United Solar Federation. – Humans (Apes) –“You might have bread, but do you have Circuses?”
Major Factions:
UEAAC – When the Earth’s atmosphere became toxic, the surviving nations of earth banded together to create the first colony of mars and escape the fate that the rest of the world suffered. They became known as the United Europa, Asia and Africa Conciliation.
”We must never forget why we struggle, why we suffer. Even though some of them fight against us, in the end our sole reason of existence is for the people, no matter whom, what or where they are.”
Mozenrath Hazin Bin, Premier of UEAAC. – Under the negotiations of the Unity.
Sol Corp – The biggest mega corporation out there. Started off with the invention of the Holo implant by human hands, but has spread to all species and nearly every market.
”Some of the more nihilistic people out there might assume that a lack of competition will raise our prices and lower our quality. You only need to look at our rise to power to disapprove this. We became what we are today not by swindling our customers, but producing quality goods for a decent price and earning the trust of the consumer, and destroying that trust would be a financial disaster. Besides, we earn more than most planets today, so why would we need to earn more? What would be the point?”
Anika Larsson, voice of Sol Corp. – Holo Interview in the year 21 AU (after Unity).
Glorious Sakkil Empire. – Sakkil (lizards) - “All are equal.”
Major Factions:
The grand machine. – The main part of the Sakkil Empire, where everyone is put to work, even if they want to or not.
“We are all but one part of something far greater. A simple cog in a grand machine, useless on their own but needed for the whole. Only when everyone does their part, no matter how small, can we truly achieve something magnificent.”
Grand Magistrate Vita – “We Spin, therefore we are”.
The free cogs. – Unions created after the first contact with humans. After seeing the large class divides the human had achieved, many of the Sakkil middle class banded together to make sure the empire didn’t end up with the same fate.
“Is it not the hands who build that should decide? It is the hammer that hits the steel, the one who program the machine, the one cog that spins who in the end creates wonders, not the one who direct behind closed doors. Then why is it us small cogs that have to pay with blood and sweat while they are rewarded?”
Servius Tatius, union leader. – Union meeting in year 6 BU (before Unity).
Free Hives. – Hivers (Mantis) - “Never again will we be in chains.”
Major Factions:
The Released Drones. – The largest part of the Free Hives, consisting mostly of ancestors from the so called “Worker Drones” that was able to free themselves under the Freedom war.
“We are no longer one, but many. Many minds to change our future, many mandibles to speak our wisdom and many claws to keep our freedom. We will never again be one, as one only leads to pain for the many.”
C’rk Klack’n, Chosen – Speech when being chosen, year 12 AU.
The Hive workers. – A large group of Hivers who has taken the Free Hives ideologies a step further and are trying to create a completely class less society.
“Only by gazing outwards, beyond the sense of self, can we find true enlightenment. By embracing the self of the group and seeing that the goals of us all far outweighs the goals of the one, can we finally find our true selves.”
Hive Queen Thaa Nr’k – “Why we work.”
Integrated Clans – Uredo (Plants) – “Do not see from your point of view, but from all of theirs.”
Peace Finders. – A spiritual belief that most Uredo follows, which states that true enlighten can only be achieved through understanding and compassion. Their main goal is to end all violence in the world and united all living things as one, as they believe only when they can see the world from all different viewpoints can they reach something they call transcendence.
“By isolating our ideas and only seeing it from our understanding we will only achieve stagnation. Only by accepting the views of those different then us can we finally understand everything. By bringing peace to all and linking all minds together will we finally achieve transcendence?”
The one that wanders, Clan Earth knower – “We grow.”
Integrated Clans - Cibic (Parasites) – ”If you can’t ask, then find another way to learn.”
The Grand Counsel – The Cibic species has always been eager to learn and experience new sensations, to live and understand things their ancestor never should. With these ideals they have formed an organization that not only tries to free as much information for everyone to use, but to archive it all for future generations.
“The wars of yesterday were fought with blades and blood. The wars today are fought with information. By knowing the enemy better then they knows themselves, victory can be assured without even engaging hostilities once.”
In light of Twilight, Clan Night Walker – “The war of shadows”
The Four Ways - Serpens (Snakes) – ”Learn, adapt, evolve.”
Major Factions:
The Serpens have split themselves up to four different casts with vastly different ideals and purpose.
Knowing Cast – a cast consisting of Scientists.

“Is there any greater honor than to find a safe home for our children? To create a new civilization
where justice and bravery can reign supreme? In the end, isn’t a proper nest and plentiful of food the only thing a caring parent really can ask for?”
NestLord Karas WaveDancer – “Why do we nest?”
The Grand Flock – There are those in the grand fleet that believes that their true home is in the stars, that their voyage should last forever and that they can never nest again. Willfully altering their colony ships so they can never land, these nomad has banded together to create a grand flock of space ships capable of sailing the entire galaxy.
“Where is the honor to hide on the ground? Where is the bravery to ignore our heritage? We were punished for our insolence once already and it’s clear what we must do. We will travel the worlds and find our destiny. We will find those whose courage have failed them and we will deliver justice. We will hunt. For Courage! For justice! FOR HONOR!”

They are often found in the shapes of clearly inorganic machines, with threads, cameras and flashing lights, as well as with their own quirks and culture. Many even refuse to take on a gender and instead prefers to be an it and nothing more.
