Synopsis
Æon C'bal, generally called the Æonians or Gammuians are an alien-cyber species usually originating from planet Gammu.
First discovered around the year 810 A.S. the form under the name of the Æon C'bal appeared reportedly the first time in 825 A.S.. Strongly connected with a network of Frames, the sentient space-travelling entities individually act and think, but are in constant communication or even under manipulation of the Daam-K'vosh objects that take reside under planet Gammu's surface.
Eventually this influence has lead to a drastic change of operation and approach. Other versions like PRIME, Artificial Intelligence Consensus, Harvesters, etc have shown a variety in appearance, action, diplomacy and even created forms of friendship under the influence of several Frames.
However the stories of Gammu are only scary content of human legends and rumors, certain information about the purpose and goals of the Æon C'bal and the Frames are by far only assumptions. Nothing serious has been researched or revealed since the human awakening.
The Æon C'bal
Hundred thousands of years ago, in a time when mankind was still dwelling in caverns and fighting in small bands with basic stick and stone weapons, a galactic super-species was already approaching their zenith of existence and glory. Establishing an empire that extended to all boundaries of the Milky Way, they frolicked in time and space with what could only be described as a god-like manner.
With their advanced capabilities and supreme intellect they played with technology and biology as easily and naturally as a human would cook a meal.
It was during this epic period of time, the beings now known as the Daam-K’vosh, created the Frames which they stored throughout their domain for unknown reasons and purposes, many still hidden and invisible to the developing, unsophisticated human race.
These Frames were developed to endure for eternity and potentially be the master, analogy or centre for the beings that mankind has come to know as the Nomads with capacity beyond the grasp of human imagination in complexity and number.
For mankind, the Frames are a mystery, an impossible puzzle, and a riddle which they will unlikely to solve before their own brief flicker of existence in the massive cosmos fades and dies.
Currently a mere few humans are aware and can recall encounters with Frames like the Shrine Frame or the Frames on planet Gammu. Most humans will never notice them and their existence are matters of softly spoken tales and dark, whispered rumours and legend.
Mostly everything in terms of the time and reason for the Frames and their exact relation towards the Daam-K’vosh is born of speculation. Some humans said that they were the reason for the empire to fall while others spread rumors they were created to serve or rule the Nomads. In any event, their exact purpose and reasons for appearing remain a mystery and each of the few encounters leads to endless speculation along the space lanes, in the bars and along the quiet corridors of even the most secret bases of Sirius.
Hidden from the ice and snow, the Daam-K’vosh Gammu Frame architecture was hidden until 810 A.S., when a joint exploratory operation between Zoners and Order detected a series of xenostructures under Gammu’s surface. Unwittingly the joint mission’s arrival led to the activation process of a massive Daam-K’vosh Frame.
During the activation several units were released to evaluate the environment and to learn about the unexpected arrival of the human foreigners, some of whom were allowed to remain under the surface for evaluation purposes.
Following this initial encounter and assimilation process, the Æon C’bal, the Æonians or usually called the Gammuians were formed as a final result of the reconnection of several Gammu Frames. It is certain that sentience is part of a synthetic evolution of an Æonian, however this may only be just a step in the evolutionary ladder of transcendence given by the Frames.
These beings travel through space in several shapes: Harvesters, Sentinels and even Bodyshells, although it is only the Harvesters, who are driven by the sentient Gammuian entity. The Harvesters are in command of the Sentinels and Bodyshells either through direct assignation or natural creation by the Harvester itself. Even though a Harvester may travel the universe alone, it remains in communication with the Frames at all times, constantly listening and reporting.
Aeon C'bal, generally called the Aeonians or Gammuians are a xeno-cyber species usually originating from planet Gammu.
First discovered and awakened around the year 810 A.S. the form under the name of the Aeon C'bal appeared reportedly the first time in 825 A.S.. Actively connected with the Nexus the sentient space-travelling entities individually act and think, but are in constant communication and even under control of the Dam-K'vosh objects that take reside under planet Gammu's surface.
A Gammu Artificial Intelligence carrying this ID is part of the Aeon C'bal, who:
- Can attack any ship in self-defense or to protect an allied or friendly ship anywhere
- Can attack any ship in the Omicrons.
- Can attack any ship and object that contain Daam-K'vosh technology
- Cannot use any transports with more than 4,200 cargo.
- Cannot participate in unlawful actions except as described above.
Allowed ships: Fighters, AI Drone, Freighters, Transports, Gunboats, AI Cruiser
Naming Convention and Ranks
Sentinel:Sentinel Gammuian is the rank assigned to a new Gammuian player he gets within his trial time of one week. They interact as a part of a present Harvester and by this have an experienced player on their side. Once they have proven that their RP is at a notable level of knowledge they will be moved up to the next rank. Suggested by the rank name, Sentinel Gammuians are limited to the Sentinel class and and will receive an #number extra brand. Sentinel Gammuian:Example: Gammu|Enigma#36 Available Ships:Sentinel class Available Names:Name will be assigned by the leader
Harvester:Harvester Gammuian is the second level in the Gammu hierarchy. Harvesters are free to use both the Sentinel and the Harvester after proving they can handle the additional roleplay that comes with such a promotion. InRP they are in control of Sentinel drones, but are limited to host only self-controlled Sentinels. Harvester Gammuian:Example: Gammu|Miljun Available Ships:Sentinel Class, Harvester Class Available Names:Name can be suggested
Enigma:Enigma Gammuian is the third level in the Gammu hierarchy. Enigmas are free to use the Sentinel, the Harvester and the Human class. This rank comes with a far wider ZOI than the Sentinel and Harvester Gammuians and is responsible for the resource aspects of planet Gammu. They are allowed to assign another Sentinel player to their Harvester which will share the name. Enigma Gammuian:Example: Gammu|Miljun Available Ships:Sentinel Class, Harvester Class, Human Ships Available Names:Name can be suggested
Sentient:Sentient Gammuians present the highest autonomous capacity of the Gammuians and generally appear as mini-frames. They can also appear in an Android or similar form after proving they can handle the additional roleplay that comes with such a promotion and the global environment of Discovery. This status can only be reached if a certain ammount and quality of forum-roleplay is submitted. Sentient Gammuian:Gammu|Name Available Ships:Sentinel Class , Harvester Class, Human ships Available Names:Name can be suggested
Frame:The Frame describes the highest evolutionary state of an individual Gammuian. It's architecure, sentience and capacity has reached the state of a Frame. These Gammuians are strongly influencing and even controlling all Gammuians in the environment and even can create whole new colonies. Names:Unknown Available Ships:Unknown
The META-Form:The META-Form describes the unification with the one. It's sentience is entirely merged with the Mecha-Nexus. Names:Unknown Available Ships:Unknown
Zone of Influence
Omicrons:Full Access Sigmas:Enigma Gammuian and above Omegas:Enigma Gammuian and above Taus:Enigma Gammuian and above House space:Enigma Gammuian and above (only with supervision) Not listed:
The group known as the Canaan Project is responsible for the very first conversion of human technology into Gammuian technology. They had studied, rested and survived under Gammu's surface for a couple years and have been upgraded with cybenitcs and artificial material. Nowadays, they follow an unrelated destiny, but are still partially influenced by Gammu.
The Nomads are a biological creation of the Daam-K'vosh. Even though earlier encounters were negative and probably a result of the unexpected intervention and conversion of human and their technology, the Aeon C'bala seeks to stabilize the situation and neutrality.
Information of this faction vary, they seem to be unusual foreigners within the society of mankind and living under a self-defined ideology. An interest into investigation of the Æon C'bal was shown. Caution is advised.
Zoners are a ununified group of the mankind. They mostly act from an individual perspective and on their own. Every new encounter will treated unique. Zoners, in charge of assets within Omicron Kappa are to be expelled, eradicated or converted.
Generally appearing as an ilogical species with a light primitive behaviour, the corsairs have been helpful and hostile in different times towards different Gammu appearances. Each encounter will be treated unique. Corsairs, in charge of assets within Omicron Kappa are to be expelled, eradicated or converted.
Not much is known about this Order group. They seem to be independently operating from the Order faction documented in database, but potentially share similar xenophobic tendencies.
Not much is known about this group. They originate from a human region called Kusari. They revealed the motivation to terminate the Slomon K'hara, but a general xenophobic tendenciy wasn't documented.
The Order are a paranoid xeno-hunting group. They are to be eradicated in order to save the presevation.

Gammu RP
This is a general guideline for the Gammu RP. We generally express the RP with the words to be used, formulations and nomenclature, but also use a cryptic form of speech. Even we use punctuation mark within the sentence, we finish the line with :: However we don't force the players to redact from cryptic RP if they desire for it.
The RP basics are:
<Text here> to express a status. It is only an internal meta-information and usually not to be seen inRP, but ooRP for a proper reaction by others.
Coding:
Nouns = [nouns]
Names = 'Name'
Example <[subject_scan] 'John.Doe' activated> or <relocates to [postion]> or <[communication_interface] activated>
::Text here:: to speak to another entity.
Example ::Good evening, my name is Marvin. You will be deconstructed. Resistance is not advised::
Gammu Technology
Sentinel Class:The "Sentinel"-class vessel is a usually remote-controlled mysterious shell created by the Gammuians inhabiting Omicron Kappa.
Its large size and low maneuverability hide an incredible speed, due to the unknown workings of the Gammuian engine design.
Its exact capabilities are unknown, however scans have revealed an amazing power generation, enabling sustained fire for long periods of time.
Any attempts at capture to study the technology have failed, as it appears to be equipped with a self-destruct mechanism.
Harvester Class:The Harvester-class vessels were nicknamed after the farming machines of old after the demonstration of the similarities in their roles to the rest of Sirius.
Its exact capabilities and purpose are unknown, but it appears to be a re-purposed, formerly unarmed Cruiser-class vessel and the host for the Sentinel drones.
Even though its current shield and weapon systems appear to be reverse-engineered human designs, it possesses an incredible agility which makes it a dangerous threat for the large, lumbering capital ships of the neighboring factions.
Any attempts at capture to study the technology or to find out its original purpose have failed, as it appears to be equipped with a self-destruct mechanism.
'I would like to be half as clever as some people like to believe they are' Life is full of disappointments, it is how we handle them that helps to define us, as a person
I only had good encounters with your faction so far, both on the RP and PVP aspects. I wish you good luck in achieving officialdom.
This Galaxy is vast; its wonders and beauty are almost unfathomable. But the galaxy also hides dark secrets, some of which have lain dormant since the beginning of time itself. There is a danger in secrets, both in seeking and in knowing. Some things are meant to be hidden from view. Some mysteries defy understanding, and sometimes even the things we think we know are untrue. Some secrets should remain untouched.
I had only good encounters too, always inRP. One situation good illustrate faction - in encounter on lone VHF with 3 SHF they are really kept fight fair and leaves all chances to me. Also looks like they not fear bring responsibility for indie players, that very good too. Good luck with officialdom.
