Welcome to GoM

Congratulations on joining the Guardians of Mankind! As a new guardian, this guide will teach you

everything that you need to know to be the greatest guardian the universe has ever seen! At least

something close to that really. Filling these legendary pages is information pertaining to every element

of guardian life from the fabled "Ecoing" to the commonplace information such as weapons, terminal

usage, and objectives! Joining the Guardians of Mankind gives you all of the many rights that have been

afforded to our faction. Thanks to the riots of 2150, the Dominion gave GoM the sole production rights

to Emergency Medkits and free healthcare for life! So no need to worry about having low health, just

walk to your nearest medical terminal and select the highly expensive, but very free to Guardians, Nano

Surgery! So then trainee, empty your mind of any previous conceptions of what is good and what is evil.

Free yourselves from the shackles of your former self and step into the light; prepare to learn what it

truly means to be a member of the Guardians of Mankind.

History2307 - The Marketing Wars caused much civil unrest in all Dominion territories - shortage of items; price

escalation to pay for the fighting and conflict; intellectuals trying to restore reason and sense to the

Dominion; and citizen protests growing into riots. With the government evidently weakening in the face

of corporate power, it seemed as if the values the Dominion had sworn to uphold would soon beforgotten as corporate concerns over profit overtook the management of the colonial communities. The

Marketing Wars were truly a trying time for all of humanity.

As a result, an odd evolution soon occurred. Rioters soon began to form into organized units;

intellectuals began to use some of these groups and focused their violence into specific and purposeful

plans of attacks, instead of random hostile acts. Riots became much less common and the protests

eventually grew into political maneuvers for the purpose of electing like-minded individuals to powerful

political offices. The smaller groups formed into like-minded larger groups whereby dynamic leaders

emerged. Solernus, a writer, academic and philosopher, known for his poetry and his doctrine of self-

rule headed the largest and gathered a growing following around his views. The masses began citing himand espousing his philosophy with much regularity, eventually petitioning him to lead them. After much

persuasion he reluctantly agreed - but only on the condition of anonymity. Therefore he was known as

"The Poet".

Nearly 50 years after the onset of the Market Wars, the Guardians emerged, under the guidance of "The

Poet" and his council of aiming to bring about peace and to protect the future of mankind. Recognizing

the need for visible and operational leadership, they formed the Command Council. The Council

appoints its own successors - not through democracy but based on a pragmatic selection of the best

person for the job; each role is for life or until voluntary retirement. The movement grew even stronger

in the aftermath of the Independence War. The Guardians remain steadfast in their resolve againstuncontested rule of the colonies by a corporate-dominated government and in the rights of all to self-

govern. They believe only colonial communities should have the right to decide their own off-world

policy, and in a separate parliament elected by all the colonies.

The Guardians are very popular on the colonies as well as on Earth, gaining headway on two policies: a

message of accountability in the Dominion; and a belief in a corruption-free Dominion - they are

intolerant of known criminals even within their own ranks.

With the introduction of the Colonial Senate, the Guardians feel their time has come; a time to speak

rather than raise weapons, a time to use the Senate as a means to air concerns against the corporationas well as bringing to light corruption in the highest law of the land, the Dominion Senate.

The Guardians put respect for mankind above all other rules, protecting the citizens from the corruption

of the Dominion, especially the organization sworn to protect the public - the Law Enforcement

Department. Their home is a sanctuary for those asking for help, and a war zone for those who seek to

restrain and lock up the freedom that is the peoples right.

Other Factions

In order to understand our place in the universe better, we must examine the other factions and their

roles. Eight factions make up the fabric of the society. Each faction can bring a different atmosphere to

the Universe whether by war, control of a colony and its mines or undermining prices on the market

Overview of Factions!Factions are led by a leader who is elected by their members and who uses their abilities to take

colonies, make deals with other factions to help control the market or hire out as mercenaries.

Individual players are citizens of the Dominion, banded together in their factions they become a force to

fear.

List of factions:

* Law Enforcement Department (Global Dominion: Police)

* Freedom Defense Corps (Global Dominion: Army)

* Colonization and Mining Guild (Corporation: Mining)

* Eurocore (Corporation: Production)

* Vortex Inc. (Corporation: Transport)

* Brotherhood of the Shadows (Clan: Gangs)

* Mercenaries (Clan: Mercenaries)

* Guardians of Mankind (Clan: Medics and Diplomats)

Departments

A department represents a subdivision or specialization within a faction. Departments typically

take responsibility for some internal aspect of the faction. For example, most factions have a

department dedicated to training of new recruits. Details about each department are usually available in

the faction's own forums.

Departments are created and headed by the appropriate rank within the faction. Only the leader of a

department can add members to it. Departments enjoy several benefits:

Departmental Headquarters, which functions as an apartment which department members canaccess on any colony.

Department chat which only others in the department can access.Internal bank account, which can be managed by the department head and assigned funds to by

the R7 of the faction.Department title underneath the name of members when anyone looks them up in the citizens

database.

Note that Mercenaries do not have departments; instead they operate under cells, which are more

autonomous than departments.

Departments in GoM:Guardian Council - Highest Authority. Also called Guardian High Council or the High Assembly.

Sentinels of Solernus - Main military force within the Guardians of Mankind.

Guardian Ambassadorial Order - External Affairs and political force behind the Guardians.

Humanitarian Aide Supply - Ensuring a stable source of supplies on Guardian colonies and medical force

Mining

Mining is pretty straight forward. First go to the colony which have the materials you need. After

selecting what material you want to mine and the quality, you simply press 'Start mining'. Then select

the amount of materials and you've started mining. The mining screen has now been brought up. Here

you can adjust the energy (will make the mining go faster) but will increase the price. If you've a too high

energy level, cooling will be needed. In order for the mining terminal to not malfunction; the orange

indicator in the middle (heat) will show you if cooling is needed. If it's almost at the top (max) add

cooling or your mining session will be terminated. You can move around on the colony without

disturbing your mining session (or production session). However leaving the colony will cancel the

current session. At the top of the screen you can see the progress of your current session. You can bring

up the mining screen at any time and cancel it or changing the values (energy, cooling or amount).

Production

The Production Terminal uses some of the most advanced

production processes in existence to quickly refine minerals into

production parts and manufacture production parts into items

using schematics called "Production Modules, (PMods for short).

PMods can be purchased from the terminal for an amount of UC

and will tell you all of the production materials you need to

manufacture the item.

The Picture in figure 1.2is a photograph of a mining

terminal. They can be found of

almost every colony.

In figure 2.2 is a photograph of

a production terminal. They are

located on every colony.
