Mission

The overarching objective of Solas Tempus remains steadfast in its commitment to safeguarding the integrity of the timeline from any attempts at manipulation or alteration. This primary mission compels the organization to proactively intervene whenever history is threatened, thereby ensuring the preservation of the past for future generations.

Beyond their time-travel operations, Solas Tempus also engages in a multitude of secondary missions that encompass a broad spectrum of activities. Among these endeavors, research and development initiatives stand as a cornerstone, driving the continuous advancement of technological innovation and scientific knowledge within the organization. By pushing the boundaries of understanding, Solas Tempus bolsters its capabilities to confront the ever-evolving challenges that arise in the temporal realm.

Moreover, recognizing the intricate interplay between temporal dynamics and political landscapes, Solas Tempus undertakes political operations to protect and advance its interests. In a complex web of alliances, negotiations, and diplomatic maneuvers, the organization actively seeks to secure favorable outcomes that align with their overarching mission. By leveraging their unique temporal insights and resources, Solas Tempus maneuvers within the intricate tapestry of power, ensuring that the past, present, and future align in a harmonious continuum.

However, amidst these endeavors, a shadowy specter looms—the existence of an unknown organization intent on manipulating the timeline through intermediaries operating within the temporal periods encountered by Solas Tempus. Although concrete information about this insidious group remains elusive, the organization has assigned it the enigmatic Codename Onyx. With utmost urgency, Solas Tempus has designated the acquisition of intelligence on this elusive organization as a primary objective. Through relentless investigation, surveillance, and covert operations, Solas Tempus endeavors to pierce the veil of secrecy surrounding Onyx, unraveling their true motives and unveiling their clandestine operations.

Driven by an unwavering dedication to preserving the integrity of the timeline, safeguarding their territories, assets, and interests, Solas Tempus marshals its formidable resources to counter the threats that lurk within the temporal realm. The Serenity Concord can rest assured that their steadfast defenders stand vigilant, resolute in their mission to protect the past, present, and future from the encroachment of temporal malevolence.

Leadership

Sal D'Amico: Fleet Admiral, Leader of Solas Tempus
D. S. Renton: Admiral, Leader of Gold Team
Lance Thomas: Admiral, Leader of Blue Team
Kerman Simon: Admiral, Leader of Green Team

Facilities

Starbase Tranquility: Base of operations, orbiting Markab Prime.
Ronin Shipyards: Primary shipyards and refit center.
Starbase Pandora: Pandoric Rift station, operations and access classified.
Nimbus Station: Military research facility in the Schatten Star System.
Serenity Station: Spaceport and transit facility orbiting Soteria in the Schatten Star System.
Umbral Station: Manages the Umbral Rift as well as the shipyards in the Schatten Star System.
Umbral Shipyards: Covert operations shipyards and repair station in the Schatten Star System.
Integro Base: Earth's Moon.

Organizational Structure

Solas Tempus is divided into three primary arms of operation. Engineering, Science / Research, and Action.

Green Team: Responsible for all engineering projects, both civil and military. They research / build new facilities, starships, and any other construction which Solas Tempus needs.
Gold Team: Responsible for all scientific projects, focusing mostly on those dealing with time travel both theoretical and experimental. This organization is also responsible for the medical initiatives, including disease research and prevention as well as humanitarian aid operations.
Blue Team: The military action division of Solas Tempus deals directly with temporal incursions, intelligence, covert action, military operations, defensive projects, and security work.

Standard Systems

Solas Tempus uses the ALICE Interface as the standard computer interface, though it is not a sentient AI it does learn and configure itself for the user, identified either by voice command or their communicator. Their primary communicator is the Solas Tempus Communicator and primary data / scanning device is the Vertex Scanner. Both the communicator and the scanner are freely available in civilian models, though only Solas Tempus itself has access to the military versions.

They also make heavy use of AI's, every vessel is assigned a Master Systems AI (MSAI) and operatives are often paired with AI's, though it is not mandatory. Other standard systems in use are the SPERO devices, which are used as markers and security / surveillance drones in Solas Tempus facilities. The standard communications network is BlueNet with the master AI for the organization being HAL 9000, though those assigned an AI partner often use that partner for systems interface.

Androids use the Mark 1 Humanoid Android Body, which is also freely available to any AI with a demarkation between military and civilian models as well. The Multinodal Core is also standard across facilities, Solas Tempus also provides these for AI's wishing to use them and with a purpose for doing so. The freedom of AI's to escape from the confines of their program as well as expand themselves is at the center of this and other policies by both Solas Tempus and the Serenity Concord. The XIA's are also provided to officials, with permission of their controlling AI's, as assistants across the Concord.

All facilities and vessels are also equipped with automated repair systems in the Mark 1S Active Repair System along with the use of the Astromech Droids who maintain, repair, and otherwise service facilities and vessels.

-Strong evidence suggests that an unknown organization is attempting to manipulate the timeline through intermediaries local to the time period of Solas Tempus.  Since there is no concrete information about this, a primary objective for Solas Tempus is to locate and gather intelligence on an organization that has been designated under [[Codename Onyx]].

-Most [[:Category:Starfleet|Federation]] worlds do not use currency, Solas Tempus also does not.  For organization members are paid with resource credits that allow for management of resources, these credits are in addition to necessities of life such as food, shelter, clothing, etc..  Within the organization it is likely that any particular member who needs more resources within reason will get them.
-Outside the organization money is still seldom used and trade of goods and services prevails as the primary method of getting parts, supplies, and fuel needed.  Because of the well renowned skill at refitting and repairing ships and parts this is mostly what the group barters with.  Most peaceful ships are allowed to utalize the [[Ronin Shipyards]] facility and work our a deal with the Engineering Arm for compensation.
