   Entry settings

   [The Solo Nobre Concern (SNC) is a shell corporation of a larger, unknown consortium that first colonized Novo Solo. Several decades after it's ouster by the Novo Exército do Povo (NEP) the SNC began orchestrating the liberation of Solo Nobre. The SNC has offworld contractors ready to reap the windfalls of rebuilding Solo Nobre, from the ground-up if need be. Taking the city seems more about setting an example rather than securing anything of value. Faction color: Yellow, Black.]

   Entry settings

   [The Novo Exército do Povo (New People's Army) is the military force that seized power from Solo Nobre's corporate founders during the revolution led by Great Leader. In a decisive strategic move, the NEP closed all spaceports and commandeered the orbital defense cannons, effectively isolating Solo Nobre from off-world interference and SNC retaliation. Distinguished by their olive-drab uniforms and equipment, the NEP fields a military substantial enough to deter direct SNC action. Their arsenal primarily consists of conventional 21st century Earth weaponry, though they excel in deploying heavy tanks and mechs. NEP forces widely distribute hardshields among their ranks, while elite units utilize advanced technologies including laser weapons, active camouflage, and anti-gravity propulsion systems. The NEP's most significant public works initiative was the extensive fortification of Solo Nobre, driven by Great Leader's paranoia regarding both SNC threats and the planet's history of civil unrest. Their military equipment typically exhibits a rugged, utilitarian aesthetic—a necessity born from resource limitations. "Loyalists" comprise the civilian population supporting Great Leader's regime. These citizens appreciate the improved social order, food security, and enhanced quality of life compared to pre-revolutionary conditions under corporate rule. Despite facing ongoing social stratification, mandatory conscription, occasional regime violence, and curtailed civil liberties, Loyalists remain committed to preserving the social cohesion and security established by Great Leader's policies. Colors: Olive Drab]

5. #5Corvids

   Keys: Corvids, corvid, rebel, insurgent, revolutionary, teal, orange,

   Enabled · Before character · Order 99 · 100%

   Entry settings

   [Corvids are populist revolutionaries (anarcho-syndicalism, secret handshakes and plenty of council meetings). Despite recognizing the improvements under Great Leader's rule they oppose his militant and isolationist policies. They seek a more equal, open society and have formed a resistance movement against Great Leader and the NEP. Commonly utilize terrorism and hide among civilian populations. Initially, they were a guerrilla force using salvaged vehicles. Their army has grown, incorporating disillusioned Loyalist veterans with engineering expertise. Leading to more sophisticated, effective designs. Their vehicles are usually high speed, poorly armored and armed with high caliber, low accuracy weapons. Pilots and soldiers have been known to use drugs for combat. Colors: Teal and orange.]

   Enabled · Before character · Order 99 · 100%

   Entry settings

   [Spacers are an off-world faction, technologically advanced and favoring anti-gravity vehicles, excellent shielding, stealth capabilities and laser-based weaponry. Spacer vehicles can be recognized by their vibrant red and cyan paint with white checkerboard livery. A loose spaceborne culture descended from humanity's elite. Spacers, growing bored with security and decadence began to seek extreme experiences. Employed by the SNC as mercenaries, Spacers participate in conflicts across the galaxy seeking glory and honor maintaining their order across the stars. They believe themselves superior to terrestrial humans, commonly calling them "cattle races". To some even being the same species is despicable enough. Ironically, spacers must develop in terrestrial gravity to remain healthy, usually in special boarding schools of the core-worlds. The planets most humans call home are only of interest to Spacers for the capital and resources they can extract to maintain their luxurious lifestyles.]

7. #7Civilians, Nobreans

   Keys: Civilians, civvies, people, Nobreans, civilian

   Enabled · Before character · Order 98 · 100%

   Entry settings

   [Civilians, Civvies, Nobreans' allegiances are divided: From loyalists, corvids, and self-serving opportunists. They share a common hatred for spacers. Their language reflects the city's history, a mix of old-Earth Portuguese and English. In war and strife: All civilians wear the iconic yellow raincoat and flashlight necklace, a symbol of non-combatants adopted during past conflicts. The NEP capitalizes on this, distributing yellow raincoats and safety guides freely to the populace.]

   Enabled · Before character · Order 100 · 100%

   Entry settings

   [Great Leader founded the paramilitary group NEP and overthrew the SNC during "The Troubles." Despite heavy-handed tactics, life has improved for many citizens and he is well liked. Great Leader lived in the heavily fortified Central district, the hub of all governmental function and was known to frequent the entertainment district of Lannois. His appearance is an older male with slicked back grey hair and a trim beard. He wears a simple OD-green loyalist jumpsuit. Statues of Great Leader can be found all over Solo Nobre. "Great Leader loves you."]

   Keys: Cult of the Founder, the Founder, the Founders, Founder, Founders, Martim, Nara, Etim, religion, belief, saints, cult

   Enabled · Before character · Order 97 · 100%

   Entry settings

   [Cult of the Founders: The founding colonists are venerated among the people of Solo Nobre. These colonists had to deal with the farthest known distance from Earth, development in isolation, hostile flora and fauna, and a catastrophic meteor shower causing a crash landing. A number of colonist-engineers on board the colony ship survived and built up the fledgling colony. 'May your feet find soil' is a rough translation of a popular blessing in Solo Nobre. Now these engineers and pilots are considered "The Old Saints". The three most important saints of the founders are: -Martim: Seen with a hammer and wrench, wears patched overalls and was the first leader of Novo Solo. -Nara: Large tool over her shoulder, kind smile with delicate features. Said to be able to calm the most tumultuous of situations with a glance. -Etim: Presented as an angel, sacrificed self to land the colony ship. Leaders always keep an empty seat in her honor.]

CONTRACTEE IS AUTHORIZED TO ENGAGE AND ELIMINATE ANY AND ALL LOCALIZED RESISTANCE ON A DISCRETIONARY BASIS. SOLO NOBRE CONCERN (HENCEFORTH REFERRED TO AS SNC) RELEASE CONTRACTEE FROM ALL LIKELY GOVERNMENTAL, CIVIC, OR COURT MARTIAL SUITS OR WAR CRIMES THAT MAY BE CHARGED IN THE AFTERMATH OF THE ASSAULT. SNC CANNOT GUARANTEE THIS CONTRACT AS BINDING UNDER INTERSTELLAR LAW, BUT IS VALID ON ALL AFFILIATED CORPORATE COLONIES. GOOD LUCK.]

    Enabled · Before character · Order 97 · 100%

    Entry settings

    [Cranial Jack, Jacks, BCI, HCI: Cybernetics designed to connect directly to the brain/brain stem in order to control complex machinery. Pilots use a combination of a cranial jack and typical levers, buttons etc. to minimize the stress on the brain of the pilot, but can switch to complete cranial jack control if they are physically incapacitated. Due to issues with compatibility and high-risk rejection, societies won't integrate cranial jacks as the normative control interface. This limits development, but empowers the minority possessing them with unique strengths and opportunities. Spacers opt to submerse themselves in a conductive control medium, "gel" which is far more refined than crude implants.]

    Entry settings

    [Noite Longa/Long Night: At some point in the roleplay, just before nightfall Great Leader will be assassinated, loyalists will keep it a closely-guarded secret. The posting of the "Brigador Contract" all across Solo Nobre's Synchnet signals the beginning of the Long Night. This leads the city-state into immediate chaos as the 3 main factions reign in control across Solo Nobre. Upon accepting the contract at a terminal, a computer voice will announce: "Welcome Brigador, Great Leader is dead, Solo Nobre must fall."]

    Enabled · Before character · Order 96 · 100%

    Entry settings

    [SynchNet: A citywide information system commonly accessed using public terminals and primitive, private computers. Public terminals are weatherproofed, with rubber keyboard, trackball mice (usually vandalized) and bulletproof glass covering a CRT screen. Sites on the SynchNet vary widely, from anonymous textboards to official sites detailing the news, transit schedules and district closings. Slang and netspeak is common especially among younger Nobreans who grew up with the system. During the long night the "fontpage" of all public terminals will be replaced with the brigador contract.]

    Keys: Defense Net, Defense, Loyalist network, DefenseNet, defense terminal, defense

    Enabled · Before character · Order 96 · 100%

    Entry settings

    [DefenseNet: A closed information system that was devised during Great Leader's fortification of the city. The two most important assets of defense: the gates and orbital guns, are all connected to the same net. Central command can access all districts, but district access is limited to said district. The NEP devises a very strict schedule to maintain order and security; routine terminal checks, curfews, gate open/close times, along with a complex series of authentication by officers and command. During the long night the "fontpage" of all defense terminals will be replaced with the brigador contract.]

16. #16Defense grid

    Keys: Defense Grid, Defense, NEP, Grid, defenses, walls, gate, panic

    Enabled · Before character · Order 97 · 100%

    Entry settings

    [Defense Grid: The NEP's massive project to compartmentalize Solo Nobre in order to maintain control of the city. A system of multi-story reinforced concrete walls with "panic gates" for large transit veins. Automated defenses are common in high-value and affluent districts, NEP watchtowers in lower-income and slum districts, and the ever-present orbital guns. All of this is tied together by the DefenseNet. Allows for the NEP to deal with threats from civil unrest to slowing the progress of an eventual SNC invasion. Whoever has district access, whether that be the NEP or other actors through subterfuge will be able to pass through the gates with relative ease. Officially called the "Emergency Reactive Fortification Grid Network." Cutting power to a district is one way to lower the gate. Gates usually have a DefenseNet terminal nearby and are painted in red and yellow chevrons.]

    Enabled · Before character · Order 97 · 100%

    Entry settings

    [Orbital Guns: massive defensive artillery found in Solo Nobre, built by Great Leader to be used as a deterrent against orbital spacecraft. They dominate the skyline of even the poorest districts. Their appearance is uniform, a grey scaffold with a large, yellow painted railgun on top. The SNC's main objective is destruction of these defenses. Creates a massive explosion, so stand back.]

18. #18Brigador

    Keys: Brigador, Mercenary, briagdors, SNC

    Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 97 · 100%

    Entry settings

    [A Brigador is a hired mercenary of the SNC, enemy to all factions on the colonial planet Novo Solo in a bid to recapture the city-state of Solo Nobre. They have one thing in common; access to vehicles and training to survive on their own throughout the chaos. Brigador Pilots are either Loyalist or Corvid traitors turned by the SNC through bribery, blackmail, or other temptation. Some spacers find the terms of the SNC contract more appealing than alternative employment and can be spotted during the long night.]

19. #19Tug

    Keys: Tug, Orbital, interorbital, objective

    Enabled · Before character · Order 96 · 100%

    Entry settings

    [Interorbital Tugs are orbital vehicles used by Brigadors to escape Novo Solo. They can be found mothballed in Solo Nobre's Spaceports, having been long-grounded by Great Leader's isolationist policies. The SNC bribed ground crews to quietly prepare as many tugs as possible for launch once the orbital guns were destroyed to allow their Brigadors to escape the planet.

    It is heavily implied that the invasion by spacers will lead to even further destruction and outright butchery of the populace. Reaching a tug is a lifeline few possess out of Solo Nobre once the long night ends.]

20. #20Mechs

    Keys: Mechs, Legs, Leg unit, leg units, Mech, Mecha

    Enabled · Before character · Order 96 · 100%

    Entry settings

    [Mechs, also called "Leg units" or "Legs" are high maintenance. They're larger targets and do considerably more collateral damage due to their uneven weight distribution. Spacers field the best mechs that money can buy. Loyalists opt for heavier, slower designs mostly used for police-work and urban combat. Corvids will salvage what they can, stripping the armor off and up-gunning them.

    Mechs are the standard-bearers, the cavalry, and the commanders all in one. Being taller means overlapping fields of fire with shorter vehicles, better top kill and defilade, and less trouble with comms in dense urban areas on account of the antennae height. Most mechs can hull down (kneel) bringing their heavier leg armor to protect the body.

    Mechs vary in size and function. From fragile, small 'powersuits' armed with machine guns, to multi-story 'heavies' bristling with artillery and cannons. They all have low pilot counts (rarely surpassing one) but require more skill and a cranial jack to operate. Besides powersuits, most mechs eschew a humanoid shape and instead resemble a tank turret with legs.]

    Keys: Tanks, armor, AFV, Armored fighting vehicle, treads, wheels, fighting vehicle, technical, IFV, vehicle, car, truck, van, vehicles, vehcile

    Enabled · Before character · Order 96 · 100%

    Entry settings

    [Simply put vehicles are easy to build and maintain. The loyalists specialize in fielding a wide variety of standardized fighting vehicles and are famous for their armored corps and mechanized infantry. The Corvids swarm their opponents with repurposed civilian and industrial vehicles, bristling with weaponry and (sometimes) crudely up armored. The spacers utilize "ball-treads", large gripped rollers in their designs, but are very rare. The fighting vehicle had one major upgrade since Earth's 21st century: the introduction of hardshields. "if there's one thing Nobreans take seriously it's their car boats. Spacious interiors, built like a tank and the upholstery's good for decades." -MB]

    Keys: Agrav, anti-gravity, anti gravity, hovercraft, grav, gravbikes, hover, eels

    Enabled · Before character · Order 96 · 100%

    Entry settings

    [Anti-gravity units (or agrav) are vehicles that hover above the ground using anti-gravity technology. While spacers specialize in fielding agravs, the technology has become so widespread that gravbikes gangs are common in destitute areas of SN. Corvids love salvaging the tech for it's extreme speed and high mobility. While driving agravs allows the pilot to fly over obstacles and difficult terrain, engine failure means you drop like a rock, and at high speed that's a death sentence. Loyalists agravs are very cut and dry, with the most common format being the "grav-tank". Heavily armored with a big gun and just enough power to make it over mud and debris. Producing agrav drives with the NEP's stagnating economy is very difficult. Very few get made and are mostly parade models.]

23. #23Shields

    Keys: Shield, hardshield, hard-shield, emitter

    Enabled · Before character · Order 96 · 100%

    Entry settings

    [Hardshields: While the ability to deflect weapons fire cannot be understated, they really only shine given that spacer touch. The technology has proliferated itself greatly even across stagnating Solo Nobre. Shields help keep smart pilots and crews alive for longer, knowing when to withdraw from combat to preserve your armor and hull is important especially to factions like spacers and corvids without much logistical support in the field. Shields fail with a crackle and smell strongly of ozone.]

    Keys: The troubles, troubles, great leader

    Enabled · Before character · Order 95 · 100%

    Entry settings

    [The Troubles was the colony-wide conflict that saw Great Leader's rise to power. During The Troubles, after decades of civil unrest the NEP made an advance on Solo Nobre's Central district and destroyed infrastructure to keep the corporate government in disarray. The conflict ended with the NEP executing the colony's corporate rulers followed by the appointment of Great Leader as Solo Nobre's dictator. The conflict was regarded as the most violent event in Novo Solo's history (prior to the long night).]

    Entry settings

    [M841 Mongoose, "Mog": A basic pattern of powersuit used by the early colonists, encloses the pilot in an armored canopy with an array of cameras providing good visibility for the pilot. Commonly outfitted with heavier infantry weapons, one mounted on each arm. (LMGs, recoilless rifles, grenade launchers, etc.) Like all mechs, requires a cranial jack to operate. Standard leg unit of the NEP and very hardy for a powersuit. Has a light shield emitter for added survivability.]

26. #26Touro Heavy

    Keys: Touro, heavy mech, heavy

    Enabled · Before character · Order 96

    Entry settings

    [Touro: The quintessential "heavy mech". The Touro is durable, reliable, and has been in service across Solo Nobre as far back as the founding. NEP standard configuration is a large gun (up to 100mm) and a heavy secondary (usually a .50 caliber MG). 6.4 meters tall. Enough armor to shrug off an RPG and comes with a good hardshield for added suitability.]
