Introduction
Omega Nine, created in early 2013, is a community founded to bring happiness and fun to servers, with 'realpolitik' (a term to describe non corrupt government, along with a free society) no matter what gamemode or subject we're tackling. We work our best to make sure that it's fun, interesting, and fresh, and that's what we plan on doing with our Half-Life 2 Roleplay.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our server is set in Oslo, Norway, in February of 2019. The weather is moderate, colder than it usually is but warmer than the months before. We're running Clockwork, attuned to our tastes, whether it's custom to us or content that we've gotten somewhere else. We're working on implementing an even more environmentally immersive space, containing a variety of props to add to the map, along with weather for any time of the day.
Our canon encircles a new approach to how cities, factions, citizens, and the world functions.
The year is 2019. Your eyes slide open, and staring at the rusting ceiling of a metal train car - you listen to the consistent rattle of its wheels. Chug chug, chug chug echoes throughout your head. Today, you're heading to another city on Earth governed by Universal Union. You suspect it'll feel all the same; the bland rations, tokens, and scrounging up what you can to survive and be sufficient away from the Union. You are a citizen and you live in the dregs of society with noone else. Nothing shall change.
Everything
shall be
the same.
The train screeches to a stop at a station just above ground.
You step off, tilting your head upwards to a sight not often seen - a bright sky with little clouds to dampen it. You continue and register through the Assessment System. So far, it's mostly the same - although, nothing has plagued you. You move forwards, walking down the steps, into the streets.
The dark and grimy concrete streets have seemed to meld into a productive, lively environment. Citizens with a variety of permitted attire walk around, new shirts, pants, and jackets. Some even wear fingerless gloves. Some smile, some frown, and some are blank. Groups have formed, some try to keep a roof of cardboard over their head. Some even have a cigarette in their mouth.
A screen across the street emits a hum and the sound of an electrical surge as a blue-tinted screen appears. The face of a man with brown hair and a sand suit appears, and he speaks, welcoming you.
I grant you welcoming to Metroplex Seventy One. You have chosen, or been chosen, to relocate to one of our finest urban centers. Find yourself comfortable with our available space, and welcome - to Metroplex Seventy One. It's better here.
A brisk winter breeze flows through this district where you meet the hustle and bustle of civil society. Already, as you've stepped off of this trainstation block, you can tell that this city differs from the rest.
Where are you? Oslo, Norway.
Here in Metroplex Seventy One, you will find yourself welcomed with a new amalgamation of opportunities. The Civil Employment Arm supplies you with an easy way into work for the city, Civil Protection works as it should, and you even see citizens on small terminal devices - communicating.
As you walk through the main gates, you see people walking the streets happily. Some stand in their windows, looking down, some stand within shops - talking with a grin on their face.
Welcome, and enjoy your stay.
The world shall change as you change it.

These are the main factions of our server. If a Playerbased Faction (not including Anti-Citizen Groups) has a subforum, it will be present here.
Citizens
Offices of City Administration and Development
Civil Protection
Universal Union Overwatch Transhuman Arm
Union Labour Association
Civil Employment Arm
Citizens
The commoners of the now enslaved world. You live day in and day out doing what you must to survive, and doing what you must to stay out of the Union's suspicions.
Offices of City Administration and Development
With a new approach to an incredibly interesting arm of the Union's power, we have brought together many different
real governmental roles, under the City Consul, to power the environment that is City Seventy One.
Civil Protection
Civil Protection has taken a new turn for roleplay. The ground units find themselves in a flat structure, no unit with power over one another - but with experience over one another. There are no fancy and colourful uniforms with flashy red visors and edgy weaponry placement, every man stands with the same jacket, kevlar, and facemask. The ranks have no individuality, they are merely graded in numerical order from u1 to u9.
Universal Union Overwatch Transhuman Arm
There is no need for military in the cities. You will likely never see them, nor hear from them, unless a friend of yours disappears without a trace.
Union Labour Association
The Union Labour Association is a reformation of the bland and consistent Civil Worker's Union. It was founded in 2013, and works closely with the Offices of City Administration to compel the citizens in a way that they are engaged with keeping the city alive - and deterring rebellious thoughts.
Civil Employment Arm
Do you ever join a server and find that there is nothing to do? The Civil Employment Arm offers a new amalgamation of activities for citizens to be employed in, if they find themselves interested. The Union requires that all citizens work daily, and the Civil Employment Arm is here to ensure that.
We have our own custom content, and content from other people.
Currently, I'm working on a system where citizens have access through small PDA-like devices to a "Network". See more details on our forums.
