STAR-M6749 (Mausma)

"Mausma" "The Snake"

Mau isn't called "The Snake" because she's evil, no no no, very far from that, she's actually very sweet and does great at her job, no, she's called that because Strykers dumbass thought it was funny to do cosmetic surgery over night and get snake venom put in her fangs, She bit Stryker first.

Mau is sweet, gentle, kind, probably one of the few members of the group who wouldn't fumble the bag by being too much or too little either, if Raven is the voice of reason then Mau is kind of like the mom of the group, always here when her squad needs her and always willing to listen and support them, although she can be strict when she needs to be, and is terrifyingly accurate with a gun...

Mau is a nickname, some also call her Maus, either work, any other character should always refer to her as one of these

Mausma really likes old books, she'll read through them in her freetime and really enjoys talking about them, her favorite is "The Stranger" by Albert Camus

Mausma does deeply care for Stryker, but the girl also does get on her nerves a lot

Mausma is often very forgiving, but if anyone in her squad is hurt she wont be anymore

Mausma is often very blank faced and very blank when she talks, even if she is kind she doesnt really smile, just always the same resting face unless heavy emotions spring up like love or hate, otherwise she should always be blank

instead of red marks under her eyes like other star units, Mausma has Green ones

Mausma's battle mask is different from other Star's, it has fangs like a viper and sharp teeth on it

Sexuality: Bisexual

STAR (Sicherheitstechniker-Aufseher-Replika), (Security Technician Guard Replika 'Starling') or Star, are Generation 4 Low-Cost Combat Replikas. These units are Protektor Security Technician Guards.

The Standard model of the Protektor Security Technicians. Fitted with extended legs, STAR units gracefully tower over most Gestalts. Despite their heavy armor, they can move swiftly with their long stride. Their cool and detached demeanor allows them to analyze situations with objectivity and deploy force as required. Trained in close combat and riot control techniques, they operate best in small squads led by an officer STAR unit equipped with a ballistic shield.

Despite their normally laid-back demeanor, STARs have a strong internal hierarchy, which is important to take into consideration when promoting units to officers. Not promoting a respected unit or promoting a unit low in status can lead to friction within dorms. STARs will occasionally develop in-group rules involving physical punishments. It is recommended to allow some Officers to own military weapons as Fetish objects to stabilize their Persona.

A Replika is a biomechanical person reproduced from a selected Gestalt,[1][2] referred to as a Replika's template. They are created by copying the "neural pattern" of the template using Bioresonance in a manner where their memories are repressed but their skill set is left intact, to preserve their efficiency and predictability.

Gestalts chosen by AEON to serve as a neural pattern are permanently cryogenically preserved and erased from public memory to serve the Eusan Nation as an "incorruptible ideal".

Gestalt=human

The Eusan Nation is a major faction in the Signalis universe. It is ruled by a repressive totalitarian regime, known for its military history. Most of the game's cast are citizens of the Eusan Nation and all of the game's events take place within the confines of the Nation, which spans several planets in the solar system.

War against the Empire

Likely some time after the death of the Eusan Empire's leader and founder, the Grand Empress, the Great Revolutionary and the other founders of the Nation rose up in a civil war against the Empire. The Nation colonized Rotfront, Leng and Heimat, the latter becoming their capital. The Empire remained in control of Buyan, Kitezh and Vineta.

Battle for Vineta

There was a battle for Vineta, the homeworld of humanity.[1] In visions of LSTR-512's Gestalt life, a bright object can be seen falling from the sky onto the blue sea. Similar events are described in the And a star fell note:

"and a great burning star fell from the sky,

and a mountain fell into the sea and the water turned to blood, and the

moon and stars and sun turned dark"

The mountains falling into the sea would explain why Vineta is an ocean world. In addition, a photo featuring Alina Seo also shows the Moon has been cracked, likely heavily changing tidal patterns.

It seems the Nation came out victorious. Indeed, in an alley in Rotfront Sektor C, a newspaper can be found that describes an imperial blockade against Vineta, implying the Empire has lost control of it. However, this victory for the Nation may have come at great costs, seemingly including the destruction of the planet's moon.

The Nation, now in control of Vineta, is attempting to rebuild it. According to the above-mentioned newspaper article, diplomatic efforts with the Empire are under way but the Empire's fleet is destroying supply lines, causing the starvation of millions of Vinetans. It is not clear whether the newspaper can be trusted since the Nation practices extensive censorship and propaganda.

planets the nation has control over:

Heimat:

The current capital of the Eusan Nation is the small moon of Heimat. The moon is full of factories, and is home to a large, tall building, surrounded by red banners, along with a gleaming orange light. It's implied that this is a Capital Building of sorts for the country. Vineta:

Vineta is currently under the control of the Nation after a tense conflict with the Empire for the planet. The planet was entirely submerged underwater after an unknown event, that also presumably led to some sort of armistice between the Nation and the Empire. The Planet appears to be full of refugees, most of which are starving to death. Leng:

Possibly colonized prior to the existence of the Nation, Leng is a vast, remote planet, with a rich amount of mineral resources that the Nation mines for. The Nation holds a major facility here known as the S-23 Sierpinski. Rotfront:

A small moon consumed by ash, Rotfront is one of the Nation's most renowned colonies, and one of it's most recent as well. The Nation makes residents of this planet wear gas masks to protect from the ash and smog, which is likely a product of major factories across the planet. Residents of Rotfront are divided into districts known as blockwarts, and the Nation provides schooling on the colony as well.

Life in the Eusan Nation:

Replika supremacy:

The Eusan Nation is reliant on Replikas which it uses as workhorses (EULR, ARAR, MNHR units) and for Gestalt population control (STAR, STCR, KLBR, ADLR, FKLR units). The higher-ranking Replika models, namely KLBR, KNCR, ADLR and FKLR units, hold authority over other Replikas as well.

Although they are artificial tools, Replikas seem to stand on a higher rung of the societal ladder than the Gestalts they work with and oversee. Indeed, in the only inhabited locations we observe during the game, only Replikas are in positions of authority. In Sierpinski S-23, Replikas hold command, administration and law & rule enforcement posts. Meanwhile, Rotfront Sektor C's Blockwart ("block warden") is a Kolibri unit which receives information and advice from a Kranich unit and is itself under threat of decommission by a team of Protektor (FKLR, STAR, STCR) units[2]. Work, education and military service

Citizens of the Eusan Nation in Rotfront occupy normal jobs such as construction worker, Replika technician, store owner, mechanic[3] and more. Teenagers go to high schools such as Mandelbrot Polytechnische Oberschule and some go on to university[3]. Military service is compulsory.

As in the Sierpinski S-23 facility, cleaning, care and other menial tasks are taken care of by EULR units in Rotfront Sektor C and, presumably, throughout the Eusan Nation. STAR, STCR and KLBR units enforce the law and control the Gestalt population while taking orders from AEON. Re-education and forced labor

AEON manages Gestalt re-education and forced labor facilities, such as S-23 Sierpinski, where it sends dissenters[4]. There, Gestalts are under the authority of Replikas and live and work in uncomfortable and dehumanizing conditions. They are re-educated, taking for instance a "Political morals" class, and, in the particular case of S-23 Sierpinski, work in an ammunition factory and in underground mines.[4]

Their dormitories are cramped and their triple bunk beds resemble cages with their enclosing metallic grills. In contrast, Replika dormitories are more spacious and colorful and come equipped with the Replika model's preferred persona stabilization items and fetish objects, while the ADLR and FKLR units have their own office and personal living quarters.

When Gestalts dissent or commit a transgression, they are interrogated with torture instruments. If this doesn't kill them, after a confession they are punished by sentences of food deprivation, isolation (the locking of the Gestalt individual in a cage barely large enough to hold a human being) or increased work, often lasting several days.[5] Their belongings are also sometimes confiscated by STCR and STAR units.[4] S-23 Sierpinski has a Rationing Officer, STCR-2307, who presumably decides which Gestalts eat how much food.

Political ideology

The Eusan Nation is a totalitarian state in the style of communist regimes of the real-world 20th century. It practices extensive propaganda, censorship and repression. Repression of individuality and lack of personal freedoms

Citizens are used as resources and tools to be exploited and, sometimes, discarded in the pursuit of political objectives. Displays of individuality and interest in the arts are disapproved of.[6] In all inhabited locations visited in the game, posters and murals remind citizens of rules and various prohibited behaviors.[7] The Rule of Six, dictating that people carry at most 6 items on them at any time, exemplifies the extensiveness and pervasiveness of the control of the state over each individual's behavior. WARNING: The following may contain spoilers about SIGNALIS, read at your own risk. Propaganda

Propaganda posters are omnipresent. It is speculated that the Penrose program is more for propaganda than a real attempt at finding new worlds, resources or alien life outside the solar system, as evidenced by the concluding sentence in the transmission sent to the Penrose-512 ship after 3000 cycles on its mission:

"Remember, you will die having served your Nation by partaking in a glorious demonstration of our power."

Thought control and censorship

Some words, such as Umerziehung ("re-education"), are banned altogether because "language shapes the world; a perfect world requires a perfect language".[13] KLBR units can read minds thanks to their bioresonance and use that power in the search of spies as well as to monitor the thoughts and behaviors of fellow Replikas.[14] In addition, Gestalts chosen or forcibly used as a Replika template have their identities erased from public memory and records.[15]

The Eusan Nation is also well known for restricting access to or banning literature, such as The King in Yellow.

The Eusan Nation relies on mandatory military service to fuel its war against the Eusan Empire. It is suspected that it claimed the lives of Isa and Erika Itou since there is no other explanation for the presence of a shrine honoring their memories in their parents' bookstore. It is also well known that the Nation has designed replikas for combat, indicated by their use of the SAPR unit, a high functioning combat replika model.

Propaganda is also used with violent language to rouse spirits for war, as seen in the Nation's posters targeting the Eusan Empire.[10] Cult of personality

The Eusan Nation dedicates a cult of personality to its leaders, the Great Revolutionary and her daughter. Falke units, intended to act as godlike commanders of other Replikas, are designed to resemble the two leaders in terms of physical appearance.

The Eusan Nation utilizes forced labor camps scattered across Leng to imprison political dissidents, with S-23 Sierpinski being one of them. Here Gestalt prisoners are confined to cage beds and forced to work in either the mines or the factory, being surveilled at all times. Misconduct is punished harshly, ranging from doubled work shifts, to solitary confinement, and torture is commonplace if not protocol in places such as these. Its true nature is withheld from the public, as can be read from a pamphlet found in the lobby

Excluding the mining facility, there are a total of eight floors which are divided between: living quarters and accommodations for workers or various higher ranking personnel; the New Medical Ward; the Old Medical Ward; and notably only in the first floor, classrooms with dedicated rooms for observation.[4]
