Maia Sanders: Of course, Commander Greene.
There's few minutes as the Chief Secretary leans over the computer desk, tapping away at the buttons and keys, and then a holovid projection of the academy grounds comes up.
With a Site chosen, we can now do pre-orders and pre-builds of equipment and facilities. Please remember, SMC currently holds 50.000 Links it can use for this very purpose.
She pushes the computer's terminal towards Commander Greene, and steps aside a bit.
With this terminal, you can view, on screen or via holo-projection, various facility models, vehicles and data available to SMC currently. I wish to inform you that Starlight Mechanized Corps is due to begin its official operations on 15th Late Winter, that is, two weeks from now. If you purchase easily shipped equipment, or order construction of some small facilities, they could arrive or be finished before the base begins operation, saving on waiting time. Please keep that in mind, Commander. I would also advise to retain some funds for whatever happens during the second half of the month, as we will be receiving money from PMGC every 1st of the Month.

Maia Sanders: Smaller facilities usually cost few thousand, larger ones, especially cargoplane hangars, about a dozen or two dozen thousand Links. Maglevs and Cargoplanes are quite costly, but the basic planes go for about ten thousand each. Maglevs are even cheaper.
As for the Pilot roster, Starlight Corporation is currently preparing a list of potential recruits. I believe they are hoping that there will be about twenty or more to choose from initially. Our mother corporation will periodically send new recruitment lists to Commander Greene to choose from.

Maia Sanders: Clinics and Hospitals both have physical and mental trauma healing capabilities in one facility, while Auto Medbays are used to treat physical wounds and Counselling Offices offer psychiatric therapy, separately. We will get to more in-detail descriptions of facilities soon.

Maia Sanders: The accomodations for Pilots come in three quality levels and three occupancy rates. Basic, Standard and Lavish for quality, and Individual, Paired and Team.
The better the quality, the less issues the occupant will have with its standard of living. The more people per Quarters, the less privacy they have, and teens are especially big on that. Inadequate privacy or quality afforded by the Quarters assigned to the upcoming Pilots will negatively affect their happiness, ability to improve their skills or even their operational abilities. A Pilot living in Basic Quarters probably won't complain if they live there alone; on the other end, a Team stationed in Lavish Quarters which come equipped with useful appliances and varied modern comforts will probably get along just fine. Place too many of them in low quality rooms, and they will have trouble concentrating on their tasks, get on each other nerves and even submit resignation from the SMC, if worst comes to pass.
As for expansion spaces, it is only a flavorful description by Starlight Architecture Bureau. As I stated before, Base Sites can and will be expanded as needed. Of course, building actual facilities will take both time and thousands of Links.
Base Facilities come in four distinct types: Quarters, which I explained before, Vehicle Storage, which I also briefly explained, Healthcare facilities and Training Facilities. Healthcare Facilities are used for treat Pilots that, due to damage or destruction of their Mechas were Wounded or, even worse, Incapacitated, which will require medical attention and perhaps being taken off active roster until the Pilot is fully healed. Psychiatric counselling is also in this category as grotesque designs of the Mu along with bloodshed and carnage will negatively affect the Pilots. Training Facilities allow a Pilot, or multiple ones, to enter regularly scheduled, prolonged sessions to hone their skills and maximize their potential.

Maia Sanders: Actually, there will be no problem expanding any of the sites you might choose. Starlight Corporation has agreed on expansion writs with local governments. We will be allowed to construct new facilities as needed with minimal bureaucratic hassle.

Maia Sanders: Ah yes, let's start with the finances.
Pan-Maian Government Council (I will refer to it as PMGC, Commander Greene) has agreed to a budget forwarded by Starlight Corporation for this project. Initial funding is 50.000 Links, with a monthly income from the council of 10.000 Links. While facility maintenance will take quite a bit of our funding, new purchases, replacements, as well as payments for the enrolling high-schoolers will also put a weight, not to mention any sudden and emergency expenses.
PMGC is privy to adjustment of the income based on our performance as well as any grieviances and favors we do to the local Nations and Mega-Governments on Maia. The more assignments we will reply to and more successful Deployments we perform, the better. The more social incidents we get ourselves into, the more failures in deployments and more dead teenagers we count during our operation, the less favorable PMGC's opinion, and subsequently, their budget, will be for us.
And for the vehicles, they come in three kinds:
Mechanized Warfare Constructs, or simply Mechas, will be used by our Pilots. There are numerous designs, and quite frankly, the 995s stored at Site F are quite dated models by now.
Maglev Roadtrains like Maglev 1000 are used in regional deployments; they are cheaper than Cargoplanes but we won't be able to take assignments from further away than the Nation we're hosted at.
Meanwhile, Cargoplanes are expensive to buy and expensive to maintain, but having an aeronautical carrier would allow us to reply to any and every request by any Government on the Planet. Herculean-404s are standard fare of Cargoplanes across the globe, but there are also other, more specialized - and quite costly - variants providing deployment bonuses.

//TricMagic as IAI, GreenKnight as Tray Glacier, VermillionSkies as Kali Scarlet are all getting onto reserved Subcommander waitlist spots! Sorry Tric, I need someone/something mobile for this job 
Chief Secretary Maia Sanders: Greetings Commander Argent Greene! I am glad that you have been assigned as SMC's Commander. Pan-Maian Security Council has forwarded you as best candidate, and your official records seem to prove it.
Today, we will be handling some major bureaucracy and logistics.
Our first task is to declare a Base Site for the Starlight Mechanized Corps. Fortunately, Starlight Corporation has managed to acquire a small list of sites that could be quickly furnished into a fully-fledged base. Whatever that's not present can be constructed or purchased later.
Chief Secretary Maia Sanders: If you have any questions regarding the choice of future Base Site before you make your choice, Commander Greene, feel free to ask. I will try to answer them to the best of my abilities and knowledge as Starlight Corporation officer.

Starlight Mechanized Corps
Heroic High-Schoolers Fighting to Defend Their Homeworld Maia from Grotesque Alien Invaders from Outer Space:
What Do You Mean It's Not For Teens!?
Industrial Revolution Calendar, Year 995
Dr.Evangeline Starlight discovers the Compatibility Gene, a requirement for adolescent and adult Maians to correctly connect their organic brains to the Mind-Machine Interface, which itself was an experiment to help efficiently control the equally-experimental, multi-purpose, humanoid-shaped, fusion-powered Mechanized Warfare Constructs, or 'Mechas' for short. In recognition for Doctor Starlight's discovery, the newfound Gene is labeled 'Starlight Gene' by the scientific community.
IRC, Years 995-1000
Mechanized Warfare Constructs, pioneered by several powerful corporations, enter mass-production stage. Present in 0.34% of Maian population, the Starlight Gene indeed proves to be the best way to control Mechas. Many families undergo Starlight Search Test to see if they possess the necessary gene, allowing many talented young adults and high schoolers to enroll in various training programmes by civilian and military authorities around the planet. Wealth, prestige and recognition follows those that complete the training program and become Construct Pilot Officers, or 'Pilots' for short.
IRC, Midspring Year 1000
A meteor crashes unnoticed somewhere deep in Northwest Icelands. Nine months later, mega-governments across planet Maia receive reports of strange sightings, mutated animal attacks and disappearances of livestock and civilians from small villages and remote townships.
IRC, 1st Early Spring, Year 1001
Pan-Maian Governmental Security Council recognizes the existence of 'Outer Dimensional Alien Threat', and scientific community discovers that these invading xenomorphs radiate Mu particles, which are highly corrosive versus biological compounds. Therefore, the public quickly labels the terrifying new threat to Maia as 'Mu-Aliens', 'Mu-Morphs', or simply, 'the Mu'. Lethal to Maians, these aliens need to be combated from the protective shells of Power-Suits or, even more safely, from the cockpits of the Mecha.
IRC, 1st Late Winter Year 1001
In cooperation with VanZer, GunBlade, Centaur, and several other manufacturing and logistics companies, Starlight Corporation has publicly announced the creation of the 'Starlight Mechanized Corps', under budgetary oversight of Pan-Maian Government Council. A specialized unit, taking in high-schoolers from around the world, to train and equip them for singular purpose: investigation, fighting, containment, and ultimately, destruction of the Mu Threat!

Welcome to RTD: Starlight Mechanized Corps! A managerial game with influences from wildy varied video games such as Idol Manager, X-Com, Crying Suns and Front Mission!
In this game, you will take on the role of SMC Commander and any additional SMC Sub-Commanders while the aforementioned heroic high-schoolers go battle the aliens. You will be prompted to make construction, financial, and most importantly, social decisions during the span of the game. After all, these are teenagers; they're vulnerable to adult influence, their budding sexuality and raging hormones are making the adult world scary and confusing. Scandals, infatuations and rivalries are galore in such environment, where quirks, upbringing and cultural differences might make the otherwise prim and proper A-grade teenagers into fistfights.
Can you manage the SRC base just as good as you can manage the youngsters? Can you protect them just like they protect the people of Maia by risking their lives and careers?
The first Player becomes the Commander, making base and deployment decisions, as well as being the representative of SMC in the wider world of Maian social media and dealings with Pan-Maian Government Council. Any subsequent player will be Sub-Commander, each responsible for 1 Team of up to 4 Pilots, solving their disputes, social incidents, and other things, unless the Commander themself will be required. Sub-Commander slots will be generated whenever the Commander accepts applications of enough new Recruits to create a new Pilot Team. The Pilots themselves are not players, instead, they are NPC characters randomly generated and given own personalities, stats and quirks.
Feeling it became too much for you? No worries, just retire yourself and let someone else take your place!
And worry not, mechanics and lore will be introduced by humble myself via self-insert as Chief Secretary Maia Sanders.
