Note: Quelmar's Alpha Complex highly resembles the stock Alpha Complex of the Paranoia RPG, with very few alterations. For specifics on how to run Quelmar's Alpha Complex, see GM: Paranoia
Alpha Complex is the name of the final (of many) ███ to inhabit the ███ of ███.
About
Alpha Complex is controlled by The Computer (Though it is anyone's guess WHICH Computer)
Everyone in the Alpha Complex has a Security Clearance which ranges from Infrared to Ultraviolet.
| Clearance |
|---|
| Infrared |
| Red |
| Orange |
| Yellow |
| Green |
| Blue |
| Indigo |
| Violet |
| Ultraviolet |
Ultraviolet Citizens were also known as "High Programmers".
Alpha Complex is clear of any communists, mutants, or traitors. This spotless reputation is thanks to the many servants of the Computer known as Troubleshooters
Citizens of the Alpha Complex are given access to "PDC"s, the equivalent of iPhones, but obnoxiously built, like the worst version of a Blackberry PDA.
The local police force of Alpha Complex was known as IntSec (Internal Security). Another less successful and more wild group of "law keepres" were known as Troubleshooters.
It is always year 2468 in Alpha Complex.
Citizens were grown in vats and decanted upon rapid growth. Upon death, a clone of the dead citizen was decanted to resume the previous citizen's work in the utopia.

The Productions, Logistics, and Commissary (or PLC) was a brutally complex series of beureucratic pipelines that citizens of the complex are often required to defer to when requesting information from the Computer or from higher clearance citizens.

Troubleshooting
"Troubleshooting is like volunteer firefighting, just not voluntary and with more firefights"
Troubleshooting was the prestigious job done by the most loyal workers of Friend Computer, whose job was to search out everyone who was a commie, a mutant, or a traitor.
