Callisto is the Imperial Officer of Military Affairs in the New Pacific Order. She has previously served extensively in Council, Admissions, and Military Command.

History

Callisto joined the New Pacific Order on April 17, 2023. In her early days, she won a prize for talent in speed attacks.[1] She also saw herself consistently training at a high energy level for a member with under 300,000 stats: making the top of the Gym Diaries in Volumes 79-82 and 85.[2]

Admissions Department and Diplomatic Affairs

She served in the Admissions Department early in her time in NPO, being promoted to Deputy Provost for Recruiting on August 8, 2023, with then-Provost iat explaining that "[s]ince joining Admissions as both a Recruiter and an Instructor, she has been a force of nature contributing day to day across so many different fronts in both verticals of the department."[3] On February 11, 2024, she was appointed to take over as Deputy Provost for Instruction, with BoonieSteep taking over her former role in Recruiting.[4] She served as Deputy Provost until April 22, 2024.[5] Callisto also served in Diplomatic Affairs under Xoriet as an Intelligence Agent/Consultant.[6]

Prosperity Council

On December 29, 2023, saxasm appointed Callisto to serve as a Junior Councilor for NPO - Prosperity.[7] She served as Junior Councilor until June 1, 2024, when she was promoted to Councilor.[8] She served as Councilor until her retirement on July 15, 2024, to focus on Military Command.[9]

Military Command

Callisto has served extensively in Military Command. She was appointed Lieutenant on February 1, 2024. She was appointed Colonel on April 10, 2024.[10] Shortly after her appointment, the ranked war system was modified, and Callisto announced a payout structure which would reduce payouts for outside hits.[11]

In May 2024, Callisto organized NPO - Prosperity's successful war against The Corporation.[12] During wars she commanded, she was praised for her presence in voice chats as an organizer in wars.[13] She was promoted through the ranks, eventually rising to become General on August 8, 2024, when echotte was promoted to Imperial Officer of Military Affairs,[14] before retiring shortly thereafter to focus on her roles in NationStates.

Imperial Service

Callisto was appointed Imperial Officer of Military Affairs on May 9, 2025, alongside Lord of Darkness.[15] Her time as Imperial Officer came during an era of significant change for the Order following the departure of Belle and a significant portion of leadership. During her time, she oversaw numerous promotions through the ranks and mentored new members, including the initial appointments of Garlanator,[16] hessian01,[17] and MagnoliaTree[18] to Lieutenant and their subsequent appointment into High Command.[18][19]

Her time also saw two major changes to payouts in ranked wars. First, in order to assist lower-stat players who would take losses while doing group attacks, losses began to be compensated as assists under certain circumstances.[20] Second, expenses were removed from the payout calculation, leading to improved payouts for members.[21]

During Callisto's time as Imperial Officer, the factions have seen success in ranked wars:

  • Valour entered, and won, its first ever ranked war in a dominant rout.[22][23]
  • Endurance entered five contested wars between June 7, 2025, and October 18, 2025, winning four of them. It also engaged in several termed wars.
  • Prosperity entered five contested wars between May 24, 2025, and October 18, 2025, winning three of them. It also engaged in several termed wars.
  • Strength entered six contested between May 10, 2025, and October 18, 2025, winning four of them. It also engaged in several termed wars.

War Command History

Callisto served as in command for at least the following ranked wars:

Awards

On June 22, 2024, then-Emperor Deatvert awarded Callisto with the award of Pacifican Vanguard.[24] In granting the award, Deatvert explained:

Callisto has made an immediate impact on multiple departments, including Admissions, Military Command, and Prosperity Council with their contributions, insights, and opinions. In Admissions she made major personal contributions to the development, maintenance, and growth of the recruiting side of the department as well as serving as one of the longest standing leaders there. In Military Command she has contributed heavily to the development and structure of new MilCom members including the conception of the MilCom Academy for New NCOs and the running of multiple wars for Prosperity and Strength. In Prosperity Council she has been an active participant, adding insight into goals and the development of the shell.
