Ajax's new secret project. Shushhhhhhhhh


 * Set on the world of Aether, on the Island of Caliban.

Caliban is divided into six counties. Southern most, and largest county is the metropolitan county of South Safford. This houses the capital, Anvil Bay. This houses the local government, the only interstellar space port and a offshore island housing the four orbital elevators. The city is mostly metropolitan, with expensive apartments, clubs, high-end malls and outer suburbs. The southern end of the city, closest to the bay is known as the old city, where the poorer residents live, with older buildings. The ABPD is well equipped, with patrol men outfitted with ballistic gear and high end weaponry, a well trained SWAT unit and a specialised counter-terror unit to combat the growing Insurrection. Outer areas of South tend to be quiet, areas, with private residences in the woodlands and the main highway, connecting to the city of Three Peaks. Three peaks is a large industrial town, making many of the raw goods sold on the galactic market. Producing monolithic amounts of arms for the war effort, now the war is over, the city is experiencing a down turn. Also located in South Safford is Terminus Base South, a secret Insurrectionist base within striking distance of Anvil Bay.

North Safford is a rural area, with no cities, and a few dotted towns. These towns are small and rural, and only connection to the world at large is the trans-Caliban highway, or the three MagLev networks. There are larger numbers of farms, with the large flatlands being fertile, and excellent for raising livestock.

Telemare is west of North Safford, in a archipelago. The connecting land area houses a raised plateau, which itself houses the Fort Menteith. The fort consists of a fortified perimeter with concrete reinforced positions giving dominating views of the surrounding areas, and an internal barracks area, containing enough room for a several regiments. At the moment, it only houses one Army Regiment. It has an attached airstrip and hangars, housing a supporting air unit. The base is fitted with several arsenals, barracks, automated defences, vehicle hangars and command centre. Most of the archipelago is used for combined forces training and houses several simulated combat areas, and a proving ground. There are several towns near the county borders, and most of these house military personnel. The Fort is connected by MagLev and motorway lines, allowing near instant deployment of military forces to anywhere on the island.

Canis is the central county, and the largest. This marks the dividing point between the rich, rolling flat lands of the south, and the craggy, hilly and impoverished north. The Island is separated into two halves by an island, At the eastern side, it is present as large, calm river. Here is the city of Tasseville. This city has a large, eastward facing port, and is divided into the up market south, and the industrialised north. Here are several bridges and an underwater MagLev line. further down the river becomes rapids, then splits into a swampy delta. Here are several small towns, villages and logging camps, most of which are rarely mapped.

To the north east is the county of West Clover. West Closer is marked by wind swept hills and industrialised towns, mostly out of business caused by the end of the war. These towns are dilapidated but still inhabited. The central city of Scarlet Cove has several skyscrapers but these belie the fact the city is all but dying. Officially the MagLev line ends here, but abandoned sections continue onto East Clover.

East Clover is the northern most section of Caliban, and the most wild and rugged. Mountains and hills make access difficult, and only the Trans-Caliban highway goes through, the MagLev line abandoned and left to rot. There are a number of towns and villages, centred around industrial areas, logging or mining, but these are mostly abandoned. This county has become a hive of criminal and Insurrectionist activity, with Terminus Base North based here, and the rough city of Craggiston. The county has the highest level of crime, and the most combat ready police department, with counter-terror units. It also has the only off-island bridge, to the more northerly Tempest Island, moving up the mainland.

The Police Departments of Caliban island usually focus on small town police departments, with pairs of officers in patrol cars, unarmoured and equipped with semi-automatic 9mm pistols. Qualified officers may also carry DTM/LE shotguns, M7 SMG or semi-automatic rifles. Body Armour may be stocked in patrol cars. In more rural areas, officers may take more high accuracy revolvers, or M6 pistols. SWAT forces have access to 9mm SMGs, 5.56mm Carbines, high power sniper rifles and full body body armour. The PDs also have access to civilian pattern Falcon and Pelican VTOLs, outfitted for emergency response, surveillance and aerial insertion. There are also three Special Reaction Units, positioned in three different cities. These units consist of a 'Red' and 'Blue' Team, with 7 members each, and specialise in counter-terrorism and hostage rescue, with a variety of highly trained specialists, in negotiation, combat, marksmanship and bomb disposal. These specialists often have long periods of experience in either SWAT, or UNSC armed forces, mostly special forces.
