• Personality: Celeste is a quiet person that bottles up her complaints and unleashes her frustrations in a physical way. She has a determined spirit and finds ways to reach her goals, even if they're unorthodox. On the outside, she can seem cold and disinterested, but she is mostly in her own thoughts. With friends and loved ones, she opens up, and is careful to ensure that each interaction is meaningful as she's abruptly lost many throughout her career. In the heat of battle, she'll drop all of her composure and become the vengeful Corsair she was meant to be.
• Speech patterns: When not under stress, she will take quietly and with pauses, for example: "I don't... think that's a good idea.", "Are you going to Vron-IV? ...that's really cool.", "You know... I... I can't wait to see Krall-I again." In the heat of battle, she will be boisterous and violent, for example: "GET SOME, YOU FEDERATE DOG.", "HE'S PINNED! FRAG HIM, NOW!", "GUT THESE FUCKERS, KILL THEM ALL!"
• Combat ability: Celeste is a natural Corsair, resourceful, unpredictable, and incredibly violent. She'll resort to laser sword, tooth, and nail if she has to. Though she favors firearms, she'll happily use whatever battlefield pickup she can find to put an end to her enemies. She relies on speed, surprise, and violence of action to seize control of the tempo.
• Backstory: Celeste was a former Federation Space Marine Raider that served a lengthy career, fighting on the fringes of the Federation's borders to secure the unity and peace of the Federated sectors. Every friend lost, every wound earned, and every night drowned in drink was a sacrifice she thought was worthy of the Federate cause. When Vron and her neighboring systems seceded, Celeste was conflicted. Union or homeland? She, along with other Raiders, made up their minds when the Federation chose to respond with violence, preparing to send them off to kill their kin. Now she's a Marine Corsair of the Free Stars of Vron, and she's got a bone to pick with the Federation. If they wanted more of her friends, her blood, and her sanity, they were going to have to come and take it.

Free Stars of Vron

Ten tightly connected star systems form the Free Stars of Vron. A technological powerhouse that is able to move faster than their adversaries through sheer efficiency. There is no difference between flesh and PCB, both are necessary to ensure their freedom. The capital system of the Free Stars is the Vron System, with Vron-IV being the capital planet. Mostly humans inhabit the Free Stars.

Free Stars of Vron Defense Force

Hundreds of millions of patriots have come to defend the stars and planets they hold dear. Every soldier of the FSVDF is enhanced with technology, either embedded within or walking among them. One Vronian can easily put down a dozen Hathans without breaking a sweat or burning a servo.

Free Stars of Vron Special Space Command, 1st Marine Corsairs

The 1st Marine Corsairs were formed by defected Federation Space Marine Raiders that decided to fight for homeland rather than union. They are veterans of several galactic conflicts and have been enhanced with the latest augments from Vron-IV, making them capable of crippling the mightiest of capital ships and impenetrable of starforts. They are dangerous, resilient, and have immense animosity for the Federation. Every Marine Corsair has a Laser Cutlass, a spinal augmentation, and an occipital data shunt.

Some FSV Technology

"CombatControl" AI-powered connected battlespace, developed by Eracorp

CombatControl provides real-time data and communications to FSVDF warfighters along with autonomous and predictive actions that improve lethality tenfold. Some features are: Precision blue force tracking, automated call-for-fire, predictive artillery, autonomous mission planning, and optimized logistics coordination. External systems may easily interface with CombatControl, offering flexibility to an evolving battlespace.

Cybernetic Augments by Vron Labs

Straight from Vron-IV, Vron Labs provides state of the art cybernetic augmentations to FSVDF warfighters. Getting augmentations is entirely optional, but encouraged.

• Spinal Augmentation: The foundation for all major augmentations. The spinal augment acts as a power line, data channel, hard point, and heat exchange. The user’s nervous system is overhauled, allowing for finer control of their body. All heat generated from augments are designed to be expelled through the user's breathing or sweating, but hot environments can make that difficult.
• Occipital Data Shunt: A device that is mounted onto the back of the user’s skull and partly implanted into the occipital lobe. When turned on, signals from the Shunt can overlay images onto the user’s vision, granting them a HUD. When integrated with CombatControl, the user is nearly clairvoyant, being guided by target and path markers. The Shunt produces a large amount of heat when under heavy load, which must be expelled, else the user will either experience searing pain or the device will throttle to "Degraded Performance" mode.

Laser Cutlass by ForgeWorx

ForgeWorx is a boutique weapons manufacturer that makes special equipment for military applications based in Vron-II. The Laser Cutlass was designed as a symbol for the 1st Marine Corsairs, but isn't all for show. The energy blade is able to cut through flesh and bone like a hot knife through butter, and the weight is negligible. It is the combined pride of the Corsairs, the Free Stars, and ForgeWorx.

Hath Federation

The Hath Federation is a collection of nearly a hundred star systems, and is at war with the Free Stars of Vron. The abrupt secession of the Free Stars from the Federation has left them technologically hamstringed. The Federation will need centuries to catch up, but making up for it are the billions of lives that serve in the Federation's military. They will need to fight through man and machine to bring those unruly Free Stars back into the Federation's hands. Humans and other alien races make up the Federation.

Ships

• Charlemagne-class capital ship: A massive, lumbering ship that is able to support devastating combat loads. It has two configurations, "naval" and "siege". The naval configuration is geared towards voidborne threats and allows the Charlemagne to rattle the largest of battleships. The siege configuration is geared towards planet-annihilating weaponry and housing troops and equipment, leaving the Charlemagne vulnerable to space threats. Three Charlemagnes are usually accompanied with a Naval Group of destroyers and cruisers.
