HERONet
Membership Benefits
HERONet is an outreach program funded out of a modest special discretionary budget raised primarily from private donations and subsidized from the larger PRIMUS budget.
The overall intent of the program is to improve the relationship between PRIMUS and individual superheroes and superteams. PRIMUS wants to promote registering and sanctioning, but historically offered little in return and thus had poor growth in this area; now under the auspices of the HERONet Initiative they extend much greater support to participating members thus incentivising sanctioning.
In order to be a member of HERONet, a superhero must first register and become sanctioned by PRIMUS (as described in Champions Universe on page 43). Sanctioned heroes may also enroll, if they choose to, in the HERONet Initiative {mechanically this requires an additional 1 point Perk: HERONet Member}.
Participating HERONet members are required to fill in After Action Reports on their crimefighting activities, contact with other superhumans, and also any out of the ordinary occurances that might have some intelligence value. This process is computerized and online, with established web forms to ease the process. It takes anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour or more to fill in an AAR depending on the content being reported and the degree of detail provided.
Additionally HERONet members agree to volunteer for at least one mission per year under PRIMUS's direction. A "mission" could be anything from being scrambled to help fight a supervillain, to helping with the aftermath clean up of a disaster, to participating in a training exercise, or something out of the ordinary. Transport is available to those that need it pursuant to the interests of the organization in conjunction with this volunteer service.
In return for this additional information reporting burden, members gain improved access to the following services and support:
  • An untraceable (due to privacy concerns) PRIMUS comm-link keyed to the user. These comm-links will communicate with PRIMUS, law enforcement bands, and can be sub-netted to communicate directly with other comm-links (for teams).
  • 24 hour Analyst support provided by PRIMUS Analysts via the comm links.
  • Testing and analysis of the member's powers, by appointment at equipped facilities.
  • Increased Access to PRIMUS facilities, including an improved per diem rate for overnight stays and commisary privileges.
  • Access to one of several "super gyms" located in Los Angeles, Millennium City, Dallas, and Atlanta; these gyms have equipment appropriate to those with superhuman athletic abilities.
  • Access to PRIMUS Crime Labs, though there is often a wait / turnaround time.
  • Access to participating knowledge specialists at PRIMUS and within the HERONet community. For example, Mr. Goodspeed is often tasked to assist teams in building / improving vehicles and bases, and supers with science backgrounds are often consulted within the community regarding their specialties, and so forth.
  • Access to professional costume design and production, including special-needs materials, at a respectable discount (benefiting from existing bulk-rate contracts held by PRIMUS).
  • Opportunity to participate in semi-annual Combat Training Retreats.
  • Opportunity to participate in PRIMUS R&D "field tests" and "fire sales" -- i.e. get to play with some cool toys to see if they work, and to pick up decommisioned gear on the cheap.
  • Improved recognition and status within the PRIMUS community (this is an unstated perk, but it is a real distinction).
Additionally, greater levels of support are available to members that have proven themselves / provided significant support to PRIMUS in the past. A common practice is for a member to pledge / grant greater levels of volunteerism in return for material support such as gadgets, vehicles, and even direct assistance by PRIMUS Agents in pursuit of appropriate goals.
