In Defence of the Crown “Two rogue legionaries; doesn’t say which legion. Around six hostages: mostlymembers of the same family, taken from housing within the dome. No demands.It doesn’t mention motives.”

Cromwell sets the data-slate down on the seat beside him, pulls a handkerchief from his jacket pocket, and cleans half-moon spectacles, while the flier lurchesaround London’s spires. It’s a troop carrier: rows of seats and straps, allbattleship grey, made darker by sparse lighting. Cromwell is incongruous: a manof advancing years, dressed in tweed, strapped in a military flier. What silver hairremains is cropped short, and his waistcoat has the thickness of armour.

Nzambi rests, eyes closed, in the next seat. She has the look of a greyhound:sleek in a hungry sort of way, all bone and sinew. Her skin is the colour of milkchocolate, her hair braided tight against her scalp. She fits the flier: armouredfatigues match the grey of the bulkhead.

Cromwell replaces his glasses, folds the kerchief and returns it to his jacket, thenchecks the data-slate for updates.

“They’re talking about us,” Nzambi doesn’t open her eyes. “Anything interesting?” “The usual,” her voice takes on an East London accent, “ ‘ow can you trustsomeone who’s had their brain messed with by foreigners? Ain’t right.’ ” Cromwell’s brows furrow, “I wonder how they knew IIS was sending psions.”

A red light flashes over the tail ramp. The flier stabilises. A clunk, and a whirr,and the tail-ramp opens, lowering. Light floods the flier from a bright autumnsky, the rush of wind past the door brings an early chill. Nzambi opens her eyes.

“Would you mind?” Cromwell gestures to a long bag on the floor, as they unstrapthemselves. Nzambi slings it over her shoulder; something hard and heavy isinside. She hops off the ramp before it has finished opening. Cromwell takes uphis walking-cane and stands, waiting in the ramp-way until the ramp hascompleted its motion, then disembarks with somewhat more decorum.Behind them, the flier roars, and arcs away, leaving Cromwell and Nzambistanding, near the apex, on one of London’s southern domes.

Strictly, it isn’t a dome: it’s a polyhedron with many facets and at this height, theslope of the facets is slight enough that they can be traversed by foot fairlysafely. Cromwell turns back the way they had come: the slope of the dome dropsaway, into patchy cloud that clings to its sides. High-altitude winds whine overthe polyhedron’s edges. Overhead, the sky is crisp, scrubbed blue.

The facet at their feet is grimily clear, offering a vertiginous view down throughgantries and high plazas, micro-parks and stolid blocks of housing. Cromwell,unperturbed, limps after Nzambi.

“Haven’t you healed that yet?” Nzambi doesn’t turn. “Permanent injuries are still somewhat above my mastery,” Cromwell calls overthe wind.

Around the dome, on a pale grey, weathered facet, a Home Guard squad hunkerdown: broad shapes in hard-shell combat armour. One is injured, the armour on

his arm still smoking. Another is lying down, dusted with frost. Seeing Cromwell




and Nzambi, the squad sergeant stands, carbine held casually. The cloud clingscloser here, creeping up toward the soldiers.

Nzambi does not acknowledge the Guard, or make any indication that she’s evenseen them. She stalks to a spot near where they’re crouched, sets down the bagwith a heavy metal clunk, and stands, gazing into space, turning her head asthough listening for something. The soldiers stare at her warily, helmets andgoggles turning their faces beetle-blank, muttering to each other over the radio.

“We are sharing your frequencies,” Cromwell smiles, tapping a comm-bead in hisear. He stops before the sergeant, both hands resting on his walking-cane.Despite the limp, he has a straight-backed military bearing. “IIS specialoperatives Cromwell and Nzambi. I understand you requested assistance.”

“We requested snipers and air support, not a weird-ass vat mutant,” the sergeantdoes not uncover his face. His finger rests near the trigger of his carbine.

“Sorry to disappoint you, sergeant. The IIS considered us to be more suited tothe task.”

“Who are you, anyway? Her handler?” he jerks his head toward Nzambi, the

helmet hiding his expression.A hard, barking laugh makes some of the Guard start. Cromwell pulls an ID cardfrom his waistcoat pocket and presents it to the sergeant, “Similar mutant,different vat. Agent Nzambi is clairsentient; I am vitakinetic.” The sergeant shifts uncomfortably, blank goggles staring at the card. “Great”, hegrunts, “We’ve got a siege to break, and they send us a witch-doctor.” “I was considered to be the most suitable method of providing medical support toyour squad.”

“We’ll take our chances with the paramedics,” the sergeant steps to blockCromwell’s view of the prone soldier.

“I have seen his aura, sergeant. He was a healthy lad: the broken left shin hashealed well, as has the, ah, rash. But the frost-burn is severe, and will kill him in

probably less than twenty minutes. With the legionaries complicating directextraction from this spot-” “You keep your mutant hands off my boys. And your weird vision, too.” “Sergeant, I do not expect you to trust me,” Cromwell bites off staccato words, “but do not actively hinder me in the assistance of my countrymen! If youprevent me from healing him, you are killing one of your own men.” He takes adeep breath. His voice lowers, softens, “It is not pleasant making the call to asoldier’s widow. Believe me.”

There is a moment while the sergeant stands, rigid, glaring. Then, with aninsubordinate sigh that can be heard through his helmet, he steps aside, “I’mwatching you.”

“And IIS is watching us all,” Cromwell murmurs.Cromwell kneels awkwardly beside the lying, frosted guardsman. His goggles andfaceplate have been removed; his lips and the tip of his nose are purple-black.Cromwell lays a callused hand against his face, another on his stomach, andstares down at the lad’s closed eyes. Cromwell takes a deep breath, and lets itout, slowly, laboriously. His breath clouds, thick and cold, and is dragged awayby the wind.The soldier groans. His eyelids flicker.Cromwell, a little paler, looks up at the sergeant, “He is still very badly hurt, butis stable. He can be safely moved. Get him to somewhere warm.” After that display, the soldier with the injured arm allows Cromwell to mitigate hisburns, then he, and another soldier, carry the frost-burned lad to a facet farenough away for air evacuation.

Cromwell stands a moment, leaning on his cane, breathing deeply. Through allthis, Nzambi has stood, poised, head slowly turning, eyes gazing, unfocussed,past the sky. As colour returns to Cromwell’s face, he turns back to the sergeant.

“Tell me about these rogue legionaries.” “They’re at the top of an access building, where it pokes up through the dome.It’s anti-clockwise from this point. This ridge here,” he points, “is giving us cover.The whole face is covered in cloud, has been since they got there. Meansvisibility’s shot, and we’ve got to rely on IR for anything past about ten metres.Problem is, them legionaries are near invisible on IR, an’ when they throw outfire, you can’t see a damn thing for awhile. It’s like them aberrants: their freakpowers mess you up.”

“They’re chilling the air to condense cloud. Ingenious,” Cromwell raises hiseyebrows.

Cromwell limps over to the bag that Nzambi carried for him, kneels, sets down hiscane, and unzips the bag. He extracts several large, matt-grey components, andover the course of a few minutes, assembles what looks like a very long rifle,though the barrel is bulked out by some surrounding mechanism for its entire

length. The final rifle is about a metre and a half long, and though the barrel’sbore is small, its surrounding mechanism gives the barrel the diameter of agrapefruit. Several blocky units attach to one side, and a bipod is folded againstthe underside.

Cromwell takes off his half-moon spectacles, “Metal-framed,” he explains to thesergeant, then takes a set of keys from a pocket, and stows both in the bag.Finally, he pulls out a set of vision-enhancing goggles, and dons them.

“Where are they?” Cromwell looks up at Nzambi with insect-like lenses. “Both are inside, at the wall nearest us,” Nzambi picks up the gun withoutlooking, “One is watching out of the far-right window.”

“Ah-”

“Your right.” “Thank you,” Cromwell smiles. “The other is sitting below the middle window, about seventy centimetres to theleft of its centre. Your left. He is injured, but not badly. Both have auto pistols.” Nzambi’s voice seems to come from far away. She stands perfectly still, gazinginto space, “The hostages are toward the rear of the room, staying low, andmostly in the stair-well, the lower door of which has been welded shut andbarricaded. Some have minor cuts, likely from debris.”

“Can you tell their legion?” “Facial tatoos suggest the seventh.” “Not the sixth? Seventh is deep-space,” Cromwell frowns. “No, they’re seventh legion, though their accents are local.”

“What are they saying?” Cromwell’s knuckles tighten on his cane. “I think the hostages… they’re not hostages. They’re family. The legionariescame back to them, hoping their family might help hide them. They’re talkingabout something they saw. Something about a space-ship… it’s called the HMSSVictorious.”

“Sergeant”, Cromwell turns, lifts his goggles for a moment to look at the sergeantwith his own eyes, “We are about to make our assault. Are your men ready?”

“With the snipers and gunships I asked for, we’d be ready,” the sergeant growls, “I ain’t trusting my men’s safety to foreign spook powers.” He turns smartly, andleads his men some distance back.

Cromwell watches him go, the muscles in his jaw twitching. He snaps down hisgoggles, and limp-marches toward the edge, beyond which the legionaries wait.Nzambi gives no indication that she even heard the exchange. She simply




follows, carrying the enormous gun. Poking out of the dome’s vertexes, aerialssing.They head down-slope, so that, as they approach the edge, they are shrouded incloud. While wind whips past, the cloud’s position stays fairly constant. Theyapproach the edge at a crouch, then a crawl, using the ridge as cover.

The air is cooler here. In the cloud, moisture beads on tweed and armour, andcombines with grime to make the roof slippery. Near the edge, Nzambi passesthe gun to Cromwell. He braces it against his shoulder, snaps a shield out of thegun’s side: IR reflective armour with a narrow viewing slit. Nzambi pulls up herarmour’s hood, snaps rigid plates together until only her eyes are visible, andthen draws a sonic pistol.

“Ready?” Nzambi faces Cromwell for the first time, fixes him with wide, dark,almond-shaped eyes.

“Have they moved?” Cromwell hisses. “They’re still in place.” “One seventy centimetres to my left of the centre of the middle window, sittingagainst the wall, one in the right-hand window.”

“Yes.” Cromwell takes a deep breath, then shoulders the gun forward, cresting the edge.He sees the access building through the slit in the gun’s shield: a dome, a realone, three windows facing this way, no obvious IR trace in any of them. Hebraces the weapon, carefully aims it at a point in the wall.

A heat flash in the far-right window accompanies the retort of gunfire. A bulletricochets off the edge nearby.

“They’re still in place,” Nzambi is laying on her back, gazing past the sky. “Go.” Two events happen simultaneously.Nzambi flips to her feet, over the ridge.

There is a crack of torn air, filling the space between Cromwell’s gun and thebuilding, accompanied by a metallic bang, as a small cratered hole appears in thebuilding’s wall, below the middle window and seventy centimetres to the left.

Nzambi presents an erratic target, rolling toward the building, sonic pistolscreaming. Heat-flares in the window coincide with gunshots. One wingsNzambi, but she rolls with it, olaminium-laced armour reducing the impact tobruising. She drops below a gout of flame.A second crack of torn air: a sonic boom from the coil-gun’s tiny projectile. Asplattering sound, like a balloon filled with porridge exploding. A metallic bang asa cratered hole appears in the back wall of the building. After the gout of flame,it’s hard to make out the IR trace that materialises in the right-hand window,

hurled back, in pieces.Nzambi stops, turns, walks back to Cromwell, “Both dead. We’re done here.” Cromwell sighs, levers himself up into a sitting position. “Not quite. The HomeGuard still have work to do. After what they’ve heard, we’ll need to bring thefamily in for processing.” Over the wind, from the building, comes muted crying.Nzambi picks up the coil-gun, and helps Cromwell to his feet, as the cloud startsto blow away.

Trinity: IIS – An Introduction The UK of the 2120s is a dark & prejudiced place. The strange and peculiar are viewed withsuspicion and fear. A culture of reporting on friends and family is fostered and encouraged.The brains of the Integrated Intelligence Service (I.I.S) with the brawn of the Home Guard act

to root out and destroy any and all "threats to the Crown".In this environment of paranoia the government must be able to rely on its special operationsunits, one of which is Team 4, Codename: Lionheart.

Players take the role of Psions, psychic individuals whose powers have been triggered by oneof seven PSI Orders but who now work for the British Government. The UK distrusts psionsat best and despises them at worst so the team will have their work cut out for them, both indoing their jobs against a backdrop of oppression and fear and convincing their senior officersthat they can be trusted and are on the same side.

“Let’s start from the beginning shall we Mr. Drummond?” Albert Myers pushed a large metallic grey box across the desktop and pressed

down on two thick and rather stiff black buttons. Drummond turned his headaround from the window and eyed the device suspiciously.

“What the hell is that thing supposed to be?” he asked, a failing tone of defiancein his voice.Drummond was sweating terribly, his eyes looked red and perilous. With his tenseshoulders and shaking hands he had all the classic markings of a hunted animal.Myers smiled broadly and pushed back his trim glasses with a forefinger,

“It’s an antique analogue recording device called a tape recorder . I find itparticularly useful in my line of work. Much harder for people to monitor.” Drummond swallowed hard. This was it then. The moment he would begin tomeasure his life in minutes rather than days. He was now an informant.

The United Kingdom of the 22nd

centuryIsolationist to the point of xenophobia the United Kingdom’s relationship with other countriesis due in the most part to the fact that it is the single most prosperous nation in 22 nd centuryEurope. It’s recovery after the Aberrant war was fuelled by an aggressive program ofecological restoration giving rise to both a very clear split between the rural and (London)arcology cultures and huge fears within Government and the mass media over the hordes ofEuropean refugees seeking a new and better life on British shores.

The British fear of “outsiders” goes beyond their European neighbours. There is alsosuspicion that any visitors from more prosperous nations may be seeking to exploit the UK orare sneering down their noses at the nation’s efforts to achieve a place on the inter stellarstage.

It should be noted that the British xenophobia and conservatism is not based in racism assuch. Most people living in the United Kingdom wouldn’t care what colour your skin was aslong as you were born in the UK. Similarly a child of British parents born and brought up inParis will be considered a “stinking Frenchie”.

The French Flu A strange phenomenon appears to have accompanied the devastation in France caused bythe crash of the space station Esperanza . Legal visitors to Britain (along with all permanentresidents and nationals) are given an immunisation against a vicious and incapacitatingdisease referred to as “French Flu”. Injections for visitors last for two months with a boostergiven when they renew their travel papers. Vaccinations for permanent residents give lifelong protection from the disease. Scientists and doctors are mystified as to why the diseaseonly occurs on British soil and many Æsculapians have come to the country to research the




infection to try to determine it’s cause (for full details of the Flu see Shattered Europe page93).

The city of the future vs. this green and pleasant land One fifth of the population (8.5 million people) lives in the only British Arcology, the giant citycomplex of London, the location of Britain’s only spaceport and proposed location of a“beanstalk”; a giant elevator linking London to low Earth orbit . The culture here is much likeany urban area in the rest of the solar system. It is cosmopolitan, diverse and changesrapidly. However many visitors find it somewhat staid and stagnant as all media of note isimported talent and there have been no domestic media talents of any real merit profiled orheadlining in the city for many years. It seems that in a back lash against the provincialism ofthe British rural culture anything native to the nation is seen by residents of the arcology asstale.

On the flip side to this the culture outside London is vibrant and active. Folk music is on theup with predominant themes of lasting simple pleasures verses momentary diversions, arejection of technology for technology’s sake, and ridicule of hollow spontaneity. Those Britswho live outside the archology still watch and enjoy the mass media broadcasts from thehuge multinational entertainment corporations but they would generally agree that they preferthe local material and artists who relate to them, their issues and where they are. In contrastthe local entertainment movements in the UK have started to come to the attention of some ofthe large Australian media moguls who are now scouring the festivals, gigs and pubs for the“next big thing” to launch onto the stellar market.

Ever since the Aberrant war religion has remained a large facet of British society. MostEnglish people, particularly in rural areas, are at least nominal adherents to the AnglicanChurch, while the Roman Catholic Church enjoys great support in Wales and Ireland. Thatsaid there are an increasing number of individuals who have left the Catholic Church for thesplinter group calling itself Orthodox Catholicism (formed in response to the 2084 Vaticanreforms).

The Monarchy King George VII reigns figuratively over the United Kingdom at the tender age of 17, havingrisen to the throne after the passing of his father, King Charles IV, in June 2120. It was knownfor quite some time that the relatively young King Charles’ health was failing and so Georgewas pushed hard in his training - so hard that he’s developed something of a rebellious will.George hasn’t acted on his feelings yet - he is still following Prime Minister Gatwick’s requestsin the letter, but his temper is growing shorter. Worse, the young king has something of afascination with all things psionic as well as Muzzein-Bang - an entertainment form availableto him only through foreign media.

George’s uncle Prince Harry, Duke of York, and his aunt Eleanor, the Princess Royal,recognize the hellion streak in George and are trying to hold him back until such time as theyfeel he is mature enough to turn the people from the path Gatwick has set. Harry, known assomething of a joker, is next in line to the throne and can think of nothing worse than beingking - especially a king under the thumb of a troll like Gatwick.

After the changes made in 2009 to the rites of succession which from that point allowedmembers of the Roman Catholic Church to once again legally take the throne Prince William,who would eventually be crowned King William V, converted to Catholism. His children werebrought up as catholics and the present King is now the third consecutive catholic monarch ofthe British Isles. While King George is somewhat lapse in practising his faith the OrthodoxCatholic movement see him as a prime ally and believe that he can be swayed to assist themin promoting their agenda and the independence of the Isle of Man.

Many skeletons lay in the Royal family’s closet but possibly the most recently laid to rest isthat King Charles XI suffered and died from Gruber’s Rot, a little known wasting diseasecaused by Taint. Basil Gatwick ensured that this was covered up as it just wouldn’t do to havethe public know that their Monarch was ‘Tainted’. The course of the disease was slow and




Page 11 of 60

painful forcing the King Charles to withdraw more and more from public life each year. TheRoyal Doctor, Albert Solanski’s, efforts to recruit an Æsculapian were frustrated by Gatwick’sagents for so long that when Solanski finally went all out and bribed a palace servant to passa note to a visiting Rex, It was already far too late. Solanski is currently imprisoned for thisaction in a facility in the Cotswalds - a fact that Prince Harry has learnt, but is holding backfrom the king. Should George ever find out about this it’s likely that he will lose all patience

with Gatwick and his government’s Isolationist policies.

The Maglev network The British have had a long love/hate relationship with trains, from the romantic ideal of steamlocomotives to the crush of over burdened commuter trains. This trend has continued into the2100’s with the development of the National Maglev Network (NMN). Developed to allowswift, reliable, delivery of goods and people into the capital the government sponsorednetwork emanates like a spider’s web from the London arcology, touching all points of GreatBritain. On paper the network appears all encompassing, connecting all parts of the nationwith swift, reliable and cost effective transport. The reality is much different.

The government’s plan was to ensure that London got what it needed; goods for consumptionin the capital or for export via the London spaceport, and those few workers who stillcommuted into the mammoth city. Beyond that in the minds of the Government the networkserves no other purpose. Trains are rerouted or cancelled to ensure that services to Londonare maintained. Therefore while a prospective passenger can always find regular and speedytrains in and out of the capital, travelling to other destinations is fraught with delays,cancellations and stoppages. Tickets are often unavailable, having been booked weeks inadvance, and the carriages used are frequently decrepit old rolling stock that should havebeen retired years ago and yet is packed to the doors with passengers. It should also benoted that ticket prices for travel to other destinations are loaded to compensate for thereductions applied to London prices.

British Industry To many peoples surprise British businesses have seen a steady increase in profits since theEsperanza disaster. Aided by the strong foundation supplied by developments in theagriculture sector Great Britain is home to a number of successful companies. There issomewhat of a regional bias in terms of industry in the UK with manufacturing predominatingin the North while farming (found throughout the country) is focused in the south and west.Due to the ecological restoration program and the agreement with Nippon to supply the nationwith much needed biomass the agriculture industry in the UK is experiencing a period ofprosperity. All aspects of farming is represented across the country, from livestock farming (inparticular, but not limited to, cows, pigs and sheep) to grain and cereals, vegetables and fruitand in some areas of the south the climate and soil is even suitable for vineyards and wineproduction.In contrast London Archology is a thriving centre for the service industries, retail sectors andfinancial companies and now boasts most European head offices of major meta-nationals.This coupled with the London Spaceport and maglev hub serves to keep visitors flooding intothe archology, regardless of the border restrictions and general treatment of foreigners.

Companies of note:Reed Rosen – Makers of high end, high performance Skimmers. Reed Rosen cater fordiscerning and selective clientele throughout human space. Most manufacturing for export isdone off planet in orbital factories however, after entering into a contract with the British HomeGuard to supply a range of combat capable skimmers, the company has recently reopened alarge manufacturing complex in the north east of England. Independent analysts have yet tobe convinced of the suitability of this decision and the quality of the final product.Wembley & Hardcastle – A British based company with the exclusive contract to provideman portable ranged weapons (i.e. pistols, carbines and support weapons) to the BHG,Wembley & Hardcastle’s bid was sold on the basis that they have the licence to produce L-K

weapons. The W&H versions of the guns vary little from the L-K originals except for theuniform matt black finish and W&H name. That said innovation has been a British forte since




the time of Isenbard Kingdom Brunel and so W&H produce a variety of non-L-K models whichconsist of a set of standardised modifications to basic L-K weapons.British Power – Supplying energy to the majority of the nation British Power has had achequered and dark history. An early proponent of alternative energy sources Britain wouldnot be in the relatively strong and stable state it is in now without the wind turbines, solargenerators and other sources of energy created and maintained by BP. However many

believe that these advances were due directly or in part by the work of Aberrants during thewar and that stigma and shadow has haunted the company ever since.Mayhews – The Agriculture magnate, founded, owned and run for over a hundred years bythe Mayhew family. Mayhews owns farms, it manages farms, it trains farm staff, itmanufactures and supplies farm equipment, it supplies temporary farm staff during seasonalperiods, to many people it is synonymous with farming in the UK. About 30% of farms in theUK are owned or run by the company with another 37% relying on Mayhews equipment. Assuch the company is a strong lobbying force for the industry as a whole, but is still not theonly player in the market. Plus some in the I.I.S. believe that a good proportion of the“seasonal staff” used by Mayhews are illegal immigrants. A full investigation may beforthcoming but will have to be handled extremely delicately.

British Technology In the 22 nd century technology surrounds all of humanity and Britain has been swift toembrace whatever cutting edge tech it can acquire. This has lead to the current polite butreserved alliance with Nippon; Britain supplies the Nipponese with much needed biomasswhile Nippon provides training, machinery, advanced technical specifications, and thelicences to produce such items. Both nations have benefited from this arrangement but theBritish are well aware that the technology they receive is by no means the cutting edge ofNipponese development. However they are nothing if not resourceful.

As mentioned above there is a long history of invention and innovation in British engineeringand in these austere times this has never been truer. This impacts in two specific ways; firstlyvery little is wasted in every manufacturing process or business. Companies and individualsare far more likely to repair rather than replace broken items and there is a generalconsensus that even if something isn’t the best item available if it’s cheaper to maintain thanto purchase a new replacement you just make do. Technology dating back to the Aberrant eracan occasionally be seen, particularly in rural areas, cobbled together and lovingly maintainedby those who have inherited it over time. Such items are rarely of direct Aberrant manufactureor the advanced levels of technology it is rumoured that they were capable of buildinghowever the Æon Trinity are often on the lookout for such lost “gems” and will go to greatefforts to purchase or obtain such items for analysis, much to the British Governmentschagrin.

Secondly every Nipponese design that British companies receive they analyse and reverseengineer, then rebuild and redesign to their own requirements, the final commerciallyproduced design often baring only a similarity to the original. Similarly technology purchasedby the British Government will almost always be sourced from the UK where possible

however if it must be purchased from foreign companies it will be dismantled, investigated,rebuilt and refitted as necessary. By changing and modifying such technology theGovernment feels they are better protected from enemy powers (for example the layout andcapabilities of British run OE Ltd Pathfinder Patrol ships will be completely identical to eachother but completely different to a commercially available vessel of the same class andmodel) and the technical knowledge of the government engineering and scientific staffincreases. In this way British companies and the Government are increasing the complexity oftheir own designs and technology level at a rapid rate, a fact that has not escaped theirNipponese partners.

It should be noted that all this refers to hard tech, not bioapps. The British authoritiesgenerally disdain bioapps across the board as they consider them inseparably linked toPsions. As all the Psion orders are based in countries other than Britain all biological

technology is considered, by association, to be of foreign, and possibly even alien, origin.Bioapps of any nature don’t go down well in the UK. Individuals openly carrying or wearingbiological technology will be given dirty stares and in all likelihood the Home Guard will be




Page 13 of 60

called by a concerned citizen. Likewise while there may be some rare exceptions theGovernment tends to have a “no-tolerance” policy of bioapp use by its staff, it is a policy thatthe few Government Psions are constantly petitioning against.

British Fashion and style Although the British Government does not restrict access to international media few people inBritain outside of London pay little attention to it, seeing it as irrelevant to their interests. Inthe light of such insular thinking it is unsurprising that elements of British culture can appearsomewhat strange or unconventional to the rest of Human society. Possibly the most obviousquirk is the fashions of the Neu Elizabethan movement .

In a time when most people living in Britain are fiercely proud of their nation and, with theprospect of the London Bridge, looking forward to the future of the nation in space andamongst the stars it may be unsurprising that the latest fashions of the day are harkeningback to the time of Queen Elizabeth the first, a period of exploration, conquest and expansionfor Great Britain. For women with an eye for cutting edge fashions this means many layeredgowns, high and wide shoulders, bodices and ruffs. Fashionable men are wearing linenshirts, doublets, hose and jerkins. But in this technology driven age the clothing might bear aphysical resemblance to that of the 1500s but below the surface it is often very different. TheElizabethan fashions copied by the movement were regularly decorated in ornate beadingand embroidery and modern designers, such as the oft lauded Roberta Fine, are using suchfeatures to hide all kinds of personal electronics, such as minicomps, biomonitors, andcommunication devices. The movement has also seen a return to wearing “favours”; badges,ribbons or gifts showing allegiance to a company or cause or the affections of a loved one.Socially these give a clear indication of a wearer’s taste and opinions but when twoindividuals arrive at a party wearing the same lover’s token the results can become somewhatembarrassing and on some occasions turn violent.




While a British gent may get a strange look on Olympus as he strolls past in his tights, softshoes, jerkin and ruff such ostentatious attire may seem at odds with the reality of the austereand reserved United Kingdom. However it has been a historic trend in Britain, particularly insuch lean times, for individuals to wear their wealth openly. From Celtic times to the Victoriaera onwards people were often judged socially solely on appearance. If an individual appearswealthy and can afford to go out bedecked with jewels and fancies the impression given isthat they must be a person of actual importance and riches. Thus while things may be hard

for the average British citizen they will still dress up in their flambouyant best at every givenopportunity. It also means that if an individual has smart clothes and the confidence to carrythem off they can pretty much gain acceptance wherever they go.

Crime and disorder No matter what statistics the Government laud and publicise crime is rampant in 22 nd centuryGreat Britain. Violent crime is rare, due in the main to the very constant and visible presenceof the Home Guard, but in a society where the majority have very little theft, fraud, smugglingand forgery are wide spread. For the majority of British residents “victimless” crime (mediapiracy, petty shoplifting and the like) are seen as something “everyone does to get by”. Ameans to acquire a few luxuries to alleviate the day to day drudgery. Larger scale crime canoften be attributed to organised gangs, some originating from continental Europe and the neareast that have well developed networks for the movement of goods, and in many casespeople.

Smuggling immigrants (and to a lesser extent bioapps and foreign tech) into the UK is verybig business and requires a high level of organisation and inside contacts. Likewise a vastamount of Home Guard resources are dedicated to clamping down on such trade.

Drugs are a significant problem in the UK, especially within the London Arcology. People seethem as a means of escape or as a cosmopolitan affectation, with the added “glamour” factorthat most of the drugs produced legally in Sudamerica are still considered illegal in Britain.

The British Home Guard The heavy handed enforcement of British law and the responsibility for constant vigilanceagainst invasion of the nation’s borders falls to the British Home Guard (BHG), the combinedarmed forces of the United Kingdom. The BHG has jurisdiction throughout the UK, they haveuniversal rights of detainment and interrogation and may hold an individual for up to 48 hourswithout charge. Only British citizens have a right to trial and even legitimate visitors can havetheir travel papers truncated without criminal cause. All psion visitors to Britain have to carrytracking devices with a 60 day time limit. Not only do the BHG track where they are at alltimes but if a psion over stays their welcome they will be located and taken in for questioning.

The Integrated Intelligence Service The Integrated Intelligence Service is the 22 nd Century’s answer to the legendary MI-6 and itssister agencies. The I.I.S. performs the same roles as most other national intelligenceagencies: gathering data on other countries that those nations like to keep secret. TheService is split into two divisions: Analysis sifts through collected data performing tacticalanalysis, looking for trends and clues and works to provide forward strategic planning whilethe Field division is responsible for the classic “spy” operations: deep cover operations to digup information.

The I.I.S. is headed up by the enigma known only as “C”, or “Control”. “C” was the initial of thevery first MI6 commander, and it’s been his title ever since. It’s not like Great Britain to wastea perfectly good tradition so the practice was retained in the I.I.S. Since the amalgamation ofthe intelligence services “C” has been a complete cipher, interacting with others solely viacomputer agent, his or her true identity perhaps only known by the Field Director and Analysis

Section Heads. Much speculation exists as to who, or what, “C” may be. Some even theorisethat “C” may not be a person at all but rather a complex SI program left over from theDirective.

The Analysis Division of I.I.S. is split into twelve Sections, each charged with monitoring andanalysing data for a particular geographical area. Each Section identified by a letter of thealphabet and historically the earlier in the alphabet the letter the higher profile and moreimportant the Section allowing it a greater level of funding, larger staff and better access tonon-I.I.S. resources. Every Section is run by a Section Head who answers directly to “C”.




The current Analysis Sections are:

A – British Isles and its territories (inc. Camelot)B – Western EuropeC – Central and Eastern Europe

D – North America and CanadaE – AsiaF – Central and SudamericaG – AfricaH – LunaI – Solar SystemJ – AustralasiaK – Oceania and the PolesL – Extra Solar

In contrast to the Analysis Division the Field Division is organised into Teams, each with aspecific focus or area of operations. All Teams answer to the single Field Director, a postcurrently held by Sir Milliard “Mills” Coleman. The number of teams varies according to the

current requirements of the I.I.S. and new teams can be raised or dissolved as required.Thus Teams vary greatly in size dependant on purpose and current political climate, from theelite Excalibur unit with its minimalist support and field personnel to Wellington’s multiplePlatoons of troops and logistics staff. Outside observers often think that the term “team”refers to a single operation squad but this is an intentional misnomer. Teams can consist ofhundreds of individuals, organised in designated “Units” (the I.I.S. term for a squad or missionteam).

As of 2120 the known teams in operation are:

Team 1, Codename: Excalibur – Wetwork/black ops specialists Team 2, Codename: Pendragon – Anti-sedition unit Team 3, Codename: Windsor - Security specialists Team 4, Codename: Lionheart – Psions and Noetic phenomena Team 5, Codename: Nelson - Space specialists based on Luna Team 6, Codename: Churchill – Political espionage experts Team 7, Codename: Wellington – Tactical support

In practice a single Team may be involved in operations spanning a number of AnalysisSections and this can sometimes lead to infighting over resources. However the fact thatField Division Agents get regular exposure to a wide variety of environments and situationsbut are supported up by analysis from regional specialists any minor squabbling betweenSections is seen as an acceptable price to pay.

Recruitment

Generally speaking the I.I.S. recruits new agents and analysts from four separate routes.The AlumniHistorically the British Secret Service has had a tradition of recruiting the brightest and bestand this holds true in the 22 nd century. All British colleges and universities, including theOxford Campus in Camelot are monitored for potential recruits. Often such recruits will beplaced in the Analysis Division, at least initially but there are always those individuals whodemonstrate an obvious flair for field work.

Poachers turned Gamekeepers The I.I.S. as a whole is a practical beast and the Government are not shy to make use of aready resource when it is presented to them. In this case the resource in question are thosecriminals, enemy agents, military deserters, terrorists or insurrectionists who, possibly after

lengthy interrogation or imprisonment, are willing to exchange their loyalties and work for theService. The knowledge and skills that these ex-enemies of the state posses can beinvaluable to the I.I.S and such individuals often exchange employment with the I.I.S. for a




Page 17 of 60

reduced prison term or, in some rare cases, protection from prosecution. Agents recruited inthis way are constantly under surveillance, often by close colleagues in the I.I.S. and areregularly interviewed and “assessed” for any possible return to their old ways or allegiances.

Up through the ranks Service in a branch of the British Home Guard or Royal Space Navy can make for a good

foundation for service in the I.I.S. Individuals from branches of the military who show a desireto join the Service, or those that the I.I.S. are actively trying to recruit are usually offeredpositions in the BHG units attached to Field Division Team: Wellington, providing tacticalsupport to I.I.S. operations. There they are monitored and tested to see whether they doindeed have the temperament and aptitude for work within the I.I.S. proper.

Monsters to catch monstersWhile the British government tends to avoid the use of psions they recognise the abilities andusefulness of such individuals. Therefore the I.I.S. will actively try to recruit as manysympathetic psions as possible. To this end recruiters actively seek British citizens who havebeen through the Prometheus Effect, watching them for some time and performingbackground checks on them to identify their suitability for recruitment (and also the likelihoodthat they may be used as agents against Britain by a foreign power or organisation). Such

efforts are particularly focused on members of the 6th

Legion stationed in their regional basein London and ISRAns who may have their homes in or near Camelot. Recruitment posters,leaflets and even obvious recruitment officers are common sites in such “target” areas.

The British Stellar Authority The British Stellar Authority or BSA was founded in the early 2030’s to take responsibility forBritain’s presence in space, replacing the British National Space Centre. While the BNSCclaimed credit for the UK Space industry it had little control over budgets or partnerships,devoting most of its funds to the European Space Agency. This changed with the inception ofthe BSA, whose first major project was the development and foundation of the Camelot baseon Luna in 2039.

Since then the Authority has taken responsibility for both civil developments in space (such asthe continued maintenance and management of Camelot) and the fleet of British spacevessels. Should the proposed “London Bridge” beanstalk go ahead it will be the BSA whooversee its production, protection and control.

The British space fleet is divided into two service arms; the Merchant Space Navy withresponsibility for transporting cargo and passengers and the Royal Space Navy withresponsibility to protect British interests at home and abroad, through the exercise of militaryeffect and diplomatic activities. Military vessels are supported by Marine complementssupplied by specialised divisions of the British Home Guard.

Above: The British Merchant Space Navy Ensign The Royal Space Navy Ensign Note that the design of the flags shows the BSA’s assumed responsibility for (from top L to bottom R) the UK, Luna (particularly Camelot), Earth as a whole and then the rest of the solar system and the colonies. Many consider that the Authority places their priorities very much in that order.

The Merchant Space Navy operates a variety of vessels from Bakuhatsu GPT-03s to L-BComets and MELs. The flagship of the Royal Space Navy is the impressive L-B Novastormcruiser; HMSS Victorious which is supported by a fleet of smaller vessels including abackbone of OE Ltd Pathfinder Patrol ships and Britain’s own I-45 “Lancelot” fighters.




Enemies of the state Corporal Morris Ngu carefully placed one armoured foot onto the floor of thederelict building. He swung his carbine round the frame of a door and peered in.Almost immediately the visual sensors located at the side of his combat helmetdetected poor light and a digitally enhanced image of the building popped up on

to his eyepiece. Switching between various visual options he could clearly makeout the striking image of an adult and a child hiding in a room upstairs. Hefocussed on the graphics and allowed the imaging software to analyse thereadings from the two subjects. The two targets were female, the eldest probablyaround 30 years of age. No obvious signs of weaponry. Carefully Morris made hisway upstairs keeping his carbine in front of him. He burst into the room wherethe two were hiding and smashed open the wardrobe door that they had takenrefuge in. The woman and the girl shrieked out in fear and began to chattermanically to each other. They held each other tightly and began to cry aloud.Morris’ vocoder quickly translated the French words that were being spoken.These two were saying goodbye to each other. A few months ago, Morris mightvery well have considered letting the pair of them go but after his best friend hadbeen caught doing that very same thing, well, Morris had his own family to thinkabout now didn’t he? Who would look after them if he was disappeared? Morristook in a deep breath.Suddenly his comm squawked into life; "Are you done in there trooper?""Yes sir, ...terrorist...cell located, sir""Confirm targets neutralised."Morris paused; his eyes met those of the woman. She was shielding the girl'sface."Repeat: Confirm targets neutralised."He could see the tears on her cheek."Confirm status Trooper Ngu, do you require assistance?""No sir." He paused, her eyes never left his and he thought he saw a spark of hope start to glimmer behind them.

“Pardonnez-moi” he whispered as he raised the carbine to his shoulder and gentlysqueezed the trigger. The carbine gratefully whirled into life.

National adversariesWhile still a vocal member of the United Nations Britain maintains a polite but coolrelationship with most other nations. Their only true “allies” on the international stage areNippon and the FSA, however no one is under any misapprehension that these are nothingmore than economic relationships. If the other party has nothing to gain they will be rushingto lend aid or support.There are a good number of countries that United Kingdom consider hostile, or at least worthyof close monitoring. The main focus being on their continental neighbours: in particularlyFrance, Poland, the Germanic states and the Ukraine. The British Government remains

convinced that the damaged and economically barren European continent looks upon theUnited Kingdom with greedy eyes and is paranoid in its attempts to protect its borders andkeep tabs on its old allies.Second to the European countries in Britain’s list of hostile nations are the Sudamericannations of Argentina and Ecuador. When the Argentinean forces invaded the Falkland Islandsin 2115 Britain was in no position to retaliate and the fact stung the government to the core.The continued occupancy is a major thorn in the side of the current administration and is anissue that will come to the fore, quite possibly just before the General Election due in 2122.Ecuador has fallen under scrutiny by the British due to their emerging plans to build a rival“space bridge”. Activity on this front is under close surveillance by I.I.S. operatives withspeculation that sabotage plans are being readied if progress outstrips the work being doneon the London Bridge project.

PsionsDue to the fact that all Psi orders are based outside Britain and therefore all psions have beeninfluenced by, or are employed by a foreign power, the British Government considers allindividuals with psionic powers to be potential security risks. The British Home Guard keepslists of known psions and regularly performs surveillance on them, their activities and knownassociates. All Psions in the United Kingdom, even British nationals, can expect to bestopped and searched or even taken in for questioning on a regular basis.The British people, as whole, see the usefulness of psions, as very few could doubt thecontributions that they have made to the defence of humanity and to progress in technologicaladvancement, medical care and many other aspects of everyday life. However they would farrather that all that was done outside of Britain. There is still nagging fears amongst everydaypeople that psions are just going to become the “new aberrants” and end up fighting againstthe poor old Joe Hologram. The government in turn does little to allay these fears.

Psions are a part of 22 nd century life though and cannot be avoided. Four of the PSI ordershave particular relevance to British life:

Æsculapians While some Æsculapian staff work within the United Kingdom the most common view of theDocs are those selfless souls who work in the French wasteland. Most British people havenothing but respect and admiration for such individuals and give readily to such supportcharities, as long as the problem remains on the other side of the English Channel. Theother, frequently parodied and ridiculed view of an Æsculapian is of a meddling busy bodywho wants to tell Britain how to run the country and how more immigrants should be let in ormore investigations made into finding a cure for the French Flu. Such individuals are treatedderided and insulted in person and via the local British media.

ISRAThe clairsentients are the order that the United Kingdom possibly tolerates the best. Arguablythis is due to the close relationship enjoyed by ISRA and the Oxford campus on Luna and asa result a large proportion of British latents are triggered as Clairsentients. That said back

down on Earth the ways of the “moonies” are often considered to be somewhat eccentric andopen to ridicule and the idea of a “peeping Tom” psion watching you from afar is a verypresent stereotype back in Great Britain. The portrayal of the evil Clear voyeur, watchingtheir victims from afar was most recently highlighted in the popular 2119 crime drama “ The Watcher ”. Many notable ISRAns protested against the negative portrayal a Clairsentient inthe series but no legal action was taken to stop the broadcast of the show and no complaintswere upheld.

NorçaThe Norça have a strange relationship with the United Kingdom. To the man in the streetthey are frightening Brazilian agents who could replace your friends and family with evilduplicates and you would never know, but to the top levels of the British Government they arethe source of the French Flu and thus both a necessary evil and potential “partner in crime”.

The government doesn’t trust the Order and many in the Government have voiced regret overthe arrangement. Yet again it is another secret that the authorities have managed to keephidden from the general population, for now.

6 th Legion Much like the Æsculapian Order the Legions enjoy a certain amount of popular support fromtheir record of working for the protection of humanity, likewise the British people would ratherthey didn’t do it in their back yard. Individuals with psychic powers can be disturbing enoughto the average Brit without giving those “super-men” guns, armour, tanks and combat aircraft.Thus while the 6th Legion maintains a base in London members of the Legion are restrictedto carrying non-lethal weaponry outside of the walls of their compound. In the case of anAberrant attack on British soil the protocol, as written, is that if the 6 th Legion engage themenace first they will do so only with non-lethal weapons (i.e. tasers, webbers and sonics)

until such time as the BHG can arrive to support them. This has yet to be put to the test andthere are many who believe that should such an attack ever occur on British soil the Legion




will break out the heavy guns straight away and sort out the legal and social fallout after thedust settles.

Aberrants in the UKSince the return of the Aberrants in 2104 Britain has been fortunate enough to have escapedthe brunt of attacks. Although lacking a significant number of Psions the obvious militarypresence of the Home Guard has led to any attacking Aberrants choosing the easier targetson continental Europe. That has not lessened the BHG’s alertness as units will regularlysweep urban areas on the lookout for Aberrant sympathisers. The fact that these patrols takeplace in areas predominantly occupied by immigrants and foreign nationals and that to datethe majority of “Aberrant Cultists” arrested have been applicants for permanent citizenshiphas not gone unnoticed by the international media.

Some analysts speculate that the British military is less of a factor than the fact that all theAberrants could gain from an attack would be “Beer, sheep and rain”. That said rumourspersist of Aberrants living in the remote highlands of Scotland with occasional tabloidheadlines screaming of “Aberrant “Nessie” spotted in Loch”. Some conspiracy theorists haveeven aired a suspicion that the lack of attacks, coupled with such occasional “sightings” are

connected and that perhaps the Government has their own Aberrant allies.To date the most reliable rumour of an Aberrant has come from London itself. There aremany who believe that a mist like creature stalks the banks of the Thames, occasionallyassaulting passersby or those unfortunate souls who eke out a meagre living salvaging fromthe waste outlet pipes and floating debris. Some believe the creature only attacks to punishits victims for some perceived slight or crime whilst many believe that the “London Fog” is afar more mundane psychopath or just simply the figment of overactive imaginations.

The New Christian KnightsWhile Orthodox Catholicism, based on the Isle of Man, is a recognised and legal religion, onlythe naïve believe it to be separate from the New Christian Knights. The NCK is a terroristorganisation that has been very active against its enemies (which include the Norça, the ÆonTrinity, the Ministry, the Vatican, Xigaze Buddhists, the followers of Qindo and MorningWesterly Exuberance).

Most of these organisations consider the NCK to be an irritant, since they’re poorly organisedand too extreme to even ally with other terrorists. However I.I.S. intelligence points to heavyfinancial backing and their resistance to discovery, even by telepathic agents, indicates thatthere is more to them than meets the eye. Some Norça investigating the NCK have evensuggested that its members had formed a front organisation for Chitra Bhanu survivors. Intruth no one yet knows where the NCK is getting its money or how it’s hiding from telepathsand clairsentients. Tentative connections have been made between them and theFirewalkers (another Christian terrorist group operation in continental Europe) but to datenothing has been proved.

Dragon’s TailThe Chinese Ministry of Psionic Affairs has long kept covert agents stationed in the UnitedKingdom but recent events have led them to launch their most ambitious covert operation onBritish soil, to date. Code-named “Dragon’s Tail”, it is designed to prevent the Beanstalk frombeing built and as yet the I.I.S. is unaware of the details but movement in the espionagecommunity indicates that the Chinese are up to “something”. The British are prepared to playa waiting game while they attempt to gain more details while the Ministry has started to movepieces into play, tapping moles within the British Government for information and slowlybringing members of an elite psion team, the Iron Dragons, into the UK.

I.I.S. Character CreationNew Player Characters follow the standard creation process as outlined in the main Trinityrulebook and Players Guide with the following additions and alterations:

All characters must be of British nationality (which includes those born in British Sovereignholdings in space i.e. Camelot on Luna).

As I.I.S. agents are expected to be resourceful and creative the British authorities try to recruitunique talents with a wide spectrum of experience. Therefore characters may come from veryvaried walks of life and such characters may have been “cross triggered” (in other words theymay have a Psionic aptitude other than the one normally associated with an Order theypreviously belonged to). However due to the Norças practice of “keeping” all those Psionsthey create no I.I.S. character may begin with the Biokinesis Aptitude. Characters may stillhave Auxiliary Biokinesis modes. Due to the insular nature of the respective orders Telepathyand Teleportation Aptitudes are only permitted with Storyteller approval.

While the setting is intended for Psions players may create a Neutral character with their

Storyteller’s permission.Ability groups must be chosen from the restricted list (see below). Multiple groupmemberships are not permitted.

All characters must follow the following rules:• "No Man is an island": Each character must have at least two points spent in any

combination of Allies , Contacts or Status .• "You're in the army now, son.": Due to the set up at the start of the campaign each

character must have at least one point of Status in the I.I.S or Home Guard• "We need guns, lots of guns…" : A character may have multiple instances of the following

Backgrounds: Clearance (with different organisations), Devices , Identity , Mentor ,Requisition (with different organisations) and Status (with different organisations)

• “The last suit you’ll ever wear” : Due to their Agency membership all characters begin playwith Cipher and Resources but must pay full price for any further increase (e.g.Cipher would cost 5 Background points) and experience costs for the Abilitieslisted in the I.I.S. Field Division Ability Group are reduced to x3 Current rating rather thanx4.

• “A double O agent.”: Each character must take a 6 point Merit of Law Enforcementpowers reflecting their “License to kill”.

• The Nihonjin connection : Due to the United Kingdom’s connections with Nipponcharacters may have access to cutting edge “hard” technology. In character generationthis is reflected in a number of ways:

o Bonus point costs for Devices and Requisition Backgrounds are HALVEDo Characters may freely purchase one-dot Cyberware from Asia Ascendant with

either the Devices background or Resources o Characters may freely learn VARG ability by spending Bonus points without

having to provide further explanation or a reason from their back story

Psion Characters generate their characters as per the rules presented in the Main Rulebookwith the following additional rules:• “No son of mine” : As the characters can no longer claim membership of their previous

Orders they follow the Freelance Psion rules for Aptitude experience costs from page 102of The Trinity Players Guide . Also any Ability Groups marked * below are subject to therules concerning social skills.

• “Pi$$-on ”: Each character must take a 3 point Flaw of Provisional Member, reflecting thefact that Psions are not trusted within the British hierarchy. This DOES count towards themaximum of seven points of Flaws that a character may have.

Neutral Characters generate their characters as per the rules presented for “heroic” neutralsin the Trinity Players Guide. Characters may be given the Psi Sink merit (paid for with Bonus




Page 23 of 60

points as normal) and such individuals are highly prized and sought after by the I.I.S.Characters may also be created as Latents however it is highly unlikely that such individualswill ever be permitted to have their psi potential triggered whilst still in the employ of the I.I.S.It should be noted that Neutral agents attached to units containing Psions will often bedesignated as the psion’s handlers and considered superior to them, regardless of other rankor experience.

Ability Groups and Backgrounds:

The LegionsThe Psychokinetic Psion Order, often viewed as Earth’s first line of defence against theAberrant threat. Currently divided into seven “Legions” of which the suitable options forTrinity: I.I.S Player Characters are as follows;

• The Second – “Fortune’s Knights” – The mercenary Legion. In reality the 2 nd consistsof a number of mercenary companies, each of which operates independently of theothers but all obtain their contracts via the central Legion organisation. They arepotentially a public relations nightmare waiting to happen, but the revenue they

generate for the Order as a whole cannot be ignored. While no longer a member ofthe 2 nd it is possible that an individual with mercenary tendencies could find that theprospect of serving the UK government suits their temperament better, at least in theshort term.

• The Third – “Support Force One” – Consisting of neutral and non-psychokineticlegionnaires, members of the third Legion handle the logistics and support duties forall six other legions. As such they are attached to other Legion units and serve in allpossible theatres of battle. As the 3 rd is the designated Legion for all non-Psychokinetic Psions this can lead some individuals to resent their posting. Whilethey may see as much front line conflict as any other Legion (in some cases farmore) the fact that they are not part of a “proper” Legion can cause somelegionnaires to move to pastures new

• The Sixth – Europe – The Legion charged with the defence of the European nationsis up against it. Not only do they face the problems of a bombed out, radioactivewasteland and Aberrant breeding ground covering most of what was once France,the expansionist aspirations of Ukraine, the social degradation of the Nordic states,the isolationism of the United Kingdom, a divided Germany and a constant battle formanpower and resources, but they also have to deal with the internal strife causedby the recent loss of their commanding officer and his replacement being a young,inexperienced (although psychically gifted) civilian, with no military background. Thishas caused a great deal of dissention and disquiet, leading a number of seasonedand experienced Legionnaires to seek postings elsewhere, in some cases returningto their home nations, such as the UK.

Other Orders

Perhaps due to national pride, the lure of good money, or their own personal reasons it is notunheard of for members of other psion orders to be recruited into Special Operations. As amatter of policy members or ex-members of The Chinese Ministry for Psionic Affairs and theNorça will not be recruited. The UK Government feel that the psions from these orders maystill owe greater loyalty to their old Order than to their nation and so will “do without” ratherthan running the risk of recruiting and enemy agent into their midst. Ex-ISRAns andÆsculapians are generally better received, due to the more relaxed organisation, thecomparative close proximity of the Camelot station to the ISRAn presence on Luna and theapparently benign motives of both organisations.

Upon the return of the Teleporters to human space the government, like all other significantpowers, will be clamouring to recruit any British nationals who are disaffected with the UpeoWa Macho, of which there are likely to be some.




British MilitaryUpon the advent of military space combat, as far back as the first Aberrant war, the BritishArmy recognised the necessity of a specialised marine force equipped and trained for intraand extra solar conflict. While both the Royal Marine Commandos and Parachute Infantryheld arguably valid claims to the role it was felt that a unique unit should be created.Volunteers were recruited from the Marines, Paras and other regular infantry units, togetherforming the Royal Space Regiment (Commando). These men and women are a key strikeforce for the British Armed Forces, wherever the United Kingdom’s interests are involved,whether on Earth, in space, on a station or a deep space colony, the “Space commandos” areready to go at a moment’s notice. Of course members of such an experienced and elite unitare prime candidates for selection to Special Operations.

The day to day home land security of the British Isles is handled by the Home Guard. Acombined police and military service they are charged with the defence of the UnitedKingdom’s borders from threats within and without. They are the brawn that enforces thegovernment’s will and their loyalty to the crown is considered to be without question.

Espionage and counter-espionageWith the return of the Aberrants, emergence of Psions and the radically changing face ofEurope within the last ten years, the British Government took steps to reorganize itsintelligence gathering operations, along with the security services, to create a single,monolithic organisation. The Integrated Intelligence Service (I.I.S.), as the new unit wasnamed, is the amalgamation of all the historic M.I. divisions, the Serious Organised CrimeAgency, the Joint Intelligence Committee, Counter Terrorist Command and Special Branch.The field agents of the I.I.S. are the spooks, the spies of fiction and tales of intrigue. In theircase, dealing with threats to the Crown which may include psychic powers, aliens and superpowered mutants, the truth can often be far stranger than the fiction.

Campaign flavour:The predominate theme and tone of the setting is that of an espionage thriller style game,very much in the mood of an action movie or TV serial rather than an attempt at imitating reallife spies.

As mentioned above the concept is a British Military/Military Intelligence unit. In the Trinitybackground Britain is one of the most totalitarian and authoritarian states and therefore thegeneral outside view of the team will essentially be that they are the “bad guys”. The thing is,that won’t be their own perception – they are protecting their nation from outside threats (realor perceived) - but as more is learnt about the truth of events some of the team may changetheir opinions which could lead to division in the team and possibly one or more operativesgoing “rogue”. At the very least it should provide for good role-play opportunities and stories,especially if one or more team members remain loyal to the government.

For source material think Mission Impossible , Spooks (MI:5) , 24 , James Bond , Man from U.N.C.L.E , and the Bourne series.

Adventure seeds and rumours: Great Britain, at this point (2119 onward) has significant ties with Nippon and through that linkis able to get hold of some really kick-@$$ technology (allowing them to try to build the“London Bridge” beanstalk to low Earth orbit) including V.A.R.Gs 1 (not as good as the * real *Nipponese ones or bio-V.A.R.G.s but better than America and the rest of Europe). It shouldalso be noted that Britain has one of the few L-B Novastorm IACs (Intra system assaultcruiser) space ships; HMSS Victorious , the largest class of combat spaceship currently in usein Human space.

Why would a comparatively small nation like Britain have such a huge space investment,without any notable stellar colonies or holdings to protect? Shattered Europe providesdetails of a number of grey to black operations projects that Prime Minister Basil Gathwickand the British government have on Earth but what could they be up to in space? Thatquestion forms the basis for one of the main thrusts of the campaign.

1 Great Britain doesn’t have a large force of V.A.R.G.s (and even less bio-V.A.R.G.s due to their general anti-psionstance). Therefore any players using V.A.R.Gs will be both high profile but also under high scrutiny.




Page 27 of 60

As at 2120 there are only ten Novastorms in existence and the rest are owned by the “bigplayers” (China owns four, UAN and Nippon own two each and the FSA and Britain have oneapiece). It’s a HUGE investment in resources (probably billions of Yuan) and manpower topurchase, outfit and maintain, even before you include the fighter complement. When the onlystellar holding of any significance you have is Camelot what are you going to do? Just orbitthe moon above it “lookin’ ‘ard”? With Britain presented as insular and isolationist I very muchdoubt that they’d spend that much money patrolling space “for the benefit of mankind”. Pluswhy buy a ship like that when the same money could pay for a small fleet of frigates or many,many planetary naval vessels to protect their borders? One cruiser of that size is a huge andintimidating emblem of power, in addition it is versatile – the ship itself can see off most otherhuman space vessels or can launch an orbital bombardment whilst the fighters can engageother ships or space targets. They are also most likely hybrid craft so they can enter theatmosphere to attack planetary targets, deliver troops or support ground forces.

Add to this the fact that the only military vehicle of British manufacture previously mentionedis the “Hedgehog”, a mobile missile launcher (see; Hidden Agendas ). Why is this interesting?The point is made that since the first Aberrant War military weapons and vehicles have beendesigned to take down single, powerful targets. This is a time of small unit combat, sometimeswith powered individuals, sometimes in powered armour (sometimes both) with a handful ofindividuals fighting battles that determine the fate of nations or even worlds (see; Trinity Rulebook page 85).

Why then would a nation such as Britain want to make a multi-missile launcher, the onlypurpose of which is to fire a lot of missiles, spreading death and destruction over a large area,rather than at specific targets? Do they fear invasion to the point of being prepared to inflicthuge collateral damage on their own nation, or are they planning to get a pre-emptive strikein? If so, who do they plan to attack? It is unlikely that they would be looking to go to wardirectly with a nation on Earth as their targets either lack the resources to make an assaultworthwhile (e.g. France) or are too powerful to engage in a direct conflict (e.g. UAN, FSA,China). This leaves either intra or extra solar colonies or holdings, and if Great Britain has noaccess to jump capability (as of 2119 the Upeo Wa Macho still missing and the UN and Æonare hardly likely to loan them a Leviathan jump ship for an invasion attempt 2) that would cut

2 Of course Great Britain may try subterfuge to obtain access to a jump ship, or they may offer to run a recontact orexploratory mission to found a new colony, but if they are not anticipating armed resistance the question remains as




things down to targets within the Solar System. The UK will probably want to avoid theholdings of the major powers (e.g. Mars), for fear of retribution, and they would need someform of defence from, or manner of dealing with, the 7 th Legion. Alternatively they may seek tofabricate a reason for the attack (Aberrant incursion, Psion conspiracy (i.e. Huang-Marr ), anattack on British holdings).

The use of the London Bridge project should also be considered; if completed this beanstalkwould provide direct and swift access to Low Earth Orbit, allowing swift transport of suppliesand personnel to waiting ships 3. Therefore it might be easy to envisage the UK attacking aplanet or colony within the next few years of the time line. But why? Just for materialresources or are there other motivating factors at play?

The idea of Britain aiming to become an expansionist power again, forging a new BritishEmpire in the stars, could well be a case of history repeating itself but perhaps factions withinthe British Government feel they have to do it to protect the nation, something, an individualor humanity as a whole.

According to Aberrant: The Directive Britain’s trend towards isolationism began in the late1990s. Could it be that they are acting like this to protect something very secret and important

to humanity as a whole? Almost martyr-like they distance themselves from other nations toensure that they are not also put at risk. The UK is one of the nations that founded "TheDirective" during the Aberrant era. Perhaps something that was discovered then is themotivating force for Great Britain's actions in the Trinity era.

Although most of the data concerning the Aberrant era was "lost" or "reconstructed" by theÆon Trinity in Project: Rewrite if anyone outside of the Trinity holds some of the truth ofevents there’s a good chance it'd be a top secret espionage agency, or the member nationagencies that worked with or evolved from it. Secrets are, after all, their stock in trade.

One theory is that UK Agents found or worked along side an entity codenamed “Britannia”(after the Roman Goddess often used as a personification of the UK), and her influence is sooverwhelming, they feel driven to begin a new glorious empire. If she exists Britannia may bea powerful Aberrant (perhaps an ex-Directive agent Nova from the early 21st century) whowent into hiding during the Aberrant War and has been trying to manipulate the BritishGovernment ever since. She has fostered their isolationism to prevent her manipulationsfrom being revealed. Britannia’s motives might be good but she may no longer be quite assane as she once was so her methods and ethics may be somewhat skewed. There may behope for her redemption yet, but left unchecked she could be extremely dangerous.

Others suspect that “Britannia” could be a powerful ex-ISRAn Clairsentient, a waif like womanliving in luxury at the top of one of the tallest towers in the London Archology. She providesprophecy for the government but is essentially a prisoner kept under house arrest. It may bea gilded cage but it’s a cage none the less.

A further alternative suggestion is that “Britannia” is a document containing a detailedprophecy (akin to the “ Destiny Diaries ” in Marvel’s X-Men comics) or perhaps a “100 yearplan” written by a mega-intelligent Nova. The document was given to Britain (via the Directive)during the Aberrant War and the events it details will soon come to fruition.

to why they would invest in a Novastorm. The other possibility is that they have access to a Nova with the ability tocreate Warps or a renegade Teleporter.3 Some may question the security of a beanstalk; wouldn’t it make an easy target for an attacker? That might be trueat first glance but the fact is that no human party wants another Esperanza disaster and a falling bridge could be asbad if not worse, that risk alone serves as a potent defence against attack. Of course Aberrants or hostile aliens maynot be so discriminate.

Possible scenario ideas:

The PackageThe team are sent to Lisbon to recover a package which has been stolen from a British agent.Unbeknownst to the team the item contains details and samples of the French Flu, clearly

showing that it was manufactured and implicating both the British and Norça. The item hadbeen up for sale at an underground auction but had been won by the I.I.S. agent on thescene. However before she was able to return to Britain she was killed and the packagestolen. The package has been stolen by a cell of Norça agents (who are aware of its natureand want to cover things up) but the players are initially unaware of their identity until theyconfront them. Added to this agents of other foreign powers (possibly the FSA, China orUkraine) are aware of the increased activity and want to get hold of the package for their ownends, even though they may be unaware of its nature. Once the (heavily armed and wellequipped) Lisbon police get involved the mission may dissolve into a chase to the border withwhoever currently holds the package being pursued by a number of agents from foreignpowers and the Portuguese authorities.
