities created by the paths of destiny, the Brother of Maljuras he also is keeper of all gifts of Humanity and bestows them as and when nessacery.
Vidurrel, Goddess of existance she gave birth to the planet when she was consort of Maljuras and attempted to subvert his powers for her own gain.
Korodomir, Goddess of the lands beyond destiny, the afterlife she is possessed of three avatars, an Avatar of Truth, an Avatar of Deception and an Avatar of neutrality they depict the most prominent of Destines taken.
Aku, God of Dreams and health, he is the keepers of dreams and the source of all inspiration as well as a close friend of Jindrax for Intelligence and Inspiration often go hand in hand.
The Diri E I G Ignen beleive that the world was given borth to as a living entity by the great goddess Vidurrel when she was consort of Maljuras, Humans were created by Hartrussen, he created Humans with equal gifts and then bestowed upon them the ability to learn under the aspect of Jindrax the god of all gifts, it was Jindrax's domain to ensure that those who were cpabale of receiving his gifts were bestown them, these gifts could be simple things like the knowledge to swim or complicated things like alchemy.
Diri E I G Ignen on Creation: In the beginning there existed the great gods and goddess living as one in their divine sanctuary, often busying themsleves with sports and games, however all was not well for Vidurrel envious of Maljuras eminence amonsgt the Pantheon sought to usurp his power and became his consort, Maljuras seeing an oppourtunity to himself take advantage of Vidurrel who had been empowered as the life-giver, to create a land for a people to be placed upon.
After many months however Maljuras struck Vidurrel for daring to attempt to enter the Sanctum of Destiny, where he would eventually come to judge the fate of all things and allow them access through the doorways of Destiny so they may go forward in life. the Divine Sanctuary rang loud with a great cry as Vidurrl pregnant to epic proportions conceived the great earth, itself a living entity, the Gods hung the newborn planet in the stars and tended to it allowing it to grow strong as Trees and other environs sprung up they knew the time had come.
Maljuras urged Hartrussen to forge a people to inhabbit the young planet, after many attempts which gave birth to first the Dinosaurs however though the newborn planet had been improperly placed and the Divine Sanctaury struck wiping out the dinosaurs, after much effort the divine sanctuary once more ascended to the skies and Hartrussen once more unertook creation, this time giving life to the animals of the world and a race of people. Humans in them he gave the greatest gift of all, Potential under Jindrax great god of gifts, instead of being given qualities and being perfect they were instead given leave to learn to question and to experiment. Thus we have the world in it's present form.
Diri E I G Ignen on life after death: Vidurrel is the source of all life, she empowers all living things and allows them to reproduce, she is the giver of life at war time she is opposed to Maljuras Giver of Destiny and the one who decides when that individuals destiny has been reached and their life shall end. In times of peace the 2 are consorts though at war they are often bitter enemies, one thing however does not change Korodomir is Stewardess of the dead, it is she that cares for those who pass beyond Destiny. From the Onyx Throne of judgement she decides how the spirit shall reside in her realm, for her realm is the great Beyond and at the center of it is the Palace of Fate, her realm is a dimension beyond this and is comprised of several areas, Ascension is for those who lived good lives not nessacerily in worship of the gods but a good life nonetheless will spend a thousand years in a paradise beyond all mortal ken and in time they will be honoured with a visit to the gods and begin their ascension to a Guiding Spirit, a benevolent demi-god who's task it to wander the worlds given birth to by Vidurrel and help those struggling in their lives.
Those who merely lived with nothing spectcaular neither right or wrong go to the Xanthol a place of prophecy here they see whsipers of the future and can commune with the infinite, the place is a pleasent paradise and allows the spirits who make it here to enjoy eternity and if they so wish after 1,000 years after leaving their old life behind in the Eterntiy Crystals they after obtaining permission from Maljuras and Vidurrel descend to the mortal world and are born once again to the flesh, but as they leave their old selves in the Eternity Crystals they do not remember anything and are only reunited with their formerselves when they once again come to the Xanthol.
For those who were wicked or cruel or generally bad their was the Grendal a great beast who would chase them through the Valgen a great hellish pit that defines despair and remorse, for a thousand years these souls are tormented and teriffied and by this they are purified and the evil remains to collext in crystals known as Terrnoks they may then beseech Korodomir for new judgement and usually they will go to the Xanthol, Evil is not viewed as something people are born with but an impurity let in by harsh times or other woeful circumstances. Occasionally however the Terrnoks become so swollen with evil that they give spawn to a being of pure evil, once every 500 years such a being is born and if it has children then that evil shall be passed down that dynasty, often however the Terrnoks will shatter and while most fragments do not escape the great beyond and are reforged anew some fragments will reach the mortal plain and corrupt to a lesser extent an indiviudal and his descendants.

Novacom Personell (The Major Character Description Bit): The Novan people are highly secrative, however though there are some indiviudals who's fame or notoreity has spread beyond the hidden Novacom Home Isles.
Note: Not all of these have made an appearance in any of my RP's yet but some are here for refernce purposes as they may have been mentioned by name or I could be looking for the right time to bring them in.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v619/DK_Viceroy/Suprainister.jpg
Suprainister Denteth Tolion: The son of Malo Tolion and the fifth consecutive Tolion to ascend to Suprainister-hood. The man is a genius and is gifted with remarkable insight he has been able to successfully navigate through numerous tricky situations over the past 10 years. His ingeniousness has also allowed his Father's Millenium Promise to become reality, with the extensive funding into research viable Tesla Generators have been developed and then further honed, thus finally able to decomission all Nuclear facilities. Lately however he is undergoing great strain as he directs what appears to be the final stages of the war against the Resurgant Heir to Admiral Kukonois Legacy, The original Admiral Kukonois, Malo Kukonois' great grandson Vostov Kukonois, battles against Admiral Kukonois have been intensifying world wide with fully 1 quarter of Novacom Military strength directed against him. This would not have been possible had not Denteth pushed through a series of wide ranging reforms through the Council of Ministers radically changing the armed forces of Novacom, he is beloved of the Novacom people and his steadfast determination to do right by the Novacom state, ideals and people are beyond question.
Foreign Minister Hugoro Sarestus: Minister Hugoro is famous for being the longest standing minister in the Novacom Governement, his travels have been extensive, and he is widely respected by Novans and other world leaders for his cool head and flexible negotiation style, although nearly 50 years old he shows no signs of letting up in his efficient work and is at present holding a momentous event in the Novacom Homeisles, he with the Suprainister's permission welcomed the first forteigners onto Novacom Soil.
Commander Rey Anatos: The Masked Ace of the Novacom Military, it is unknown why he wears the mask, though despite this he is trusted implicitly, his skill in a Mobile suit is greatly admired having in his first engagement shot down 30 F-22 Raptors in 20 minutes, his innovative tactics and daring style of leadership has propelled him up the ranks. He often enjoys reading through Novan literature and is fascinated by the lore of the Diri E I G Ignen something that he is careful to make sure that it is only a healthy interest. 7 years earlier he rescued the survivors of an Admiral Kukonois attack from being brutally massacred like the rest of the victims had been.
He was overjoyed to find out that he had been assigned the new Requiem Mobile suit, an advanced concept fighting machine that far surpasses any design in existence world wide. His skill in a mobile suit is not his only valued trait, he has also recently been leading an elite unit of Enforcers, The Prophetess Squadron no less, This man's star will surely rise even more in the future and he shows no sign of letting up in his service.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v619/DK_Viceroy/Novacom/GeneralOttoKitas.jpg
General Otto Kitas: One of Novacom's Bulldog Generals, he is extremly adept in the arts of war and peace. For the past 10 years his command, Army Group Potolos has been engaged in the war against Admiral Kukonois, he is adept at the art of the 2 fold stratagem and his experiences have helped greatly in the development of many new military concepts, he has been pushing strongly for Project Jindrax to be given more and more resources, feeling that it will result in ultimate flexibility and battlefield control, something Vital when your opponent is expert at escaping even the most impossible of traps. He enjoys trying out foreign liquer coffee's and os possessed of a short temper, as was recently seen in Saint Fedski when he gave representatives from Kahanistan, Amestria and Xirnium a dressing down for acting like children, like all Novans he is fanatically loyal to the Novacom state.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v619/DK_Viceroy/Novacom/AmbassadorValcusTorrodell.jpg
Ambassador Valcus Torrodell: A Veteran Ambassador with an unusual Short temper, he is direct and straight to the point and a perfectionist, his input has been a cornerstone of Hugoro Sarestus' Foreign Policy. He had the great misfortune to spend his compulsory time in the Military when Admiral Kukonois was resurgant, the result of that is that he will often be unafraid of shouting the way he would in the military and feels free to boss soldiers about if he sees them slacking in itself a rare occurence. He is a notorious figure known for his brinkmanship and has on several occasions swung discussions in his favour during Foreign Comitee meetings. Valcus as a hobby sculpts and paints, he quite often takes out his fury on the materials and has created several interesting pieces.
Viginias the Legendary Prophetess: Viginias is a mysterious women it is she who made the predictions which even now continue to guide Novacom Policy, her unfailing sight sees far into the future. The Woman herself was first born over 6,500 years ago yet by some unknown mystery she still lives and looks exactly the same as she did way back then. She will often appear during times of great importance and lead them to a conclusion, if she appears then it is often taken as an omen, but for good or bad is always a depressing question to those in the know.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v619/DK_Viceroy/Novacom/GreatArchiveLibrarianDenoraTeltar.jpg
Denora Teltar: The Cheif Librarian of the Great Archives in the Great Catacombs of Novesia, the Novacom Capitol. Having studied the archives since a young age she knows the archives like no other, quite often she can tell someone is looking for someone and approach them and ask "could you be a little bit more specific on what you were looking for?" she is highly noticeable with her outlandish hairstyles which contrasts with her more traditional Archivists garb, she rarely leaves the archives but when she does she always goes to the peak of Kikeralas Mountain.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v619/DK_Viceroy/Novacom/BlackSkullEnforcerLieutenantDalsuls.jpg
Lieutenant Dasulse Falkonois: Dasulse Falkonois has only recently passed the rigorous traning Methods of the Black Skull Enforcers, he is like most Novans an Enigmatic individual, he has proven himself most capable in whatever he sets his mind to and has a somewhat devious sense of humour. Quite often his casual demenor belies the fierce determination within and he is not to be trifled with, like any other Black Skull Enforcer. He often enjoys Hot Choclate and has an intent interest in architecture.
Ensign Terretalan "Terry" Pamudoi: Terret is a truly Tragic figure, when he was 14 he and his Family were on a hourney back to the Novacom Homeisles after a trip to the war memorial at the Remnents of Yojika when an Admiral Kukonois Flotilla attacked the vessel which he and his family were on, the ship went down and somehow he was seperated from his family, he tried to at least stick with his younger sister Tiera but the only thing he was able to hold onto was the back of her coat, his grip slipped and in one last atempt to hold on to her he tried to grab back hold but all he succeded in doing was getting her pendant, later on the lifeboats he was wracked by worry, when he caught glimpse of his Mother father and sister, they were on another lifeboat, but then Admiral Kukonois' forces began sinking lifeboats, he looked on helplessly being heldback by the surviving crew of the ship, he was forced to look on in horror unable to turn away as Torrken's sank the boat, presumably killing his parents and sister, all he could hear were his father's last words, "Terry be true to yourself my son," the boat he was on was next when a squadron of Hijir swooped in and drove them away, the unit leading the squadron was a Hijir with unusual colouration who done most of the driving away and managed to sink the Torrken who had wiped his parents out and co-ordinated the rest of the Squadron in sinking the Sub-Battleship which had massacred so many civilians. The only other momento he has of his family is a gift from his father, a limited edition wrist band computer that after the prototype's were developed the line were discontinued, he is one of the sole owners of this device.
On Return to the Homeisles escorted by the Hijir Squadron he met the pilot of the unit that had saved him, the then Sergant Rey Anatos, he that day vowed that he would join the Military and become a pilot like Rey, he would make Admiral Kukonois pay for what he had done. The year after that after graduating from High School he did his complusory 3 years of Military service and after that enrolled in Novesia University studying advanced Electronics and Robotics, as well as Artificial Intelligence. he Graduated with honours and promptly joined the military where he fast earned a name for himself as an almost peerless pilot, this did not escape the notice of Suprainister Denteth Tolion who entrusted to him the Experimental unit, Prophecy.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v619/DK_Viceroy/Novacom/DefenceMinisterIzalienJhanhus.jpg
Defence Minister Izalien Jhanhus: Minister Izalian is the youngest member of the COuncil of Ministers, at the age of 27 she just recently replaced the former defence minister and has helped spearhead several brand new programs in co-operation with Economy Minister Beckett Jalenza, A close friend of General Otto Kitas and a faveourite of the Suprainister she looks set to have a bright future on the horizon. She enjoys sculpture and opera and is a frequent attender of the Massive Rallies in the Novacom Capitol, well traveled and with a friendly demeanor she is fast becomming a cornerstone in Novan Military Policy, while her diplomatic skills are nowhere near those of Foreign Minister Hugoro Sarestus they are certainly nothing to sniff at.
NOTE: Like all of the above this is Secret unless you've already discovered it ICly, and then if you use it in a RP and I find fault with it I will require proof of it.

Novacom Space Division
The Novacom Space Program is a flourishing Titan ran from the outer Novan Homeisle of Trinarigungo, from here the powerful yet hihgly reliable Tengal Rockets are launched into space. At the Headquarters located in the city of Trinario are located several laborotories that house several teams from Novacom Manufacturing, it is here that new innovations in Space Technology or often born. Lately however large amounts of Parridigram's have been imported to the island for an unknown purpose, there is some speculation that this prolific Novacom Transport is being modified and redesigned for planet to space transit.
Projects
Bondal
The Novacom Satalite Network now has over 2700 satalite's in orbit, it is a powerful system that fufill's many roles, intelligence GPS Communications as well as other more clandestine purposes.
Kramian Deltzar
The Top Secret Novacom Space Station, in a high orbit this large facility is at the very cutting edge of Space Technology and is constantly pushing the boundries, one thing of note however is the remarkably low amount of supplies required for a facility with over 500 personell.
Comments on this welcome :D
Excellent uniform, very sharp. What rank is the individual depicted?
You distinguish rank by the gold slide on the shoulder, I'll be posting up a copy of Rank Insignia in the near future, that image in particular is the good Commodore, Josh Delmuzan in standard uniform I need to alter it slightly for Enforcer's as Capitol Enforcers replace all the red trim with blue and the other military branches have a smaller Arrow of their colour (either Silver Gold or White) through the arrows.
Wow, Novacom, awesome work!
Far from finished yet, writing up some more Diri E I G Ignen lore as well as more of my history, I have a ton of stuff to get up, after it's done I'll be hunting round for someone who can do lineart to give my designs something for people to look at, descriptions can only do so much.
Thanks for the feedback it gives me the motivation to continue :D
Naval Details partly explained and I've done a small bit on the Diri E I G Ignen on Creation.
Character Description. Diri E I G Ignen on lifer after death, Expanded on military some more, Damocles Description in there.
Admiral Kukonois logo in, some description about him slipped in, Millenium Promise section began.
Looks great. I can tell you put alot of thought into this. Would you consider yourself Post Modern Tech? Oh and after so many genetic modifications in the past to purify your people, are they still capable of breeding with outsiders?
Most Certainly PMT, the Modifcations are relativley minor, and like I say only remove the genes (or alter them) that are the cause of Genetic disorders, it's done in a way for it to be passed on through reproduction, so yes Novans would be able to breed with outsiders,.
OOC: Question what type of blast setting is your Damocles weapon going to be at during our war?
Very impressive history. It was a nice read.
OOC: Does "Damocles" mean anything in Latin or something? Just wondering.
In Greek mythology, Damocles was given a banquet and had a sword suspended above his head by a single horse’s hair. The phrase “the sword of Damocles” thus came to mean ever-present peril.
I assume that this legend is to what your weapon's name refers, Novacom?
Iddeed it is Xirnium, my history at present is incomplete, more particularly the greek period, a fair deal of Novan and Greek Mythology borrowed heavily from the other, it was mainly one way due to the driving away of the Diri E I G Ignen early on.
and Xharn it will be a low powered blast, however low is a relative term compared to a full powered blast.
Updated Personell and added in some pictures as well as some new faces that have surfaced as of late :D
