Betel meet the Remusians[edit source]

The central hub of the area of Betel space that foreign nations would care about is Ikzod, a arid world dotted with oases. Ikzod shares the system with Old Step, a Junk World that had been the main dumping grounds of the Kusheen Empire. Because of their closest worlds being so muddled with the Kusheen, the Remusians did not know of the presence of the Betel so close to them until the Kusheens had been vanquished. Some Betel may have been encountered scavenging the wreckage of the battles.

Ikzod is an ideal world for foreign diplomacy thanks to its suitability for both Betel and non-Betel races. The colony is not terribly extensive but the open spaces, dry climate, and proximity to Old Step made it useful as a spaceport shipping destination. It is ruled by a theoretically meritocratic assembly with no official planetary leader like most Betel worlds. The planetary representative in the Recycler government is Ketol Lorknovin. He holds no real power, per se, but Helm's Hold would likely leave him to represent them locally before the area became more important.

Former High Chancellor Nol Byervid (still alive) would have spent time learning of how the Remusians reformed their navy. Any interaction he had with the Remusians would have been seen as a far-off visitor, and not a neighbour, by the Remusians. He may have gotten info from Kusheen. His yes-man, Golik Maelotumn, remains in Helm's Hold and would be familiar with the Remusians.

Sometime after the two races meet and the Betel have been at war for a some time, Sekno Vorniket, charismatic Ace Pilot of the Xeverra front turned Helm's Hold politician, would have toured the area. His focus would be rallying support, contributions, and greater ties with the Recycler government to get help fighting off the Repzork and Xeverra. Very passionate and idealistic, but also a jingoist. The Remusians may have met with him at some point.

Outside of Ikzod, most Betel you would have found would be pretty "redneck" as far as Betel go. There are other more developed hubs, but this area has never been affluent until the war increased demand.

"Science Face" Collaboration[edit source]

(Ideas below are tentative and subject to change)

At some point in the Betel and Remusian (They remain neutral at this point) partnership, they strike a research agreement between the Betel's Golden Face and the Republic's Science Directive. Both parties found their tendency to work on and develop rather experimental and unorthodox technology, which was difficult to test and gather data on by standard means. To remedy this, a mercenary group composed of Remusian and Betel Technicians and soldiers, called [REDACTED], but known internally between the two empires as the Science-Face Initiative, was formed. While very unethical, both parties acknowledge to keep this group under wraps and deny any involvement in it.

The group functioned both as mercenary contractors as well as a means for Golden Face and the Directive to observe the applications of their more secretive or experimental technology without the repercussions, and also a method of being funded to do this more precarious work. Aside from small, local contracts, the group's most notable contract was out to the Asanian Syndicate (unconfirmed), a contact of the Betel, to harass/attack a colony belonging to the Sauran Solidarity (Unconfirmed). The Directive's CPAI division took this opportunity to observe the advanced use of A.I. and drone warfare made use of by the Sauran.

While later on when the Remusians are inducted into the Peacekeepers, the Betel and Republic face tensions with the Sauran (Unconfirmed) from the prior use of the mercenary groups, both empires fall back on various other groups such as the DeComp rebels and the Lithraga Mercenary group as potential instigators for these attacks, potentially saving them much political turmoil.

  • While not fully elaborated on, it was spoken once of collaborating not only between the Directive and Golden Face, but also with the Lumis as well since the Betel already have ties there.

Induction into the Great War[edit source]

(merely spit balling ideas, nothing more)

  • Thanks to the Science-face Initiative, Remusians have been aiding the Betel on their various fronts indirectly by supplying them with tech (Mostly mechs) and resources. Betel and Remusian have become culturally familiar with each other though their agreements and helping each other(Remusian Supply Betel, Betel assist in recovery after Initial Collection encounters). When presented with the opportunity to engage their allies foes, they gladly oblige.
  • Repzork & Remusian encounter each other on several occasions via Hyperlane. Unsure if they would open fire or hail each other, or if communique would even work in a hyperlane

Collection-Synthetic Replicant Crisis[edit source]

Basically the Collection pulls an institute and start and infiltration campaign to dismantle the Republic and its allies. the Collection is successful in some capacity and compromises some key roles in the Remusian government and Directive. The Collection would replace these members with agents of their own, sometimes the agents not even knowing they are replicants. Some would assume the roles they were assigned but actively remain agents of the Collection.

Additionally, there are plans to reintroduce Vithem as a Replicant(Vithem-R). The Collection would basically "lure" the Grand army to a location where they are holding Vithem-R and other replicants designed after the original Royal Platoon. After feigning resistance, the Collection would retreat and allow the Grand Army to move in. Once recovered, Vithem would assume his regular duties as a general, unbeknownst he is a replicant. Further engagements with the Collection puts the Republic at a disadvantage, as thanks to the Replicants, they are able to somewhat predict what their next move will be.

This could also be extended to The Betel, Kusheens, and even the Repzork if the plot was designed correctly. Could serve as a way to pit the Remusians against the Repzork and assert their original PK position by framing the Repzork using Replicants. Id reckon they'd do this by replacing a diplomat or someone that could destabilize the tech keeping The Rift Together, while a particularly important fleet is in there.

One way the Replicants could be found out, is through a Collection Rehab Platoon skirmish with the Collection. Using the QED to destabalize Collection members also inadvertently disables some Replicants in the Platoon, who are detained and brought in for questioning. Tech to detect these replicants could follow suit. ANy other replicants who were found out were detained in the Remusian Penal Colony Benu.

Smaller ideas[edit source]

  • Mausoleum of the Fallen- Archivist location that projects essentially living holograms of the republic's past scholars who have provided thier neural network for scans. Those holograms are typically activated after the death of the donor, and can be accessed by Directive members for knowledge. Although, some restrictions are placed upon what these holograms can say to prevent certain information from circulating to people with the unnecessary clearance
  • Kusheen History
  • The Contingency: A group of rouge Collection synthetics who seek to free those imprisoned by the Collection. Work on and Off with the Republic.
  • Elaborate on Hyperlane destabilization and stabilization.
  • Hard Light/Nano Light: Significantly more difficult to create, stabilize and maintain compared to any other Remusian Project. Using experimental cores derived from hard light weapons discovered by Vithem on Aethena. By attaching the core to a battlesuit and the NLN, the User is capable of essentially, fabricating Hard light. This is achieved by channeling the energy from the suits core into nanites. This is an extraordinarily difficult undertaking coming with great physical, mental and energy costs, with only a small handful of successful tests, but no official uses. A small number of natural users have been identified thus far. Several tests have resulted in the death of the users. The tech has yet to see a portable application as of yet.

The capabilities of this technology varies, but tests have shown some users able to generate small, throwable objects, small arms in some extremely rare circumstances. These arms do not sustain energy when they reach a certain distance away from the user, making it more ideal for an emergency close range application. Working model to be decided, if this idea is even approved on our tech scale.
