Faction Information

Summary

Verdict Day is a controversial organization that emerged as a leading humanitarian aid provider in the late 21st century. Officially, the group's mission is to provide relief and support to war-torn regions and impoverished nations, particularly in the aftermath of catastrophic events known as "verdict days"—days of significant geopolitical shifts, major conflicts, or disasters that reshape national boundaries and power structures. While the organization's public image is one of neutral benevolence, its intricate web of allegiances and clandestine dealings often leave rumors about the truth of their engagements.

Secretly funded with public donations from some of the largest and most influential megacorporations - Ares Macrotechnology, Horizon, and Saeder-Krupp—Verdict Day holds a delicate balance between altruism and corporate obligation. While its leadership claims to operate with independence and maintain neutrality, the truth is more complicated. These megacorps hold immense sway over where Verdict Day can deploy its resources, often steering the organization to areas where their own corporate interests are at stake. Yet, Verdict Day strives to maintain its autonomy, occasionally clashing with its backers when they attempt to exert too much control.

At the heart of Verdict Day's operations are two immense landships, sometimes referred to as megastructures; Motherwill and Answerer. Though lightly detailed to the public, these towering facilities represent the pinnacle of humanitarian logistics. Both structures are equipped to handle a wide array of operations...

Forestation Efforts

Utilizing cutting-edge ecological technologies, Motherwill and Answerer are capable of accelerating reforestation and environmental restoration in regions ravaged by war or natural disaster.

Humanitarian Deliveries

The megastructures can deploy vast quantities of food, medical supplies, and shelter materials with remarkable speed, reaching even the most inaccessible areas.

Search and Rescue

Advanced drones, surveillance technology, and VTOL aircraft assist in locating survivors in dangerous and devastated zones, ensuring that aid is delivered to those in the most dire need.

Long-range Communication

Equipped with powerful communication arrays, Verdict Day's megastructures can re-establish communication networks in conflict zones, acting as information hubs for displaced populations and local governments.

Refueling Operations

Mobile fuel platforms integrated into Motherwill and Answerer allow the organization to support both its own operations and the energy needs of allies in the field.

However, the resources of Verdict Day have not gone unnoticed by governments and corporations eager to capitalize on their logistical prowess. In regions of operation, particularly in the volatile landscapes of Northwestern and Southeastern Europe and extending to the Middle East, Verdict Day's presence has often been co-opted by local military forces or private entities for shady reasons. Humanitarian convoys have been rerouted for undisclosed purposes, search and rescue operations have been used as cover for intelligence gathering, and ecological restoration projects have been twisted to displace unwanted populations or alter local resources to favor political allies.

In this murky realm of blurred intentions, Verdict Day's highly trained operatives are as much warriors as they are saviors, navigating a battlefield that sometimes even their own employees question. The organization itself has become less of a symbol for peace and more so as controlling thinly-veiled, third party, deniable asset superiority weapons.
