The Envoy Corps was formed as a diplomacy-focused organization responsible for handling the Brotherhood's efforts to build a positive image on the greater stage of the Galaxy. While it might look like a public-relations gambit by the Brotherhood, the Council has put their full weight and support behind the Envoy Corps altruistic and philanthropic endeavors.

As the Brotherhood continues to find itself up against other powerful organizations in the Unknown Regions, Grand Master Evant Taelyan green lit a new initiative proposed by former High Councilor Alethia Archenksova in 40 ABY. This initiative would serve multiple purposes, with the primary being the improvement of the The Council's reputation with the seven Clans and their respective allies. Parallel in importance was the Brotherhood's image to both rivals and potential trade partners which, in theory, would lead to more opportunities for cementing their seat of power and the growth of commerce.

Alethia was appointed as the Brotherhood's first Exarch, and laid the foundation that would lead to eventual codification of the Envoy Corps.

When Archenksova was elevated to the Council role of Headmistress, she called upon a trusted college who been consulting remotely until that point. So it was that retired Voice of the Brotherhood - Marick Tyris Arconae - took over as the new Exarch. Tyris leveraged his extensive experience and background in overseeing the restructuring of the Inquisitorius, his respect with the active Council members aiding in clearing the administrative and technical hurdles required to bring the Envoy Corps to life.

With the Envoy Corps undertaking its first missions, Marick has begun to organize and deploy Brotherhood members and personnel.

Personnel

Envoy's come in all shapes and sizes. While the main body of the Envoy Corps is made up of members from all seven Clans of the Brotherhood, it also employees a diverse range of pilots, administrators, coordinators, and other resources from across the Galaxy. As their presence and impact grows within the Unknown Regions and expands towards the Outer Rim, the Exarch has made efforts to ensure that recruits come from different social and economical classes, by pulling promising graduates from universities, as well as visiting orphanages and working with veterans to help find new opportunities for them after careers of war.

Envoy's are not required to wear uniform, but can be often seen sporting the tailored threads bearing the Envoy Corps insignia across the chest.

Beyond that, there are a few recurring staff members that can often be found representing the Envoy Corps.

Charron Reddick


	Name: Charon Reddick Position: Concierge Faction: Envoy Corps Character Sheet

Having "retired" from active service as a Grand Inquisitor, Charon Reddick came out of retirement to help aid Exarch Marick Tyris Arconae in bolstering Envoy Corps operations. The two shared a long history working together in the Inquisitorius while Marick was serving as Voice. This relationship made it easy for Marick to trust Charon with being the "face" of the Envoy Corps as its "Concierge".

Charon carries the reputation of his former moniker: The Ferryman. Not only does he still retain one of the highest success rates for the number of missions he has successfully carried out, he was known, especially in his prime, for his ability to act the stoic executioner when called upon.

As was discovered during the recovery of stolen information from the Envoy Corps, he is also quite a fan of Eastern Expanse comic books and novella's and was revealed to have a sizable collection.

Steven Jerryson


	Name: Steven Jerryson Position: Pilot Faction: Envoy Corps Character Sheet

A young, upcoming pilot for the Envoy Corps. Took a jab at his confidence when, on his first flight and mission, he was ousted from the controls by an ambitious Envoy.

Naval Assets

Envoy Corps: Full List of Naval Assets

The Envoy Corps has been allotted three flights of Lamba-class T4a shuttles to help transport members of the Brotherhood to locations of need and to "carry" the Brotherhood's diplomatic banner.

They were also granted the use of a Charger c70 Consular-class Cruiser named The Urbanae.

Headquarters and Locations

While the Envoy Corps operates across the galaxy, the headquarters are centered in the Arx System

Lunar Training Facility

The Lunar Training Facility on Arx Minor serves as the base of operations for the Envoy Corps. It is where the Exarch's office is located, above which sits a detention and processing facility for bounties and contracts.

Exarch's Office

On the second floor of the Lunar Training Facility sits the Exarch's office. A long, sectional desk with multiple monitors and terminals sit beneath large viewports overlooking both planet Arx and the rest of Arx Minor. The cable management is impeccable, with no excess or clutter anywhere to be seen. Thanks to the current Exarch's preferences, there is a place for everything, neatly organized, and plenty of room for temporary documents, plans, or projects to be worked on. A full reception area can host a few guests, as well as a holoprojector for local presentations of missions or data. There is also a holocam station set up for the Exarch to send or record or send out mission briefings to Envoys in the field.

The Flitz

Arx Minor Location

The Flitz is a chain of luxury hotels that have been constructed around Brotherhood space. The main location, however, can be found on Arx Minor, open to any members of the Brotherhood's various societies that are passing through the Arx System. Liaisons for the Inquisitorius, Grand Master's Royal Guard, Shroud Syndicate are often stationed there, with full service concierge and amenities available to guests. It is also linked to the Lunar Training Facility.

The hotels themselves manifest as a wedge-shaped building made of dark, sleek moonstone mined from the core of Arx Minor. There is only a single entrance, always with a bright, glowing, golden light. Small square windows, symmetrical to the buildings design mimic the glow of the entrances inviting light.

Upon entering, sliding glass doors open to reveal a well lit lobby with plush couches and a bar with a long marble counter.

Two fountains flank the entry-way carpet that leads down the hall to the front desk, where Charon Reddick is usually found waiting. There is another linked hallway that leads to a secure underground meeting location for VIPs, and a connection to the Lunar Training Facility.

On the upper floor, and towards the rear of the facility is the Central Monitoring station, which allows security to keep an eye on the various amenities and hallways.

Eos City Location
Located in the heart of Arx's capital city, the guests that stay at the Eos City Flitz are usually VIPs doing work or having business with the Council, the Iron Forces, or the Aurora Collegium of Sciences. It features full executive amenities, dining, and valet parking vouchers.

The Shame Corner

In the dark of space along the Hydian Way, a black dwarf star sits, neither lonely nor forgotten. Its gravity well is used as an anchor for one of many millions of service stations and rest stops that dot the intergalactic space-routes: Station 0H40-S0, more fondly known as The Shame Corner. With connections to the Envoy Corps, the station provides not only respite and refueling for members bearing the insignia, but also serves as a port for any galactic denizen, and all kinds walk, hover, or wheel through its doors.

Upon arriving at the station, one can find plenty of options for docking at the port juncture, tunnels and halls of transparisteel glass revealing the pocketed gray and misty colors of the rock the structures are moored upon and the stars are beyond, frequent flashes of light belying ships entering or exiting hyperspace. All walkways eventually lead to one central hub, a sprawl of neatly organized buildings that provide various amenities. Inside the main hub, surprising bursts of homeliness and color contrast to the stark durasteel, various accoutrements and accents of wood, tiling, and other materials making a hodgepodge of a living space and general store stitched together over time. A bar area sits to the farthest right of the entrance, restrooms directly ahead past check counters, aisles and aisles of products in between. To the left are coolers, food lines, and more merchandise in variety of clothing, toiletries, and memorabilia, until the far end gives way to a cluster of long, plain sheet tables with bench rows, none of which match but all of which provide sitting or napping opportunities.

Dropboxes and a bulletin board offer discreet-ish places to drop requests for help from the Envoys, and food, drink, showers, jerky, fudge, and cryo magnets and other paraphernalia are all up for the taking. Just about anything a traveler or tourist may want or need can be found at The Shame Corner, and only a few eclectic rules seem to govern the comet-cum-station, enforced by it's equally eclectic staff, scrawled across boards and lit on massive neon holoscreens:

Pay What You Want - Tips Welcome
Talk Kist to the staff, Get a Fist - Try to hit back, and this whole place depressurizes and vents while the doors seal. We all go together.
Check Your Weapons at the Door - Or Don't
If Your Animal Poodoos, Pick It Up
If you clog a fresher, just karking Tell Us, we just Don't Want to be Surprised

Employees mill behind the counters or stalls. Some have name tags, others do not and barely look up from their datapads. The station is yours to explore.
