We are Damocles !
Damocles isn`t only a description for a group of people, it`s an idea. We will be there, where the
UEE is not, we will
be the first and last line of defense in the darkest hours of humanity.
Keep in mind that we are allways on the edge.
Not everyone likes our methods, or the way we work, but we will never hesitate to even use the most
feared technologies and uncommon strategys to defeat our enemys.
Our prime intention is to defend the standart citizen from the dangers outthere, or even from themselves.
The UEE isn`t capable of guarding there own theritories anymore. It`s not a secret that we work far beyond the restrictions of law and that`s why we are everytime on the move, or at least some of us. To ensure functionality and organization in such a chaos we worked out a great concept.
The four Quadrants
Ikarus splitted the whole galaxy in three Quadrants: Alpha, Beta and Delta. The quadrants stands under the direct control of a so called “Quadrant Guard” and his subordinates. Every single quadrant has it`s own purpose in the big picture we form together.
- The Alpha Quadrant: The Alpha Quadrant is under the controle of Ikarus himself, he and his subordinates are forming the
main militiary strength of “Damocles” and work as “Operators”. There job is to fight constantly against the Vanduul
and defend the border colonys, to increase the fighting skills and work new strategies out.
- The Beta Quadrant: The Beta Quadrant is under the controle of Jack Aubrey, there job is the one of an “Explorator” and developing of new
technologies. The majority of our spys and intelligence is set up there aswell, providing “Damocles” with a constant
news feed and even working in Xi`An territory.
- The Delta Quadrant: The Delta Quadrant builds the main financial recource of “Damocles”, recruiting our “Economists”. Ace Avaazzeen
manages the income and maintains the contact to our Banu merchants. Without them, “Damocles” could never exist
in such a scale.
Every “Quadrant Guard” has the same weight in decisions. “Damocles” solves problem in democratic ways.
The Homefleet
What is the homefleet ?
- The Homefleet has been introduced at the very first beginnings of “Damocles”, when they started a nomadic existence.
“Damocles” has been inspired by the Vanduul lifestyle, having no homeworld but a fleet of ship replacing it.
With the Kronos at the front, the whole fleet consists of different ships flying through every quadrant and acting as the mobile
HQ, gathering the whole data a quadrant achieved during a whole cyclus. Imagine a clock, with the center of it as the galaxy`s
middlepoint and the tip of the pointer as the homefleet, cycling threw every quadrant. One whole rotation is called a cyclus. During
the flythrough they stay in direct contact with the responsible “Quadrant Guard”, supporting him and share the information from the
other quadrants, and loading up his to the “Damocles-Mainframe”. The complete route is beeing kept as a secret, only given to the
most trusted members of “Damocles”. Even the “Quadrant Guards” only know the coordinates relating to there theritory. The Homefleet
is even the diplomatic instance between the “Quadrant Guardians”, if any arguments are starting.
The Captain of the fleet is Joe Daniels, known as “Archangel”. His job is to work as an instructor, recruiting new and potential members
for “Damocles”. The major difference between him and the other leaders is, that he doesn`t have the right to vote in decisions,
but provide assitance and strategical suggestions to them.
How do you get into the homefleet ?
- You don`t choose the homefleet, the homefleet chooses you.
Why the homefleet ?
- The homefleet is the main HQ and a fix point for “Damocles”, preventing the organization from splitting appart into
three regions fighting each other for the dominance. If one “Quadrant Guard” is beeing killed or arrestet he would never
be able to betray the rest and steer “Damocles” into it`s doom, so the UEE wouldn`t have the chance to take the whole
organization down.
How do we fight ?
- “Damocles” is not interested to habit any space, because we are allready everywhere. We pull the strings behind the big stage.
We strike and vanish, that`s how we keep our location secret. We don`t count on big fleets, rather on small striking partys.
So our primary target regarding our staff is not quantity, but quality. High educated personal is very important for us.
