Official Constellation‘s End factions

These are the official Constellation‘s End Factions

The Federation
The Federation is the oldest of the three superpowers.

The Federation of Sol is a constitutional Democracy founded in 2135 in New Geneva, Switzerland, after rampant climate change had killed two-thirds of the population and rendered vast parts of the world, including large parts of Asia and Africa, uninhabitable, in hopes of making a brighter future. The Federation quickly searched for a new home in space as the population began to recover from the trauma of climate change. Just 20 years after the founding of the Federation, the pre-existing colonies on Luna, Mars, and the asteroid Belt had significantly grown in size, harboring many millions of people who emigrated from the ashen remains of our homeland. So many chose to emigrate to Mars that Colonia Maxima was soon the largest non-Earth city and soon named the capital of the Federation. But not all were happy with the unification. The outlaws sought freedom from any organized political state. They spread across the Solar system in makeshift starships, but only a minor fraction of them turned to resorts such as Piracy and outright terrorism. It took another 35 years to unify the rag-tag outer rim of our home system until, one day, a star-sent scientist finally unlocked the secrets behind FTL travel: The Phase-shift Drive. This groundbreaking new invention allowed the Federation to spread the stars. One by one, Massive Colony ships embarked on a journey to the stars. But, one such colony vessel, the Shin-Tao, thought that it had enough of the Federation’s continued expansion and its crew decided to want to form their own destiny. They settled on Achen, founding what is nowadays known as the Confederate Impyrium. Those two juvenile political powers were on a course for greatness, soon to be rebranded superpowers. The Federation’s reach was great. No other faction could ever rival its greatness, with only the Impyrium coming close. Today, 248 years later, the Federation controls over 10’000 individual populated star systems, which equates to most of Sector 1 and parts of Sectors 2 and 6, with the Federation recently also beginning to expand into Sector N-1.

The Confederate Impyrium of Acheno
The Impyrium is a Democracy that originated in Sirius after a brief and virtually bloodless rebellion against the then still-fledgling Federation.

The Confederate Impyrium of Acheno, or the Confederacy, in short, is the second of the three main superpowers. The Impyrium originated on the world of Achenar in the Sirius system, after the settlers on the Ark ship U.F.S Shin-tao rebelled against the Federation and demanded their independence. The descendants of the Captain of the Shin-Tao carry a position of great honor and renown even now. As the second-oldest and largest superpower, the Impyrium is quite influential in civilized areas and is almost as powerful as the Federation, arriving in Sector N-1 In 2430.

The Orion Union
The Union is a liberal democracy and the smallest of the three superpowers.

The Orion Union, or Union, in short, was founded in 2355 by a group of colonists in the then still mostly unexplored sector 9, quickly gaining traction in that region and was, when the Federation and empire came along, the most powerful faction in that area of space. The Union established its presence in Sector N-1 in 2435, thereby being at a disadvantage compared to the other superpowers.

Wayland Botanics
Wayland Botanics is the oldest of the large Megacorps of the sectors, existing even before the Federation. Wayland Botanics is famously known for terraforming Mars, the Federation Capital. It has started to grow a presence in Sector N-1 as reports of potentially usable terraforming candidates arrived and has even set up a trading station there along with civilian and military presence.

The Deep Space Mining Corp
The Deep Space Mining Corporation has been the most influential Mining corp in the sectors for many centuries. They are so powerful in that field that they practically own a monopoly towards ore processing. No mining company or individual escapes its grasp. The DSMC has established a foothold in Sector N-1 due to long-range scanners showing unusual material readings, which point to a new and possibly revolutionary material, which the DSMC wants to have its hands on first, to eliminate any chance of opposition.

Aegis Division
Aegis Division is an individual Defense Initiative founded by the Federation and Impyrium to keep the peace and defend against the reavers and other factions that committed treason against Humanity. In 2398 Division has received troubling reports about ships disappearing, most famously, the Prototype FNV Solaris, which headed into the region of space now known as Sector N-1, which caused Aegis Division to establish a series of quantum scanner arrays and scouting fleets in Sector N-1 in 2410.

Centaurus Traders
The Centaurus Traders are the largest Independent Trading company in civilized sectors. Recently, in 2436, they established a trading outpost in Sector N-1 to transport goods harvested in that area the long distance to the capital sectors.

Omega Industries
Omega Industries is the oldest one of the independent corporations, processing materials and making ships, which are all reasonably popular by independent System Authorities. Due to the increased presence in Sector N-1, Omega Industries recently established some shipyards and refineries to expand and profit.

The Heretical Church
The Heretical Church is a neo-religious cult based on the Monarchial church from old earth. They long hid in isolation in the outer reaches of civilization. They were the first to occupy Sector N-1, 20 standard years before the Federation came.

The Reavers
The Reavers are a group of extremists that terrorize the civilized sectors. Some speculate that they may not be fully human, instead using cyborg implants. Despite focused efforts by the superpowers, they failed to eliminate any of the Reaver's leaders, captives killing themselves the moment it is made clear that they are in captivity.

The Neo-Sanghelion Liberation Order
Also known as the NSLO

The NSLO's homeworld, Sanghelion, was under the oppression of the Reavers for many years before they started building a navy in secret to resist the reavers. For the suffering of their homeworld, they blame the superpowers for not protecting them sufficiently and are now openly attacking the superpowers and trying to bring the old Order down.

Martin Spaceways
A relatively new Shipyard funded by Union Command at roughly the same time that the Union was declared a superpower, known for their sturdy civilian vessels and excellent hull technology, which the exact alloy composition for is still only produced by Martin Spaceways.

Gallaya
Gallaya is the primary spaceship supplier of the Impyrium, also known for their ferocious combat vessels, which are also the most luxurious around, their mighty warships having artificial gravity chambers for senatorial officials to dine and house several important officials during a long Phase shift travel.

Central Dynamics
Central Dynamics sell ships solely for the Federation. Manufacturing ships since 2168, they are the first substantial shipyard to sell PSD-capable vessels. Their spacefaring spaceships are heavily militarized, featuring many similarities to military installations.

Typhoon Corporation
Producing mostly voluminous capital, industrial ships, and stations, Typhoon corporation is known for its famous Capitol-Class station design, which is entirely modular and is used around the sectors by independent Factions. Typhoon Corporation established its Shipyard branch in 2255. Central Dynamics tried to make them a subsidiary several times, though they never succeeded.

Rakana Shipyards
This Corporation has settled in the Rakana Star Cluster in 2270, claiming the majority of it before a superpower could intervene. Considered a state, Rakana then started producing ships after the upsurge of popularity for PSD capable ships and now is one of the biggest shipyards outside of superpower control.

Aegis Defense Yards
Located at a top-secret location known only to the highest-standing individuals, Aegis Defense Yards is a sub corporation by Aegis Division, producing the best ships to be found anywhere for their class to fight against the threat of the Reavers and the NSLO.

Hyperion Systems
A shipyard that has existed since 2180, populating the Orion system as an independent faction, they are the second oldest of the shipyards, being direct competition for central dynamics.

Haanan Drive Yards
Haanan Drive Yards is a subsidiary of Haanan Corporation which controls the bulkiest industrial system in sector 1, Hanaan. They are very popular with independent factions, having major successes from their ships, all heavily industrialized.

Ranonian Tactical Systems
Ranonian Tactical Systems is a Shipyard that researches and builds tactical military vessels. A small team of engineers. The engineers were provided materials by an unknown entity trying to look for tactical info in shipwrecks and abandoned spaceships, founded Ranonian Tactical Systems. The PCP design sub-group originated from this shipyard. Not much information is available about it except that it was founded in 2294 by an underpaid engineer.
