Living Under the Banner of Unity
In the depths of the Omegas, where lawlessness once reigned supreme, a new order thrives. The Sirius Coalition, born out of necessity and forged by those who refused to bow to tyranny or chaos, now governs its citizens with an iron will tempered by purpose. For many living under its banner, life is not without hardship—but it is far from hopeless.
From One of the largest and most technologically advanced base Like Zvyozdny Gorodok to sprawling planetary settlements such as Planet Jiangxi in Omega-52, daily existence revolves around survival, loyalty, and resilience. Here’s what life looks like for the average Coalition citizen:
A Day in Zvyozdny Gorodok (Omega-52)
Nestled deep within the volatile Omega-52 system, Zvyozdny Gorodok serves as both a hub of industry and a bastion of culture for the Coalition. Citizens wake early here, their days dictated by the rhythm of work shifts at Aralsk Shipyard or research rotations at nearby Aralsk Research Station.
Life may be austere, but there’s pride in contributing to something greater than oneself. Workers speak reverently of “the mission”—a phrase that encapsulates the Coalition’s drive to reclaim lost glory and impose stability on the fractured borderworlds. Food rations are modest but sufficient, supplemented by hydroponic farms aboard Zhejiang Orbital. Entertainment comes sparingly, often taking the form of communal gatherings where tales of old Earth heroes and Sol-era exploits are retold.
Children attend mandatory schooling focused on history, engineering, and military discipline. Teachers emphasize the importance of unity, reminding students that they are descendants of saboteurs brave enough to disable the Hispania . It’s this shared legacy that binds them together—even if some whisper doubts about how much truth lies in the story.
Aralsk Research Station: The Engine of Innovation in the Omegas(Omega-52)
Nestled in low orbit around the gas giant Aralkum, Aralsk Research Station stands as a beacon of technological advancement—and a testament to the sacrifices required to maintain it. As the Sirius Coalition’s primary hub for research, development, and shipbuilding, this heavily guarded facility is both a fortress and a forge, churning out cutting-edge designs that have become the backbone of the Coalition’s military might.
For the thousands stationed aboard Aralsk, life is a delicate balance between awe-inspiring achievement and relentless pressure. Researchers and technicians work grueling shifts, often spending weeks without respite as they race to perfect new technologies or troubleshoot critical issues. Living quarters are utilitarian, designed more for functionality than comfort, though recreational areas provide brief escapes from the grind.
Security is paramount; unauthorized vessels approaching the station are met with swift interception by Coalition patrols. Even authorized personnel undergo rigorous screening before docking, underscoring the sensitive nature of the work conducted here. Rumors abound of espionage attempts thwarted by vigilant counterintelligence teams, adding an air of tension to daily operations.
As the Coalition continues its push into the outer reaches of the Omega systems, Aralsk Research Station will remain central to their efforts. Its contributions to science and warfare cannot be overstated—but neither can the precariousness of its position. Every kilogram of H-Fuel burned to stabilize its orbit represents a gamble, a choice between survival today and preparation for tomorrow.
Onboard Carrier Alvin Katz (Omega-52)
For those stationed aboard mobile carriers like the Alvin Katz , life moves at a different pace. Crew members rotate between maintenance duties, combat drills, and navigation tasks. Space is tight, privacy nonexistent, yet camaraderie runs high among these floating fortresses of the Coalition fleet.
Meals are communal affairs, served in cramped mess halls where stories of recent skirmishes against rogue pirates or Corsairs patrols dominate conversation. Despite the dangers inherent in their line of work, morale remains strong. Many view themselves as guardians of the Coalition’s vision, bringing order to the lawless void one sector at a time.
Planet Tangier (Omega-48): A Frontier Town Reborn
Today, life on Tangier reflects both the harshness of its environment and the determination of its inhabitants. Colonists live in fortified settlements built along faultlines deemed least prone to catastrophic seismic activity. Housing consists primarily of reinforced domes designed to withstand tremors and shield residents from the toxic dust kicked up by volcanic eruptions. Power comes from geothermal plants tapping into the planet’s immense internal heat, ensuring energy independence even in the face of logistical challenges.
Living conditions, while improving, remain austere. Food and water rations are carefully managed, supplemented by hydroponic farms housed within the larger settlements. Recreation is minimal, with downtime often spent repairing equipment or reinforcing structures against the ever-present threat of quakes. Yet, there is a sense of purpose among Tangier’s colonists—a shared belief that their sacrifices contribute to a brighter future for the Coalition.
Yet not all is idyllic. Dissenters occasionally voice grievances over strict curfews and heavy taxation, but most understand that sacrifices must be made to ensure long-term security. As one local elder put it, “Freedom isn’t free—it’s earned.”

Long live the Coalition!
