D9| - Division 9

[Division 9]

History

789-800 A.S.

The Division 9 was created in 789 A.S to explore unknown systems for Humanity, particularly systems code-named “The Omicrons”. The secondary goal of the Division was to defend the Alaska system and the scientists which were researching Artifacts from the Omicrons and any non-LSF or Navy personal. The founder’s name of 9th is still unknown as they are using call signs only. In the early 790’s, the division explored a large amount of previously unknown systems, almost all of which were deserted, however this gave the 9th an idea. It was decided to build new home in the Omicrons, as the routes were known only to them and several other LSF Agents. Unfortuntately they didn't know how dangerous the Omicrons could be, or what was living there.

Division 9 wanted to make an expedition into the Omicrons in order to find a suitable place for their new base they were planning on constructing. They wanted to establish their installation in the Omicrons because the Omicrons gave Division 9 a foothold and a staging ground for their expeditions. Not only did they have a staging ground, but Agents would feel much more relaxed because they have their own base to operate from, rather than traveling to and from Liberty Systems and braving a dangerous route. But the Liberty Government had disliked their idea about the Installation for some time so they decided to abandon Division 9 and all government funding was cut. In 796, Division 9 prepared a few armoured transports with materials, construction platforms and departed from Liberty to Omicrons.

In one system that was deserted by all appearances, Division 9 found nice location for their installation; they planned to build it under an asteroid ring. However the area was dangerous dye to high levels of radiation all around the ring and an cold world was also close by.

Representatives from Division 9 attempted to travel down the planet to conduct a survey for resources and materials the construction of their new home-base. Often, they would reach the surface of the planet and find nothing at all. The planet was completely uninhabitable to human life and they were about to cancel all their operations until they stumbled across Iron and Titanium deposits which they used to produce the basic materials to build their new base. The Division spent two years in their attempt to finish the station, but when they did, they named it “Vancouver Research Complex”. It was also given the codename "Omicron X-10", after the systems that it was constructed in.

In the 800 A.S, The Liberty Government prepared its new project. Similar to “Vancouver”, Division 18 was moved to the system Omicron X-12, where they built a similar research complex named “Altair”. Any Civilian or low ranking personnel in the Navy had no idea of this base because it was classified. Only a few of the High ranking personnel in the Liberty Navy knew about the base. After they successful built the facility a small Nomad Patrol stumbled across the base and reported its location. The Nomads saw an opportunity to use both Division 18 and 9 by infecting them in order to infiltrate the Liberty Government, exactly as they did with some high-ranking officials within the Rheinland Government.

At this time, Nomads were only known by the Corsairs and the Outcasts, so both the divisions stood very little chance of fighting back the Nomad threat. Agents on-board both stations had very little time to prepare for a defense against the nomads due to the fact that little was known about who or what they were. Both Vancouver and Altair stations were attacked by the nomads who masterfully used the element of surprise to their advantage, the Nomads quickly overran both stations. Some of the researchers on board the stations caught on to what was happening, so they used several of the escape pods to evacuate the stations. Some of the lucky researchers that escaped quietly regrouped with Orillion and stole the new prototype battleship called the "Osiris” right out of it's shipyard. After recent events, they lately called themselves "The Order" and started acting against both Nomads and infected forces that they could find.

In Alaska, the Nomad-infested Chancellor of Rheinland sought to infect the Liberty President, Jacobi. They knew that the Order had taken the experimental Osiris Class Battleship and had moved to Alaska. Division 9 was then called to defend the Rheinland Chancellor against the Order's attack. First of all, they had to find a solution to stop the "Osiris" from getting through unnoticed. With their knowledge of the capacities of the technologies that went into the "Osiris", Division 9 quickly developed a satellite that could detect cloaked ships in a small radius. Unfortunately, the Order was tipped off by an unlawful organization, known as the Liberty Rogues. The Rogues gave the Order intelligence on the new satellite so the Order could act to counter it.

Both Freelancer Edison Trent and ex-LSF Commander Jun’ko Zane were sent out to engage and destroy the satellite. At their disposal they had a few ex-Navy servicemen and together they destroyed the satellite. Once the Satellite was destroyed, Trent, Juni and the rest of the force entered the Zone 21’s minefield, however they were met by Division 9's own forces. A battle broke out in Alaska where both sides were fighting to gain the upper hand within the Alaska system. After hours of fighting went by the Order finally managed to gain the upper hand in the fight and took control of the Alaska Gate, managing to bring in the "Osiris" to help rout out both Divisions as well as the Nomads. Division 9 was forced to pull out, but shortly they returned and tried to retake the Alaska gate, however to no avail. A majority of Division 9 was wiped out in the ensuing fight which allowed the Order to escape with the President without her being harmed. Division 9 had taken serious hits to their forces with most of their pilots were taken out during the battle. After the LNS-Omaha was destroyed and Osiris cloaked away with the president while the rest of Division 9 headed back to Alaska after chasing down the Osiris.

Witness of the Zone 21’s battle said that Division 9 was equipped with specific, inhuman weapons. However the Liberty Government closed their eyes to this and reported that it was nothing more than rumours. This is when the Government of Liberty finally decided to disband Division 9 and Vancouver was abandoned.

801 A.S.

Division 9 survivors who survived the battle at Zone 21 were quietly merged into ether the Liberty Security Force or the Navy. All of whom continued to remain undercover with all traces and names were destroyed. Only few politicians and high ranking Navy Personnel knew about ex-members of the Division Nine. All information about Vancouver and Altair was lost and old members of the Division returned to Omicron X-10, only to find that some parts of Vancouver flying around the asteroid ring, All information about Altair and Division 18 was presumed lost, however Division 9 knew about them and they knew that Division 18 was still around.

820-821 A.S.

For 20 years the former members of Division 9 with the addition of several infected Order personnel worked undercover with the Division 18. Recently the Order moved their operations close to Liberty, this threatened both Division 9 and 18, as they want to preserve their anonymity. Over time the Rheinland front became quiet and war was looking likely between Liberty and Kusari. The ex-member of Division 9 known as “Red Rose” took the leadership of both the infected Order agents and the Division's survivors. Together they restored Division 9 and with their resurrection they planned to provoke the war between the Houses of Liberty and Kusari.

822 A.S.

The Liberty Government was unaware that Division 9 and several politicians were infected. These individuals sponsored Division 9 and aided them with Government Funding and backing. Division 9 personnel have been spread out around the Liberty core and border systems. It has been reported that Division 9 Personnel have been seen traveling around in the Kusari and Liberty Border Systems, endangering Civilian lives in order to make a profit for themselves. Often these agents would pirate traders and bring back the materials they have taken off them back to their hideouts, so they can prepare for projects that they are working on away from the eyes of the Liberty Government. Not many people know what has really happened to Division 9, however those who do know are attempting their best to get them eradicated. They still believe that the Division is under Nomad Control and that they have proof to get rid of them, proof which was forwarded to the Liberty government. However no matter what proof was brought forth Politicians that have been infected previously intercepted the materials and files passed along which caused the charges to quickly be dismissed.

Once The Liberty Security Force have spotted the Division's often unsanctioned intrusion to the Kusari systems and sent the wing to intercept 9th’s agents. LSF Agents have quickly overtook the 9ths just when they were about to set a trap in the middle of the tradelane path. Such actions surprised the LSF Agents, and during scans, they found unprotocoled overall Nomad technology usage. The suspicions were too high, and LSF officers decided to arrest the 9th’s agents for more detailed investigation, but the 9th resisted and the combat between wings was inevitable.

The LSF managed to take over the rest of the 9th's Agent and investigation proved the Nomad presence and authorized protocols to revoke all information data access for every known Division’s agents and associates. Thus facts alongs with official investigation documents were transferred to other enforcement organizations, especially Liberty Navy and Liberty Police.

The Division 9 was announced as a potential threat of state level but officially the D9 Data protocols were marked as classified and politically the information of possible Liberty infected have been maximally hidden from the media and citizens to prevent panic.
Political position of Law forces was a favor for the Division, as a result, in the first months around Liberty borders many transports of different organizations trading with Liberty were missed or destroyed. To prevent the rumors of Liberty Border patrols’ lawlessness, the LSF and Government was forced to declassify the information about Liberty infected group.

Once Liberty officially announced the infectees of the 9th Division as K.O.S. (Kill on sight), all organisations including Law and Unlaw forces along with different groups like Bounty Hunters, Freelancers and mercenaries have caused problems to the agents of Division all around Liberty house and borders. The Infecteds answered by causing major terror actions all around the New York system by a collaborative infested group including different Houses and organization affiliations.

823 - 827 A.S.

After being uncovered by the Laws, the Division 9 have changed its manner from sneaky way of getting influence for Liberty Governmental persons by leaving this role for Division 18 and have been operating as hand executing elimination and cleaning jobs and distracting attention from 18th. During those years, along with open hunting and combats, the Division agents have sprouted into different organizations and established their agents within the whole of Liberty including revolution movement, logistics and even unlawful. The infiltrators’ tasks are only for observing the information for Division 9, 18 and Nomads at all.

Present Days

At the beginning of 828 A.C, The Division infecteds were oftenly crossing with the Vagrants and their newly-established infectees, classified as Faes. Those encounters have caused the appearance of feeling the “mother connection”, since most of the Division infectees were originally made of the current Vagrants and were fighting during the Great Nomad war.

Inspired by the imaging “family” mergement one by one, infectees were turning to the one of Dreamers, who finally have enlightened part of the Division. The majority who have accepted changing and enhancing their connection to the Vagrants along with Division 9 coordinator - Red Rose, have regrouped with Faes to reinforce the influence under Bretonia, Liberty and borders between.

The Order

During the Nomad War many Order agents became infected and tried to destroy The Order from the within. It was essential that the Nomads found other ways to hit the Order, hard, because the Nomads were facing a strong and powerful enemy who had a lot of assets and whom knew the Nomads quite well. If the Nomads could hinder the Order, then the Nomads could gain the advantage and possibly win the war.

After the Nomad War, Infected Order forces tried to keep a low profile because the Order knew exactly who they were. With all the intelligence the Order managed to gain they started to track down and eradicate the remaining infected Order agents. When the Order started their work, they struck hard, giving no mercy towards the infected forces, no matter how much they begged. Over a short period of time, they quickly hunted down the Agents until they were all almost terminated. Over the next few weeks the Omicrons became packed with the hunting Order agents. This made it extremely hard for the Infected personnel of the Order to escape the Omicrons. After desperate attempts at trying to leave the Omicrons, somehow they managed to escape back to Alaska. Once the Order Agents arrived in Alaska, Division 9 personnel helped them to hide because that they are infected units of The Order. With time the Order agents were slowly merged into Division 9, sharing Intel and trying to gain the upper hand. The Order Agents were a huge asset to the Division. They shared Intel on the Orders Tactics, ships and future plans. This helped to boost the strength of Division 9. The Order Agents retained their old ships but now, with thanks to the LSF agents in Division 9, they were now upgraded with the latest Nomad-Human Hybrid technology. With these recent upgrades they were sent back out into the Omicrons, flying covertly and gathering more information on the Order.
