Faction Leader Name:
Appearance: (Description or picture)
Short Bio: (Tell a bit about yourself. Where you came from, Earth or the First Worlds? Why did you leave? What was your plan for your colony prior to the Sack?)
Faction name:
Settlement name: (While your faction may have multiple inhabited areas on the planet, the bulk of your population and infrastructure is still centered around your first city. What is it called?
Colony Theme: Summarize your colony’s founding dream and ideology in a few sentences.
Population Notes: (Human? More-than-human? Talk about your colonial society. Generally colonies that depend upon genemodding and cybernetics are slower to grow due to complexity of augmentation and narrower appeal to immigrants, but make up for it with specialties. General settlement sizes average about a hundred-thousand people before modifiers and critical infrastructure.)

Critical Infrastructure (Besides various civilian habitation and light economic industries and resourcing operations, you have six core pillars of your colonial society, economy, and relevant resources for planetary defense. At the start of the game you have your governing district, a space asset, and four write-in assets of your choice. At the moment none of them are militarized or turned to war-work yet, and if you lose too many your colony will collapse.)
Governing District (Describe a bit about what your center of leadership and administration is like. Architecture, design, purpose, any specialities your administration has achieved so far.)
Space Asset (Your colony has at least one asset in space. This can be a moonbase, a major asteroid mining operation, communication satellites, a group of freighters under direct colonal charter, or other useful things in orbit.)
Write-in Assets (You can devise up to four other major assets that form the core identity and structure of your colony. Must state if ground or space based.)

Sample Critical Infrastructure and benefits:
Heavy Industrial Sector: A district of automated factories and heavy manufacturing power that fabricates everything needed for a growing colonial society. Can be converted to war industry. Space versions tend to be larger and quicker to expand than ground-based ones, but are more exposed in orbit and harder to protect.
Hab-Support Sector: A district turned over to water purifiers, power stations, hospitals, and a dozen other systems for sustaining a large colony. While most colonial habitation has equivalent systems, they are small-scale and may not have enough surplus capacity to fuel war industries or accommodate sudden influxes of refugees or disasters. This district does.
Asteroid Mining Operation: Your colony has a large mining ship dwelling in the asteroid belts drilling for precious ores and fuel elements. While slow and STL-only, it provides a bounty of industrial resources.
Hab-Complex: A high-density habitation complex filled with tens of thousands of people. Manpower is a precious resource on a colonial world to crew factories and man starships, and your colony has a considerable surplus.
Monument: You have a major center of cultural activity, espousing your ideology and brightening your skylines. Cultural output can yield new reasons for immigrants to come to your colony, bringing new ideas, specialists, and people.
Specialized Heavy Industry Complex (X): While generalist fabricators and factories are regularly used, some technology is best made by purpose-made facilities, like starship parts.
Spaceport: While every colony has landing pads and basic air control for receiving shuttles, your colony has a actual space station to accommodate incoming freighters in orbit and support a chain of heavy lifters to move cargos rapidly.
Freighter Shipyard: While simple freighter designs can be built on the surface or assembled in spacelifted prefab modules, larger freighters require dedicated yards in orbit. Your colony has one and it’s a major center of your economy’s industrial power.
Lucrative Consumer Good: Your colony has several factories and facilities dedicated towards a unique and high-value consumer good in high demand. Be it a unique medicine, awesome mediamemes, or useful civil-servobots, you have something you can really trade.

Faction Leader Name: The Pilgrims have no single leader in their colony but are lead by their own council of representatives from the various districts of their own. When the joint defense council of Aio was founded They voted to send Representative Claiden.

Appearance: A tanned skinned man with a hazel coloured left eye. His dark hair is cut short and is greying at the temples. A gruff looking man with weathered features that naturally lean themselves towards a frown. Broad shouldered and solidly built, Claiden clearly holds himself with rigid posture and the kind of body language that looks like he's always sizing up everything around him.

But that's just the organic parts of his body. Claiden's origional right eye and arm are completely gone. Some scaring is still visible around his face to remind him of the injury that took them from him. The bionic eye is of a design that doesn't even try to look human, just like most Pilgrim augments. A bright yellow lens that goes flat over the surface of his skull and is held in place by a charcoal coloured metal frame that goes around his eye socket like an old style eye patch and curves around the back of his head to the back of his skull where its protective form meets the input sockets that let him interact with his colony's mainframe.

His cybernetic right arm follows the same colour scheme, down to the dark mixture of blacks and greys, laced with luminous veins of yellow gold light. The shoulder and bicep jut up and out respectively with its own form of industrial carapace. even as the forearm and hand become thinner and more delicate the design keeps to an aesthetic of stark straight lines and sharp armoured angles. Claiden said goodbye to having sleeves on his right arm a long time ago, looking like he bears this prosthetic with pride. The arm on its own gives the impression that its armoured exterior was made to intimidate as well as protect its inner workings.

Under his clothes are a few smaller plates and signs of internal enhancements that allowed Claiden's body to support its new fixtures and operate at a higher level than biology would allow.

Short Bio:
"Name?" Asked the registrar.

"Claiden."

"And the rest?" They asked after an awkward pause.

"It's just Claiden these days."

They arched the tattoo that served as an eyebrow. "One of those, eh?"

Like most of his fellow pilgrims Claiden is from one of the first worlds. He doesn't know much about the history of Old Earth but from what he's heard once the first colonies started declaring independence the galaxy started resembling a time in human history called "The Wild West". Caliden grew up in a time openly ruled by corporations and where the powerful wielded their influence with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer. The bright side of it for someone like him was that since all the rules were being broken and remade over the colonies it left a world of possibilities open to him.

In Claiden's case he got his break in the unchecked rise of private military companies among the First Worlds. He signed up to a company called "The Cult of The Rich" early on and served for a year when the company was hired to help put down a military coup in an outter colony. It was also where a plasma mortar strike hit his unit and blasted Claiden half into oblivion. Laying out on the table he just managed to put a thumbprint on the tablet, giving the docs consent to chop and drill away, whatever they had to do to keep him alive. When Claiden woke up he was less human than he was before.

He served in "The Cult" for another decade before retiring from active service and finding his way to somewhere more peaceful. By then Claiden had modified his enhancements and taken on more voluntary ones by then. He'd even dabbled with mind altering mods, afterall who needs to deal with your issues when you can just suppress the nightmares. Claiden could live comfortably out in the older colonies but he was always left with wanting more.

That was when he found religion! The Ardent Path sprung up on the first worlds, shoving aside the religions of Old Terra in the face of the rapid human diaspora and expansion. Ardent's don't believe in a god per se but believe that each person holds within them a spark of the divine. That no personal god exists in the traditional sense but gave itself to create them and that it is the duty of each person to seek ways to improve themselves and the purpose of life is to reach the zenith of your potential. Though it was started by unaugmented humans it was only a matter of time before the faith had to decide where it stood on bio-engineering and artificial enhancements.

The church Claiden found was okay with it! Ardents and their devotee priests could agree with it as an way to help folks reach their peak, so long as the tech didn't become a crutch. It was here that he found people willing to talk him through a way to actually accept his new body. In fact there were a ton of cyborgs in the congregation, it turned out a lot of them in his city really did know each other. Most took pride in their machine selves if only to spite the CA jerks that put so many restraints on them! Sure any jackass can have a pulse rifle but get an arm that can punch through concrete and you're a public threat!

It was during this time of his life that Claiden met several other cyborgs that had built lives for themselves and had used their enhancements to rise to the top of their industries like he had. With some backing from the Ardent church (which was really taking off in terms of political power) they put together a colony effort, one on a planet far from the CA where folks like them could live free and make cybernetic laws free of Old Terra's prejudice and corruption.

The plan was to make their new city self sufficient as soon as possible before branching out into off planet trading and expanding their heavy industry. It was also a request of The Ardentia that the colonists give them a defined presence in the colony they had helped fund and spread it where possible. A religious representative is on the Pilgrim's own council but it is their own Ardent's aim to see the faith spread to their neighbour colonies as well.

Now in the wake of the sack the pilgrims have had to salvage what they can. Still reeling from the trauma of the destruction their populace are divided on where their colony should go from here. Some believe they should only militarize as much as needed to defend themselves from future raids so that the majority can continue to focus on the pursuits that first brought them to found the colony. Others are looking to turn their facilities to more aggressive means and expanding in the face of external threats.

Either way it falls to Claiden to help shape how his home colony will make its way on this new world alongside the others. He wasn't happy to go back into the military world but he was one of the most experienced members of the pilgrim council in that field and a one of the colony founders, giving him the right kind of clout to sit next to the other colony leaders.

Faction name: The Steel Pilgrims

Settlement name: Touchdown City

Colony Theme: Manifest cybernetic destiny! The steel pilgrims are a people who have each in some way fused themselves with technology. Theirs is a society built upon finding the balance between the fusion of technology and the human spirit. A place where the individual may find their own path and not be bound by the stagnant ways of the old world. The future is here and though we are each individual we have each found a similar path to ascend what we were.

Population Notes: This is a colony founded by cyborgs. Though most residents still regard themselves as human, just with highly advanced prosthetic and enhancements, the founders who first brought it to life own the word. The early population group was brought together by The Ardent Path and members of the church make up a large portion of the population. Their branch is often having to defend itself these days, making it clear that they are NOT a machine cult. Simply members of a congregation who all share similar mechanical enhancements.

Unlike a certain other council representative, these colonists do put their faith in the immutable strength of metal. Like Claiden himself many of them have adopted cybernetic parts that pop with artificial colours of some kind and are shaped by inorganic designs. Elective enhancements are becoming more common in Touchdown city now that CA laws are not weighing people down under as much and since the sack many are looking for more quick and tangible forms of protection.

Critical Infrastructure (Besides various civilian habitation and light economic industries and resourcing operations, you have six core pillars of your colonial society, economy, and relevant resources for planetary defense. At the start of the game you have your governing district, a space asset, and four write-in assets of your choice. At the moment none of them are militarized or turned to war-work yet, and if you lose too many your colony will collapse.)

Governing District Touchdown City started life as an Ark class settlement ship. Vessels like that are made to land hard and plant themselves on the planet surface, opening up and being dismantled into easy to build prefab housing. The pilgrims have progressed since then, making their own modest cityscape. The origins are still clear though, as the remains of the ship that would found Touchdown City are planted right in the city centre, looking like the bones of a metallic space whale that have been picked over by scavengers. The council members have made their official quarters out of the ones they had on the voyage over. Located high over the public park that was made out of the landing crater once colonists were able to move out into the city proper. It shines with a soft glow at night, former emergency exit and warning lights coming to life like fireflies.

There is an official meeting room for the Pilgrim council but it is rarely used these days as each member as been modified so that they can link into a private communication channel, allowing them to talk to each other at any time without the use of external devices.

Starting Space Asset: Satellite Hark - A communications satellite, linked to Touchdown City. Hark is reponsible for the extensive communications network that runs through Touchdown City, meaning its residents need never fear a bad signal. It is also capable of relaying long range signals, allowing Touchdown to stay in contact with the first worlds and outer colonies. Although their initial plan was to get away from the reach of external authorities the founding pilgrims knew better than to cut themselves off from the galaxy completely.

Write-in Assets
Asset #1 The Ardent Church. A residential district including a circular building that serves as a place of meditation for each devotee of the Ardent Path. dotted throughout the district is a library, art gallery and various small businesses that have all found sponsorship thanks to the Ardentia. Whether you are a member of the congregation or not there is somewhere in "The Paths" where you can get away from the industry of the city and find a quiet pleasure. Be it a good bar with friends or talking philosophy or the arts, the things here have kept the public morale up even in the wake of the sacking.

Asset #2 Hab-support sector Alpha. Mechanically enhanced or not the Pilgrims are still mostly biological and need food, water and good air. This was something the founders agreed it was better to be over prepared for so HSS-Alpha was constructed. Dedicated water treatment plants, hospitals, and medical engineering facilities make up just some of the district's facilities.

Asset #3 Ground breakers Ltd. A specialised heavy industry sector, headed by Pilgrims with a history in the mining industry. These factories specialise in making heavy machinery that helped speed up the construction of Touchdown City and had planned to break into making mining equipment once the city was ready.

Asset #4 The Workshop. A ground based heavy industrial sector full of automated work lines and fabrication machinery that requires neural links or cybernetic limb links to get working. The ark ship that brought the Pilgrims was full of raw materials and once this sector was up and running Touchdown City was able to able to expand rapidly and reach a higher standard of living before raiders ran rampant through it.

FACTION NAME: Anehekt Dynasty
SETTLEMENT NAME: Anehekt
COLONY THEME: Headed by an extremely ambitious man, banished and hunted by the Central Authority due to his mastery of Mind-Shackle Implants. He and his closest followers seek immortality and a dominion amongst the stars to rule themselves as kings and queens.

POPULATION: Very few in the Nethalis Dynasty do not have the ubiquitous Mind Shackle Implant, a mechanical device fitted to a person's spine and skull which renders them entirely under the control of whoever is in control. All but the upper echelons are fitted with such devices however the Mind Shackle Implants can be adjusted to allow for more or less free will from being nearly independent with strong suggestions floating in ones mind to becoming as obeying and loyal as machines.

Only the extremely ambitious ever come to Anehekt, City of Kings, of their own free will. All others are either bred within the shifting sands or they are brought in as slaves, convicts or prisoners whose free wills will be drained and replaced with undying loyalty.

CRITICAL INFRASTURCTURE

ADMINISTRATION COMPLEX: There is a strict hierarchy to things in Anehekt where only loyalty and ambition is respected. At the very top is the Pharaoh who rules all with unquestioned power. Below him are the Viziers, the most powerful individuals below the Pharaoh and often take on grandiose names in a symbol of leaving whatever they had in the past behind them as they now serve the Pharaoh. And serving them are those whose loyalty are so strong that their Mind Shackle Implants are hardly needed, the Heralds who act as their master's eyes, ears and iron fist. The only others who are free of the MSIs are the Fabricators, those who oversee the Implant control networks and its implantation into hosts as well as the entombment of humans into constructs to they may transcend their mortal forms, willing or not.

Appearances wise, Anehekt sports a "glamorous ultiariansm" where while many of the buildings start as simple gunmetal colored buildings, they are soon covered in glyphs, art and detailing made of gold and jewels and iconography of death in an almost mocking way. All light is produced by obelisks and many buildings feature glowing lines of color to show whose domain it is. This creates a clashing sense of both ancient tombs and futuristic cleanliness that is all the more jarring with the silent, lifeless looking thralls who wander the streets doing their master's bidding.

SPACE ASSEST: The Obelisk of Heavens
A great space elevator that shoots straight into the stars, the Obelisk is the primary port of entry for many of the resources and ships the colony demands. It is also a key part of the control network for the Mind Shackle Implants and thus heavily fortified and defended both in orbit and on the ground.

WRITE-IN ASSESTS:

1) River Lybria Agriopolis
A massive farming center with many dozens of layers of massive farms so great that they have taken up the entire water supply of the River Lybria. All of the food for the colony is grown here and is also one of its chief exports to anyone who doesn't mind eating food harvested and grown by mind controlled tenant farmers. While mostly food is grown, a number of dyes are also grown for the used both to export and to color the cloth to display the magnificence of the Viziers and the Pharoah.

2) Embalming Catacombs
Part cloning facility, part Mind Shackle implantation facility, the underground Embalming Catacombs plays a critical role in Anehekt. Very few people come to the Conclave of their own free will and the even the act of buying prisoners of convicts isn't enough to quench the thirst for manpower. Thus dabbling in the forbidden art of cloning has been used to create legions of loyal, obedience thralls with little free will of their own to act as everything from guards to farmers.

3) Entombment WorkshopSome tasks require a more muscular and brutish application of force. As such, Anehekt entombs people into constructs loving designed and carved by the Fabricators believing that the undying loyalty of a mind shackled human is far greater than that of a corruptible AI. From these factories, constructs march out -some just taller than a human, others towering statues and titans- ready to serve their masters as they stand perfectly motionless like statues, awaiting orders.
4) The Nexus Archive Pylons
All of the control and command orders are routed through the Nexus Archive, boosted through the Obelisk of Heavens and further subdivided between Pylons that act as extensions of the network. It is through this which the will of the Viziers are done and the minds of the people controlled.

Faction Leader Name: Lexi Kern

Appearance: Lexi, like most citizens of the Collective, is tall and lean, healthy looking female in her thirties. She has dark long hair and there is an ever-present smile on her face. Most of the time she wears a white lab cloak and comfortable clothes underneath it.

Short Bio:
Lexi was born on Earth in a rather poor family. She was always a great student, interested in studying human body and helping people. Her family didn’t have enough money to pay for a proper higher education, but Lexi worked hard and earned scholarships on the best universities, soon becoming an expert in medicine.

After her brother died from a botched-up augmentation, she left Earth and travelled between the First Worlds, working as a doctor. She could see how irresponsibly people treated their bodies, tainting it with unnecessary technology, often to the point of becoming more machine than a man. She was lucky enough to stumble over the Nibari Collective, at that time only a small group of people who renounced all augmentations and implants.

The Collective quickly grew stronger, and soon they decided to leave their original world and start anew somewhere else. The journey wasn’t without difficulties, but after landing on Aio and building foundations of Siderea, the people could finally rest, having a peaceful place to live as they wanted to.

Lexi never cared much about the politics, she appreciated that the people were chosen for the Committee based on their skills and intelligence but had no interest in becoming one of them. Rather than that she invested her time and effort into research, trying to eradicate several diseased that appeared when the Collective was settling on Aio.

Two years ago, she was chosen to join the Committee and she reluctantly agreed, under the condition that she could also continue with her research. Being chosen a representative for the entire Collective didn’t affect her life much – at the time, it was mostly a formal position with no real responsibilities.

---

Faction name: The Nibari Collective
Settlement name: Siderea

Colony Theme: The Nibarians believe that human body is sacred and should not be tainted by any mechanical or genetical augmentations. They prefer using advanced exoskeletons and various piloted machinery and focus on improving those, rather than their bodies.

Population Notes:
Population is 100% human. Augmented people may enter the cities to trade or visit but will never be considered citizens. Any citizen who undergoes any form of bodymodding loses their rights and are imprisoned or executed.

The society is strongly focused on family and health. Multiple generations of one family often live together and have close relationships. Every couple is encouraged to have at least five children to help the population grow. Personal health is also very important – healthy and balanced meals and regular exercise are values that each citizen holds dear.

Nibarians don’t believe in democracy, but rather in technocracy or geniocracy, meaning the society is led by a group of experts and intelligent people from various fields. This group is called The Committee. Its members pass laws and edicts in their respective fields, and debate with others over matters that cover multiple areas. Each year, they elect one member to be the representative of the Collective.

Critical Infrastructure
Governing District
Governing District is not a district per se. Different governmental buildings for each ministry stand in the appropriate areas – the Ministry of Research is located in the center of the research campus in Siderea, the Ministry of Agriculture near the hydroponics gardens complex, etc.
There is one central complex – The Governmental Hub, a beautiful tall building surrounded with parks, lakes and playgrounds in the center of Siderea. This is a place where the Committee meets, but also a place to which every citizen can come and raise a suggestion, make a complaint, or just spend some time with their families.

Space Asset - Mining station Janko-6
Located at a nearby asteroid field, this mining station serves as a base for a squad of mining drones and their operators. Janko-6 provides the colony with various materials critical for its development. The raw ores are transported right into the industrial zone via cargo freighters.

Write-in Assets
1) Industrial Complex – a large complex located outside of Siderea, filled with smelters, refineries and various factories. The industry is focused on creating advanced exoskeletons, remotely piloted drones and machinery used to make life of the Nibarians easier. There are also multiple landing pads for cargo freighters near the smelters.

2) Research and Development Campus – the smartest citizens gather here to improve existing technologies and research new ones. The research is heavily focused on machinery, mechanics, advanced materials and medicine. There are also universities and education centers located in the campus.

3) The Gardens of Iol – a massive complex of hydroponic gardens, providing food for the population. The plants are grown under artificial light and in strictly guarded environment. The complex provides jobs for hundreds of people, who tend to the plants with the help of remotely controlled drones. Part of the complex also consists of recyclers – waste is turned into clean water and fertilizers. Water used in the hydroponics is also recycled a lot, the excess water is condensed and reused.

4) The House of Asclepius – large medical center located near the center of Siderea. This complex of hospitals and medical facilities provides every kind of care – assisted reproduction clinic for couples that are having trouble conceive children, maternity hospital, physicians for children and adults, skilled surgeons and experts from other fields of medicine, even hospices.

FACTION LEADER: Royarch Khenyakateph Anehekt the Immortal

APPERANCE: Entombed in a suit of resplendent and ornate life-support armored warsuit, Royarch Anehekt the Magnificent stands as a god amongst men from not only the additional height of his suit, but also his very aurora. His death mask has been carved in exquisite beauty and fitted with speakers so that all may hear his roar.

SHORT BIO: Born a genius prodigy under the name of Haval Karine in the Core Worlds, Karine would develop and grow into a cruel and ambitious man, bent on obtaining as much power as he could. Using his intelligence, he perfected the illegal technology of Mind Shackling, forcing those he deemed worthy of serving him to undergo the implantation.

Charged with high treason and unethical science, Karine would make his way to the outer edges of known space where the Central Authority couldn't reach him. Taking his most loyal followers and a legion of mind shackled thralls, Karine would make his way to the colony of Kaliah, a society that seemed to want to emulate the great empire and kingdoms of ancient Egypt. Descending upon the planet, Karine declared that any who would willingly serve him would be granted privileges in his new order. While some of the settlers joined his cause out of fear or willingly, many did not. However, the meager colonial defenses where no match for the legion of undying warriors Karine brought with him who kept on fighting even after death as their implants kept them moving like living robots.

Within weeks the colony fell and the its main city was razed the ground, its remaining population mind shackled and Karine took control, dividing up land between his followers. Renaming himself Khenyakateph Anehekt the Magnificent, he set himself up as Royarch of his new territory and set about rebuilding all he had destroyed in his conquest while also preparing for the future expansion into the sea of stars.

However, something cursed the new leader and he began to show signs of a mysterious illness. He had tossed and turned for days on end, vomiting up blood and bile as his body atrophied. Ordering his Fabricators and researchers to find a cure, he would set his new society down a path that would forever change them: a quest for immortality. Behind closed doors, a suit was built for the Royarch, capable of sustaining him through his illness. However, it was too late as Anehekt had already passed seconds before he the suit was delivered. Saddened and ashamed, the Fabricators used the suit meant to prolong their lord's life as his burial coffin, entombing him into the suit and laying him to rest in a grand mausoleum, using all manner of surgery, genemodding and implants to make him look healthy in death.

A decade would pass as the fledgling empire would crumble into warlordism and civil war as the planet was once again decimated. However, one day, a stray artillery shell cracked open the Mausoleum of Anehekt. Once the smoke had cleared, the figure of Anehekt, still interred in his warsuit and death mask, awoke and saw what had become of his ambitions. In a rage, he roared and declared that he had conquered death and his empire would last a thousand years with him as its undying ruler.

Once again rallying his forces loyal to him, the reborn Royarch Anehekt marched upon his mutinous subjects, nearly turning the world into a barren tomb world in the process but at long last he was once again the undisputed king of all under the blazing sun. Death seems to have changed Anehekt, making him less cruel if only by a little and more willing to use diplomacy. With a new legion of vassals, Anhekt once again rebuilds his world from the devastation he created himself, forever known as the man whose ambitions even death could not take, forever known as Anhekt the Immortal.
