The Kommissariat for Paranormal Activities (KPA)
Background Information

Originally the Sub-Kommissariat for Paranormal Investigations (S-KPI), the office was tasked with investigating supposed UFO sightings and other contacts that were occasionally reported to the Cynapsian Government. All this change on August 27, 1983, in what has become known among only the highest circles of government as the South Halifax incident.

At 3:27am, an unidentified flying object was targeted on radar moving fast and losing height rapidly. Fighter jets were scrambled to the area in order to investigate, by which time the UFO had impacted into the ground. Pilots reported large amounts of wreckage strewn across an area of the rainforest. Soldiers from the Newchester Garrisson were scrambled to the area to investigate. What they found shook the very foundations of the government.

Within hours, the S-KPI was called to the scene, with tales from shocked soldiers of "deformed bodies" and "strange wreckage." The team arrived to discover the wreckage of a craft of non-human origin, built of an alloy that scientists had never seen before. The bodies and the wreckage were moved quietly to the Newchester Garrison and kept in a secure Hanger whilst the bodies and the wreckage were examined.

The S-KPI soon found items of value. Parts of the technology in the craft had remained intact, and technicians seeking to reverse engineer the equipment were excited to find ideas and composites they had never even thought of before. Moreover, the wreckage alloy had been analysed and discovered to be an advanced formula for armour technology that was nearly five times stronger than anything built so far. Weaponry from the craft was discovered to be advanced laser-based guns and, whilst inoperable, provided the S-KPI with ideas for portable power sources - a problem that had long eluded military designers.

The S-KPI was officially upgraded to a full Kommissariat shortly after, and given a "black" budget taken from various other areas, along with secure headquarters in downtown Newchester, South Halifax. Kept completely secret from all but the highest echelons of military and civilian organisation, the KPA is tasked with the investigation, contact and defence against alien aggressors, as well as the reverse engineering of alien systems to advance the national interests of the USSC. To ensure that nobody becomes aware of the KPA's work, or indeed the presence of extra-terrestrial life, the technologies developed by the KPA are used soley to defend against alien attackers, and are not deployed as weapons or technology within the regular Cynapsian Red Army. The KPA maintains its own small force of armed personnel tasked with defence of the KPA Headquarters and small-scale skirmish activity with alien attackers, numbering less than one thousand individuals armed with Laser Rifle weaponry and other alien-influenced technology.

(OOC: This is kinda my 'Men in Black' agency, which I can use to RP to a small degree with FT partners in some circumstances. However, technology maintained by this organisation will not be used in my MT roleplays for the many obvious reasons involved.)

The KPA Alien Defence Corps (ADC)

Background

The Alien Defence Corps (ADC) of the KPA stand as the backbone of the Cynapsian response to extra-terrestrial activities and threats. Whilst Agents of the KPA act as the general investigative agents, the ADC was formed specifically as a military fighting force to defend Cynapsia against attack from extra-terrestrial sources. Standing at only fourty thousand men strong, with only ten thousand actual combat troops and less than two hundred vehicles, the ADC is a mere Division-sized defensive organisation equipped with scavenged and reverse-engineered alien technology. The ADC is tasked with the security of the KPA Headquarters, the securing of areas of extra-terrestrial activity on Earth (such as crash sites or individuals) and the general defence of the country.

Below contains a brief synopsis of the weapons and equipment used by the ADC:

Tritanium Armour

A Tritanium Armour Vest, as used by ADC forces.

Scavenged from the hull of the South Halifax Incident spacecraft, the material was chemically analysed and found to be possible to replicate. Tritanium body armour is standard issue for infantry soldiers of the ADC. Twenty-one times harder than diamond and approximately two-thirds of the weight, Tritanium armour is capable of standing up to repeated small arms fire for nearly ten times the amount of time as standard bullet proof armour. Tritanium armour is also mounted on the small amount of APC and Battle Tanks in service with the ADC. However, the incredibly high cost of producing this armour makes mass-production implausable, with each armoured vest costing nearly twenty thousand dollars to produce.

LR1 Laser Assault Rifle/LR2 Light Support Weapon

The LR1 was designed from small arms recovered from the crewmembers of the South Halifax incident spacecraft. These weapons were found to utilise a tiny nuclear power core as their source of eneregy. Studies of the miniturisation technique led to the creation of a "Magazine" that would be small enough for a Laser Rifle and provide the user with two hundred shots in total before being replaced. The LR1 features both single shot, semi and automatic fire features, and is able to produce a total of three hundred laser bolts, or "rounds", a minute. A variant of the LR1, named the LR2 Light Support Weapon, features a larger power pack and an increased rate of fire, with each pack giving three hundred shots at a firing rate of six hundred shots a minute, and is used in the light machine gun role.

The T-84TAD Battle Tank

Overall Design of the T-84TADL

The T-84TAD (Tank Model Eighty Four Tritanium Armour Deuterium Laser), or "Tadpole" as ADC tankers affectionally call it, is essentially a basic redesign of the T-84 Battle Tank of Russia. The main difference between the two models lies in the advances of scavenged alien technology. The Tadpole is mounted with 300mm of Tritanium armour, allowing the vehicle a large amount of protection against terrestrial weaponry. One test vehicle was estimated to take almost one hundred hits from an RPG-7 before being destroyed, although the Tadpole is designed to stand up to a handful of hits by alien weaponry. The Tadpole also uses a new model of 120mm Main Cannon designed to fire Depleted Deuterium Core ammunition (explained below) and is mounted with a variant of the LR2, named the LR2T Laser Assault Gun, as a secondary weapon capable of firing three hundred shots a minute with a twelve-hundred round Power Pack held within the hull.

Depleted Deuterium Shells (DDS)

4) Mass Reactive Detonating Cap 5) Diamantine Tip 6) Main Charge 7) Depleted Deuterium Core.

Depleted Deuterium Shells were developed from specifications found within the library computer of the South Halifax Incident spacecraft, detailing armoured vehicle weapon systems on their own homeworld. The Tadpole fires 120mm Depleted Deuterium Shells from its main gun. These shells, capable of piercing over a thousand milimetres of conventional armour, has been proven to penetrate up to 100mm of Tritanium Armour plating, and is the largest weapon in the ADC arsenal in the fight against extraterrestrial attackers.

BMP-1TAL

General Design of the BMP-1TAL

The BMP-1TAL, like the T-82TADL, is simply a redesign of a Russian vehicle, taking the BMP-1 and equipping the vehicle with 20mm of Titanium Armour. The BMP-1TAL, or "Onetail", is also mounted with a smaller version of the 120mm gun featured on the Tadpole, instead firing scaled down Depleted Deuterium Shells (DDS) from a 73mm Main Gun, and features the same LR2T weapon mounted on its Battle Tank sister. The Onetail also features a mounted Anti-Tank Missile Launcher mounted with a DDS warhead.

Updated Weapons Listing

tag for later post. Sounds very interesting, Cynapsia.

first interesting post from a new player I've seen in a while... Me likes. Perhaps you could turn it into an X-files sorta idea?

That's part of the idea. :) It's a kind of an X-Files/Men in Black hybrid, tasked with investigating paranormal activities, scavenging alien equipment, and maintaining a covert military force to defend against any alien hostility.

I'm attempting to start my first RP using this idea at http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=13029081#post13029081, with idea being a small-scale, mostly character-based story which can further develop some characters and the organisation itself.

Thanks for the interest. :)
