Name: Sol Consortium

Leader: Advocate General Arthur Bell

Background/Info: Originally a consortium (hence the name) of companies and corporations during the height of the prosperous periods, the Sol Consortium is now a fragmented alliance of the planets Mercury and Pluto, along with the latter's moons. Both worlds are cut off from one another, with only the occasional starship or message making it past the wars in among the planets making it through. But though their ties are tenuous, they are not forgotten. The people may be rough and ready, more suited to militia and guerrilla tactics than proper soldiering, but their commanders are young and inflamed with that spark of daredevil genius only found in the darkest hours. There is food and water on Pluto, and materials to be had under the deserts of Mercury. A daring Advocate General- like the new one -might be able to rebuild his shattered nation, if he was deft and effective.

Culture: The culture is mixed, but the government is a strict meritocracy: your skill determines your role, not connections.

Strengths: High amounts of minerals, mostly-intact planetary defenses, decent technology, hardy population.

Weaknesses: Limited starships, limited formal military, almost no mechanized units.

Quirks/Other: The Consortium is very good about maintaining what few starships they have, resulting in their vessels being somewhat better than the average run-down haulers. Their laser technology lags behind the system standard, but they make up for it with their slightly-above-average kinetic armament.

Character:

Name: Aron Jokron

Species: Mercurian Human. Essentially, a subset of humans that have adapted to the harsh desert conditions to be more efficient in their internal water storage.

Faction: Sol Consortium

Skills and Weapons: A laser pistol he took as a trophy from a previous battle, which he clings to like it's his life support. A decent shot and trained in hand-to-hand combat.

Strengths: A bit of a "trickster" on the field, very adaptive to battle updates and making new formations and strategies on the field.

 Weaknesses: Not the best diplomat or even a good one, in general. He doesn't have much skill in intrigue albeit not awful either.

Quirks/Other: A close friend of Arthur Bell and Lieutenant Commander of their only Cruiser Class, the CSS Reprisal, currently docked over Pluto after their resupply.
