Overview
The High Authority is a clan founded by Hardware34 in 2018. It is the figurehead of the Confederation.
History
Prelude
The High Authority was preceeded by both the Dark Zephyr Republic and the Evurikal Legion. Previously, Hardware made an attempt at launching the High Authority, but failed after his creator profile corrupted, forcing him to erase his work.[1]
Project Heart
The High Authority was launched officially on March 21st, 2018. Dubbed "Project Heart" after the central symbol of its flag, Hardware34 set forth plans for recruitment, with plans to build a level that contains the group's "Official Authority Handbook".[1]
The High Authority's first level, "Valfodr Plaza", was posted on May 3rd, 2018. The level serves to be one part of a group of levels set aboard a fictional city called the "Eternal Bastion".[1]
The High Authority's official menu was posted on May 15th.
The group later engaged in some hostility with the fifth incarnation of the Axis Alliance, led by LBP-Savior-_-, questioning Axis' ideals and methods.
Operation Dark Eyes
After posting his level, Hardware posted a recruitment video, and officially launched the Confederation, the High Authority's coalition. Under the codename of Operation Dark Eyes, Hardware began searching for other clans to join the newly founded Confederation.
Hardware later removed most of his levels, save for the recruitment video and menu, in order to replace them with a "superior" level that will implement the Norse theme. [1]
Operation Opus
The High Authority later set up their recruitment regime, a three-phase plan known as Operation Opus. The plan sees the launch of a new level (phase one), recruitments (phase two) and launch of a public Discord server (phase three)
Government
The High Authority is operated by the Royal Court. The Royal Court has five seats occupied by its leader and executives. [1]
- King of the High Authority - Hardware34
- Administration Overseer - Bzine
- Eternal - Xx-Ribbium-xX
- Internal Affairs - N/A
- External Affairs - N/A
- Judicator - N/A
Foreign Relations
The High Authority have a strict foreign policy that bars them from making alliances outside of The Confederation. As such, its only positive interaction with outside clans is to invite them into the alliance. [1]
The High Authority have attempted to invite the Axis Alliance into the Confederation on two occasions. After no confirmed reply for at least three weeks, LBP-Saviour-_- refused. Tensions between the two quickly arose afterwards. [1]
The High Authority consider themselves neutral with the LittleBigPlanet Union, citing its predecessor's Operation Exclave fallout and the following resolve between Hardware34 and M88youngling. [1]
Culture and Style
The High Authority is based heavily upon Norse mythology and the Vikings, using symbols and design cues for levels and other works. Due to the nature of the Confederation, the High Authority also use elements of British monarchy and constitution in regards to its politics.[1]
Infrastructure
The High Authority has a few levels to showcase itself, with more levels planned. The High Authority communicate via a server on Discord. [1]
There are plans to branch the High Authority onto Dreams after its release.[1]
