less of a concern with in-house products.
The Grace of Life: Sentient robots are social robots. They need contact with people and other
sentient robots to live full lives.
Gun the Flogger Down: Sentient robots prefer peaceful activism, but if pushed or frustrated,

survivalism emblematic of humanity’s drive.

An Ever-Expanding Envelope: Whether it’s the use of cybernetics, bio-modifications, or tapping

into latent forces existing just under the veil of our reality, humanity does a bit of research into
everything. The research topics tend to go in waves. The hot new trend of this current year:
Tesseract Dimensional Recursive Spaces!
Asset Standards:

Ideology: Salvage starship wrecks, clean orbits of space junk, trade scrap and repaired items to
locals, Reduce-Reuse-Recycle-Reclaim, protect crews from hazardous materials.

Cultural Concepts:
A Cleaner Future, Today: Junkers are dedicated to the arts of salvage and scrap. The initial
founders of the Junkers believed in a future in which their services would no longer be
necessary, but today, salvage and reclamation is too good a racket to pass up.

Do Your Part, Everywhere You Can: Junkers espouse a lifestyle of using less and recycling
more. This austerity would be admirable if Junkers didn’t also agree to take fewer showers and
use less aerosolized deodorant.

Posters and Memes: Junkers are extremely savvy about popular culture, and their stock in
trade of espousing their ideology is to spread memes and posters all over the colonies they are
unfortunately indispensable to.

Asset Standards:
Wrecking Crews:
Junker crews know how to take things apart, piece by piece, and catalog the pieces for later
trade and resale.
All Junker crews, even Class 0, receive the Wreckers upgrade for free.
Stunners:
Because the Junkers are an ostensibly peaceful NGO, they are only armed enough to stun.

(Faction Name)
3 Word Description of Faction’s Style

Might: The faction has the resources at its disposal to defend itself and harm others
that threaten it. Fleets, troops, bases of operations, economy, industry, etc.
Reach: The faction’s power should extend across many worlds. The borders of their
domain extend across multiple star systems, and their political or military might
beyond that.
Structure: In order to effectively coordinate its countless assets, the factions need
some form of social structure or hierarchy.
Ideology: The faction needs a purpose, a goal to pursue or an ideal to uphold.
This can range from the far-reaching (establish order, colonize all worlds), to the
immediate (loot and pillage), to the inscrutable (prepare the galaxy for the Coming of
the Void), to the horrific (devour the flesh of lesser people).

OSA (Order of Scientific Advancement)

Rigid scientific imperium

Might: The Osa have a range of highly advanced

technological weaponry, along with large class 6 ships covered
in weaponry rivaled by no other, with only VIPR coming
anywhere close. They are also involved in a range of non
aggression pacts, treaties and alliances.

Although they are technologically advanced, the cost of

research and advancement is high, and the Osa won’t hesitate
to immediately cut their alliances if it is keeping them from
advancement, or if their research is backed by someone asking for such. For this reason, many
factions attempt to keep the Osa appeased, as their high class weaponry and decked out class
4 behemoth ships makes them powerful allies and even more powerful enemies.

Reach: The Osa control three systems, Charon, Tross, and fyr. The first of these, charon, is the
least developed of their systems, with the majority of planets and smaller moons here being
used for mining and resource gathering for the more hidden of the Osas projects. The Tross
system Houses some of the same, but hosts more military and research districts, along with the
majority of the industrial areas in the Osa. The fyr system is the primary populated area of their
reach, with megacities spanning nearly every planet in the system. In the systems they control,
very few other factions are found, to reduce the chance of spies.

Politically however, the Osa are not incredibly adept, but are appeased by the majority of
factions, in hopes they will gain access to their next technological discovery, and be put ahead
of the other less technological factions.

Structure: The incredibly quick advancement of the Osa cannot be attributed to scientific might
and intelligence alone, and their cities are incredibly rigid and ordered, with every regular
citizens following strict curfews and timetables, each assigned their own individual role. As well
as this, every citizen is ID’d with a chip, implanted on birth to identify them, and they are
consistently inspected. Attempts to remove or alter these chips that are discovered result in the
offender being moved into the Syn-net mercenaries, who are then sold to the highest bidder and
utilised as military hackers, with no regard for their lives due to low cost.
Ideology: The Osa belief rigidity and order is the way to scientific discovery, and that their
scientific prowess makes them great, and in some respects, it does.
Because of this, they believe it is in their best interests to do anything they can to further their
technology.

Cultural concepts:

Research before all: Scientific advancement is a key part of Osan advancement, and any
found research or new discovery is rewarded handsomely, regardless of how it is claimed or
acquired, and the majority of Osan hierarchy revolves around this.
No advancement without order: The Osan society is the picture of order and rigidity, And it is
this that creates the majority of their Syn-Net mercenaries. They believe an ordered society is
the best one.

One horse sized chicken over 100 chicken sized horses: In Osan military, very few crafts or
legions are untrained or dispensable, with nearly all of their military and weaponry being the
best trained, and equipped with the best. This does however mean they have a smaller military
force.

Asset standards: Every piece of equipment Osa holds is able to connect to the sectornet, as
nearly every person in the faction is avid in technological ability, with the majority having some
minor hacking skills.
Mosaic
Empowered Religious Order
Might: Each Shrine of Mosaic is an active
Sanctuary of its followers. If one was to act hostile
to a follower of Mosaic in a shrine they would
experience their technological equipment failing
and debilitating nausea. Upon entering a shrine
within a week of desecration of a Mosaic tenet the
hostile entity will suffer horrific hallucinations of the
event inspiring guilt and possible mental
breakdown. This can be removed through
admission of guilt and proof of contrition.
Reach: The home planet of Mosaic is a Shrine to
Mosaic and its benefits and protection extend to its
entirety. Shrines can be found within the borders of
The Earth Directorate, The Awakened, The
Junkers and non-aligned colonies.

written the tenets of Mosaic. She personally selected 3 Arch Clerics to administer the Clerics of
Mosaic. The Arch Clerics observe new clerics trials to gain entrance into the Holy Garden.
These trials are numerous, though 2 of them require the creation of their Vapor Mace and their
Mosaic Robes, Once a Cleric gains access to the Garden and experiences its wonder they may
choose to stay and study or leave and enlighten others to the wonders of Mosaic.
Ideology: Treat all sentient life with respect, Temper the ambitions of science, Enlighten the
masses.

Cultural Concepts:
Mace makes the Man: Every Cleric carries a Vapor Mace personalised to their belief of the
tenets of Mosaic. It may manifest many effects from calming auras, which de-escalate violence
for a cleric focusing on mediation to producing electromagnetic pulse to disable technology for
clerics headed to a war torn system.

SANCTUARY!: Clerics of Mosaic are often encouraged to settle in a colony and establish a
shrine for their God's active protection within its walls. Giving the colonists sanctuary in their
times of need.

Cloth as Armor: All clerics can be identified by their mosaic robes, which confer upon the cleric
protection from those who would defy Mosaic's tenets.
Asset Standards:

leader. Current leader is Science Director Diaval Vo
Ideology: Provide the latest scientific information, democratize technology, research topics
based on international priorities, conduct multi-party research initiatives.

Cultural Concepts:
Institution of Learning: VIPR spends much of its time teaching students of all races. A diploma
from a VIPR-certified course is equivalent to any private interstellar tertiary accreditation.
Xenophilic: VIPR’s egalitarian values extend outward to all species. High-minded ideals such
as these are impressed upon students and faculty alike.
Cultural Bank: VIPR is the foremost leader in preserving the cultures of native or indigenous
alien species. VIPR expeditions focus on acquiring as full a picture as possible of their cultural
wealth.

All Crews of this faction receive the Equipped[Research Kit] upgrade for free.

Standardized Research Vehicles

VIPR prefers vehicles with an array of sensory equipment, for research purposes.
All Vehicles made by this faction receive the Sensors upgrade for free.
Korettt (Race)

● Metal Carapace
Harder: Automatically Reduce damage by one step. (From the augmented career)
Their Carapace is made of an organic metal alloy, a side effect of evolution to
combat their planet's natural radioactivity. Most blunt force and projectile weaponry
ricochet harmlessly off their armour, and weaker radiation based weaponry is hard
pressed to affect them.
● Cultural Concepts
Disciplined - The Korettt are often seen as disciplined, often performing daily routines
carried from their military service to the Confederacy. They have also shown swift
and decisive action when given an order by a superior officer, only hesitating if the
orders border on suicidal or incredibly dishonourable.
Honourable - Typically the Korettt are so disciplined that they will often show no
resistance when found guilty of a crime and speak the whole truth unless acted upon
by external influence.
Broad freedoms - The Korettt do not believe in the social limitation of drugs or
recreation so long as it doesn't interfere with a citizens duties. Coupled with their
disciplinary nature this means that the Korettt can typically found enjoying any
recreation in moderation. (Though they still get out of hand sometimes)

The Korettt Confederacy (Ejani)

Known by other species within the cluster for the system

from which they were first discovered rather than their
homeworld.
Might: Military Strength, specifically one of the largest
fleets in the galaxy dedicated to peacekeeping within
their own and allied sectors. Private Organisations
largely based out of Korettt system space focus mainly
on military applications of technological breakthroughs
and are a large contributor to the outfitting of Korettt
Military personnel.
Reach: (B4) The Ejanis System is home to the Korettt's
forward expeditionary base and its Drive Energy Amplifier a large station that serves as one of
many in a network of DEA's that form the infrastructure of Korettt FTL. They have several
systems under their control as a result with DEA's serving as hubs from which ships can travel
several jumps at the speed of one.
Structure: Based around a Oliguric Meritocracy that elects a single council member to speak on
behalf of the species in times of crisis. The citizenry is split into tiers that a citizen might ascend
that range from industrial, scientific or military based tiers. As a citizen shows more promise they
might be promoted to a higher tier of their citizen category. It is a common punishment for crime
to be demoted to a lower citizen tier. Each tier rewards better amenities however each tier
supports a basic rights minimum to ensure decent living in its citizenry. There are 10 tiers of
citizenship for each category and 10 more that exist outside of those categories for residents.
Ideology: The Korettt citizenry is focused on a sort of Nationalistic Zeal that promotes hard
work and dedication to the Confederacy. However settling into a position within the meritocracy
is not seen as a weakness but an accepting of one's limits. Demotions are interestingly not
considered a reflection of a citizens failings but that of the person that promoted them for not
ensuring that the citizen was ready for the change in position.
● CULTURAL CONCEPT
Controlling
Authoritarian
Armada - A combination of big ships that do lots of damage, and armies of countless
numbers.

● Asset Standards
Flyer Upgrades - Armoured
Crew Upgrades - Numerous

dedicated to preventing wide scale incursion of otherworldly, malignant beings.

Renaissance Men: Technomagi have stringent requirements for entry and induction: excellence
in STEM fields, forthrightness of moral outlook and behavior, and an ambition toward
self-improvement.

The Meeting: Every five years, they get together to share techniques and news. Contests are
often held to prove the best techniques, with winners earning the accolade of Archmage. In
times of crisis, The Meeting has been called early to collaborate. The Quantum Beacon holds
the key to the meeting time and place, and one is given to each Technomagi.

Asset Standards:
Secret Key:
Weapons and Kits made by this faction, even class 0, receive the Keyed upgrade for free.
Tobias: Nautilus Raiders amendments

- Nautilus Raiders have a racing circuit. High stakes, unregulated races.

- SWISS and Earth Directorate are hunting Draxroy Sam (Tobias) to get the AI in his
possession. The AI is ED in origin, and is meant to be an electronic warfare weapon.

Fanatic Scientific Council

Might: High-tech vessels with exceptional

miniaturization and compaction technology.
Nanotech-augmented soldiers and
automated drones.

Reach: Non-aggression pact with many

interstellar factions. Multiparty research
initiatives. Funded by sale of technological
solutions they have patented and licensed to
others.

Structure: Scientific NGO. Council-members represent the academic leaders of their fields,
chosen by means of accreditation of their peers.

Ideology: Share technology on the stipulation that it cannot be used to accelerate harm.

NanoLathe:
All vehicles, even class 0, receive the Summoned upgrade for free.

Bulldog Turrets:
All research crews are issued with a Turret Heavy Weapon to protect them.

Shuae Collective
Emerging Voluntary Hivemind

Might:
Military of the Shuae is limited, but the extreme inhospitality of
the dense gas giant of their homeworld creates an unappealing
invasion target for would-be rivals.

Weaponry is exotic, with a distinct lack of development of projectile weapons but great
advancements in Plasma weaponry, capable of burning through atmosphere and effective in the
void of space with comparatively advanced containment technology.

Being newer on the galactic stage, the Shuae deploy limited space faring vessels, even less of
which have FTL capabilities. However the Shuae have a diplomatic sponsor from the V.I.P.R.
holding to their strange societal development.

Reach:
Colonised a dozen gas giants in their localised cluster before encountering other space faring
entities.

Since then, colonisation has been limited and the Shuae Collective expands its reach through
the inclusion of the egos of other species. This is a recent development and is likely to continue
and expand.

Structure:
Shuae operate in a task-orientated cluster, where physiology suits the necessary task.
Occasionally the collective will identify an ego and body that specifically suits a task and isolate
parts of it’s mind from the consciousness itself. (Distributed utilitarianism)
Ideology:
- Understanding of the purpose of consciousness
- Integration of other consciousnesses into its own to contrast and serve.
- Understanding the consciousness of other races and how to integrate them willingly

Cultural Concepts:
Blunt Instrument Conversations: Shuae are not liked at tea parties, they ask hard questions
and expect clear answers. This is probably due to how they receive an endorphin rush in
response to a truth understood and internalized.

Understand the whole universe: The bodies and thoughts of all species are precious in some
way, and should be understood and shared.

Walk With Me: The journey each Shuae takes is one to be shared, if not with their own adjacent
compatriots, but with the collective as a whole.

Asset Standards:
Su (Living Attire)
Shuae who are biologically Shuae, wear attire that meshes with the soft flesh of their bodies,
and emphasize the bioluminescence they use to identify each other.

over males, who emphasize strengths in non-martial pursuits, such as construction,
engineering, the arts and domestic service.
Stiff Thoraxes : The prevailing personality type encountered among Alphar personnel are strict,
forceful and professional in bearing.

Asset Standards:
Martial Standard Carry: Alpharian regulations demand that all Alpharian military personnel are
armed at all times, with few exceptions.

Dorinity

Pragmatic Genetic Council

Might: Highly motivated and genetically advanced troops, advanced biochem corpus, secretive
research bases. Fleet of interstellar leviathans serve as bioships on par with contemporary
shipbuilding best practices.
Reach: Many colonized worlds with genetically integrated populaces. Dorinity-based genetic
clinics are found in large urban centers in neighboring faction space.
Structure: Meritocratic Council of varying industrial and cultural aspects of Dorinity society,
sharing power.
Ideology: Pursue advancement and ascendance of the genome, integrate willing populaces
and perfect them, be expedient and judicious.

Cultural Concepts:
Genetic Caste System: Your role in a Dorinity community is based largely on your phenotype -
warriors, scientists, and laborers have physiques and intellects to match their role.
Pragmatic To A Fault: Whether for good or ill, the pragmatism of Dorinity society is notable as
well as it is deeply disturbing.
Unusually Valorous: Dorinity culture mythologizes the journey of the hunter, and so
encourages the pursuit of challenges, whether an implacable foe or an impossible quest.

Asset Standards:
Red In Tooth And Claw
