The Consensus - >Z|

[The Consensus]

The Consensus is a social network, holding and investment group consisting Zoners of different origin and affiliation, collaborating with the mutual interest of the reinnovation of the whole Zoner community and the final goal of the formation of a House in respect of the original Zoner ideals. Already containing a few companies and organizations, the Consensus constantly gains influence within the Zoner community with multiple projects, groups and organizations all around Sirius.

The idea of the Consensus has started in the year 823 A.S. at Freeport 11. The station was in a constant threat by locals and each day another party appeared with the motivation of destroying it or taking contol of it.
It was a day the Core was this daily candidate threatening the Freeport, Alessa Samson and Dankien Moebus met each other. With the whole struggle ongoing in Omicron Delta any vessel couldn't leave the Freeport which forced both resting some days in the entertainment areas. The two person, who later will become the founders of the Consensus used to spend their time at the bar of the station and doing some more or less conversations with several people.
Both were speaking with different persons and accidently heard each others opinions on the current state of the Zoner community. What was to follow was a long time conversation with the exchange of each opinions, ideas and imaginations. In a conversation that had taken days, they talked about the Zoner history, their situation, humanity overall, the future, their own situations, basically everything. At the end of the 4th day, they shook hands and had an agreement and the very first consens. This agreement was about the foundation of the Consensus.
The first time was spend into finalizing the concept and also redirecting all finances. Both participants were already descent influencal Zoners, with Alessa being a staff researcher in the Ingenuus Research Group and having family relation of one of the first Zoner dynasties leaving the house space and Dankien, who was a head in the Omicron Trading Consortium.
A concept for improving and resocialising the Zoner community was worked out that is based on the combination of research, finances, education and human care. The teams from Dankien and Alessa were very ambitious about the concept and it was rather quick the Seraphim and the Outer Rim University, which is called Edgeworld University nowadays, were created as the first steps. As these, aswell as the Consensus required a base of operation they looked for a descent place to locate their organisations. After contacting the Ingenuus Researcher Group the Consensus was allowed to occupy the south wing of the Corinth Research Station which still is their major headquarter to the day.
With months passbying the Consensus grew in participants and a new projects were started. The latest one is the Sol Project, which is of a strong educational and scientific nature. Nowadays the Zoner Consensus gathers new influencial participants and uses to gain more owning shares in several appropriated organisations and maintains the construction of the massive space station the Consensus Multiplex which suits as the logistical for all organisations of the Consensus.

Prof. Dr. Alessa Freya Samson

Prof. Dr. Alessa Freya Samson: A former professor at the Manhattan University leaving New York in order to search for her missing husband and adopting command of her familys vessel the Antarctica. She finished the University with an expertise in neural diagnostics, computer sciences and acoustics. Alessa is one of the first insiders leading into the foundation of the Consensus. She has a very developed view and looking ahead for herself, her family, her team and the future of her species. She has advanced working experience in factions like the Canaan Project and the Ingenuus Resesearch Group, who are rumored to be the some of the highest educated and advanced research groups in Sirius.

Dr. John Henry Holliday

Dr. John Henry "Doc" Holliday: His origins into Sirius are known only to an unknown few, Dr. John Henry "Doc" Holliday roamed Sirius as a lost soul before being shown the ways of Eris by the late Malaclypse. It was as the administrator of the Temporary Autonomous Zoners that he would rise to prominence. It was at this time that he created Med Force Enterprises, an entity that is dedicated to providing medical care and research as well as scientific research to benefit all. For all of his goodness, he is still troubles with his past. He remembers a lifetime past, the people, events and places, he has no clue of his whereabouts between then and now. Having walked both sides of the law, he lives the Zoner way, keeping to himself and treating all regardless of affiliation. He now spend most of his time working with surgical teams, lecturing at Cambridge Medical Center and trading to fund his enterprise.

Hans-Karl von Goeben

Hans-Karl von Goeben: Until recently, Hans had been a freelancing scientist and independent gentleman for years. He worked as a specialist for cybernetics and augmentations in the ranks of IRG. Born on planet Stuttgart, Rheinland, in 792 A.S., he early discovered an intense interest in life and biology which years later earned him a good reputation. The laid-back, friendly researcher was expelled from his first university for critisism on the Kanzler's politic, which marked the start for Goeben's odysee. After finishing his studies at Heisenberg Station and Cambridge, he has ever since been roaming around Sirius. Over the years, the young scientist took part in various independent projects and expeditions in all Houses and beyond.

Angela Corino

Angela Corino: Not much known about this participant of the Consensus, she stays hidden and entirely focusses on the Sol Project. The anonymous investor is said to be a wealthy outcast, possibly a member of the so-called old families tracking ancestry line all the way back to Hispania. Seemingly well-connected, but likely retired from public appearances and politics alike this member prodives much-needed funding and resources to Sol Project where legal methods make everything too complicated or simply impossible.

Dankien Moebus

Dankien Moebus: Born in Liberty, he was an industrial engineer before he left Liberty to reach the edge worlds. In Freeport 9 he met and then joined the Zoner Trading Consortium. After some time he became one of the leaders of this Zoner faction. Among various activities he was responsible of the supplies of the ZTC stations, in charge of establishing contracts related to trade (new trade alliances and requests to relevant authorities for trading special goods), involved in diplomacy and in some research activities in the field of biology. After the ZTC/Omicroners disbanded he spent most of his time deep space conducting research projects on gravitational anomalies and unstable jumpholes.

Prof. Nerva Regis

Prof. Nerva Regis: A scientist and philanthropist, Prof. Nerva is always on the lookout for new and exciting science projects. Although he managed to collect several specializations during his life, he mostly focuses on Artificial Intelligence research and Bio-engineering. If he is not on one of his custom Corvos zooming around Sirius to help people that need his assistance, he can be found aboard his fortress "Unity". From all his lifetime projects, Prof.Nerva is particularly proud of his Omicron Orphan Initiative; which seeks to improve the life or orphans from all over Sirius.

Dr. Katherine Berg

Dr. Katherine Berg: Doctor Berg was born and raised on planet New Berlin in the family of scientists. Due to the incoming Nomad War her family moved to the Kingdom of Bretonia to secure their safety. Her parents, like herself, were desperate scientists who devoted all their time to science. In such an environment, the doctor also grew up. From the very childhood, she was brought love and interest in science. She had no great difficulty entering Cambridge University, which she graduated six years later. After receiving a master's degree in organic chemistry and technology of metals and alloys, she worked for some time in the Planetform, however, lack of prospects and too rampant ambitions forced her to leave the company and go in search of her luck and happiness, which resulted into the foundation of the Keepstar Research Group.

Tara Williams

Tara Williams: Tara was born in April 796 into a family of Zoners in the Baffin system. Her parents were tech workers on Shasta at that time. She grew at the station and went to local school. There she first met Alex Mush. When Tara was 12, Alex worked as a head doctor in one of the station's med blocks, and also taught biology in the local school. He somehow noticed her, and when Tara graduated Shasta's school, recommended her to one of the colleges on Cambridge. She completed course of astrophysics and also finished civilian navigation courses. Tara and Alex stayed in touch and he helped her through couple of personal crises. By the time Tara returned to Shasta, her parents retired and she started working as a second pilot on a freighter, then as a navigator on a transport traveling between Baffin and Omicron Kappa. About a year ago she met Mr Mush again, and he proposed her a place of first mate on Lemuria and his other ships. Over the time she repeatedly took the command, when pressing matters called him to some other place. He also introduced her to ideals and goals of the Seraphim and Tara embraces these with all her heart.

Mr. Universe

Mr. Universe: Little is known about this man but his enemies are always on the look to piece together his past. Many believe that his title and the man behind it have not always been the same person, no one knows for certain. We do know however, that this image was the first user to claim the title. He was never known to be a violent man or deal in weapons or war. No, his weapon was information, a much more deadly tool. In his office hangs a picture frame with the saying:
"Keep your friends rich and your enemies rich, and wait to find out which is which."

The idea of Mr.Universe has always been one goal. to keep the stability of Sirius by keeping the appropriate powers informed of threats to their territory. In simple terms, keep peace. Ironically this has made him flip flop many times with all parties he interacts with going from friend to enemy and friend again. One thing seems to be clear each time. His information is never wrong. There is one enemy group that he has always been hostile towards however, the nomads. In fact, this is the main goal that the title of Mr.Universe was established, to ensure a nomad influence free sector. Besides, whats the profit in them controlling everything, there would be no free will anymore.

Although Mr.Universe is not aggressive in nature he is known to contact guns for hire to help him attain his goals by any means necessary. For this reason he is liked by most Bounty hunters and other similar groups alike for he will pay handsomely for each contract.

One may ask how he is able to provide so much information if he is just one man. Answer, a large organization more than himself. His eyes and ears are everyone that wish to be on his good side. This has at times burnt bridges, but in the end it is an extremely lucrative business to provide information to him, because when it's true you've earned a friend for life. Until you double cross him of course. At which point you will be running for the rest of your life or until you make it right again.

This does not make him invincible however. The larger houses within the sector do have larger military forces than he could ever muster it is true. On the other hand, what better way to arm yourself than with enough information that could help you outsmart or outmaneuver your opponent.

Mr.Universe is a more recent element, within the last 5 years. It is said he found he could no longer take a passive role within the sector because of the increasing instability that was befalling all 7 houses within Sirius. His comm system is always open so that he never misses any juicy information that he could use to bend others to his will.

In a recent communication he made to a local trader, he explained that we should expect more of him and his informative information in the future... at a price.

The Consensus doesn't have a diplomacy in terms of the Discovery standards, but rather has a short-description of the relation towards each faction. Only factions that are in common enemies or allies within the whole Consensus are highlighted and categorized into a matching category.

Omicron Supply Industries

Omicron Supply Industries are a very influential and rich Zoner organisation located in Omega-49. They are the main partner when it comes to transportation of supplies and goods.

Confederation of Freeports

The Confederation of Freeports is a Zoner collaboration with the purpose of improving the administration of Zoner assets. Their structure, approach and actions have governmental patterns and the Confederation is often involved (sometimes by force) into local politics with results which by times affect the Zoner community as a whole.

Everyone Else

Every faction that has not be defined, yet.

Corsairs

Over the years the Corsairs and Zoner have had a positive and cooperative relation. Usually the Consensus gladly helps the Corsairs in their need for food and humanitarian aid.

Outcasts

The Outcasts are a special case human society. Genetically altered by years of Cardamine influence, they are a society that the Consensus sees in need for humanitarian aid, but also being subject for genetic research.

The Order

The Order is used to be a long-time ally of the Zoners, but latest event resulted into some deterioration of the relation. As Core and Order are strong enemies both are currently trying to use Zoner as a tool for their interests.

Sirius Coalition Expeditionary Corps

Not much is known about the Sirius Coalition Expeditionary Corps. However they appear as an ally of the Order. Their political form of communism is propably of historical interest that may result into a contact of the Edgeworld University.

The Core

The Core is an aggressive imperialistic military group located in the Omicron. Their attitude and approach are beyond any caring mind. However as same aggressive they are as same instable they are. Any encounter with them could be different and dangerous.

Nomads

The Nomads are usually are misunderstood alien species that feels invaded by humanity. This results into often aggressive contacts by them. The Consensus strongly avoids being a part of this conflict and searches to find ways for a peaceful coexistence.

Hostile

None
