• Nobles of Null is a forum based roleplay site where sci-fi and magic collide. Here, Earth remains fractured and divided despite humanity reaching out to the stars. Worse still, the trans-human slaves of one major power have escaped, only to establish their own Empire, seething with resentment at abuses of the past. Even the discovery of aliens, though medieval in development, has failed to rally these squabbling children of Earth together with its far darker implications. Worse still, is the discovery of the impossible - magic. Practiced by the alien locals, nearly depleted and therefore rare, its reality warping abilities remains abstract and distant to the general populace. All the while, unseen in the darkness of space, forces from without threaten to press in. For those with eyes opened by insight, it is clear that an era is about to end, and that a new age will dawn.

Guo Kong Fang/GKF/國空防/Republic Space Command/RSC is the primary military institution of the Heaven Forged Republic, due to the confederacy's interstellar nature, and that planetary forces are under the command of individual member states. The GKF is overseen by the Chancellor of the HFR and the Ministry of Defense, its top military officer being the Kongjun Shangjiang/空軍上將/Space Command High Admiral. The GKF is responsible for the security of interstellar and interplanetary space claimed by the HFR, stopping at spheres of influence of gravity wells claimed by each respective member state, along with the standardization of military assets amongst the confederate states. It also oversees civilian space traffic, tracking spacecraft transits and resolving anomalies through rescue missions and anti-piracy operations.

The GKF is the most powerful organization in the HFR's executive branch, involved in military, research, and civilian operations, its power only contested by the Republic Central Bank and the Ministry of Energy. Thus, the GKF is particularly scrutinized by Council members on a regular basis.

  • Taikong Luzhandui/太空陸戰隊/Space Marines- Mainstay infantry of the RSC
