Janus Station 13 Wiki

This wiki is for the BYOND server Janus Station 13 on the Space Station 13 hub. It is a heavy roleplay server that emphasizes exploration of the planet of Janus-13 and interactions with the native fauna and flora. This server focuses on a sci-fi setting that has some fantastical elements.

The Galaxy
The year is 2443. The largest galactic power is known as the Terran Government, colloquially called ‘TerraGov’. It is a galactic super power in nearly all senses of the word. A juggernaut that is far too big to fail. Yet, equally suffers from critical cases of corruption, military crackdown, and sheer unrestrained authoritarianism. However, it is viewed with fanatic favoritism and its leading political figures have overwhelming positive popularity. For the Terran Government brings unity, order, and peace. Would you like to know more?

While TerraGov is extremely powerful in their own rights, it is a non-subtle fact that the megacorporation known as ‘NanoTrasen’ controls nearly everything within the lives of the average Terran Citizen. From cooking utensils, to computers, to military arms and armor. If it’s product, it is more likely than not to be created by NanoTrasen or a subsidiary of them.

Yet, the biggest opposition to the Terran Government is the Union of Liberated People. An undoubtedly communist regime created nearly 200 years ago. While certainly not matching the grandiosity of TerraGov, they are a long standing Republic with an equally powerful military. Neither side is willing to engage in direct or immediate conflict but it is not unheard of for border conflicts or mild sabre rattling between both nations; however, a galactic conflict would spell doom for everyone...

The Planet of Janus-13
On the farthest of the reaches of Terran control is the planet of Janus-13. However, now it has fallen between the borders of the Union and TerraGov. NanoTrasen has had claims on the planet of Janus-13 for some time now. Claiming there is extensive research that is critical to their operations. However, there have been multiple attempts already by the ULP to attempt to colonize the planet to no success. It has become apparent there is a species of tribal and highly territorial aliens. With the help of the subsidiary Terra Firma Colonization Initiative, they are there to help TerraGov and prospective colonists attempt to colonize the planet of Janus-13 and even try to reach a middle ground with the native people... However the ancient ruins on the planet may hold a darker secret than previously thought...
