Fre’ma Sept History

During the second expansion, it came to the attention of the Ethereal council that the minerals used in the production of many of the battlesuit and vehicle systems used in the enforcement of the greater good, where running out. The stock piles of one critical mineral called Fre, or green crystal was beginning to expire. A rear super conductor, it was essential in the production of electronics and in particular, the infamous rail gun. It is named after the state it is found in, a green crystal. The crystal was naturally found on Tau also, but not in great quantity and as the war for the greater food progressed, almost all of the available green crystal has been used up. The Ethereal council announced that when a new habitable planet was found, it was to be scaned for traces of Fre so that the greater good my be obtained all the sooner.

Years passed uneventfully while the wars dragged on. Then a gem was discovered. A snowy world that had an irregular electro-magnetic field several times the strength of a normal planet that size. Scattered all over the planet were immense pillars of stone. At the heart of these pillars, supporting them was fre. The crystal was so powerful that it caused the electro-magnetic field to flux while giving it enormous strength. The creatures on the planet were strange to look at. Resonating with the power created by the crystals.

A colony was created consisting of members from all chases to build and harvest the Fre. The sept was named Fre’ma and was tasked to mine, refine and use the excess minerals to produce the vital battle suits and vehicles that would be the core forces of the greater good.

The Fre’ma sept was undefended however. The council of ethereals declared that the Fre’ma sept was to begin to produce a military force to protect and defend the vital deposit of Fre that the world was home too, as well as being the core force in searching for more of the vital substance if the need arose.

The uniform worn by the fire warriors of the Fre’ma sept I based white to blend into the snowbound terrain of there home planet. There sept markings are dark green, the colour of the great fre in its basic form. This is to reflect there origin and purpose, to protect the greater good through guarding the few deposits of fre available to the tau.

Despite the cold temperature of the planet, (about -2oC on average) there is a large amount of life, mostly in the form of vegetation found at the lower altitudes. This is mostly due to the intense light from the native star. The planet does not heat because of the coating of snow which reflects almost all heat back into space but the light is strong enough to heat and support the organisms that use it to survive.
