U.R.C. Remnant

The U.R.C. Remnant maintains a militarized chain of command patterned after the original United Ranger Core but stripped of formal titles above Rear Admiral. Allena Gavanish, though self-styled as Supreme Commander, holds de facto control over all operations. Fleet Command is segmented by operational zone, with each commander having full autonomy until coordinated conflict arises. Intelligence and covert operations operate under the Remnant Internal Intelligence Cell (RIIC), which serves as both security and black operations wing.   Allena Gavanish – Supreme Commander of the Remnant   Zone Admirals – Each overseeing regional fleet assets   RIIC Director – Head of internal operations, logistics, and classified ops   Support Corps – Logistics, repair, and civilian infrastructure   Ground Arms – Adapted Ranger ground divisions acting as marines or security forces

Publicly condemned as a terrorist organization, the Remnant frames itself as a resistance movement. Their stated goals are:   The dissolution of the Sapphire Empire in its current form   The restoration of independent inter-realm governance   The exposure of perceived coercion and manipulation behind Salena Athomath’s rise   The release of all believed political detainees and dissident military officers

Fleet Assets   Roughly 500 starships divided among six full operational fleets, including:   ~35 Dreadnought-class command vessels, many retrofitted with deep-range communication blackboxes and fleet coordination arrays   ~70 Assault Carriers, acting as both troop transports and mobile field hospitals or housing for civilian enclaves   ~150 Cruiser- and Frigate-class ships for patrol, reconnaissance, and harassment missions   ~50 dedicated Logistics and Resupply vessels, converted from commercial or colonial haulers   Dozens of Interceptor wings and modular escort craft designed for screening, ECM interference, and flanking maneuvers   Ships operate with full modular flexibility—many outfitted with mobile habitation, foundries, sensor shrouds, or even agricultural greenhouses for long-duration autonomy   UNIS-stripped systems throughout; every vessel operates using legacy firmware and compartmentalized data control   Facilities and Infrastructure   Mobile Shipyards: Retro-engineered orbital docks capable of assembling modular hulls from salvaged material; relocated frequently   Deep Void Stations: Hollowed-out asteroids, abandoned colonial outposts, and artificial habitats used for temporary anchoring, resupply, and low-visibility staging   Surface Hideouts: Planetary black sites, buried anchorages, and cloaked atmospheric depots on sympathetic or overlooked worlds   Maintenance Cells: Mobile units with field repair capability for hull patches, energy cell reconstruction, and reactor recalibration   Logistics and Supply Chains   Fuel processors for antimatter, grav-cell charging, and converted plasma refineries   Black-market and barter-based supply networks with independent smugglers and sympathizers   Internal hydroponic and zero-g agriculture systems aboard larger carriers and stations   Manual courier systems for data and communications to prevent interception   Military Forces   Full divisions of ex-Ranger ground troops, including:   Heavy Drop Brigades equipped for orbital insertion   Cold Commando Units trained for vacuum boarding actions and station assault   Fleet Marines stationed aboard capital ships for internal and boarding defense   Independent Remnant-trained militia from aligned planetary populations   Assorted exo-suits, planetary walkers, and scavenged tech refitted for mobile warfare   Intelligence & Cyber Assets   RIIC (Remnant Internal Intelligence Cell):   Executes black operations, counterintelligence, and infiltration assignments   Manages Remnant signal shielding and internal data retention policies   Custom encryption protocols entirely separate from UNIS grids   Network of embedded agents and sympathizers in outer Imperial zones and neutral territories   Specialized Systems   “Ghost Relays”: Hardened transmission nodes using low-bandwidth directional pulse technology   Stealth Fields and Spectrum Scatterers for vessel concealment   Experimental Time-Lag Buffers to delay signal discovery during inter-fleet transmissions   Forbidden prototype systems from U.R.C. vaults, stripped during defection and modified in secrecy (locations and functionality unknown)

The Remnant was born in the shadows of the Empire’s formation. When Supreme Commander John Gavanish formally pledged loyalty to the new Imperial regime, his daughter Allena Gavanish—alongside key fleet commanders—objected. Within weeks, six fleets vanished. For the next three years, the Remnant remained largely silent—relocating, fortifying, and gathering support. It wasn't until after the breach of the Sapphire Palace’s data infrastructure that the Remnant began its campaign against the Empire's major shipping lanes.   Following the failed assassination and kidnapping attempt of the Imperial Family, the Remnant was formally designated as a terrorist faction. In the years since, they have remained mobile, striking Imperial infrastructure, data vaults, and supply lines, while evading direct confrontation with primary fleet forces.

Estimated active population exceeds 12.4 million, accounting for the full spectrum of military personnel, civilian support staff, defected families, and localized populations from sympathetic planetary governments. These numbers include full ship complements, mobile station crews, agricultural and technical specialists, as well as non-combatant communities integrated into planetary installations and deep-space flotillas. The demographic makeup is heavily skewed toward former U.R.C. members and Alliance defectors, with substantial populations of unaffiliated realm migrants. The societal structure blends military with long-term adaptive settlement, cultivating a persistent culture of defiance, communal interdependence, and ideological cohesion in exile.

No formal holdings; the Remnant exists entirely through mobile fleets, hidden anchor stations, and brief planetary footholds. All claimed territory is considered illegal under Imperial law.

Technological parity with pre-Empire U.R.C. forces. While lacking the full scientific reach of Imperial centers, the Remnant compensates through:   Repurposed and modified U.R.C. systems   Reverse-engineered communications and stealth modules   Homebrew encryption protocols and anti-trace packet handling   An aggressive culture of field innovation and black-market augmentation   While no longer cutting-edge, their ships and systems remain dangerous, especially when coordinated. The Remnant purposefully strips all UNIS-aligned technology from their systems, considering it compromised by Imperial oversight. This includes standardized networking tools, relay firmware, and command protocols—forcing them to rely on legacy architectures, manual synchronization, and independently developed relay protocols to maintain operational security.
