The Chosen 508th
(+0 Influence)
[Heavy Encryption of all Files]
The descendants of the 508th Light Infantry Imperial Guard Regiment that disappeared during wars in the system some 200 years ago. The KGco has formed a trade agreement with the 508 to supply them with additional supplies and occasional personnel in exchange for their unique food resources.
Given their desire to remain a secret to the outside, contact with the unit shall be limited; most trade shall be conducted via Servitors and other automated forms of delivery outfitted with vox casters that match their short wave frequencies. Personnel may be dispatched to join the 508 when appropriate—for the ongoing function of the reactor, it is highly advisable that technomats, eletropriests, and enginseers be among those sent to the colony.

Ssar Wolstina of 9th
-De Facto leader of the 508; the title of Ssar derives from Comissar, which exists in the form of the character Comi Ssar in their lore (the original leader who brought the 508 to their position, and set their course of action).
-Believes strongly in their mission, and Comi Ssar's belief that cut off from the surface, the Guard would achieve a utopia of sorts, able to fully perform their purpose in peak condition. Views any circumstance that could break their line as a threat to the 508's existence; will not allow any of the Guard to leave, and views outsiders with skepticism. (Explained that while some have joined, some have attempted to steal from them; presumably others have threatened their way of life philosophically.)
-Forwards the belief in a Final Conflict with the Enemies of Mankind, which they must remain prepared for; as such, attempted to restore the Reserve that had apparently perished within its stasis pod (before she had been born) by replacing it with Magos Vector van Flange. The original Reserve's nature has been lost to time, but it has been described as a hero, and "anathema to the Archenemy." Might have been a man or a beast; some records indicate it was a "soulless creature," perhaps indicating a robotic entity or a Blank. Use of the stasis pod is more indicative of a biological entity.
-Ambassador Lethe negotiated a deal with Wolstina; KG-co will supply the 508 with supplies, munitions, armaments, and so forth in exchange for their surplus Cutters, and the nutrient rich goo they provide.
Clan Enge Seers
-Current "Seers" (seemingly derived from Enginseer) are Mab and Mas of Enge, trained by the recently deceased Mag of Enge.
-Possess some knowledge and skill regarding the maintenance of the Reactor, though they lack proper training in standard protocol and care of machine spirits. However, they are willing to receive instruction from credible sources.
Sarge-Captain Graem of 2nd
-One of the officers running the defense of the front line.
-Wants to use ordinance to collapse the tunnel of Westgate, putting him at odds with Omera Rutel (who seeks to save their limited explosives) and the Ssar (who is concerned with the possible risk to the Fungal Farm).
-Doesn't believe in "the Big One," and is more concerned with the ongoing survival and welfare of the 508 in the immediate future.
Chaplain Fitzga of 9th
-The preacher and records keeper of the 508. Deeply invested in the stories that she keeps, though many that should be more objective in nature are more mythological in format.
-Conveyed a story to Major Verity of Sarge Captain Gloria of 9th, a hero who bested multiple Brutes alone with only two las pistols.
Vek Smekley
-A former archivist of the DeWonti Trade Consortium; initial appraisal of his abilities shows promise for recruitment, however his his strong self-preservation instinct may indicate against entrusting him with sensitive material of any kind.
-After locating the dead body of an acquaintance who had apparently been killed by the Consortium, he himself was targeted for execution, but managed to flee; he sought the aid of Keojrah-Glynt Company due to our existing rivalry/hostilities with DeWonti, in hopes that he could trade information for protection.
-Chemical interrogation and follow-up on his leads have corroborated his claims; though it is hypothetically possible that resisted these methods, and that our successful mission on the abandoned Fungal Farm was a ploy to gain our trust, I believe the existence of the Procuratia to stand in contradiction to this possibility, as I do not believe Lady von Tarquinius would have risked (or chosen to use) discovery of such valuable and heretical tools in such a scheme. Indeed, I believe it was the discovery of the Procuratia's existence that led Vek's acquaintance to be terminated, as he had apparently been investigating the disappearances of the women that I believe were to undergo the proxy procedure.
-Vek's information has further provided us with the ability to decrypt DeWonti transmissions, and possible access to the Starlight's Boon. Both assets must be used carefully, to avoid detection. The Cryptographic Cyphers have proven useful via the aid of Kelvin 111 and the Comutotitron Chapel.
-Vek has dispatched to the 508 as a defensive measure to the interests of the DeWonti Trade Consortium; he has been instructed to assist them with logistical administration, and to pass information back to KG-co when relevant.
Omera Rutel of 3rd
-Quartermaster and general resource manager of the 508; focused on keeping a full stock of their supplies, putting her at odds with Sarge-Captain Graem's beliefs.
Assorted Other Members
-Elder Getch, and an additional Elder whose name we have not learned. Seem to keep watch over certain artifacts in the 508, including the sword-key that opens the vault.
-Mari of 3rd, Mess Director
-Population of some 850 individuals, including children.
