Earth

Earth<br

Earth is mankind's home, and has endured many attacks from varying alien species and other horrors. Earth and her many inhabitants stand steadfast against whatever may hope to harm them, wherether it be extra-terrestrial, extra-dimensional, or even originating from Earth itself. Humanity has spread to the stars, but defence of the Earth is still a huge priority, hence the existence of the EDF and EAF.

Moon

Moon

The Moon has seen many visits, and had just as many colonies installed as well. Serving as a forward military outpost, as well as a (comparitively) cheap tourist location and a mining facility, the moon plays a important part in Earth and the Solar system as a whole's defence. The foremost colony on the moon is titled 'Polaris Outpost', built by a joint effort of the EDF and the US Govt.

Mars

Mars

Mars has forever fascinated many, and when the first human set foot onto it's dusty surface, it's position was forever immortalized in the minds of man. Many colonies, outposts and mining facilites were built around Mars, and it sees considerable success as a tourist resort, more so than the moon despite costing more. 2 main colonies, entitled Arsia Mons and Aelita, serve as the forefront of Mars civilisation. Conditions in these colonies are poor for the under class, and many people turn to cults or crime to offer some form of coping mechanism.

Xuglop

Xuglop

Xuglop is a famous green planet well known as a source of conflict between it's residents and the vile alien race known as the Pitfiends. James has visited this planet many times, and has helped the colonists defend themselves against the Pitfiends and their minions. During the events of Imagination World the world Government set up many outposts on Xuglop, and it's believed that they are still operating despite the absence of Tom Exerfed, the corrupt Goverment's previous leader.

Ractonia

Ractonia

Ractonia is a harsh red planet that despite having a breathable atmosphere, hosts little life. From a glance it lacks many natural resources, however visits to the planet have revealed vast number of strange metal claw-like automatons, which suggests that there are resources somewhere on the planet since they appear to be produced on the planet itself. Searches for whatever's making them have proved fruitless, staying one of this strange planet's many mysteries.

Terra

Terra

Although referred to as Earth-2 by most people, Terra is the designated name of this planet due to it's similarity to Earth. It's climate is almost exactly the same, although more temperate and generally matches that of Europe. Although a perfect place to host life, only primitive lifeforms originally lived on this planet. Now it is colonised by just about every 1st-world country, although various pacts and treaties were formed to prevent any long-term damage to the planet's environment. Unlike Earth, it is a far more peaceful planet and crime is relatively low.

Other

Elseworld

Elseworld

Elseworld is a gargantuan ringworld that has existed for a unknown amount of time. Very little is known of it's makers, however it's surface area is many many times that of Earth. The surface of the ring itself is covered by vast, dark forests and has many human-like civilisations who all seem to be stuck in a technological era similar to that of the 1930s, however the existence of such technology such as steam-based airships and weapons suggest that they do not strictly adhere to our timeline. The existence of many monsters fitting the description of Werewolves and vampires also throws the source of this strange civilisation into even further confusion.

A few spacestations have been built onto this planet at various places along the ring - 2 are owned by the EDF and several more are property of various countries. The inhabitants are lukewarm to the existence of the spacestations, and although not aggressive they have no interest in modernising their way of life. The people survive in town systems more like that of medieval europe than the interlinked cities of more modern eras.

Cities

Garmid

Garmid is the largest city in the solar system, and referred to as the capital of the Earth; It lies on an island inbetween America and Europe. The main part of the city itself is a huge structure suspending a plate above the ground. This plate holds the cities' administration offices, and also provides corporate HQs to whichever companies can afford it. Below and around the plate is the rest of the city; dozens of skyscrapers surround the area, serving all kinds of purposes from housing to shopping to even power production. Each 'area' of Garmid has it's own designation number.

The City is protected by a huge security force consisting of the EDF, EAF, volunteers from the US and UK armies, and the city's own police force (Commonly called Garmid defence force) A large network of defence turrets surround the city as well; these range from anti-missile to anti-spaceweapon batteries. In light of recent events, droves of civilians have petitioned for a department who specialise in paranormal activity, but these requests are often ignored. If the incident is severe enough outside companies are often called in, as the rarity of such events would make financing such a department impractical.

Grovewich

Grovewich

Grovewich is a large city located in the south of England. Originally a bustling metropolis, a unexplained catastrophy rendered the city devoid of all life. In 2006, a large explosion originating from underground occured in the heart of the city, and unleashed a wave of supernatural activity. It's not known what caused this explosion, but many organisations dealing with the supernatural called it "The paranormal world's Chernobyl" It's effects were not so wide spread as the surrounding areas were not affected too severely, however the surrounding miles of countryside are still left deserted as many are keen to be as far away from the city as possible.

Following the explosion the city was filled to the brim with ghostly beings of all kinds, who slaughtered the cities' inhabitants. A blockade was swiftly placed by the British Military, but the armed forces were quickly killed by roaming ghouls and revenants as well. Since then many groups such as Majestic 12 and Delta Green have airlifted small groups into the city to try and find answers, but none have returned. Today the City lies silent, any hope of reclaiming it lost and discarded.

Facilities

Artifact Vaults

A

Artifact Vaults are well-known to all highly-secret organisations. Each organisation (Delta Green, Majestic 12, .etc) has a number of their own vaults. The AMC Squad itself has a single vault, located deep underground the main AMC base itself. Only James, Sang, Rusty and Alejandro have been to this vault. A Artifact Vault's sole purpose is to contain dangerous items that could cause catastrophic damage should they be used. Rooms for artifacts are custom-built to serve useful containment purpose, since each item will most likely have a different requirement for safe keeping. Every base has a last-defense emergency failsafe in the form of either a nuclear bomb or a weapon of similar power; this failsafe however isn't viewed as very effective and can lead to simply increase the severity of the situation. Alternate containment methods are being worked on, such as a form of vortex bomb which teleports a large spherical radius around it into deep space, effectively neautralising a threat completely and with minimal loss of life.

One explanation that has been theorised is that the cataclysm that affected Grovewich was due to a Artifact Vault suffering a severe security breach. The explosion may of been related to the artifact, or the Vault's thermo-nuclear charge being detonated in an attempt to destroy whatever it was.
