ABSCONDITUS EMINUS [AERECRUIT] - Organizations

History

The History of Absconditus Eminus (AE)
Absconditus Eminus (AE) originated during humanity’s earliest attempts to explore and secure its future beyond Earth. In the uncertain era of pre-UEE space colonization, AE was formed as a covert organization dedicated to safeguarding humanity’s collective interests and stability in the growing frontier. Operating in secrecy, AE influenced pivotal moments in human expansion, from terraforming projects to the defense of vital trade routes, before its influence waned during the consolidation of power under the newly formed United Empire of Earth (UEE) in 2523.

AE’s legacy remained dormant for centuries until it was rediscovered in the wake of the Messer Era’s collapse in 2792. As humanity grappled with the aftermath of authoritarian rule, a group of visionaries revived AE’s philosophies to address the political corruption and lawlessness threatening stability. Guided by the teachings of The Book of the Hidden, AE was reborn with a renewed purpose: to protect humanity from within, operating discreetly where governments and corporations faltered.

Origins in Conflict and Rebirth
The modern principles of AE were shaped by a legendary coalition known as Foxtrot 7 (F7), a group forged during Earth’s 21st-century military conflicts. This clandestine task force—comprised of operatives such as Raven (Corvus), Chapel (Sacellum), London (Civitas), Memphis, Gauntlet, Solomon, and Templar—specialized in intelligence, strategy, and unconventional warfare. Their philosophies, later codified in The Book of the Hidden, emphasized unity, secrecy, and precision, forming the ideological backbone of AE’s rebirth centuries later.

As humanity expanded its reach into the stars, AE re-emerged as a covert organization capable of operating across the heavily regulated core systems and the lawless territories of space. With its foundations rooted in Foxtrot 7’s principles, AE adapted its methods to interstellar politics, resource competition, and alien relations, ensuring its influence remained subtle yet significant.

Philosophy and Purpose
The name Absconditus Eminus—Latin for “hidden at a distance”—reflects the organization’s mission to operate discreetly while exerting strategic influence. AE’s guiding philosophy, The Imperium, alongside foundational texts such as The Ordinem and The Seven Commandments of The Imperium, underscores values of loyalty, discipline, and adaptability. These doctrines bind its members to ethical conduct while ensuring their actions serve humanity’s broader interests.

AE’s structure incorporates a military-inspired hierarchy, recognizing merit and contributions while fostering unity among its members. Training in intelligence, strategy, and resilience equips operatives to navigate the volatile landscape of UEE-controlled space and beyond. AE remains committed to secrecy and precision, ensuring its activities align with its original mission of safeguarding humanity.

Legacy Across Centuries
Absconditus Eminus continues to embody the balance between humanity’s need for order and its capacity for adaptation. Whether influencing political outcomes, protecting vital resources, or intervening in lawless sectors, AE operates as a force dedicated to preserving stability and purpose. Its enduring mission, shaped by its storied past and evolving challenges, ensures its legacy remains vital across generations, bridging humanity’s history with its uncertain future.
