Peacekeepers of the Vast/Fabulists
Template:TOCrightFabulists are the creators of fables. Fable is a literary genre: a succinct fictional story, in prose or verse, that features animals, legendary creatures, plants, inanimate objects, or forces of nature that are anthropomorphized, and that illustrates or leads to a particular moral lesson (a "moral"), which may at the end be added explicitly as a concise maxim or saying.
A fable may be differentiated from a legend, which is "a folk-tale historically grounded," according to the Brothers Grimm; or, more professionally:
Legend, typically, is a short (mono-) episodic, traditional, highly ecotypified historicized narrative performed in a conversational mode, reflecting on a psychological level a symbolic representation of folk belief and collective experiences and serving as a reaffirmation of commonly held values of the group to whose tradition it belongs.[1]
Operational Dictates
The Fabulists are charged by Peacekeeper Command to operate under the standard cover of independent galactic couriers, or under specific covers as the situation warrants.
Operational Details
The Fabulists generally prefer a direct approach to their missions, highlighting the hacking prowess of Professor and Eidolon in gathering intelligence in the field, while relying on Tiny, Picasso, and Quadrant for consistent heavy support roles; Tiny and Picasso excel at the interpersonal aspects of operational work, while Quadrant, Professor, and Eidolon are incredibly skilled with managing the technological threats of the Vast Galaxy.
