Stats are equal to the average score between the pilot's personal ability and his frame's capability.When both Frames are stationary, the attacker rolls two dice plus his weapon bonus to hit, versus the opponent's one dice plus speed bonus. If the defender's roll beats the first dice+the bonus, the attack is "blocked" by a limb, if the defenders roll beats the attack entirely, the attack is negated.

When a frame is moving at full speed, it becomes more difficult to aim as well as aim at it, it rolls two dice to dodge and one to attack. It can roll two dice if charging an opponent head on with a melee weapon, but loses the defense bonus if the defender also has a melee weapon [this is will lead to some interesting jousting, I suspect]. The speed bonus is the main reason why Melee weapons are practical in this game.

Defence determines the HP the Frame has, while Weapon bonus determines the damage. Limbs have 3+Def HP, while the Chasis, has 7+Def HP.

In this verse, the Glasgow are thirteen years old and about as up to date with current technology as biplanes in World War I. Meanwhile Fifth Generation frames have been in service about six years and are currently the main line frames of the war but are slowly lagging behind in favour of the new Sixth and Seventh Generation Prototypes. Each new generation frame gets an extra two stat points, with 4th Gen stating with 8.

Timeline:

55 B.C. or 0 a.t.b.

Julius Caesar attempts to invade Britain, but is met with strong resistance from the local tribes, who elect a super-leader: the Celtic King Eowyn, who summarily becomes the first member of the Britannian Imperial Family. The disgrace costs Julius Caesar his chance at becoming Emperor, Rome Remains a Republic. Weakening and become a Vestigal Empire much sooner, collapsing under the weight of civil wars and opportunistic Barbarians. Dark ages begin in continental Europe, but Brittiania remains largely unaffected for several centuries and is seen as a center of knowledge lost on the continent. First suspected use of the Geass by Eowyn

6th Century a.t.b

King Arthur unites the Isles under his banner, bringing the Saxons and Vikings under his dominion. Celtic Culture is slowly blends with Saxon culture, including interbreeding as far up as among the royals within a century of the conquest. Wales and Scotland do not exist, Our England is divided into Briton, England [Small section on the East] and Juteland [North-Eastern England] similar for all intents and purposes to Scotland and Wales respectively. Suspected to possess a Geass. Founds the original Knights of the Round

Unknown year - Middle Ages

Sakuradite (known as the "Philosopher's Stone" at the time) is discovered near Stonehenge. The preservation of knowledge by Brittania turned it into a center of scholars ressembling Ancient Greece. Great minds Many aided by a Geass with this easily usable natural battery allow them to make advancements centuries ahead of their time. However, the scarcity of sakuradite impedes the research to turn it into a viable energy source. In his travels, Marco Polo journeys further into the East, reaching Japan and discovering the nation's large deposit of sakuradite.

16th Century a.t.b.

Elizabeth I, who remained single throughout her life, bears a son, Henry IX. The potential fathers — Sir Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester; Sir Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex; and Sir Carl, Duke of Britannia — gain influence and power with this knowledge.Henry IX ascends to the throne after the death of his mother in 1603 A.D. or 1548 a.t.b., starting the Golden Age of the Tudor Dynasty.

1710s a.t.b.

The American Revolution (also known as Washington's Rebellion) occurs. The Duke of Britannia bribes Benjamin Franklin with promises of titles and territories in the colonies, who was charged with appealing to Louis XVI for assistance in the American colonies' war for independence.

Thereafter, Benjamin Franklin is given the title of Earl. It is suspected that he had been Geassed As a result, the Continental Army suffers a decisive defeat during the Siege of Yorktown with the death of George Washington, marking a severe blow to the American movement for independence. Rebels flee to their ally France for shelter and support revolutionary movements there, creating a strong sense of internationalism.

End of the 18th Century a.t.b.

The western world enters the Age of Revolution, with numerous national revolutions taking place, except in the British Isles, under the rule of King Henry X, who continues to hold absolute monarchy. This leads to the formation of the Euro Universe [I am not opposed to calling this the European Union, because personally it is the first thing everyone thinks when the hear it and the original is pretty dumb sounding.]

After French revolutionary Napoleon Bonaparte emerges, with a strange and rather eccentric councilor, he wins the Battle of Trafalgar, and, upon this councilor's insistence, invades Great Britain, and occupies London. The British Isles are conquered from Britannia and become a part of the E.U.

In 1807 A.D., Queen Elizabeth III retreats to Edinburgh, where a revolutionary militia arrests her and forces her to abdicate, ending the monarchy. This event becomes known as The Humiliation of Edinburgh. However, Sir Ricardo von Britannia, Duke of Britannia, and his friend and subordinate, Sir Richard Hector, Knight of One, bring Elizabeth III and her followers to the New World and establish a capital on the east coast of North America. Brittania loses her grip on most of her other colonies, most notably Australia, India even Quebec.

1758 a.t.b.

Elizabeth III nominates her lover, Sir Ricardo von Britannia, as her successor upon her death. She ends her reign for being "the Queen who loved throughout her stormy life". The Britannian calendar, Ascension Throne Britannia (a.t.b.), is established, with the origin year set to the ascendancy of the first Celtic king. A policy of vicious expansionism using 'Honourary Brittanians' [Non-Ethnic Anglo-Celts including Slaves, Forgeinners and Native Americans] as cannon fodder, they manage to complete their "Manifest Destiny" and expand across North America, crushing the Quebec Rebels in the war of 1812, expanding their rapidly growing population across the east and eventually South America which had fallen into Chaos after the death of Simon Bolivar. Slavery ends due to a lack of slaves from the honourary Brittanian system.

1766 a.t.b.

Napoleon divided his Empire into several smaller Republics resembling Modern Day states, uniting Germany and Italy as nations. His invasion of Russia was a success; however he new his limits and, seeking to avoid the long struggle of winter stops before besieging Smolensk and St. Peter. War weary, angry, and discontent with Napoleon's surrender in the face of what they believed as their final victory, old Revolutionaries in France rose up against him again and are joined by others across Europe, including hungry and unpaid soldiers.[It is mentioned in other sources that Napoleon waged war against European Revolutionaries, presumably these were his enemies at Waterloo] Napoleon Bonaparte dies on his way back to France, after his defeat at the Battle of Waterloo; although it was never proven, it is rumored that assassins poisoned his food in accordance to Elizabeth III's will. Her last words included the famous line, "I do not forget slights to my honour."

1914 a.b.t.The Great Depression strikes Britannia and it's close allies Tsarist Russia and Nationalist China. Discontentment spreads among the populace who view the EU's socialized system as almost Utopic in comparison, causing several major uprisings. The Nihilist movement movement in Russia gained force, sparking a major revolution in Russia, supported directly through military intervention by then President of Germany and Chairman of the E.U. Karl Marx. The "Confederates" of the Northern Areas led by Abraham Lincoln lead a revolutionary war against the Britannians, while the Movement towards Modernisation was pre-emptively crushed by the "Boxer-Rebellion" [Or Counter-Rebellion, Suppression, etc.] who slaughtered forgienners and their sympathizers who had been ignored by the former lords of the area. After over throwing the Emperor and becoming the Chinese Republic Briefly, until Yuan Shikai resiezed power and began a Chinese cultural revival along with a war of conquest to create and Asian "Co-Prosperity Sphere".[They have wierd canon on the world wars and with all the wierd stuff in Europe this is the closest I could get to the original Timeline].

2000 a.t.b.

''Indo-Chinese War. China, backed by Britannia, conquers India despite EU and MEF [Middle Eastern Federation] support. Much of South East Asia falls as well. Australia cedes all off Island Territories. New Zealand is Surrendered to Britannia. Japan, however, rebels supported by the E.U. and Britannian Support. China does not intervene for fear of losing Britannian support and/or sparking all out war with the EU.

Brittania continues it's policy of expansion, waging smaller scale wars while the E.U. suffers from splintering and complacency.

Technology:

Technology, for the most part developed much faster. Fossil fuels were developed but were found to be inefficient in comparison with Sakuradite. Some areas with a prevalence of it will use it as a low[er] cost alternative. World War I was fought out between Abraham Lincoln and Robert E. Lee. Sakuradite whoever messed with radar, ala. Minovsky Particle, meaning that, due to the prevalence of Sakuradite, Radar was never invented; forcing the introduction of the IFF radio, which works more like a GPS with allies sending off a beacon to indicate their location. For this reason, fast moving tanks quickly made heavy artillery completely obsolete [proven by China's Tank Rushes in the great Indo-Chinese War.]. Battleships and the like have become unpopular as well, with most being used as Knightmare Frame Launchers instead.

Politics

Politics;

Brittania: Very little to add here really, Canon said it all.

The Chinese Federation: Taiwan was occupied by the E.U. Socialist rebels, while the Nationalists held on to the mainland. For the last hundred years, the Imperial Family have held on to power supported by the Nationalists who continue to cling to China's golden age; however the office has generally been reduced to a figure head position, with the Imperial Councillors making most major decisions and merely using the Empress to add legitimacy to their rule. Very aggressive foreign policy to create an Eastern co-prosperity sphere, has led to massive expansions unprecedented since Britannia; In the most recent war, they finally conquered India, and most Pacific Isles, having led a campaign of extermination against the E.U. Menace amongst the entire Federation; solely Japan was able to slip free. However, the population of the country is aging and the divide between the rich and poor is growing. It seems likely that the China is slowly headed fordecline.

E.U.: Founded on the ideals of Internationalism, Democracy and Equality it resembles a small scale U.N. and serves as Britannia's bitter enemy both ideologically and on the battle field. The E.U. would best be described as a somewhere between a confederation and a tight alliance; countries remain independent with radically different government [though most are left to some degree]. The E.U.'s military forces are divided based on nation and political ideology [This is, unfortunately, canon. The E.U. in this setting is Too Dumb To Live], this has lead to severe Interservice Rivalry and in spite of likely being the most powerful force in terms of pure economic and military might, disunity has had crippling effects on them, with some nations outright sympathizing with Brittania. The Most powerful Nations in the union such as France and Germany tend toward being more right wing capitalist, while poorer nations strongly oppose Britannia. England itself is rather divided some seeing their heritage as rightfully Britannian while others are embittered by Britannia's constant attempts at reconquering them. Ireland, although some do see themselves as Britannian Celts, is particularly bitter on this account as they are the most often selected as a beachhead and springboard for these assaults.

Australia: One of the more Shrewd political entities, making it the only remaining nation independent of a larger alliance. It secured this though immediate surrender to the expansionist policy of China, in exchange for maintaining their current system of government, while establishing trade routes and currying favour with Brittania. As China declined, they continued to play the two forces against each other, even receiving E.U. support to aid their fledgling democracy. Any major shift in power threatens their independence however, and the Australian people are quite nervous over the Brittanian expansion into Japan.

Japan: E.U. rebels within Japan overthrew the government a mere ten years before invasion with the aid of the E.U. and Brittania, they managed to keep the Chinese forces dedicated to 'restoring order' out. Using the Sakuradite as a bargaining chip, particularly fear of what would happen if a single power controlled their entire reserve to keep all three nations from gaining control of the region.

However, a mere Ten years Later, Britannia began a war of expansion. With China losing it's grip and falling into Internal conflict and with the E.U. busying fighting them on the African front as well as driving them from their Europian Beachheads, Brittania has taken the opportunity to crush the fledgling democracy and seize Area 11.
