Factions of Intrest

Khoros Desert Raiders

Deserts are a vast and empty place. The rich don't understand the appeals of living in a place so lifeless, and the poor fear a land so hospitable, cruel and indifferent. Many are lost in deserts, forgotten to the vast sands of time, only those who leave their marks on the land are ever remembered, atleast more so then simple skeletal remains. In such a cruel land, only the strongest can survive, and the weak will perish. Such philosophy embodies the Khoros Desert Raiders, who chose to operate outside the walls of Talista's capital and instead make their home on the moon's many mountains. Raids are constant, and most who venture outside of the safe walls never return. And for what purpose? Many claim they need the supplies, but in reality, they do it to prove their strength, and to satisfy their passion for battle. Justifying their violent tendencies like a simple hobby, they are resolute in proving their strength and satisfying their desire for war. Despite the might of the UNSC, they dare not step under the shadow of the mountains or head out to rescue a dammed trading convoy. After all, only the strong can rule over the weak.

Olympus Council

Not much is known about the Olympus Council from the outside. Most people will have never heard of them, and the majority that have some knowledge of what the council is, will assume they are the collective 15 owners of Adept Robotics. While this is technically true, they are not just the creators of AI ran machines and human piloted drones. Beneath most of their factories, they practise their less then legal methods. Their factories are simply disguises for humanities biggest unregulated black market, and this woulldn't be possible without Tradestar. While on the surface, Tradestar is their main competitor, the council of 15 is comprised of 5 Tradestar members, who specialise in helping pioneer laser and electrical energy use. With both of their collective wealth and skills, both experimental electric powered weapons and fully functional machines of war were created, and without any legal barriers, they quickly overwhelmed the criminal underworld with their influence, many desperate to get into their illusive black market. There is nothing the council won't do to maintain their secrecy and profits. Once you enter their factory, the council will decide your fate...

Freedom and Liberation Party

The Freedom and Liberation Party(FLP) is an insurrectionist group based in the Eridanus sector, but with strong ties to the planet Mamore. In 2511, they detonated a nuclear device near one of Mamore's landmarks, killing 2 million and injuring 8 million more. Many have suspected to have died of radiation based illnesses, such as cancer, much later after the attack, making the death toll given a vast understatement. They wish for the Colonial Millitary Administration (and by extension, the UNSC) to leave the Eridanus system, their proud home. To them, their home is simply not the same under the control of the filth that is the UEG. the UEG don't deserve the worlds they subjugate, and the FLP would rather see their homeworld in a blazing inferno rather then owned by the "Cancer of the Colonies". If the people don't own it, no one should. They will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. After all, a million deaths is just a statistic.

Republic of Gao

While Gao is an incredibly bio diverse place, with plenty of unique creatures, such as great apes and snails with no shells, a functioning government is still operational, and democracy is still maintained, ran by a Cabinet of Ministers and an elected president. One would consider this to be the perfect UEG world, but this isn't quite the case. The Gao Charter declares their sovereignty, and requires all members of government to oppose anyone who would dare impeach their freedom. Their primary tactics and doctorine focus stealth, infiltration and sabotage, which has won them many "battles" in the past without having to fire a single bullet, instead burning the supplies of their enemies and forcing them to starve or surrender. They have tried on a few occasions to justify conflict against the UNSC, with little success. Despite this, they remain one of the most technologically advanced competetors to the UNSC, and maintain public support for the Insurrection movement. Their supplies are invaluable to the insurrection, and assist wherever they can through their agents in the Ministry of Protection. Democracy may slow their action, but they will never stop until the UNSC submits to the freedom fighters they support.
