| CONSTANT WORK IN PROGRESS. Additional events/time frames will be posted, as well as adjustments or additional details regarding the UHC itself.
As a whole~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The United Human Coalition. (UHC). The United Human Coalition is a large organization, acting as a PMC/Private Military for a group of five Empires funding the organization. The UHC serves as the 'homefront force' of these Empires, having postings in various colonies and other remote areas in which the constantly warring Empires forces would be wasted. However, despite the lack of glamor in the official reports by the Empires, the UHC is - in reality - relied upon for much heavier tasks. Indeed, the Coalition has an entire private military in it's command, equipped with the most valuable and efficient gear possible due to the generous funding of Empires with too much wealth to spare. UH Marines are deployed along with Empire Forces in invasions, occupying and guarding major cities as the Empires' grunts roll over the land. Occasionally, the task of invading a planet for the purposes of establishing a hold falls upon the UHC entirely. UHC Soldiers are paid higher, trained harder, and often have prior military experience. Alongside full time soldiers, the military branch of the UHC includes Security Forces for protection, escorts, stabilizing conquered worlds/fledgling frontier worlds, aiding in the founding of colonies, etc. Security personnel are not put through the same rigorous training as the Marines, though the training they receive would be on par with Basic Training in our world, thus being more effective than local police. Security are often found within the core worlds of Empires. as well. providing heavier policing service in the event of (frequent) rebellions/Coups/Threats against the Empire in question. The Civilian Branch of the UHC are soldiers delegated to private contracting with civilians. The soldiers are among those who do not qualify to enter the Military branch, however, due to the strict training needed to qualify for service in the UHC itself, those in the Civilian branch are still well trained. These men and women are given jobs ranging from mansion and bank guards, to bodyguards/escorts for smaller time politicians. They tend to be heavily armed compared to other Security Firms and - combined with the funding and profit they receive from their funders and military operations allowing for lower demands of payment - quickly became the leading Security Firms, employed by large businesses or other sensitive ventures. The most least publicly known, as well as their smallest, branch of the UHC would be their research division, "Humanity's Singularity." Not bound by the inter-dimensional laws set up by the various empires funding them, H.S. researches and develops drugs and weaponry beyond the reach of authorities. The fact that the UHC primarily comprises said authorities certainly helps, and Humanity's Singularity is one of the leading employers in many research focused colonies. H.S. also supplies the military with various shock troops, in the form of unique/alien men and women willing enough not to be a threat, but too valuable to lose. the UHC, as it's name suggests, was founded by and is primarily staffed by Humans. The Universe (Things related to the UHC, based on events or factions within their original universe and dimension. Will be expanded into their own history at a later date.)
The UHC was originally created after the formation of an alliance between five large human centric Empires. These five empires were located in close proximity to eachother, and for a long while, had been at bitter near endless war. It devestated the galaxy they lived in, causing poverty to skyrocket across the board, many planets falling victim to the petty and ultimately fruitless wars that constantly happened (Despite multiple attempts at ceasefire and peace.) This left a large pool of people jobless, and with little prospects. Those who did not fell into a life as a wild man, or criminal, instead looked to military for employment. The Empires finally found a common enemy in the form of alien beings located in another galaxy. Upon first researching the means for inter-galatic travel, the Falcion Empire quickly began to scout neighboring Galaxies. After a brief period of (relative, compared to the century prior) record peace, due to a shift in focus to colonization, the Empires were each attacked by alien species that had seen them as threats intruding upon their territory. Because of a lack of common language, and biological social expression, diplomacy was nearly impossible, the smallest skirmish leading to a breakdown of what little progress any of the Empires could do on their own. The Five Empires formed an alliance after a decade of war with various Alien species. This new alliance agreed to begin a system of trade based upon the needs of each Empire. As such, a cooperative effort was established, businesses from each Empire now free to - and encouraged - to trade with cross-empire industries. After fifty years, a trust began to slowly form between the Empires - and various smaller, insignificant 'Empires' that encompassed small amounts of solar systems. Wounds were still being mended, but at the next diplomatic meeting regarding grievances, trade, and proposals, the plans for the UHC were drawn up. The Empires sought out a well established, effective, proven PMC to contract. Each empire invested one billion in revenue to transform this PMC - formerly AltruistSolutions - into a government backed force capable of holding their own against Aliens (by now referred to as 'Xenos', applying it to all non-humans.) After a few years of funding, AltruistSolutions formally became the United Human Coalition, and began it's first major operations establishing outposts on the Colonies established back during the first inter-galatic scout expeditions (Or, at least, what few colonies the Empires could hold.) With a marginally effective force now defending their colonies, Empire forces were able to be diverted into offensive campaigns and theaters of war that were locked in stalemate, or in which the Empire was losing. Thus, the war became less of one of survival, and forces began to push back the Xenos. The UHC continued to receive funding, whilst the founder began to take on contracts from the smaller empires circling the Main Five. With this new source of income, the UHC were able to grow faster, soon separating into three branches to suit various needs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ History in Felarya- FELARYA EXCURSION:
Felarya Excursion: 1977 AU - 1979 AU. The UHC is approached by the Klanoke Empire, the smallest Empire included in the coalition that primarily hires and funds the UHC itself, joining after the foundation of the Coalition itself. the Klanoke Empire employed the UHC to scout out new realms for possible mining colonies, one of which was Felarya. Following standard procedure, elements of Humanity's Singularity were deployed first as an expeditionary force, small teams and convoys deploying through the Ur-Sagol gates.
The HS Scouts proceeded to scout Felarya, deploying small drones to collect samples of minerals, using the data gathered to do a rough scan of the "planets" surface. Local information brought/acquired revealed the strange nature of Felarya. Firsthand Experience, alongside the information gathered, also revealed the Plane's habit of harboring massive beasts, Sapient and Sentient.
The Teams rendezvous near the gate, establishing a small protective perimeter near the Magical tower that functioned still. A small convoy, escorted by "bang buses" (large transport trucks loaded down with auto cannons and mortars or recoilless rifles) moved quickly, the team forcing their way through the Jungle. A combination of near nonstop movement (crew rotated turns of driving, sleeping within what room remained in the Bang Buses) and heavy firepower drove off the majority of beasts, the convoy following paths set by the Recon team to skirt around as many Predator Territories as possible.
The Convoy was able to set up multiple labs, small and hidden beneath the ground, before retreating to the Gates due to lack of food and dangerously low firepower. These labs collected minerals, artifacts, and scrolls/tomes of information for intense study, as well as comparisons with minerals from other worlds and other dimensions.
Establishing the value and abundance of various minerals, the UHC HS teams withdrew from Felarya around late 1979 AU, abandoning the Labs, leaving hollow metal skeletons within mountains, under the ground, and nestled in thick groves...
- FIRST COLONIZATION ATTEMPT:
First Colonization Attempt: 1990 AU A few years after the Excursion, the UHC were contacted by the Klanoke, finalizing a Contract entailing the colonization of (approved) planes, worlds, or dimensions included in the original Reconnaissance Service. Felarya was amongst the list of locations approved and included in the contract, ranked low on priority. The Colonization Force, consisting of elements of Security and Marines (mainly dealing with the Airforce of the UHC, though smaller units were deployed to aid in securing previously designated colony locations) as well as smaller aircraft carrying the bare essentials for construction, moved in later 1990 AU. The force quickly moved to secure a location at the base of the Navrose Mountain range, on the Northwestern section. They built up a simple fort between two of the larger mountains, functioning as a watchtower of sorts. Gun emplacements were set up to ward off harpies and other predators, and the first group of volunteer miners arrived to aid in excavating the mountainside, constructing temporary tunnels down to the gorge below, where the colony proper was set up, along with smaller watchtowers overlooking the area, with gun emplacements installed as well. Predators began to quickly harass the colony, dubbed Mirth, and casualties began to mount as the infant infrastructure was damaged, defenses evaded, and routes exploited.
- REINFORCEMENTS:
Reinforcements: 1992 AU The Felaryan Detachment had begun, and still has, a low yearly budget to spend upon defenses, repairs, and equipment. Their tools and weapons tend to be obsolete (by the standards of the Galatic Era they are native to) and as such, the issue of casualties and a lack of soldiers experienced in Felarya's ways arose. Central Command (CC whenever mentioned) approved for the one time deployment of additional soldiers and battery guns to aid in entrenching Mirth. Twenty 210mm cannons, as well as a company of Security Forces (SF whenever mentioned). With new cannons better suited to dealing with the large beasts of Felarya, the UHC were able to secure Mirth against attacks by predators and fauna alike.
With reinforcements, came the first large wave of colonists, allowing Mirth to finally begin to turn a profit in mining. Tunnels were dug deep into the mountains, following veins of metals unique to Felarya.
The UHC managed to secure Mirth, however they refrained from branching out, focusing upon meeting their first quota of minerals. As such, every weapon, Sec. Officer, and vehicle were concentrated in a singular point, allowing the UHC to survive and eventually causing predators to lessen the frequency of attacks.

| Well, while you're working in progress, there's a few things worth pointing.
First of all, it mentions several empires from the beginning, but worlds aren't mentioned until the third paragraph, the Galactic Council waits until the fifth, and "hundreds of research colonies" waits until the sixth. The scope of the empires they serve seems to be of greater importance to me than the training tiers for marines, security, and civilian personnel.
I find it quite odd that the UHC has a seat in the galactic council, if it takes a space empire to get one. Doesn't that seem odd enough to justify some more information on the subject? Do these 5 empires like that? Does the rest of the Council like it? The prestige of the Coalition seems like the least important consequence of that seat.
Says here that they protect those their own governments don't support. They're a private military; private seems to be the key word here, since they get to research ignoring most laws, according to pa. 5. On whose orders do they protect those people, and on whose dime? Empires shouldn't get to ignore that kind of favor-mongering with the public.
pa. 4, You mention the civilian branch is "quickly monopolized". I think maybe you meant they hold a monopoly in something, like... I dunno, recruitment, or providing services?
pa. 5, the "most dark"? You need a synonim there. Considering the whole article so far does little but praise them, yes, you need a synonim. Dubious? Least transparent? Ominous? Sinister? Ineffable? Secretive? Unscrupulous?
That's all that comes to mind. Hope it helps. | |

| Yeah. The top bit was mostly a rough draft from some time ago. I had the sudden urge to post the history, at least some, so... Yeah. I'll edit it now and post what I've done in another post. | |

| EDITED. Addressed Stabs concerns in the original rough draft, regarding the UHC as it's own entity. ----- Galatic Council (temporarily?) removed. ----- Empires relationship to the UHC explained. (See: The Universe section. [Need to specify Empires - WIP] ) ----- Better separation and explanation of the three branches. ----- Removal of the overly-praisey stuff. | |

| Well, you guys know that I'm not too good at critique, but I'd like to point out one or two things.
The first one that I noticed was that you mentioned each empire giving "one billion" in funding to the original PMC. I'm not sure what to make of it, really. This could either be a lot or be very little, since we know nothing of the economy of any of the empires. It could even be quite different amounts for each, just like a billion US dollars is substantially more than a billion yen. So yeah, maybe you should either delve a bit in the economy of the Empires when you get to develop them, or just avoid giving an specific amount and just describe it.
The second is that there seems to be a gap that isn't covered between the efforts of colonization and and the mention of Felarya. You only mentioned intergalactic travel at some point, but then it also seems to have turned into interdimensional travel, since Felarya is a dimension on its own and you mention them coming through the Dimensional Gate at Ur-Sagol. That seems strange to me.
The third is you seem to assume the underground is completely safe, when it's described to be quite a handful. Maybe you should add a sentence or two, or rethink a few things of your colonization plans. | |
