-FACTION BIOS
The Germano dutch corporate commonwealth is a megacorp, consisting of a multitude of german and dutch companies some prominent ones being, shell, Philips, jansen&jansen, rheinmetal, A.G. farben and a revived A.G. weser and the leading company formerly known as thysenkrupp but now having reasserted itself back into its aristocratic roots as Kruppstahlwerke.
The company was known for many things, its aggressive expansion over Germany after the third world war, it conquering the European naval market through its buying out of many of germanies shipyards, the savior of the german job market through creating well-paying and insured jobs in nearly all sectors and strangely enough as one of the most charitable countries on the planet.
Being a, by now ancient company it existed through three world wars being a major economic player in all three of them, its focus lying in military arms, railways, steel and elevators, in addition to this krupp has always had a stake in naval production making it one of its primary income sectors after successfully acquiring the city of Kiel
The companies charitable nature comes from an odd tradition that the owner of krupp created in 2020, it being that there is only one truly acknowledged face of krupp, that being the CEO that was the most charitable and beneficial to the human race, this lead to CEO’s always racing against their predecessors to achieve this, them all being family ofcourse led to this charitableness being instilled from birth. Examples being the African expeditions to provide “krupp qualität” by providing jobs, supporting stable (krupp supporting) governments and arresting warlords by the newer krupp leaders, or the taking reviving of the financially unstable ruhr area after a collapse of german heavy industry caused by large scale outsourcing to asia by the use of krupp’s family fortune and a clever use of nationalistic spirit.
And now after krupp’s acquirement of royal shell combined with its ownership of the energy weapons magnate that is rheinmetall their new objective is in site, the avenite harvest and the creation of positive living enviroments for humans on these new planets.

Germany and the netherlands

6: Venture Command Staff: The staff of your mission.
-0: Your CEO: Heinrici von krupp (82). A charitable and elderly man, coming at the end of his time he wants a great act to signify the end of his reign, considering that after Friedrich von krupp’s takeover of Rheinmetal and second wave takeover of the port cities leading to a massive boost in PR in those cities no other CEO of krupp has ever been truly acknowledged he desires for his name to be known, and he knows that his African ventures alone won’t do it, he needs something bigger.
-1: Your Commander: Gunther Immelhof (43). Known as the CEO’s protégé, he is a resourceful man having headed the newest hover ship venture, a proponent of the new battleship movement he has led expeditions to war torn nations in Africa in the name of humanitarian support and economic expansion, and now he brings his ships to harvest his companies new venture, avenite. He is rather prideful of his relations with the CEO and hopes to one day deserve to be adopted into the family, although the fact that he is an admiral leads some to think he merely desires war but this is far from the truth, he knows the value of arms where needed but true power is the peoples support which runs parallel with economic prosperity.
ADMINISTRATOR
Peirre Duchamp
Age: 31
Appearance: 4'11, perpetually wears a suit and tie and platform shoes
A small man very sensitive about his height, Duchamp is a proud frenchman, and will frequently make remarks about how France bailed out half of Europe in the third world war. When it comes to work, however, he is usually careful to take the bottom dollar into account. He only cares about how much money can be made. If something is profitable, he'll do it, no questions asked, no questions answered. He's worked as the company's redevelopment and chief for Alsace-Lorraine for nearly 6 years.
SECURITY

Age: 42
Appearance: 6'9, muscular, mostly wears a tank top and camo pants, dark hair going to grey at the base.
The commander of all of the mission's security, Felix Adler is an Austrian with a mean streak. He pushes his men to be the best, and, frequently can be found near the frontlines, leading from his command and control station, wherever that may be. He cares for his men, but puts the mission first.

C;
-------KSO AIR WING
-------COMMANDER: CAPTAIN HERMAN WERNER
-21 years old
-Long brown hair tied into a ponytail, grey eyes, 6'1, scar on nose
The best young aviator out of the corporate conflicts in Saudi Arabia, Werner scored 100 on all his flight aptitude tests, and has made 40 confirmed air-to-air kills in the cockpit of an F-100 back home. He commands from the copilot seat of his own Mowe 18. He's painted the flag of the Saarbruchen Free State, where he hails from, on it's nose, and a pair of lightning bars on each side. The epitome of the bundeswher, he will viciously beat any man who calls him a 'nazi', which he did twice when stationed with french and american troops in Saudia Arabia.
D;
----------KSO NAVAL WING
-----------Commander: Captain Johannes Herstal
-54 years old
-head shaven in a military crew cut, incredibly muscular
"GET IT DONE" summarizes Captain Herstal, who's loud, bawling voice can always be heard across the deck of his battleship as he riles his men up with a pep talk or schools them on the dangers of their next foe. He's a consummate soldier, who loves blowing shit up, and his best friend in the KSO is Captain Koch, who he gets along with immensely well.
-4: Chief Engineer: Hernan Martinez
Age: 24
Appearance: 5'4, muscular, very good looking, olive skin, hispanic.
A former combat engineer in the 66th United States Combat Engineer Regiment, Martinez is young, but a natural choice. He and his men always manage to dig ditches and set up buildings as fast as possible. His men are also mostly Americans and Canadians, and have a very friendly relationship with the panzergrenadier force. His troops aren't soldiers however, despite Martinez's experience, and Martinez means to keep it that way. He's very proud of his boys and girls.
SCIENCE HEAD
Doctor Saeed Satrapy
Age: 30
Appearance: 5'6, middle eastern, glasses, curly hair, cleanshaven
An iranian by birth, Dr. Satrapy won the Nobel Prize at age twenty seven, for the invention of the Hydrophobic Hull. A man solely concerned with peace and the protection of life (and a devout Shiite) Satrapy initially envisioned the Hydrophobic Hull being used in humanitarian aid vessels and refugee ships that couldn't be hit by torpedoes or proximity mines. Imagine his chagrin when it was implemented into battleships and destroyers. He almost quit the Company right then, but when offered the chance to go on an extrasolar adventure, he signed on for his fifteen-year lease and hasn't looked back.
-MECHANICAL FOREMAN
Anja Chopin
Age: 29
Appearance: Blonde, buxom, brown eyes: typical polish look

She's Incredibly demanding though, and meticulous. She never shouts, but when she has a problem with something, you'll know it. She'll be waspishly buzzing in your ear until you deal with it, so pray you never have a problem. She's also very quick to dole out the punishments. In normal life, she is incredibly polite, but also very quick to point out people's faults.
-7: Commodore Hans Lars
Age: 56
Appearance: thin; wispy hair, huge cock bottle glasses, stern face, large nose.
A decorated Krupp Astronought, he's a man who began his work when he was twenty four on Gagarin Station and has commanded nearly every type of IST there is out there. Lars was a natural choice for the fleet.
WARFARE OVERSEER
David Lang
A Chinese-american man with six years experience as a major in the United Nations armed forces, David Lang is suspicious of all corporations, a deep-seated, family-instilled value. His dislike of corporations is only outmatched by his dogmatic, neo-colonialist belief that humankind is destined to rule the galaxy. He is fond of leading from the front, and has a long history of requisitioning corporate assets to pursue personal, if useful goals.

The M16 of the modern age, this is Krupp-made rifle is deployed mostly by non-ArmyMart affiliated entities (European and south American entities primarily) It’s noted for it’s accuracy and rate of fire, but also for it’s tempramentality, requiring careful maintenance. There is an optional underslung grenade launcher.
Deployed mostly by ArmyMart-affiliated entities (North American and Asian), this is an extremely modular system, with the base rifle being able to convert to carbine, sniper weapon or even pistol if stripped down far enough, capable of firing in almost any conditions. The only problems with this inexpensive, rugged, powerful and modular weapons system is that it has a slightly lower rate of fire and less reported accuracy than the HK-315
The Krupp-made MG-7 competes with the M-90 Smart Gun for leading machine gun on earth. It boasts a higher rate of fire, but sacrifices the Smart Gun’s accuracy.
ArmyMart’s M-90 Smart Gun is an auto-targeting weapon which sync’s to a pair of small HUD-goggles, and automatically tracks targets.
the standard service pistol for most noncombatants, firing a 6 mm bullet. Often called the “Daisy Popper”
The nonstandard service pistol for some noncombatants, particularly military and security, firing a 10 mm bullet. Far more intimidatingly called the “Rhino Buster.”
