TETRS (called 'Tetris') is a military organization that operates outside the normal chain of Terran military command. TETRS is a small but effective organization, recruiting only the best that Terra has to offer, training and preparing them for any combat-related circumstances. The special forces of the Terran military, TETRS troopers are promptly dispatched into any situation that might threaten Terran security.

((TETRS is constructed completely out of individual roleplayers. One roleplayer = one TETRS trooper. According to RPG laws, a group with more players throws more weight.))

TETRS troopers are equipped with a wide variety of weapons and armor, the most prominent being the ANDEE Battle Suit.



Designed by Cleo Eriaji and worked on extensively by a host of Terran scientists, the ANDEE represents the pinnacle of Terran infantry defensive technologies. The ANDEE is composed of the strongest materials throughout galaxy, including:

Impervium: a dislocated metal alloyed from the alien metals pullum and silicis, found on the planet Fundam, located in the Carina-Sagittarius Arm of the Milky Way galaxy. Pullum and silicis are smelted together to alloy impervium, but only through extreme heat. Impervium has a solidus point of 1.3 million degrees Fahrenheit, and a liquidis point of 1.5 million degrees Fahrenheit.

Exceptionally tough, hard and durable, impervium is the metal alloy used in the Terran ANDEE. The entire Plate of the armor is almost completely comprised of impervium. Because of its superior strength and high-melting point, the alloy is practically impervious to lead, plasma, and most other piercing, heat or smashing attacks. Impervium is also extremely magnetic (30,000 gauss), and is in fact held together in the ANDEE design via a series of densely energized internal magnetic fields.

Muteki: a metallic liquid found on the planet Peniculus in the Crux-Scutum Arm of the Milky Way galaxy, Muteki has been christened “Tek” by TETRS troopers. Muteki liquid has the ability to absorb massive amounts of energy, a trait which proved extremely useful in furthering the defensive capabilities of the ANDEE. The substance was molecularly frozen and incorporated into the armor. A thick layer is plastered over the Plate, while a Muteki “gel” substance flows freely throughout the Pillar. Two densely concentrated “gems” of Muteki are also embedded in the palms of the ANDEE.

The ANDEE armor consists of four layers: The Plate, Pillar, Foam and Skin.

Plate: the outer section of the armor, and the only layer that is completely exposed to the environment. The Plate is constructed entirely out of high carbon impervium, a dislocated metal alloyed from alien elements. Only the hellish core of a Neutron Star (1.5 Million ºF) can generate the heat required to forge impervium.

Pillar: an elastic shell just below the Plate. It serves a myriad of important purposes essential to the functionality of the ANDEE. Its primary function is structural support. The Pillar keeps the ANDEE closely knitted together through a series of densely energized magnetic fields. The Pillar is also responsible for movement throughout the system. A neurological transmitter at the base of a TETRS trooper's neck connects to his central nervous system. The pathway collects chemical signals released by the brain and transmits them into kinetic action. Whatever the trooper tells the suit to do in his mind, it does. The Pillar seals the remaining two layers of armor, air-locking the trooper from a potentially hostile environment. Muteki Gel flows freely throughout the Pillar, offering significant protection and further absorption of energy concentrates.

The Foam: a thick layer of protective foam separating the Pillar from the Skin. Engineered to absorb up to 10 million Newtons of force, the Foam is capable of protecting the trooper's structure from even the most powerful exertion of force or shock wave of energy.

Skin: the final layer of the ANDEE. Thin and tight, it clings closely to the trooper's body like a jumpsuit. The Skin is responsible for accommodating all of the trooper's biological needs, as well as maintaining reasonable living conditions throughout ANDEE in general. An extensive temperature regulator keeps the entire suit at a safe temperature in even the most extreme environments, while a Thermal Disruptor nullifies his heat signature. A particle filter prevents any poisons or toxins from entering into the trooper's system, including radiation and electromagnetic waves. The Skin's bioscan technology sterilizes and seals any prevalent injuries upon detection (although series medical attention is not something ANDEE is able to give). Jutting from the Skin along the shoulders, back, and quadriceps are a series of energy generators, which supply a constant shield of densely protective energy around the Plate, in addition to the Muteki Gel coat.

Directly in the center chest plate of the ANDEE is the Fusion Reactor. Arguably the most important piece of the armor, the Fusion Reactor supplies seemingly limitless power to the ANDEE.

A tribute to the Terran National Government and Terran nationalism? I think so! Julia Marie Ecklar, pseudonym L. A. Graf, is an author and musician signed to Prometheus Music. She has written a few of the Star Trek novels as well as other science fiction. Her musical genre is "filk," or science-fiction folk music (although plenty of folks debate over how to define filk), a genre which I suspect is perpetuated and adored by the Autistic community, as it is closely tied to science-fiction conventions and other informal gatherings of us "sci-fi geeks."

God Lives on Terra by Julia Ecklar.

Lyrics:

I was born in Inverness on the second day of spring,
But my soul yearned to sail the stars, my heart did long to sing.
So when I made my sixteenth year I signed my life away
And flew out from this world to which with joy I come today.

Now somewhere in Eighth Sector there's a world called Hellendiv
Where long ago the spacefolk did decide the gods did live.
And, aye, that world is heavenly, but Heaven it not be,
For my God made my heart and made the land most dear to me.

For God lives on Terra,
In her lands of evergreen.
Her silken skies over velvet vales
The most lovely I have seen.
And when I watch a sunset
Fade from red to royal blue,
I know God lives on Terra.
She's His own dream come true.

I've seen the sun on Rakkis, and I've felt her golden sands,
On Wrigley's I once won a bet, and I've held a queen's fair hand,
And I've made love in the summer snows of a Rigel mountain cap,
And seen the Universe unfold on Pern from dragonback.

Yes, I've seen this whole grand galaxy, and I thank the Lord for that.
I thank God for the chance to go, and the chance to now come back.
And I thank the Lord that I was born in the cradle of mankind.
I love the God who made this world whose beauty outlives time.

For God lives on Terra,
In the hearts and souls of man.
Why search the stars for lost Eden's shores
When He made her right at hand?
The beauties of her blueness
Always moves my heart to tears,
For God so loved Terra
That He chose to live right here.

Yes, God lives on Terra.
He lives and loves right here.

New project! The TNG now has a Wikispaces account. Please take a look at what I've been working on for the last day or so. If you have suggestions for edits or new pages, post in the discussion tab of the home page. Thank you.

Government Center Rooftop and Promenade: Here you will find access to the Terran flag flying from the highest spire of Government Center as well as a pleasant white stone walkway and well-tended flower boxes. Don't look down if you're afraid of heights. Don't come here, for that matter, if it's raining, snowing, or thundering.


Due to the Libertarian-Conservative majority in Parliament, nearly all of the “Federal Liaison” offices are staffed by less than two people who are responsible for their particular specialities and liaising with regional offices related to the same.
