RP:Status Quo

Status Quo is an RP set on the colony of Gilgamesh in the immediate aftermath of the, specifically in the autumn of. It is a time of great strife. With the end of the Covenant threat, the has begun moving to reclaim colonies with which contact was lost during the war, to return to some semblance of the state of the galaxy before the war. On the colony of, controlled by crimelords or , fears of a UNSC return to the planet are running high. The Gilgamesh Free State is preparing for an invasion and becoming increasingly paranoid of UNSC covert operatives in their midst. Criminals fear that with a return of the UNSC, their illegal operations will be brought to a halt.

Factions

 * Insurrectionists are one of the main powers on the colony of Gilgameh. The main organized rebel group on the planet is the Gilgamesh Free State, which is one of the few havens of order on the mostly-lawless planet. As it is part of the United Rebel Front, the Free State is host to a number of advisors and envoys from other groups in the alliance, along with being a safe harbor for those rebels who have managed to escape UNSC capture. With the invasion of the Victorian Independent State, the rebels on Gilgamesh have become increasingly worried about the possibility of a UNSC attack, and with it have become increasingly paranoid and wary of the possibility of UNSC operatives on the planet.
 * Criminal syndicates
 * With Gilgamesh being a lawless planet for the most part, criminal syndicates have control over much of its settled lands. These various syndicates have formed tenuous alliances with some others, as well as deep grudges against others. Some even have hostile relations with the Gilgamesh Free State due to the fact it provides safe haven and legitimization as auxiliaries for certain criminal syndicates in return for aid in its efforts. However, much like the rebels, many of these syndicates fear the UNSC's return. This is due to the fact that the coming of a strong authority across the planet would greatly threaten their illegal operations.
 * Despite Gilgamesh's infamy as a lawless colony, the UNSC still has some forces on the planet. UNSC sympathizers and the remnants of the garrison have formed their own groups on the frontier out of fear of persecution by the Gilgamesh Free State and not wanting to live in settlements controlled entirely by criminals. With the UNSC paying more attention to once-abandoned colonies like Gilgamesh, they have also begun supplying guns, supplies and advisors to these groups in hopes they will aid in the inevitable invasion. Outside of this, the UNSC inserted agents on Gilgamesh to work against and spy on those factions that pose a threat, particularly the Gilgamesh Free State and the more powerful criminal syndicates.
 * Unaffiliated
 * Lawless colonies tend to attract rogues of all stripes, and Gilgamesh is no different. Survival and, in some cases, making money, is the name of the game for these people.
