USF & Faction Lore
United Stellar Federation
In the 24th century, the USF is the primary political system to bring order to the Milky Way Galaxy. The USF is ruled by a Supreme Chancellor , with Senators representing every sector within USF control. The USF includes also includes Ambassadors from various planets, moons and asteroid belts, primarily within the Sol System, as well as some more populated regions of deep space.
The USF provides security, oversees space travel between ExoGates, and ensure the unique strengths of human factions are leveraged effectively against outside threats. The USF Senate sets the overall strategy and assigns contracts to the leaders of each faction based on their capabilities and influence.
Major Factions
The three dominant factions are:
Roqore Offworld
Roqore evolved from mining corporations on the Australian continent on Earth. Primarily interested in mining extraction and optimizing yields, Roqore territory includes the rich mining areas of Olympus Mons on Mars, as well as large areas of the Martian Moon known as Deimos.
Roqore is known for its resilience and resourcefulness. The harsh environment of Mars has forged a tough and adaptable population, well-suited to the challenges of working in space.
Roqore spacecraft are designed for durability and long-range missions, with advanced life support systems and self-repair capabilities. Their ships are equipped with strong shields and heavy armor, allowing them to withstand prolonged engagements with enemy forces. Roqore miners and engineers are skilled at extracting and processing resources, providing the USF with the raw materials needed to sustain the war effort.
Saryon State
The Saryon control large sections of Earth, as well as a major space station near Jupiter, and a strong presence on Jupiter's Io moon. Renowned for formidable military might and disciplined armed forces, Saryon synths and soldiers are highly trained and equipped with advanced weapons making them a fearsome presence.
Saryon spacecraft are heavily armored, designed to engage enemies in direct combat. Their ships are equipped with powerful energy weapons and advanced targeting systems, allowing them to inflict heavy damage on enemy forces. Saryon commanders are known for their tactical expertise and ability to coordinate large-scale assaults against opposition strongholds.
The Saryon capital of Gish Patera is built within the harsh Io terrain, drawing vast energy from the volcanic activity found across the equator.
Zaikov Industries
The Zaikov trace their origins to the economic powerhouses on Earth formally known as Japan and Russia. Known for their advanced technology and scientific research, the Zaikov play a crucial role in developing new weapons and defenses. Their headquarters in the city of Fujin, on Neptune's Triton moon houses state-of-the-art laboratories and research facilities, where Zaikov scientists work tirelessly to understand space travel technology.
In battle, the Zaikov Alliance deploy advanced spacecraft and drones, equipped with precision weapons and stealth technology. Their ships are designed for speed and manoeuvrability, allowing them to strike quickly and evade enemy fire. Zaikov tacticians are known for their innovative strategies and ability to adapt to changing battlefield conditions.
Renowned for their innovation in space travel, Zaikov control the NEX9 station near Neptune, as well as the highly lucrative Rezium mining operations in the Kalin System.
Major Corporations
As part of the reconstruction efforts following the Andiros Wars. The USF has supported the development of major corporations. This was seen as a way to optimize resource use and create incentives for cooperation between human and synth workers.
Many of the most powerful corporations were connected with factions. These included the manufacturers Tyrron Corp (Roqore), Daison Avionics (Saryon), and Cynosure (Zaiku).
