The Enforcers - Spess Police
« on: April 06, 2013, 12:21:32 PM »


After a short while of developing, I think it's time to release the mod to the world - The Enforcers, an organized group of vigilantes with one set goal. Ridding Corvus of criminal scum.

Lore
Spoiler
The Enforcers were founded when several rich Hegemony officers were taken prisoner by the TTS Hawk after the destruction of the HSS Trident. Whilst in detainment, the officer reflected on the state of Corvus, the all agreed it was a dog-eat-dog system, where only the strong would survive. Hence why everything has a massive gun mounted onto it. They vowed that if they got out of the Tri-Tachyon ship that was transporting them, they would begin an effort to make Corvus a safer place to live in.

Fortunately, for the officers, a Hegemony patrol intercepted the Tri-Tachyon ship. Initially, that battle was going well for the Hegemony, but the Tri-Tachyon's superior fire power disabled most of the patrol. The battle ended with the wreck of the HSS Defiant enforcer-class destroyer crashing into the TSS Hawk, tearing a gash into the main cargo hold, and part of the prison bay. The Officer attempted to escape, but were forced to hide from a group of marines, preventing hostile troops from boarding the ship from the breech, so the officers hid in some near-empty supply crates. These crates were soon jettisoned from the TTS hawk to lower the risk of an accident.

The remaining crew of the HSS Defiant recovered the crates, desperate for food. as wells as supplies, they found the Hegemony officers. The crew sent a distress signal to Hegemony fleets in the area, but none arrived due to the proximity of the ship to the Tri-Tachyon HQ. The officers took command of the ship, and its crew. Despite the forced rationing and single active thruster on the engines, the HSS Defiant made it back to the orbital station.

The officers and the crew both resigned from the Hegemony, and began enlisting mercenaries to join the newly formed 'Enforcers', in honour of the ship that saved them. The Enforcers began small, taking on pirate scouts and small attack fleets. But soon enough, more and mercenaries were recruited. Some even volunteered to join, without being paid. The Tri-Tachyon representatives for Corvus, taking fear of this growing threat in the system, started to launch minor attacks on the Enforcers. The Tri-Tachyon commanders were told this was because were linked to Hegemony, and the Enforcers were listed as 'enemies of the Tri-Tachyon'. This lead to the Tri-Tachyon becoming criminals in the eyes of the Enforcers, as a result, more mercenaries joined the Enforcers, hoping to get a chance at some revenge against the Tri-Tachyon. This conflict has not changed much to date, Corvus is still a difficult place to live in, but the Enforcers still feel they have made an effect.

Also guys, for the WIP Zoro-class, should it be a cruiser or capital ship? ???

It's going for a capital ship, but right now, I'm not 100% sure.
