ATLAS
[WIP]
Hurrah! Hurrah! For Human rights hurrah! Hurrah for the Black Flag!
History
The party was founded early in the creation of the second alliance, as a support organization for Terran colonists to the new frontier worlds, which of course were funded by the Terra Nova Corporation a Colony Contracting corporation, traditionally owned by leaders of the Party. Eventually the support movement radicalized into a political party that stood for “Human Rights”, originally this was quite moderate and peaceful, with only minor restrictions being wanted for Xenos, and a Registration program for all that worked inside of the Alliances. That changed after leadership shifted from Maik Berger to Theodor Dalman. Following this change the Party started using mass politics and populism to draw support pointing out the flaws in the Modern Sol government, all the while criticising its association with aliens such as the Skrell, and Tajarra. Since then ATLAS has gained a massive boost in members and support.
Present Day
ATLAS currently holds 29% of the seats in Parliament and 32% in the Senate. Their coalition with GAIA has given them a very strong voice in the federal government. Due to recent events several ATLAS members have stopped supporting the current Prime Minister Theodore Chater. The colation is slowly starting to crumble.
Their current leader is Marcus van Schildknecht, a 78 year old Ex-Admiral of the Sol Navy. He is a very conservative man and wants to severly restrict the rights of xenos within the Sol Alliance, something he might achieve very soon due to ATLAS political power.
Internal Branches
ATLAS has three major branches and several small ones. The 3 major branches have a head which reports to the ATLAS leader.
Paramilitary
Head of Internal Security: Commander Freddie West Head of External Affairs: Commander John Brown
ATLAS has a paramilitary branch since ATLAS leader Theodor Dalman was attacked during a speech.
Internal Security: Responsible to keep all assests and members of ATLAS safe as long as they are on ATLAS property. Their gear is comparable with the gear of a NT Security Officer. External Affairs: Responsible for escorting important ATLAS assets and members. They are being sent out in case ATLAS property gets attacked somewhere within the Sol Alliance, they are equipped with ballistic weaponry.
Medical
Chief Doctor: MPH Adriana Watkins
The Medical branch of ATLAS provides free medical support to all members of ATLAS. Only the HQ of ATLAS has this branch, it consists of the Chief Doctor, 4 Medical Doctors, 1 Chemist, 1 Surgeon and 2 Nurses. After a terror attack on the HQ in 2446 it was the Medical Branch of ATLAS that saved 13 ATLAS members and 6 Human Civilians. 5 xenos died.
Propaganda
Head of Propaganda: Jeremy Harrington
This branch was created by Theodore Dalman after he became the leader of ATLAS. They are responsible for any ATLAS speeches, posters and advertisement. Ever since this branch was created ATLAS gained massive public support and members due to some humans fear of xenos.
