New Militia Groups

Always wantingto be the first to deliver metanews to you we had to share this tasty tidbit we just got our hands on!

To all current Militia Personnel and others of an interested nature:

Following the recent attack on Galaxy City by a Shivan strike force, the Militia Oversight Committee has met to discuss the implications of this tragedy and how we should respond appropriately to it. The Committee believes this to be a crisis of national scale and sends its condolences to all those affected by the event.

In the past year, we have seen an increase in potential threats from beyond our borders, be they our dimensional borders or those outside of our own atmosphere. These threats have had a devastating affect on the city from the decimation of parts of Skyway and Kings Row to the total destruction of Galaxy City. With this increase of high risk threats, we believe that it is time for the Militia to meet these new threats head on. The Militia has an excellent track record for dealing with street crime but has proven time and again that it is capable of operating beyond these boundaries.

Therefore, the Committee has petitioned the Militia Trust to approve funding for a dedicated team of heroes to meet and neutralise these threats to our peace and the peace of all on Earth. The Trust has agreed to meet these costs and therefore we are pleased to commission the team dubbed Militia Prime.

We will be accepting applications from heroes no lower than Security Level 45 for this team shortly to join those already being considered for a role.

Likewise, we are aware of the tremendous efforts that have been made by not only our current team but also other heroes and ‘would be’ heroes in the efforts to rescue citizens from Galaxy and secure the zone. The temporary offices of Hero Corps and the registration desk at City Hall has been overflowing with citizens eager to do their part and assist with the aid effort. The FSBA has requested that existing hero teams do what they can to assist in training and utilising these peoples’ unique talents.

Therefore, we have also requested additional funding from the Militia Trust to run another class of the highly successful Militia Academy program. This program has already seen many graduating members become full time, nationally acclaimed heroes. These heroes, who already provide a sterling service to the city may choose to assist in the training of the new class. The new recruits will, just as our previous classes, come from many walks of life and will need help in achieving their full potential and it is the Committee’s belief that the Militia is up to the challenge of achieving this. We have no doubts that the expert training and accepting environment of the Militia will enable our recruits to grow as heroes and overcome any challenges presented to them by their former lives.

Our press office will be happy to accept any enquiries regarding this announcement. 

A new group of world-saviours to watch take on the big threats and a class of brand new heroes from all works of life all under the umbrella of The Militia Trust? Excited? Hell Yes!

(PS: Don't ask us how we got our hands on this, really, we can't tell you!)

A Change in Motives?

The Corporation brands thenight sky - Oct 2nd 2011

Whilst it's never possible to predict the next move of most metahuman groups, especially ones located in the Rogue Isles, it seems things have been shaken up more than usual lately. As much as we'd like things to sometimes be the clearcut 'Good vs Evil' we see in our Saturday morning cartoons it's really not that simple and in the cold light of various recents events (Praetorian Invasions and the catastophe of Galaxy City) we're starting to see metahumans changing their standpoints.

'Villains' have been seen helping refugees escape the turmoil of Galaxy City out of nothing more than the goodness of their hearts. 'Heroes' have grown untrusting of their colleagues, fearing the effects of Praetoria, some indulging in more vigilante behaviour. It seems even individuals and groups whose morals seemed to be set in stone have been shaken making the metascene one big headache.

In days gone by there were whispers about The Corporation and how the band of professional criminals operated. Despite a lackof specifics, one thing was clear, they were always professional, strikes made quickly and if it could be avoided civilians were kept out of the way. Their recent attacks on Paragon however show a bizarre degree of ego. Individual members of the group have been prone to bravado in the past but the firework that branded the Paragon skyline was truly baffling. Has The corporation stopped working professionally for money and started to indulge in villainous acts purely to serve their own ends? Are they declaring war on Paragon while rumours state that Arachnos already have bounties on some of their heads? What are we missing?
