THE COLONIES: FACTIONS
- Factions are various groups or alliances that formed during or after The Blight struck the universe. Each one has distinct differences and goals from one another, be them good or evil, and will oftentimes find themselves clashing with each other somewhere in the star system. The most notable factions are shown below, which players will have the option of being a part of. With the plot being entirely player-driven, Factions can be dismantled at any time if they are destroyed in the plot, or new ones may even rise to take their place. Players may also change Factions at any time, if the opportunity to do so arises.
THE ANTI-POWERED BEING ALLIANCE (APBA)
- Those affected by The Blight are still not openly accepted, even twenty years later. A lot of the populace blames Powered Beings for the problems plaguing the galaxy, and The Anti-Powered Being Alliance was formed to track and defeat Powered Beings, believing it to be for the greater good. They are the central police force of the galaxy. Their primary targets are The Rogues. The APBA specializes in fighting through both natural honing of their abilities, as well as using heavy amounts of technology to augment their skills. They are the largest practitioner of cyborgs, energy weapons, and power armor. THE APBA find their home some of the largest ships and military establishments throughout the galaxy.
THE ROGUES
- The Rogues are some of the most dangerous beings to ever exist in the star system, and are the reason Powered Beings as a whole have a bad reputation. While mostly comprised of Powered Beings, those who were overcome with greed and betrayed the APBA found their home here as well. They are seen as pirates and conquerors, and many think of them as a physical embodiment of The Blight itself. They claim to be fighting for the good of all Powered Beings. Their primary opponent is the APBA, but they will stop at nothing to destroy anyone and anything in their way. The Rogues exist to capture and enslave planets, harnessing their energy. They have their eyes on Mars and the blighted Earth. The Rogues find their home in ships that can rival the APBA, as well as any place they managed to run the inhabitants out of.
THE FEDERATION
- A group formed of humans, cyborgs, Powered Beings, and other lifeforms who want nothing but peace in the galaxy. They believe in non-violence and seek to iron out differences and problems through diplomacy. The Federation has seen a rise in popularity in the last twenty years, although they initially had a rocky start when The Blight struck. The Rogues often make their job harder, and they find themselves in constant disagreement with the APBA for their different methods. While they desire peace and desire not to fight, The Federation is home to some capable fighters who will protect what they hold dear. Their home is a large building on Mars, and they hope to reclaim their home on Earth in the future.
INDEPENDENTS
- Independents are those who don't align themselves with any faction and wish to stay out of the politics of the galaxy. Most of them have no ties to one another, nor share any goals and live their lives for themselves. They can be any race, whether they have powers or use technology. Some of them prefer to live in peace, while others have odd jobs such as being mercenaries for hire or local heroes in their own cities, or even small time thieves. A group with no alignment or no set home.
