Factions
Faction Name: Pretelliete Corporation/PretCorp
Show Content
SpoilerTheme Song: Protomen - The Hounds
Color: Basic Red, FF0000
Species Name and Description: Humans; Humanoid humans, much more functional than fashionable, wearing utilitarian space suits with small additions on a personal basis. Diversity is mostly in accessories, hair color, styles, and personal flair. Very high amount of robot pilots or other sorts of engineering related professions.
Faction History: The Preteliete Corporation began its time in the Esteen Vissal star sector ten years ago and quickly rose to prominence, growing faster than any other faction in the sector due to their powerful and versatile Propulsion Harmonic Machines. The PHMech’s vary in size and shape, each capable of serving in a wide array of functions, with the same group of robots being able to fly to a new outpost, set it up, and defend it without any modifications or need for different pilots. The other technology that empowered PretCorp to rise to prominence is their Kingdom Class Fortress, the Gran Kalibur, which orbits around their base of Deacon, making their home base virtually untouchable.
PretCorp left for the Esteem Vissal in search of new resources and people to capitalize on after a management dispute resulted in their resignation from their home planets mega-corp and branching out as their own thing, taking with them a sizeable amount of people, mechs, and company secrets. Presumably, the mega-corp they splinted from is still searching for them, and it is unknown to what lengths they would go to find them.
Home Planet: Deacon - A1; A mountainous planet, very rich in minerals, very convenient for the purposes of PreCorp, who use precious jewels as a focus to increase pilots potential and ability when piloting robots. Gran Kalibur, which orbits the planet, produces much of the planet’s food, as the rocky planet has a less than preferable amount of fruitful soil.
Faction Name: The Holy Empire of Enlightened Eazin
Show Content
SpoilerTheme Song: Marina and the Diamonds - Primadonna Girl
Color: Basic Green, 006400
Species Name and Description:Eazin; Tall humanoids with elongated features and very pointed ears. Very fashionable, direct and intentional in the tone of all of their actions and words, everything is a statement. At the forefront of entertainment technology, their VR Drama’s are some of the most engrossing media in the galaxy, with downloads of them being double the next most popular thing. New security software had to be developed to stop illegal downloads of them during the 3X Conflict by members of the opposing empires.
Faction History: The Holy Empire of Enlightened Eazin is native to the Esteem Vissal star sector, being one of the first species to reach for the stars and leave their planet in the sector. A matriarchy that believes in divine rule, the Holy Empire proceeded to attempt to convert many of the species and people of surrounding planets into their religion, though in recent times they have backed down a bit on being too forceful about it, instead relying on their giant media empire to spread the word, along with some of the most incredible entertainment in the entire galaxy.
The Empire’s VR technology aids in personal meditation and religious practices, allowing lighter packing as the technology can simulate holy symbols and settings. The VR technology also aids in the general psychological health of the empire’s inhabitants, and allows for very advanced training. The same technology is also used in military, allowing for control of the Empire’s ships to be done instantaneously via gestures instead of with mechanical triggers.
Home Planet: Our Heavenly Spiralan - B4; A lush planet with many grand structures and platforms, Sprialan is truly a planet of entertainers and religious people. Civilization has a high emphasis on aesthetic and being in tune with nature.
Faction Name: The Autonomous Core
Show Content
SpoilerTheme Song: Jamie Christopherson - Rules of Nature
Color: Basic Blue, 0000CD
Species Name and Description: The Autonomous; A seemingly robotic species, the Autonomous Core are actually a formerly biological species who uploaded their consciousness into robotic bodies to aid their travels in space. They can move their consciousness from body to machine to body without any negative effects. Reproduction is handled with artificial genetic material which creates a child to have their consciousness uploaded, it is very safe.
Faction History: The Autonomous Core was not always the Autonomous Core, their current form being, at the time, seen as a necessary sacrifice to escape a Leviathan, a planet eating creature that horribly corrupted their original home. It was seen as the only way to ensure that everyone could survive the long trip in space to another habitable planet while also making sure that no soul was left behind. However, on the trip that would lead them to the Esteem Vissal sector, they eventually changed their minds, enjoying their new robotic bodies.
While Infinite is not the ideal, perfect home that the Autonomous Core hoped for, it had all of the raw resources that the Autonomous Core needed, and allowed them to get to work. After realizing that they were not alone in the sector, the Autonomous Core began to worry. They had very little information on the Leviathan, and this new star sector seemed to have many more planets ripe for the pickings. Afraid of the Leviathan, the Autonomous Core deliberated, and came to the conclusion that they would have to rally people of the Esteem Vissal star sector into being able to counter the Leviathan, should it visit, even if it had to be done by force...
Home Planet: Infinite - F5; Infinite is, very much a planet of function over form, fitting for a race of people who care very little for their physical appearance. However, it’s great abundance of raw materials allows the tireless Autonomous Core to manufacture a large amount of machines. While visitors to Infinite can, survive, for the most part, there are very few foreigners, if any, who live on the planet, something the maybe too paranoid AutoCore see as a boon.

FAQ
Q: What's with the map?
A: It's mostly blank so people can pick whatever tile they want!
Q: What are the tiles called?
A: "Systems" works!
Q: Can my faction be an offshoot of another one?
A: Sure! I don't have any issues with you making your faction an offshoot of one of the ones I made or being part of something you collabed with someone else.
Q: So what's the deal with x?
A: Most of the time, you can probably answer that yourself! The events of the 3X Conflict are left vague intentionally so that the only relevant events are the ones that personally affected your faction, important battles and events and such can be tied into your factions history without issue, and if like, it comes into conflict with someone else in some way, I'm sure it should be fine with various handwaves like "oh pretcorp treated people worse as the war went on" to explain someone wanting to have their society lifted by them while someone else would want to start off as being subjugated or something.
Q: Ok but whats the deal with [specific thing]?
A: If you have something more detailed to ask like a specific factions culture or something, feel free to ask and I can answer/make it up! :>
