Tues. Dec 4, 3049: Sian University in uproar over teacher’s arrest by the Maskirovka for “sedition against the state.”

[GriefHard]

Probably not the first teacher to be arrested! Once more a reason to liberate that totalitarian state and free their poor inhabitants! For a free will, for freedom of speech!

Come to where the flavor is - come to House Steiner! We are the good guys!

Maskirovka

In 2396, Kurnath chartered the formation of the Capellan Maskirovka, on the foundation of the older Capellan Deimosis. This new intelligence service, initially created as an information-gathering agency, would eventually evolve into a highly efficient (and highly feared) secret police.

Sian University

Though it cannot match the facilities of the famed New Avalon Institute of Science (NAIS), Sian University has made impressive gains in the past decade. Its large main campus lies just outside Sian's capial city of Zi-jin Cheng. and satellite campuses are scattered across the planet. Under orders from successive Chancellors, the university never turns away a qualified applicant for lack of facilities. Educating Capellans to the highest levels of which they are worthy can only benefit the nation. However, some leeway exists in the definition of "worthy".

Sian University hosts the CCAF's lauded Officer Candidate Program, also known as the Hen gao Xiao-l
ù, the High Path. The OCP takes all officer candidates from the Center for Martial Disciplines as well as several hundred who transfer annually from other academies or return from active duty for command-level training. The Maskirovka conducts background checks and political assessments for all candidates. Only those transferring in from the Center for Martial Disciplines may have this second check waived. --Field Manual: Confederation Capella , pp. 47-48, "Sian University Profile"

Maskirovka is the Russian word for "camouflage"

The goal of maskirovka is to make the enemy concentrate his forces against false threats and uselessly expend his means of destruction on them.

Your google skills are amazing.

[Morgana]

Thank you Zivy, but it wasn't all just Google. The Sian University info was quoted out of the Confederation Capellan Field Manual. I threw itup for those that don't know the lore, so they can get a gist of what the statement is implying.

Yes, Piranha! Please keep making useless background stories and please make lrms go to 2000m and give them the ability to go through walls and please allow lrms to be shot underground so that this game can be the absolute coolest game ever nobody would even have to move. We could just sit in spawn shooting tremors at each other! Guys mechwarrior clearly is a way better game than chromehounds because lrms give you so much extra free time that you can always be shoving your favorite ****** up your pooter with no worries about missing your target!
