Φ SETTING
     Taking place during 40XXX according to the standard grid calendar, the theme is one of interplanetary warfare, strife on a solar scale, and a war of resources, attrition, creeds, or simply for mindless blood lust, but a split galaxy nonetheless.

We translate the grid into planets and solar systems spread amongst our galaxy. We answer for modern factions by claiming they are the deluded, splintered remnants of their ancestors who made planet fall and lost or regressed their technology level.

Our enemies may arrive by portal technology, space ship, or by being guerrillas on the planet long before our arrival. Typically we explain their raids as simple, small scale attacks on our
Installations either to claim what we have, expand their borders, or probe our defenses. We may communicate, trade or operate with these factions by making planet fall at their homes, or in most cases, strike first, obtain any valuable resources, then break their planet if deemed a threat.

Φ BACKGROUND
     Order of The Inquisition operates as a near-cult war machine filled with old age brother-warriors, artisans, and philosophers. Traditional and humanist, but strong believers in adapting without compromising the human spirit, honor, and camaraderie regardless of the task at hand. What must be done will be done.

Acolytes of The Inquisition seek to bathe the galaxy in heretical and xeno blood. They are a legendary and ancient order veiled in secrecy, believed to pull the strings of many other factions to further their directives.

Φ THE STORY SO FAR

     The Order seeks to expand its influence, constructing new installations across the galaxy. Looking for new brothers and sisters to join the ranks of their elite in order to keep heretical and xeno threats at bay against all odds. Humanity must be protected at any cost. Even with our lives. Service to The Inquisition is the highest honor.

Φ THE OBJECTIVE
     The Order has always had mysterious directives that is kept from peering eyes, loyalists carrying out their instructions without question or waver, for this is the honor they have chosen.

A teaching culture exists within The Order, to educate its members with stories and experiences of the old times, and the cataclysms of the past, along with battle, political, and thinking knowledge to help them better serve it.

Unity is also of dire importance to The Order to ensure that all may integrate peacefully. Only those that are worthy may follow the path, and those that do not fall in line will be removed.
