The Order of In Caestu Ferri

History: In Caestu Ferri was originally a group of settelers, migrating from Greensburg, to the costal area that will become In Caestu Ferri. The land was rich in the materials used to make weaponry, and so the weapons industry began. Resources lead to an eventual economic boom, buisnesses throughout In Caestu Ferri banded together to form a massive conglomerate. This conglomerate was named the Orion Corporation. The leaders at the time also bought in to the Orion Corporation, causing citizens to name the government “The Orion Corporation” and the original Orion Corporation “The Conglomerate”(We have no clue why though). After many years of peace and prosperity, Greensburg finally took notice of the success of its smaller neighbor. The government officials of Greensburg declared war on In Caestu Ferri, and demanded the nation to surrender. In Caestu Ferri denied their request to surrender, Greensburg sent in a fleet of roughly 500 bombers escorted by roughly 300 fighter planes to level the resistance. Greensburg, in their greed, neglected to factor two things. 1. Greensburg, though larger than In Caestu Ferri, did not work on its military force nearly as much as In Caestu Ferri, much of their gear was outdated, the pride of the Greensburgen army was their bomber fleet, by far their most modern weaponry and 2. In Caestu Ferri made its own war machines, they also engineered them to surpass any of the weapons their nearby nations could muster and with the massive resource depositis around the small nation, they mass produced their weapons of war. Greensburg’s planes were shot down as they approached the border, in the end only roughly 10%-15% made it through to a small city named Civitas Capitibus Principum. A massive battle unfolded, the battle would later be known as the In Caestu Ferrian Massicare. During the In Caestu Ferri Massicare, most of the remaining Greensburgen fleet was shot down. In retaliation, the Ferrians used their technology to siege the capital of Greensburg and destroy it, erecting the now capital city of Atlas City on top of it, as a sign of their might. To this day In Caestu Ferri remains a forerunner of both arms manufacturing and military power.





•Government:
The government of In Caestu Ferri is unique. Though it is called The Orion Corporation, it is in fact, no longer related to a corporation of any sort. The title is purly ceremonial, to honor the government that was first founded under the flag of In Caestu Ferri. The government, though not allowing citizens to vote, is not a dictatorship, as some would imagine.

Starting from around the middle point of the teenage years, Ferrians will take standardized tests. From this test, the strongest, smartest, and overall best performers in said tests (physical test, intelligence test, writing test and the optional military command test) will be given the chance to become a part of the government.
Should they accept, these chosen few will be groomed to be the utmost best for In Caestu Ferri’s rule. The wolves to lead the pack.

The roles and requirements are as follows:
•Apollyon:
—The Baron asked, “Why aren’t we destroying all the supplies? Why are we leaving these caches intact?”

“Because,” replied The Apollyon,”what happens if we destroy all of the supplies?”

The Baron replied,”They starve, they will not be able to treat their wounded, and they will di-“

The Apollyon interrupted him,”They will unite. Unite against us. But... leave enough supplies for one, maybe two, of their armies, and they will fight each other for it, and only the strong will survive. We are not here to kill them Baron, we are here to find the wolves among them. Find the ones worthy of survival. If there are wolves among them, we must set them free. Wouldn’t you agree Baron?”
-Apollyon Blackstone: Conversation from The War of the Five Nations.

—Apollyon is the highest role in the government of the Orion Corporation. It is ensured that only the strongest, both mentally and physically, may take the position. The highest testers in all aspects of the test are presented before the Apollyon. From this group, the Apollyon will choose the two he or she sees as most fit for the role of Apollyon. These two will be trained in everything from politics to combat to military strategy. They will be trained in many forms of combat with many different weapons, both modern, such as guns, and past, such as swords. When the time comes, the two chosen by the Apollyon will be put in the arena for trial by combat. Combat not by gun, but by blade. The two will battle until either concedes or is unable to continue fighting.
The winner will be the new Apollyon, the other will be made Baron.

—Current Apollyon: Apollyon Jameson

—Uniform: The Apollyon wears armor modeled after that of a knight, painted black. The shoulders have metal carvings of wolf heads, one upon each shoulder, and a smooth black helmet with a skull engraved on it. The suit also comes with a black leather cape. It is made from the strongest materials In Caestu Ferri has to offer, strong enough to stop a .50 caliber round fired at 10 yards and is equipped with a Mn-101 exoskeleton. The suit was so expensive to make that only one has been created on record (Though conspiracy theorists believe that other suits were made for a classified special operations team, these claims have been publicly denied by the ICF Government).

•Barons:
—”The Apollyon is a great man, though he cannot be in all places at once, and for battles deemed of vital importance, either he or I shall lead the charge. I am the arm of the Apollyon, but also my own person. Together we are loved, feared, hated, respected. I am the Baron, and I am the hand of war.”
-Baron Rivers

—The Baron is the loser of the battle for Apollyon, but it is a prestigious role regardless. The Baron serves as the Apollyon’s second in command, and should the Apollyon fall, the new Apollyon.

—Current Baron: Baron Rogers

—Uniform: The Baron is dressed in armor resembling that of the Apollyon, though painted red and not made of the same materials. The armor does not have wolf heads on the shoulders, instead bearing the engraving of a wolf on the helmet.

•Minister of War:
”People may wonder the role of a Minister of War, after all, the Apollyon and Baron are also well trained in military tactics. While they are, I specialize in them, I have been relentlessly trained to see every weakness, every hole in our enemies. Do the Apollyon and Baron know what they are doing? Yes. They are the the bringers of war. I am the conductor of its instruments”
-Minister Chan

—The Minister of War is the best combined tester on the military strategy test and intelligence test, trained by their predecessors after selection.

—Current Minister: Minister Stone

—Uniform: The Minister of War wears a black trench coat, black pants, along with a white dress shirt and red tie. On his or her head they wear an officer’s cap bearing the flag of In Caestu Ferri with a golden wolf’s head and sword in the center.

•Minister of Peace:
—”Does my job seem pointless? Maybe. After all, our nation is practically founded upon war. We almost treat it as a religion. Regardless, we do need someone to keep our allies happy. That’s my job. Even a nation that worships war needs peace.”
-Minister Shen

—The Minister of Peace is selected through the best combined tester of the written and intelligence test, then trained by their predecessor.

—Current Minister: Minister Shen

—Uniform: The Minister of Peace wears a black dress suit with red lining and the flag of In Caestu Ferri engraved on the back.

•Minister of Police:
”Freedom? Freedom does not bring peace miss reporter, not the freedom you speak of. What you speak of is chaos. Lawlessness. People don’t need complete freedom from “government oppression”, that’s not even what most want. They need boundaries, rules, a force they can trust to enforce those rules and keep them safe. That is my job. While you write your articles criticizing our government and rant about how awful we are, who is keeping you safe? The very people you dare criticize! If we were a dictatorship you, miss, would be dead! Dictatorships don’t keep their opponents alive! That is all for questions, thank you.”
-Minister Gilbert after a journalist called the government “a tyrannical enemy to freedom”

—The Minister of Police is the runner up behind the minister of war, scoring second overall in the intelligence and strategy test, then trained by their predecessor.

—Current Minister: Minister Lopez

—Uniform: The Minister of Police wears a while trench coat and pants with a black dress shirt and red tie. On the minister’s head is an officer’s cap bearing the flag of In Caestu Ferri with a golden wolf’s head on a shield in the middle.

•Minister of Science:
—”I really think I don’t get enough credit for my job ya know? I mean I’m the guy who keeps all the other ministers up to the times. We have AI citizens now, and I’m the one to represent them. I direct the funding on research projects and even assist when needed. Me and my scientists have helped make everything from our war machines to our automated trains and flying cars. My position even helped build the Aries orbital base for God’s sake!”
-Minister Whittaker

—The Minister of Science is the highest overall tester in the intelligence test. They are then trained by the sitting minister until the time comes to take their position.

—Current Minister: Minister Schmidt

—Uniform: The Minister of Science wears a white lab coat with a black dress shirt with a white tie.
