Baton

Living in a solar system of populated with life the Baton Empire has found the middle ground of living with its citizens, the environment, and to the best it can, other civilizations. A race that values honor. The originator of this Empire proclaimed that he would always supply the best with the best. All citizens work hard for what they do. But the harder they work, they better tools, equipment, and aid they receive. Baton Prime is simply a paradise. Baton VI is the Environmental research for the system. It also houses Embassy's for other nations. Baton VII has many visitors due to its massive Research Centers.

The Baton Empire is a peaceful one, but don’t let that fool you, if provoked, they will retaliate. Immense industry can be found on Baton II. There is even rumors of a secret fleet in the system.

Like any other nation, they have their problems. Law and order are kept by the Military. A strict watch is kept over all inhabitants of the system. Small mistakes are always known and can have big consequences. But as the ancient Baton saying goes, "Little risk, little reward".

Thank you for letting Baton into your life's. Please come and explore for yourself.

How Baton Works
Built upon the search for knowledge, the Batonians, are a people of attaining what they need to know… by any means necessary. The main thought is, have the best science division and you will have the best weapons to take what knowledge you need and shoot anybody that stands in your say. They are divided into 3 main sections.

Research
The cornerstone of a great civilization. Without this, how can a people change into something new and better?

This is split up into 3 Divisions:

1. Political Know your enemy. This Division take pride in knowing what everyone else knows, before everyone else knows it. Black Ops from the Military section works closely with these researches. Everyone has a past and it's these peoples job to find it.

2. Militant They make the big guns to shoot the big guys… or small guys. If crap is going down, they have made the weapons for it.

3. Environmental Not tree huggers, but respect needs to be shown for what we have. This division takes care of all worlds under control of Batonian Empire.

Military
What is an Empire without someone to enforce the law? A wasteland The main principle of this military is the better you work, the better equipment you will have to work with. The military of Baton has many Divisions. Some are more known then others. And some don’t even "exist".

1. Ground Troops Intense training for fitness and mental strength. This is not an easy place to be, but if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. The better you are, the better weapons you will have and the better you can kill your enemy. Builders from the Military Division in Section 3 work closely with these guys on all ground units.

2. Interstellar Navy This one is defiantly a big expense for the Empire. The Navy is split up into several different fleets. - Baton Home Fleet Most Navy recruits start out here to get their space legs. If there is an issue in system, this fleet will respond.

- Expansion Fleet 1 (Cobra Fleet) This Fleet sits at the entrance and exit of the solar system. One can never be to carful as to how comes and goes. A smaller fleet sure, but they have heavy firepower and are a great defense for the system.

- Expansion Fleet 2

On the record, it doesn’t exist. Some say they lay in wait under the oceans of Baton III. Others say they mask their energy signature behind the suns radiation. All that is known is that when a person gets to good at their job, they "disappear".

- The Reserve Fleet The reserve operates as an extra defense fleet that is stationed around Baton VI. But in reality, this fleet is an attack fleet. At a moment's notice then can be almost anywhere with deadly aim.

3. Black Ops Not much is know. You know they are on your side, but they operate as they see fit.

4. Temporal Anomalies Is it really time to talk about this??

Building/Upkeep
You can't have an empire without buildings, factories, and Sanitation. Often looked down upon in other civilizations, the Baton people have a whole month of celebration in their 14 month calendar year to show their appreciation for these hard workers. They are divided into two different main categories:

1. Builders - Militant These guys work with Ground Troop and the Navy to build the weapons of War that are researched.

- Environmental Need medical, fire, restaurants, parks? These guys got you. A crew of master builders and architects. They love what they do and are good at it.

2. Sanitary workers They are everywhere. A clean working environment is a good working environment.
