House of Anqual

The Founding House of the Aniran civilization consists of the three primary members, Kirin, Indicia, and Aniya who are also known as the Immortal Siblings. There are no other members of this family that are known to exist at this time. None of the three are believed to have fostered any offspring.

Pillars of Life

Omnium law and justice is built upon the mandates of the pillars. These codes set the foundations of the law of the land while granting all rights of power to the Omniarchs. Although they are sworn to uphold the tenets of the Pillars of Life, their governance can supersede these laws in times of crisis and through the trios unanimous consent.

This interstellar nation is populated by a branch of humanity called the Anirans. The government was designed along the tenants of the Pillars of Life, which are articles that dictate the governance and the rights of Omnium citizens. The Anqual family, who founded the Omnium still rule to this day. The three siblings rule as a staggered triumvirate, meaning that every ten years they shift their level of responsibilities. The person that sits in the First Chair serves as the primary ruler, with the Second Chair serving as back-up. The Third Chair is the usually non-active politically unless there is an emergency that requires all three chairs to attend to.

Unlike their Terran and Cetian cousins, the Anirans took to deep space with a vengeance. They quickly colonized dozens of worlds and established, not only the largest of humanities space-faring nations but an impressive military force to defend it.

Despite the Omnium seat at the Council of the Core, Omnium space is closed off to non-Omnium citizens. A regulated number of foreign diplomats and traders are allowed to conduct business at a location along the Aniran-Terran border called Staropia Alpha. Beyond that point, foreigners are few and far between.

There is no secret that the Omnium and Keo Terra Interstellar are close allies. Many fear this relationship because both nations have proved to be aggressive expansionist. However, the Omnium is one of the major contributors to the Mutual Defense Force and has assisted in deep space and colonial emergencies in times when no other government could do it. Distrust still runs deep with most of the Terran nations on Earth, but beyond those circles, the Omnium is looked upon as the best of all worlds.

Here are some of the military and intelligence organizations that operate within the Omnium

Omnium Deep Force

This military branch is not publically known outside of the Omnium. It is believed to be a deep space expeditionary force that works far outside the role of the defensive role of the Omnium Near Force.

Omnium Near Force

This Omnium military organization is tasked with providing planetary security. Their operations cover the planetside defenses as well as orbital defenses. It is composed of two tiers, the Planetary Defense Branch and the Orbital Defense Branch. Near Force is commanded by the High Marshall, normally the highest ranking member of the service. The backbone of Near Force is the Interface Operations Specialists.

Deep Space Special Operations (DSSO)

This Omnium profession is composed of elite troopers that are trained to operate in microgravity. They specialize in special operations that include boarding space stations and space vessels. These service members are employed by both the Omnium Near Force and Deep Force militaries.

Orbital Insertion Special Operatives (OISO)

This Omnium profession is composed of elite troopers that are trained to operate in a wide spectrum of environs ranging from micro to macro gravity.

InterplanetaryOperations Specialist (IPOS)

These service members are generally cross-trained to operate on planetside and aerospace environs. This includes ground forces, air forces, wet navy forces, and low orbit forces. The Omnium Near Force is the chief employer.

Interstellar Operations Specialist (ISOS)

These Omnium service members are trained to operate in deep space onboard interstellar space vessels. They are trained to live and operate at superluminal speeds.

Omnium Intelligence Services

This branch of service is the Omnium intelligence gathering organization that uses its Intel to direct the decisions of the Force Directorate. The agents and operatives that serve in this office are proven loyalist to the House Anqual.
