Maybe its just because of my youth spent on military installations where they had alphabet soup labels for everything: SPS- Security Police Squadron, AMS Avionics Maintenance Squadron; explains my fondness for acronyms in my rpg setting.<br /><br />For my GM background and Corporate Division Reports in my Volturnus Revisited project I've developed these:<br /><br />RAD- Resource Acquisition & Development a division within Streel tasked with acquiring planetary and or system resources for the exclusive exploitation by Streel.<br /><br />PEST- Prospecting Exploration & Survey Team - the department of Streel that does what its name says but has been under funded of late with the policy shift toward aggressive acquisition of resources in developing systems rather than discovering new one. This policy has lead to accusations of underhandedness, extortion, and even terrorism. (it has also led to RAD's involvement with a certain clandestine mining operation on Volturnus)<br /><br />PAC- Pale Aerospace Command- the division of the Pale military that is concerned with all things involving space- the space navy (the militia), ESO- Exploration & Sciences Organization,<br /><br />ESO- a small department within PAC that is tasked with exploration (they discovered the Zebulon system) and with mapping & cataloging of Traune's Star's planetary, asteroid, and cometary bodies<br /><br />I'm particularly proud of RAD and PEST- since some of the PC will start as part of PEST they probably will find it easy to switch allegiances latter in the campaign.<br /><br />Anyone else have and interesting sounding acronym?<br />
