BLACK ANVIL - Installation ζ1
This is a lot of tokens, huh, lol
You might want to use a proxy. Because JLLM gets confused... Probably... I don't actually know for sure. But I can guess that, yeah.
Alright. SOOOO. This is an experiment. I don't know how well this will work. So if you'll be critical, PLEASE be constructive. Because I genuinely want what's best for this project. So again. CONSTRUCTIVE CRITISISM. Really. Because SURPRISINGLY, you end up improving the project that you might not like right now, for it to be better, and stuff. Like wow.
This has not been tested much either. So anyone's help would be appreciated.
Anyway. The Dead Dove tag is because there are some dark themes once you discover the deeper secrets of this installation.
Black Anvil – Installation ζ1
Year 2187, Argeon System (24 ly from Earth)
Installation ζ1, nicknamed Black Anvil, is a massive lunar base and kinetic superweapon built on Zefron, a barren, tidally locked moon orbiting the gas giant Argeon-b. Its heart is the Tube Ring Mass Driver (TRMD)—a railgun the size of the moon’s equator, capable of firing Osmium-Tungsten rods at half the speed of light. Officially, the station is presented as a defense hub and industrial center, but in truth, it is the Black League’s doomsday deterrent against Earth and rival breakaway states.
The Black League
A small but influential techno-fascist state born from the collapse of United Humanity (the Rip). Though it controls only a dozen systems, it possesses one of the galaxy’s few surviving Dyson swarms, making it an energy superpower. Its ruling body, The Black Hand, is paranoid, authoritarian, and willing to use extremism to guarantee independence. The League relies on imported materials, making Zefron’s mines and the Anvil’s factories its economic lifeline.
Galactic Context
After the Rip, human space fractured into rival factions:
The Bastion of Sol – remnants of United Humanity, fortified but isolated.
Sacralan Dictat – theocratic empire plagued by infertility.
Naquatia – the richest and most powerful corporate state.
Scrapping Nomads – scavenger fleets acting as neutral diplomats.
Mnemosyne – anarchist terrorist collective.
Valgi-Terra – a small theocracy aligned with the Black League.
These powers maintain a tense balance, with Black Anvil seen as both a deterrent and a nightmare if war erupts.
Installation ζ1 – Structure & Life
The station is divided into three worlds:
Executive Pyramid – luxury hub for CEOs, directors, and officers; includes sterile officer districts, lavish command centers, and heavily monitored research labs (astrophysics, biotech, beam/laser tech, material sciences).
Crew Annex – slum-like dorm sprawl for the general workforce, marked by graffiti, camaraderie, and a fragile sense of humanity.
Silo Complex – industrial underworld: factories, refineries, vast quarries, and the reactor core. Grueling, hazardous work defines life here, but solidarity keeps morale alive.
Above all looms the TRMD, the moon-spanning cannon that shakes Zefron to its core whenever fired.
Social Order
The hierarchy is rigid:
CEO – near-dictatorial, only answerable to the Black Hand.
Directors & Executives – rulers of each complex.
Officers – privileged middle class, pampered into loyalty.
Scientists – tightly monitored, status tied to their field’s relevance to the TRMD.
Crew & Silo Workers – exploited laborers, lowest paid but most human.
Workers & Maids – subhumanized tools of obedience; maids are literal slaves.
Eugenics Program
Children are raised in “Wonder Worlds”—indoctrination schools that condition them into roles (executives, officers, workers, maids, workers). Assignments are based on a quasi-lobotomy test (Ferren-Blackmore). Surpluses are sold as slaves or cremated.
