The Belt Alliance
WIP
Leadership
The Belt Alliance consists of three smaller factions that have banded together to form one whole. They are led by a board of directors with three representatives from each small faction.
These three representatives from each faction consist of one military commander, one economic overseer and one operations director. Their roles differ somewhat between each faction.
Members
The VestibuleA faction of traders, corporations and scientists that produce the ideas and goods of the alliance. They have the biggest impact and responsibility of the alliance's economy and budget. They also employ scientists that produces new technologies in the form of warfare and travel. They are among the sharpest minds of Mars, but is a relatively small group. Both the scientists and traders are directed by the corporations of the faction that hold the largest economical interests in the alliance. They further trade with other factions and has a sole goal of making a profit.
The ArchitectsA fancy name for a workforce faction. The Architects are the operations managers and has the largest population and workforce of the alliance. The Vestibule provides the ideas and directives, and the Architects see it done. They are master builders, engineers, technicians and overall masters of manual labor. They build and repair ships and mine the minerals in one of Mars' largest mining operations. At least as large as it can be when it's secret. The workforce have recently taken up hold in old abandoned mining facilities to escape suspicion from the larger, more dangerous factions and to mine the secrets of the ground that others left behind.
The Redfist GroupFinally, the Redfist Group. A military faction of soldiers that serve as the alliance's police and military. The first and last line of defense and the second largest faction in the alliance. They don't have many ships, but they have very high quality infantry equipment and most of the soldiers are veterans, elites from the past centuries of war. Originally the Redfist Group was a mercenary faction with a vision - they wouldn't just sell their services to the highest bidder, they would join the faction that shared their ideals. When the Belt Alliance came into existance it was because the three factions alone were too scattered and threatened, but together they form a unified front on mars.
Faction Type
Mercenary/Corporation mixture. The Belt Alliance is a unification of a workforce faction, a corporations-and-trade faction and a mercenary faction.

EthenThe home of the Vestibule. A quite modern, grand city with shining skyscrapers and loads of business, non-industrial. Being the heart of the alliance, it has grown considerably since it's formation, as well as having been fortified and modernized. Serves as the alliance's capital and is there the committee sits, ruling over their factions.
PyriumA once huge crater on mars was refitted, quarried and mined. It is a large mining facility on the face of the planet, it serves as the largest industrial complex and mining facility for the alliance. The workforce of the architects make their home here, while the upper echelon of the faction is seated in Ethen. Most of the workers and foremen live here, and Pyrium has as such been made into the second largest settlement of the Belt Alliance. It's quarters burry deep into the planet so bombing the surface in conflict would serve to be almost pointless. Fortified, Pyrium can also close most of it's entrances down with shutters and massive metal doors.
FolstedThe "home" of the Redfist Group. Folsted is a big military complex and is located at the base of a mountain near Ethen. It houses all soldiers, military facilities, vehicles, crafts and weapons. Also has a prison further underground where the most dangerous criminals are held.
