Jovian Rebellion World

You get to Burning.

Setting

The UE government eliminated all records of their existence, as if they never even existed in order to cover up their own role in fermenting the rebellion. and for other reasons as well According to Genichirou Tsukiomi, the Earth had justified the theft of their homes in the name of pacifying an unstable political situation. The survivors of the purge had settled on Mars when the UEAF attacked again. They used nuclear warheads to destroy the new colony. Additionally, Tsukumo Shiratori believed it was all part of a plan to keep the Earth profitable and under control. In the end, Jupiter and its satellites were the only place left for their ancestors to go, and that was where the Jovians found the artefact; a factory for the construction of phase transition engines and unmanned weapons such as the Grasshoppers, the Jiross and the Chulips. Discovering the plans in Jupiter's orbit gave the separatists the technical base they needed to survive. It also gave them the ability to build weapons for their revenge.

Nergal Heavy Industries

Nergal assists the United Earth government with their war against the Jovian Lizards attacking from the planet Jupiter, which have annihilated the UE military forces on Mars and captured the planet. Conventional weaponry proves useless against the invaders, and so a new type of battleship must be created; the ND-001 Nadesico, armed with the same weaponry and defenses used by the Jovian forces. However, though the ship was commissioned by the UE, it remains the property of Nergal, which has its own plans for the vessel and its crew: Project Schiaparelli, named for the astronomer who named the seas and continents on the Red Planet.

Nergal's first interest was to itself; to that end, the Nadesico was created to break through the massed Jovian forces and re-capture technology and research from Nergal laboratories which were abandoned when Mars was occupied. One of the revelations made on the planet was that the Nadesico itself was not fully realized by Nergal. An ancient vessel which had crash-landed on the planet was discovered by the corporation. Realizing its technological value, Nergal built a facility around it, and the design of the Nadesico and all future ships in its class, the Nadesico-class were based on this ship. However, the Nadesico was overwhelmed by a massive attack and heavily damaged, forcing its desperate retreat from the planet using a Jovian transporter device. Learning of this failure, the chairman of Nergal made the decision to formally ally the company with the UE and integrate the Nadesico with the military for the time being.

Jovian Federatiion

he Anti-Earth Cooperative Federation of the Jovian Sphere: Ganymede, Callisto, Europa, and Associated Moons and Asteroids (木星圏ガニメデ・カリスト・エウロパ及び他衛星小惑星国家間反地球共同連合体 Mokusei-ken ganimede karisuto europa oyobi ta eisei shōwakusei kokka-kan han chikyū kyōdō rengōtai?, lit. Jupiter Ganymede, Callisto, Europa and other satellite asteroid inter-state anti-earth joint coalition), better known as the Jovian Federation (木連 Mokuren?) or the Jovian Lizards (木星蜥蜴 Mokusei Tokage?), and they fought against the United Earth Forces and Nergal Heavy Industries during the Jovian War.

The Jovian Federation are made up descendants of the losers of the War for Lunar Autonomy. The UEAF space fleet drove the rebel groups out at gunpoint. The scattered remnants disappeared, first to Mars, then to the Asteroid Belt and Jupiter. (Nadesico: "The Beginning of Nadesico's War")
