That is a lot better on the eyes, but it could still use some work here and there ;)

Information

---

Sirius Coalition Expeditionary Corps (SCEC) were established under Decree #825/2/11 of the Second Plenary Session of the High Commissariat for Science and Technological Advancement (HCSTA) on Frontier Expansion with a view to form a specialised force to collect scientific data deemed valuable and conduct in-field research.

The decision was made in light of the recent success of the Sirius Coalition Revolutionary Army in Cayman system and subsequently taking control of Planet Braillia. The harsh environment of planets Jiang-Xi and Volgograd as well as past raids into Omega-52 system that decimated the planetary population significantly hinder Coalition’s plans to solidify its position as an equal rival to the Houses with no prosperous surface colony to back on and to use as a beacon of hope for all left-wing factions across Sirius.

In view of this, Braillia is considered to be an invaluable asset to the People’s cause. Yet, the previous owners caused an ecological disaster by blowing a nuclear bomb with Cardamine in planet’s atmosphere, leading to radioactive contamination, making the place uninhabitable for almost 20 years.

Scientists on Mykolaiv Research Station, however, believe that the damage can be undone with the technologies available. Following severe debates within HCSTA and hearings in Duma, terraforming project was approved and given under the jurisdiction of HCSTA.

Labelled “Tselina”, the project stipulated rapid obtaining of scientific data from all across Sirius that might prove useful in terraforming. SCEC was established as the extension of HCSTA in the field to pursue that goal. SCEC was also entrusted with any other research-related activities and assistance in ongoing initiatives (e.g. "Renegade").

Since SCEC is not a fully military organisation and the personnel consists mostly of scientists, the operation principles are the following:

• to avoid hostilities outside of Sirius Coalition space;
  
• to favour persuasive methods over forceful ones;
  
• to propagate positive image of the People and Sirius Coalition as of a legitimate rival to bourgeoisie "Houses" not a band of terrorists or criminals;
  
• to avoid sharing strategic data of the Coalition;
  
• to refrain from enforcing Coalition People's Legislation - that is within the scope of SCRA responsibilities.
  

To further the goals of the Coalition, SCEC follows the principle “Science is the manifestation of People's will and therefore has no borders” and employs any methods that can yield results deemed valuable by the Coalition. These may include:

• surveillance and observation;
  
• experiments;
  
• taking hostages;
  
• bribery;
  
• hiring freelancers;
  
• forceful expropriation, etc.

Current Sectors of Interest

---

Planet Braillia (Cayman) – study of contaminants in the atmosphere and hydrosphere. Testing terraforming methods in orbit.

Planet Nurenberg (Munich) – study of local ecosystem, namely worms living in the soil. Possible application thereof as a bioweapon or to suppress aggressive ecosystems on other planets.

Planet Gaia (Edinburgh) – local flora and fauna. Species are to be taken to Braillia to test compatibility for further ecosystem integration.

Planet Lesbos (Omicron Omega) – climate and dust storms and ways to protect the atmosphere from being blown into space by storm winds.

Planet Pygar (Omicron Theta) – nomad infection and possible prevention thereof.

---

Ongoing Expeditions

---

CPRV-Kardashev – “Hurricane” class battlecruiser refitted to serve research purposes without losing the ability to fight back if need arise. Led by in-field Chief Research Officer Dr. Mstislav Belov.

Naming

---

SCEC|Name.Surname – snub

SCEC|CPRV-name – capitals (CPRV – Coalition People’s Research Vessel)

---

Ship Type

---

Any, although have to be justified lore-wise.

Caps are advised to carry Research Corps/Surveillance Module/Survey team and scientists in cargo to be lore-friendly.

Snubs can identify as a research vessel or as military escort.

---

Ranks

---

Not being a military organisation, ranks reflect responsibilities rather than hierarchy.
CRO – Chief Research Officer – formal administrative position responsible for contact with SCRA and HCSTA, and guiding joint expeditions if need arises.

Academic – an experienced scientist with expertise in multiple fields. Usually in charge of a scientific team

Doctor – a scientists with expertise in one field and solid theoretical background in other fields. Can work either alone or in a team.

Aspirant – a recent graduate of a university working on a project to obtain the status of a Doctor. Usually work under supervision of a more-experienced scientists.
Escort or SCRA appointees use respective SCRA military rank system.

---

Diplomacy

---

In general, the diplomacy pattern of the Coalition applies to SCEC.

• SCEC is in subordination to SCRA and to follow orders from SCRA personnel unless it threatens already obtained scientific data or valuable samples. All other allies of the Coalition are respectively allies of SCEC.
  

• Gaians and LWB are favoured to cooperate with due to the extensive experience in dealing with harsh environment.
  
• Crayter Republic is viewed as valuable ally in view of their experience in recent planetfall and rapid success in science. Same applies to Zoners.
  

• Most civilian organisations are neutral as of no interest, unless they possess valuable scientific data or equipment.
  
• The Order is treated with caution. It possessed invaluable research data and intelligence and can be cooperated with unless cooperation poses threat to the mission or is prohibited by general Coalition policy.
  
• The Council and Maquis can be situational associates if in Gallia space or there is the necessity.
  

• Although Coalition usually does not attack civilian vessels, the ships of Pnanetform Inc., Deep Space Engineering and ALG Waste Disposals depending on their cargo are viewed as primary targets in view of the technologies they might possess.
  

• The Houses and other enemies of the Coalition and SCRA

Even after this modification, there is room to improve, but it should give you a nice idea of what looks nice (at least imo)
