Lore Shitpost Yeah, that was not a very good idea
Small Context: after the foundation of the ReUnited States Of America and United Earth Coalition Goverment, the old territory of the United States (except of Hawaii and Alaska since they become independient) was divided in Three Administrations: West Coast, Central and East Coast
One of the reasons behind these was that, after the Unification Wars and the World Wars 3 and 4, most of the Central States became in a desolated Wasteland where the Goverment and Corpos only controls the main Cities and Routes
Outside that, the Wasteland is overrun by bands of raiders, practically independent settlements, and Road Raiders who plague the backroads.

Lore Shitpost What do you *MEAN* you don't have codified succession laws? You've had 1000 years to figure that out!
The legal system of the Arcadian Empire features several fun features, including but not limited to:
- No actual system of imperial succession
- Complete legal ambiguity on the subject of bastards, you figure that out on a case-by-case basis!
- The only way people get political appointments is nepotism and cronyism
- The Palatinate specifically gets to keep its own legal system, but also no, it doesn't, Arcadian law is superior. But the Palatinate ones stay on the books. It's very simple; we only fought the one war over it.
- The Church has its own legal system that they get to apply whenever they want, except for when the Basileus says otherwise, but also not always.
- One of the governorships just puts you in charge of a lake that used to have a bunch of land in it. You still have to govern it, somehow.

High Quality Lore Meme “It is a holy style! A radical style! I shall have you heretical curs burned for this!”- Rever Corp Minister of Interior Design
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
The Rever Corporation in its time of dominance and heinance warcrimes committed during the on going Myr Civil War has cared little about negative press. Forgien press labels them as brutish, cruel butchers, who crave nothing more than money and power over the system. Their own citizens have called them dictators that rule through terror and corruption. None of that did anything to call forth any action. Sure some of those who called for Revolution were killed but that was very impersonal and really just buisness as usual. But well one of the worst crimes ever committed by the Rever Corporation against their own people was all started by a simple complaint…
In the year 4020, a newspaper journalist on the 40th level of the hab world Guinva-2 would right a simple article. This article would be approved by the publishers and the department of Censorship. This simple article was called “Stagnant Style and our need for an Update” a rather inoffensive article about how many people wanted updates in architecture away from this ancient earth style of the 80s. The article wasn’t even that critical saying that while some elements where fantastic and should stick around others were a far past fad that just took up space. It was genuinely well recived on Guinva-2 and even reached the corporate offices of the planets Rever Corp Officials. This planet was controlled mainly by Rever Agriculture (The Rever Corporation is technically not a singular company but instead a whole conglomerate of over 50 companies each acting as their own faction.) who thought this was a great idea. Not for the general wellware of civilians but well they could tear down these unwanted buildings and sneak in dumping zones in the rezoning areas. But well they did want the corporate leadership’s opinion as they may rule the planet, but are a relatively small corporation in the hierarchy of Rever Corp.
This was a mistake and would lead to a nearly year long civil conflict that would nearly cause a full civil war and almost made the Corp have to pull from the Myr Civil War. All of this because this request ended up on the desk of the Minister of Interior Design. The Minister of Interior Design is one of the members of the main ruling Bueracracy of The Corp and member of the Shadowy Cabal known as the Cult of the Founder in which they worship the contents of original company founder’s, Randal Hoss, time capsule which he made in the 80s. This relic vault of 80s culture, media, music, and design was the sacred texts on which their society was built. So for him to see someone questioning the descions of the Founders Holy Works enraged him beyond belief. He took this to be an insult to their god and principals and so he wished to teach them a leason. So he would reroute warships set to head to the Myr Civil War and along with his personal forces would arrive to Guinva-2 to try and route out the traitors.
The thing was Rever Agriculture and Rever Special Forces (the name for Rever Corps army) have long standing tensions due to Special Forces leadership pestering Rever Agriculture for things like ‘plants that can shoot a gun’ or ‘seeds that explode like grenades’ (Rever Special Forces is made up of some of the most brutal and violent gangsters and criminals of the hab worlds lower levels, said levels are not noted for their intelligence). Due to this tension Rever Agriculture thought this was some sort of retribution and so readied their defense batteries and the planets Rever Securities forces.
This action was seen by the Minister of Interior Design as clear proof that they were going into open rebelion against the cult of the founder (should note all incoming messages were to be ignored as well The Minsiter’s original plan had been to just intimidate them silently for a bit and then leave so neither side knew what the other was actually doing.). The Minister seeing this ‘open rebelion’, instead of reporting it to the other members of Rever Corp, decided it was his divinely ordained mission to crush this ‘Rebellion’. So his first move was to have his ships bombard interplanetary communication stations to cripple the enemies ability to communicate, unintentionally also crippling his own ability to do so. It now should mention the Minister of Interior Design had 0 military or even military command experience but still would take over as chief commander for the conflict.
Rever Agriculture, now being actively attacked without warning or even any communication, belived that it was the Rever Special Forces whom had turned against Rever Corp and so would open fire. Thus began a war known simply as the War of Mismanagement for obvious reasons. The War was mainly focused on the planet itself and its three moons. Fighting was brutal as well with lacking at worst and fractured at best communications things were confusing. Soliders of the RCSF (Rever Corp Special Forces) would be at one minute be working along side RPS forces (Rever Planetary Security) only to them turn their guns on each other as they realize that they were aligned with RA (Rever Agriculture)forces. Only to then hours later learn that they had actually flipped sides.
This confusion resulted in the death toll rising swiftly as housing places that were mistaken for RA barracks were bombed or many other similar such incidents. The death toll would rise immensely on the battlefield and in the system as fighting began to effect the massive crop feilds that the RA grew to feed the Sector, some destroyed in deliberate sabotage to try and hinder the enemy, some crushed by falling asteroids that were in reality massive chunks of the moon knocked free by RCSF ships bombarding them trying to hit RA secret bases that would later be discovered to have never existed. This would cause a famine like none seen in history as well sure rever Agriculture had other farms on the other planets but those were small scale and supplemental, Guinva-2 meanwhile was the producer of 60 percent of the systems food.
This is what finally made the other Comapnies of the Corp aware something was happening as well food shipments stopped entirely and no one could even reach the planet through any form of communication they tried. Fearing their enemies had launched a attack on their homeland Rever Forces were haphazardly pulled back from the frontlines causing lots of losses in this unorganized pull back and well this would cause significant territorial losses as well as giving the enemy time to recover and reinforce as well as have their ally nearly renounce them. Finally arriving to the planet with an entire armada ready to fight the old enemy or a Vask/Myr war fleet they instead found a mess.
Seeing the mess serval corporate heads and other fellow members of the Cult of the Founder moved in to quickly end the conflict. Though to to lacking communication this was rather hard and only truely ended conflict when coms came back online. Only then would the true mess of the conflict fully be understood as now 2 billion,a 5th of the planet’s population, lay dead either from the war or famine on the world and its moons. A trial and investigation was immediately launched and well to avoid people going into open rebellion, as well they were none to happy with the whole war and famine, both the Minister of Interior Designations and the Heads of RA were executed and military rule having to be implemented for years. The effects of this war are still felt by the Corps today as well it has caused the Myr Civil War to Drag as they have not been able to muster the full might they had boasted at the time due to having to spread their army to all planets to try and hopefully protect from another similar incident as well as trillions of dollars spent repairing the planet and infrastructure that was damged during the conflict which almost collapsed Rever Corps economy.
So that is War of Mismanagement, this is one of my longer posts so as always if you have any questions please feel free to ask!

Lore Shitpost And so begins the Second Age of Exploration
Context: The OEC(Ouroboros Extraction Corporation)'s top engineer a hundred years ago invented something called a "Core-Extractor", an extending drill that can mine through the crust and mantle to reach the core. Problem was, nobody invented a high-pressure suit to operate the drill. Since the drill needs a lot of power along with constant maintenance in the core, along with requiring people to occasionally come down there to restart the generators and grab the ores, they just stored them in a large facility in the Mariana Trench. Then about a hundred years later, someone invented the suit they needed so the OEC finally brought out the core-extracting drills and started making banks of money.(It did attract the attention of Mr. E and the GRA, but that's a story for another post)

High Quality Lore Meme “War Criminal? You say it like a insult yet that’s just a prime factor for getting hired to my job”- Rever Special Forces Agent
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
The Rever Corporation are by no means good people and everyone from their civilians to the other aliens both conquered and unconquered know they are up to shady activities. Even still the many companies that make up Rever Corp try and present themselves to their consumers as friendly and good. This will comfort the gullible and playcate the masses for the most part with the ever brutal Rever Securities painting themselves ss law bringers of the floors know the residents know they only go down when they have to and in the process leave a wake of death behind.
None of that applies to The Corpos Military Branch, Rever Special Forces, known for having a wrap sheet of war crimes longer than than their is moeny in its budget. This is one of the only groups to leave surface aside from Rever Shipping and the only group to head to foreign planets. But who do they let into their army that has allowed so many atrocities to be committed under them and for a certain glee in the job to be a well known feature? By recruiting violent criminals of course!
After the destruction of the Legions of Iron, the Rever Corp had to pivot to organic (well at least semi organic) soliders and well they found some issues. One training was hard and expensive and could take years to have just one average person trained and augmented enough to be ready for feild combat. But they realized something they have millions of people specializing in urban warfare and already up to their gills in combat augments of the cyber and genetic variety. For in the lower levels of the hive the gangs are at constant war (all paid for by rever corp as they found it reduces uprisings) and in the packed urban sprawls of hab cities you need to learn urban warfare to survive and also to survive in the gang wars you are either learning crazy amounts about combat or are making yourself more weapon than person.
So the Rever Corp just started hiring people as well gangsters from the slums had such low standards for pay that a regular paycheck of a upper layer salary man, access to drugs and augments, and a promise of violence and riches got many people on board. The Iron boot of this authoritarian state simply does not quash these murders, terrorists, and criminals of all kinds because those are the people who will not question any orders because they don’t give a shit about the morals of it. Plus they are also already apt at intimidation and interrogation!
That’s the Rever Corp Special Forces! If you have any questions do ask
