The Interplanetary Strategic Alliance Of The Ustio System
History

New Awakenings - Astral Date 3505 -> Astral Date 3643

Between these years, the people of the planet Ustio began to branch out into the other parts of the system and began the terraforming of the planets Hydria, Corax and Antoben. They also set up several space stations. The Brotherhood was formed in AD 3600, around 100 Astral years after the formation of the first Federal Guard regiments.

The Years Of Uncertianty - Astral Date 4750 -> Astral Date 5000

Many years of more building and terraforming passed by. Kings came and went, and many advances in all areas of research. In AD 4957, the presence of the Tau was dicovered on Antoben's moon of Deno. In 5000, the year of the President, the Solar Eclipse seemed to awaken strange powers in many individuals, who became known to scientists as Evolved Humans. In the darkness of the Eclipse, a major schism occured in the ranks of the Brotherhood. Those who believed that the Brotherhood should be pure, not mingled in with Evolved Humans, broke away from the traditional Brotherhood, becoming The Descendants. The remaining Brotherhood members became known as The Regulars.

The War Of Reclamation - Astral Date 5234 -> Astral Date 5235

When the Tau invaded a good majority of Antoben, Federal Forces mobilised to drive them back. The Planetary Defence Forces of Antoben were caught unaware by the Tau's strike force. The 9th Antoben Guard set up a defence point at Stand Canyon on the Northern Continent, which became affectionately known as "Last Stand Canyon". When the Tau arrived at Stand Canyon, the battle between the two forces raged on for weeks. When the The Descendants finally broke through the Tau's fleet and launched their Drop Pods to rescue the beleugered Guardsmen, it was almost too late. Following the lead of The Descendants, The Regulars followed them down to the planet's surface, but a considerable number of Federal Forces had been lost, and the 9th Antoben Guard was gutted, with over 3/4 of their numbers lost.

Whilst most of the Brotherhood were deployed to Stand Canyon to beat back the Tau advance, a detachment of The Regulars was sent to the fortress of Kasala, which was occupied by Humans and Evolved Humans of the 13th Antoben Guard, and at the time was under siege from SkyRay Missile Gunships and Hammerhead Tanks.

The detachment that eventually broke the siege at Kasala went on to become the founding members of The Fallen. What actually happened at Kasala has been considered a matter of Intergalactic Security and is, as such, classified information.

The battle at Stand Canyon turned into a stalemate with the arrival of The Descendants, and eventually the President was forced to call a ceasefire between them, offering a truce with the Tau.

First Contact - Astral Date 5245

After ten years of keeping to the truce and remaining in the system, Ustio was visited by people from across the stars. They met on Yarrick Station, on the eastern fringe of the system, and it marked Ustio's welcoming to the Galactic Stage.

Geography

The Ustio System
Major Planets & Other Population Centers
- Ustio (Central Planet, Governmental Seat Of Power)
- Hydria (Secondary Planet, Numerous Military Academies & Installations)
- Corax (Forge World, Home To Millions Of Armament Factories)
- Antoben (Tirtairy Planet)
- Antagon Station (Mobile Fortress, Lying On The Outer Rim Of The System)

Major Planets & Other Population Centers - Breakdown
Ustio

A planet populated by Zealots and Priests mainly, the planets surface is littered with hundreds of churches, cathedrals and shrines to the Ustian gods. On the northern continent sits The Crucible, where the President resides. It has one Moon, Titan.

Hydria

Hydria is home to most of the ground forces of the ISA. The planet was once a lush paradise, but since those times the ozone layer has decayed in certain places, and parts of the surface a subject to bombardment by highly dangerous solar radiation. As such, inhabitants live in great tower cities, connected by suspended walkways with UV reflecting glass. These towers also have holo-projection units, projecting a much more beautiful landscape than the one that actually exists. Criminals and those serving corporal punishment are often sent out into the wasteland to perform their duties. One of the most feared is to be forced to run the Makka Run, a 25 mile run in full UV protection gear and with all your equipment, over some of the most harsh terrain known to man. The record completion time is 8 hours, 25 minutes.

Corax

A forge world, the air of Corax is thick with the smoke and fumes of the millions of factories churning out weapons, vehicles and armour on a daily basis. It has no moons.

Antoben

An icy cold planet, often frozen solid due to it's distance from a natural light source, Antoben is the furthest planet from the sun in the system. On the eastern fringe, it is far out of the way of most civillians and military vessels. Due to this, the Tau have made a base on the planets' Moon of Deno, and have also deployed military force to the planet's surface. The Federal Guard and the Tau now hold an uneasy alliance there. The infrastructure is a strange mix of both human and alien design. It has one moon, Deno

Antagon Station (http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Phalanx)

A huge mobile station, rivaling some of the system's moons in size, Anatagon Station is one of many mobile fortress monastaries deployed throughout the system. Each one is the home of a detachment of either The Regulars, Descendants or The Fallen. Antagon Station, the largest of them all, is home to The Fallen. With room for over 500,000 Brothers and over 20 cruisers, the station is well eqquiped to deal with most threats.

Population Breakdown In Ustio

Humans
Humans, in whatever walk of life, make up the majority of the population of the Ustio System. Humans have a highly developed brain, capable of abstract reasoning, language, introspection, problem solving and emotion. This mental capability, combined with an erect body carriage that frees the forelimbs (arms) for manipulating objects, has allowed humans to make far greater use of tools than any other species.

Evolved Humans
People who began their life as humans, the EH's have slowly evolved powers beyond the reach of other humans. Powers like rapid cellular regeneration, flight, precognition, telepathy & telekinesis. Many telepaths & pre-cogs serve in the navigation of ships into Warp Speed, as such travel can be dangerous and requires someone who can see into the future and forsee dangers. That said, they make up very little of the population of the system

Tau
The Tau are a young race of technologically oriented beings from the Eastern Fringe, currently residing on Deno and in parts of Antoben, in an uneasy truce with the Federal Guard PDF Regiment on the planet. Tau are humanoid in shape, with two arms, two cloven feet, and a single head. Their grey-blue skin is leathery and tough and exudes no moisture, owing to the generally dry conditions of their homeworld. Their faces are flat, wide around the eyes, and their olfactory organs are located inside their mouths. Their eyes can see into the infrared and ultraviolet. Tau eyesight is good, but they focus on distant objects slower than humans.


Ustio
99% Human Population
1% Evolved Human Population

Hydria
93% Human Population
7% Evolved Human Population

Corax
72% Human Population
28% Evolved Human Population

Antoben
40% Human Population
32% Evolved Human Population
28% Tau Population

Military Overview

In the Ustio System, the military is divided into two different denominations: Ground Forces and Naval & Interplanetary Forces.

Ground Forces
Also split into three catergories: The Brotherhood, Federal Guard & Federal Marines. The Brotherhood are the most elite warriors of the Federation. They often stage daring drop pod assaults from orbiting spacecraft. Federal Guard are the conventional soldiers of the Federation, opting to deploy by dropship and attack en masse. Federal Marines are the Special Forces branch of the Federal Guard.

Naval & Interplanetary Forces
Naval Forces are the fighter & bomber aircraft and crews of the Federal Forces. They serve their own purposes depending on the battlefield. Interplanetary Forces are the giant warships of the Federal Forces, each carrying the firepower to lay waste to planets.

The Brotherhood

The Brotherhood
Once a unified military organisation comprised of the most elite warriors in Ustio Space, by the end of the War Of Reclamation The Brotherhood had been split after several idealogical battles. The remnants of the original Brotherhood, The Regulars, promote equality for all of their soldiers, whether Human or Evolved Human. The Descendants, soldiers who have descended from the original founders and those who support their ideals, pride themselves on being pure, having not admitted Evolved Humans to their ranks. Finally, The Fallen are fiercely loyal to the Federation but are condemned to guard a terrible secret from the War Of Reclamation.

Federal Guard & Federal Marines

Notable Federal Guard Regiments

- 9th Antoben Guard: Fought at the Battle For Stand Canyon during The War Of Reclamation. Partially destroyed. Now a remnant army, reinforced by other regiments.

- Twilight Echo Dragoons (Formerly the 12th Hydrian Dragoons): The soldiers of the Twilight Echo Dragoons are not just trained for war: they are bred for it. Using special single-cell replication devices, new soldiers are grown rather than born or recruited. However, they are not clones. Even after an extensive battery of tests, clones proved to be inferior to non-clones due to their lack of individuallity and human instinct. The Twilight Echo Dragoons prefer to use mass stealth units, and utilize vehicles that make use of adaptive camoflage, allowing them to ambush enemy units.

- The Timekeepers: All information on this regiment is classified.
