The Galaxy

Current revision as of 17:30, 10 July 2025

You are the captain of a ship that acts as a sort of privateer for a core galactic alliance. You have license to establish a colony (Planets), and can establish more as you grow in experience. You can join with similar privateers (Legion), or combat others (PvP). You can also engage hostile targets outside the alliance (NPC). You will need to gather Artifacts, Minerals, and Research to aid in your endeavors. How to proceed is up to you.

Galactic Alliance

Founding Members

The Lazuli Syndicate

The Lepus Drones

Named for their discovery in the Lepus Cluster, these drones are bio-mechanical constructs. Each hatchling's body houses unique sensing equipment, and could prove useful if they were captured.

The Octafari

The Octafari came to the galactic alliance seeking protection from the Mylarai. However, it was a ruse, as they provided technology that was a trojan horse for them to take control. They have not caused any problems since their defeat, however.

The Q-Pedds

Rogue Science League

The Rogue Science League have been in operation for many years. They have been selling trade secrets to our enemies at the highest bid.

The Sha'din Coalition

Members of the Sha'din are recruited for their well known criminal backgrounds.
