The galaxy is shaped not only by governments and species, but by powerful organisations that operate across its rings, each with their own ideologies, methods, and territories. These factions influence everything from diplomacy to warfare, from commerce to sabotage. Some fight in the light. Others manipulate from the shadows.
Aegis Eternum
Faction Type: Paramilitary-Scientific Coalition
Headquarters: A.R.S Ignition
Known For: High-risk galactic defence, Eventum research, black ops precision
Summary:
Aegis Eternum is a unified force of elite scientists, strategists, and operatives formed to confront existential threats, especially the Milark. Unlike traditional militaries, Aegis operates outside political boundaries, often using morally ambiguous methods in the name of survival. Their symbol, a radiant shield, represents their mission: to stand between the galaxy and annihilation.
Notable Members: Commander Avery, Zarek Thorne, Cella Tonoi, Asami Tabo, Sydney Law, Isacc Taylor
The Revenants
Faction Type: Mercenary and Black Ops Syndicate
Headquarters: Unknown (fleet-based)
Known For: High-tech raids, sabotage, and arms dealing
Summary:
The Revenants are a ruthless mercenary group with access to cutting-edge Eclipse Engineering tech. They’re hired by the highest bidder and feared for their surgical strikes. Revenants often clash with Aegis forces, and are rumoured to have ties to rogue megacorporations and disavowed Council experiments. A faction of them roam the Beacon under control from Nessa Moryn.
Notable Traits: Plasma-weapons, stealth armor, ex-Council operatives
Scarlet Void
Faction Type: Pirate Confederation
Headquarters: Mobile (Primarily in Ring 6 and 7 sectors)
Known For: Smuggling, blockades, and hyperspace raiding
Summary:
The Scarlet Void is less a unified fleet and more a loose brotherhood of pirate clans flying under one blood-red banner. While often disorganised, when united under a strong leader, the Scarlet Void becomes a major galactic threat. Their ships are heavily modified, their tactics unpredictable. A contingent is housed on the Beacon, under the watchful eye of Nessa Moryn.
Cultural Code: Blood-forged oaths, captain-led democracy, anti-Council ideology
Murmur Syndicate
Faction Type: Covert Counterintelligence Network
Headquarters: Unknown
Known For: Memory hacking, psychological warfare, data corruption
Summary:
The Murmur Syndicate believes truth is a weapon and memory is malleable. Operating from the deep web of galactic data streams, they implant false recollections, erase inconvenient histories, and destabilise governments without firing a single shot. They view both the Cypher and the Council as flawed systems to be undermined.
Known Operatives: Completely anonymous. Suspected of grooming rogue brokers.
Eclipse Engineering
Faction Type: Corporate R&D Division (Subsidiary of Revenants)
Headquarters: Classified (Believed to be mobile and fragmented)
Known For: High-end weapons R&D, experimental tech deployment
Summary:
Eclipse Engineering serves as the black lab and technical brain behind many Revenant operations. They specialize in rapid prototyping of advanced weapon systems, cybernetic augmentations, and stealth tech. Operating outside legal frameworks, Eclipse often tests their creations in live field scenarios with little concern for collateral damage.
Signature Projects: Adaptive cloaking rigs, plasma destabilisers, neural disruptors
Relos Mining Corporation
Faction Type: Interstellar Resource Extraction Consortium
Headquarters: Ring 8, asteroid refinery cluster
Known For: High-risk mining operations, deep-space drilling, rare element exports
Summary:
Relos Mining Corp is one of the largest suppliers of raw materials in the galaxy. Though officially unaffiliated with any political body, their operations often attract the attention of smugglers, pirates, and rogue science divisions. Known for their aggressive expansion into unregulated zones, Relos employs private security fleets and automated defense drones to secure their claims.
Controversies: Accused of exploiting post-Milark dead zones and bribing local planetary officials for mineral rights
